The portal for my next spiral around the Celtic Medicine Wheel is open! We begin September 19-20th at the Equinox threshold of autumn’s descent.

This year we return to in person circle at my home sanctuary Heartland in Fairfax CA. There is an online option!

This is an intimate circle of sisters seeking support, healing, authenticity and connection. What gifts and wounds we access and excavate becomes our medicine for ourself, family, community and earth!

We journey together 7 weekends for 7 months diving deep into the ancient Earth Spirit Medicine and seasonal spiral resurrecting our primordial power and memory.

The Medicine Women are waking up from ancestral trauma, exile and amnesia. It’s time to embody the elemental powers of the Feminine Earth Body.

After years on this spiral I now stand on different ground with this work. I hold the medicine firmly in my body as the force of the elements, wild and untamed, and a sword and shield of truth that slays illusions and artificial programs.

There are ample ways to learn and study shamanic medicine but only ONE WAY to embody it. It must be lived through the body- experienced through descent and surrender to the shedding, excavation of truth and retrieval of exiled parts. The elements can then be powerfully embodied, not separate from you.

This is the journey of Rewilding. A labyrinthine journey of remembering as life long devotion to your feminine wilderness.

I’m calling women who are waking up and recovering from wounds of patriarchal exile and separation from self. We will walk the path of radical recovery of shame based programs and embrace our shamanic feminine as a healing force. We will become the ALTAR.

If you’re local in the Bay Area I’d love to receive your inquiry!
Info is in my bio link.

The next spiral begins 9/19 in person at Heartland in Fairfax CA. We have a hybrid remote option! Join us in a sacred spiral of remembering your healing gifts and medicine for yourself, your lineage and earth. Who you dream of being is ready to emerge now. You are nothing less than the wild forces of nature, creation and rebirth. Your ancestors are calling you to remember.
Join our spiral on the Celtic Medicine Wheel and apprentice yourself to the original authentic intelligence of earth. Of life.

🌟Rewilding the Soul - Shamanic Medicine Initiation with the Celtic Medicine Wheel begins September 19th.

A woman’s life is a never ending journey of cycles and spirals guiding her into the depths and heights of fullness.

A womans life mirrors the changing of the seasons, the darkening of fall and the enlightening of spring. Her spirals of renewal are sacred and designed to unfold greater depths of embodied wisdom- the gifts unveiled with time’s passing.

The turning of the sun around the wheel of the year crosses eight thresholds activating codes of memory in a womans body, because she evolved with mother earth. A woman’s wise body is nothing less than mother earth embodied.

Nothing stands between her and her sovereign wild knowing living in her cells and soul.

The spiral of time unfolds and activates the magic and unfathomable mysteries of life, death, rebirth through the initiations of menarche, creation and menopause, the intelligent seasons of life.

The sacred medicine wheel is a container that guides the expression of creation.

This autumn is time to begin another spiral through the seasons , to turn within and know yourself as the ALTAR. To engage with life as sacred remembering of your interconnection with the web of time. To be the portal of ancestral wisdom and become the medicine woman you were born to be.

You are here to remember what was exiled, repressed and forgotten. To remember your embodied wild wisdom, your sacred body, your miraculous journey as the ancestral daughter of mother earth.

Embark on the heroines journey and KNOW THE ALTAR IS YOURSELF.

Ignoring the feminine perpetuates the same trauma patterns that got us here.

The systems that exiled the feminine benefit from male centered spirituality.

Naming earth, body and the feminine aspect of god as sacred is the remedy.

The work is not to become more spiritual, it is to be fully embodied. To feel the spirit of the goddess that lives in the body.

Accessing and remembering this empowerment is the radical healing work of this generation. Not just for women but for men too.

Forging the mine fields of shame, self hate, projection, dissociation, frozen emotions with fierce compassion and tenderness is the healing needed now.

Immersing in nature connection, ancestral remembering, somatic practices, intuition development, sexual healing and compassionate inquiry of emotional blocks is radical reclaiming of the feminine.

Women need supportive safe spaces to remember our sovereignty and transmute generations of disempowerment and prejudice.

Let’s make an oath to never again abandon ourselves. To honor the feminine mysteries and our ancestral grandmother’s earth wisdom that’s here now to guide us home to the truth.

Becoming Wild and Beautiful 6 week course begins Wednesday 4/22.
Join an intimate circle of women for support during these times of rising.

This class is excellent for therapists who are interested in nature wisdom practices for trauma.

Embracing a tree is mother’s comfort, belonging to earth, rooted deep, rising up with strength and grace. Ye are not separate but born from her like an acorn to become a source of nourishment and inspiration for others.

Becoming the Mother Tree - Remembering our eco-ancestors and wild earth constellations course is starting next week Earth Day! April 22 for 6 Wednesdays

Let’s join together for healing practices that take us into the body of nature for spring awakening and the resilience we need for these times!

Becoming Wild and Beautiful is your birthright. Knowing and feeling the instinctual wisdom and power in your DNA is for you to remember and embody.

The healing journey in our Age of Enlightenment is not complete without ancestral integration which includes our exiled animal nature.

