Pilgrimage Guide : Womb Weaver : Ceremonialist

Welcome,

it’s a joy to meet you here.

Perhaps you were guided by the whispers of synchronicity, in searching, or by a fellow companion on the path into the mystery. You are invited, just as you are ~ as we follow the crimson thread, that leads into the uncharted vibrant landscape, inside of you.

I’m here to walk by your side, to awaken curiosity and the deep knowing that lives in your bones, and dares you to shake off the shackles that prevent you from living your life in truth.

What I share comes from a life-time of initiations, living in a cyclic way ~ of life, death, rebirth ~ woven with the wisdom of teachers who have graced my path, and my own embodied experience.

With my womb as my guide, I have led women into their own inner sanctum ~ and deep into the belly of mother earth, to meet the fertile, living darkness that births us.

My method encompasses a rich tapestry of experience & personal exploration ~ traversing the realms of female animism, pilgrimage & communion with sacred sites, somatic womb work, flower & vibrational healing and a life-long student to the whisperings of the earth & plants. In this relational way ~ together we follow the current of aliveness, the spark inside that wishes to come alight, to guide you home to you.

FOUR

PILLARS

LISTENING

so much harm has been brought to women by them simply not being heard. In both individual & group settings, to witness is one of the primary praxis that I bring forth. Deep, authentic listening, creates space for compassion, understanding & trust.

INTIMACY

one of our greatest human desires, is to feel close, emotionally connected & supported, in all aspects of our lives. But in striving for connection, we often forget that before we truly allow ourselves to open to others ~ we must become deeply intimate with ourselves. Here I invite you into gentle, yet radical honesty as you meet your body, womb, heart & source in ancient and new ways.

EMBODIMENT

if we are to truly see change in our inner & outer worlds, then all that we learn longs to come home to the body, to be embodied, to be anchored as truth. In much of the world, we are experiencing a paradigm born from the mind, yet the untamed path of the feminine, knows every inch of her blood, flesh & skin ~ and can invite others into this deep sense of belonging.

LOVE

at the centre of all things, we return to our origins. My work is love made visible. If what we do is not rooted in love, in deep unwavering love ~ then it can easily become disconnected from soul. The invitation is to discover together what love, and to love truly is. Unwinding the binds that prevent us from fully living from the heart.

TRAINING & INITIATIONS

In my life~long quest for adventure, my early years involved training and competing as a cyclist in the British Cycling Youth Team ~ teaching me the art of discipline & attaining goals. Through a crash & out of body experience ~ my reality shifted and though I gave up the lycra, something was awakened in what is possible when we fully inhabit the body. I began practicing yoga from the age of 12, but my passion grew as I moved to Bristol and was un-schooling myself in my art degree. Finding solace in the rhythmic movements & breath, I eventually chose to train as a Yoga Teacher (200 HR YTT) in what became one of the most challenging years of my life. I discovered how community & a dedicated practice can pull us through in the darkest of times. I received a First in Drawing and Applied Arts, in a project devoted to womb, earth & the primordial feminine ~ as I expressed the grief of my PCOS & Endometriosis diagnosis. Through this I learnt the ancient, creative voice of the womb ~ & simultaneously life initiated me into love, loss & grief. At the tender age of 22, after discovering both the power & pain held in my womb ~ I attended Uma Dinsmore Tuli’s : Well Woman Yoga Therapy Training. My first time in a circle of women, I realized the healing gifts in my tears, in truly feeling ~ and being mirrored by others in my own experience as a woman. Traveling the world I was put into contact with earth-based traditions that honour the sacredness in all of life. Deeply moved by what I experienced, I began to search for deeper meaning, exploring through plant medicines, ritual & prayer ~ with a longing to discover my own ancient origins. Through a series of synchronistic events & guidance, I was led into the embrace of a female animistic path; with 7 years of study, I have been unstitching the binds of internalized patriarchy, silencing and persecution ~ & reclaiming the lost voice of the untamed, primal feminine. During my second encounter with Central America, I undertook a 3 week initiation into Midwifing the Veils ~ a sacred journey traversing & learning the art of midwifing the thresholds of birth, blood, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, sovereignty, death & rebirth. Discovering the priestess quality to hold instinctual knowledge, that has the willingness to illuminate what otherwise may not be seen. As I came to meet my shadow, with more willing and loving eyes ~ I was introduced to the frequency of the rose. In her gentle embrace, I began to unravel internalized shame, ancestral wounding and unlock my voice ~ receiving an education in the power within softness, and the softness within power. Awakening to the whisperings of the plants, I began a life~long study into their wisdoms & teachings, deepening early explorations with plant medicines through ceremony ~ by tuning into their vibrational essences, immersing in dietas, and delving into plant spirit communication. Through this I learnt the art of deep listening, accessing the capacity to feel the subtleties expressed without words: inviting the whole body and being into the conversation. Desiring to support others in accessing this magic, and the emotional alchemy it brings: I dived into a year-long apprenticeship into vibrational medicine & flower essences. Being led by my heart has always drawn me to places of mysterious origin: and making the move to the sacred lands of the Magdalen, in the South of France: unlocked hidden memories in my ancestral line, and my role as a guide & guardian to the numerous sites of myth & mystery unveiled itself. Here, pilgrimage and communion with the divine ~ became a way of life; receiving teachings from cave, river, tree & rock ~ in a quest to remember soul & source as one. As my service deepened, so has the desire for tools to further guide the unfurling feminine, so the realm of somatics: opened up, and another year long study into somatic womb work, has brought soft knowledge through earth-based wisdoms, nervous system mapping, mindfulness & the depths of East Asian Medicine. With the rose as one of my most influential guides, through a serendipitous encounter, I met my teacher in Mexico: to learn the art of Sanacion de las Rosas: healing of the roses. An ancient technology of working with physical roses to clear the energetic system, realign the chakras ~ and awaken a deeper connection with the rose. Now, I’m readying myself to embark on an in-depth training into womb~hara massage, body-wrapping, Japanese moxibustion and yoni steaming.