Our bodies are an ecological evolutionary genetic weave of the web of creation, plant, animal, fungi, elemental. We are 90% leopard…

Shamanic practices include our more than human kin for magical healing and guidance. They are not outside of us but the wild feminine parts that have been demonized and repressed from our psyche and bodies.

Our nervous system is a shapeshifter not a straight line. Not an unaffected static fortress that the wounded masculine has forced upon the world. The elements, seasons and wild animal parts respond to stress and creation. Eco ancestral retrieval is reclaiming our power from the systematic desecration of our wild feminine origins.

We are being called by Mother Gaia to feel our embodiment and call of our ancestral mothers to re-member the truth of who we are. Sacred Earth

When the world is in chaos, when your heart is heavy with emotion, when daily life is burdened by worry, access your creative resilience mirrored in our Wild Wise Kin!

Becoming Wild and Beautiful is for women who are seeking ways to support themselves and others during these times - to inhabit the resilient capacity of your nervous system, your ancient inner beauty and eco-ancestral gifts of empowerment.

We are the children of earth, air, fire, water-
walking, standing, flying and swimming creatures.
Remember Remember

Unleash your primal powers of radical resilience, cunning creativity and instinctual intuition that will guide you through these changing times!

Creating space for shamanic somatic embodiment to guide you into emergence, calling on all your wise and wild resources to navigate a deeper way of embodying your energy and meet outer challenges with your inner fire.

We meet the moment by energizing our organic AI, Authentic Intelligence as wild feminine embodiment. This gathering circle provides a grounded magical space to support one another and rise with change. Reptile, ocean and mammal ancestral kin, snake, dragon, dolphin, jellyfish, jaguar and horse, are calling us to bring our inner powers alive.

Wild conscious intelligence from millions of years of evolution live within you. Discover new ways of working with trauma other than the model of nervous system regulation based on a mammalian predator/prey sympathetic response. This approach inspired by Dr. Azra Bertand’s ecosomatics work combined with shamanic journeying and power animal retrieval will give you a new integrated access to creativity, intuition, fierce knowing and power.

We need to dive deep within our cellular memory to access the primal eco-ancestral intelligence that offers us gifts of resilience that only wild animal and plant know better, as quantum adaptation.

Welcome to my new beautiful garden space for Heartland Healing! I’m thrilled to share this magical and peaceful space for in person one-to-one sessions in Fairfax CA.

I moved to this 111 year old house 6 months ago and renovated the back garden cottage that called me to this location. A private creek side sanctuary in the heart of a downtown neighborhood with towering redwoods, oaks and bay trees.

I’ve practiced the healing arts for over 12 years professionally. I have a 1st Class Honors degree in Counseling and Psychotherapy from Ireland specializing in Ecotherapy. Also while living there for 4 years I apprenticed and trained in Advanced Celtic Shamanism and received my Reiki Master/Teacher and Rahanni Teacher level. I certified in Compassionate Inquiry Trauma Therapy with Dr Gabor Mate and many other healing therapies if you’d like to read my website bio.

Primarily I’m holding safe heart centered intimate spaces for people who are ready to meet what issues are arising in the now- through a childhood trauma and ancestral lens. Healing happens through dialogue counseling, psychic revelations, unveiling ancestral burdens, parts work, grief therapy, deep compassionate self regard, emotional expression and hands on shamanic healing.

I found this path of service through a dark night of the soul which revealed my truest gifts and calling. I am a wounded healer and am passionate about supporting people who have experienced similar traumas. I continue to work with and face my inner integration from religious programming, patriarchal conditioning and feminine represssion, grief and loss, empath/narcissist dynamics and childhood trauma. I live and embody the path of healing and it is my sacred calling to support you through your own life initiations.

I work with both men and women - especially women who are seeking ways into their sovereignty through the heroines journey.

Hands on healing with Reiki, Rahanni or Shamanic healing is available for all.

I am guided by the divine feminine: Brigid -the fiery arrow, the Cailleach wise owl/moon seer. Serpent, Stag, Selkie & Swan. The dark goddesses Inanna, Sedna and beloved Mary Magdalene.

Much love 🌹🌀🙏

Moon Sisters you are invited to a dark moon Grief Ritual and Shamanic Journey with sacred burial sites of Ireland. This Thursday 11/20 at 5pm pdt online.

The energies are profound this week for a sacred pause to tend to grieving what is in the dark ready to be released. We are in a powerfully aligned time for healing with the moon and Venus’ descent to the underworld. A time to grieve our losses and let die the old for this final shedding in the Year of the Snake, diving deep to find regeneration and rebirth.

Included will be:
-Shamanic journey to a sacred burial chamber in Ireland that aligns with Samhain sunrise
-Grief ritual with the elements
-Meeting the Cailleach
-Journaling prompts
-Group connexion and sharing

We are working with the energies of the Ancestral Realm, Moon, Venus and the Dark to assist us with healing our exiled inner places that need holding and expression.

What energies need tending within you? Power Loss, Soul Loss, or your Golden Shadow - unmanifested gifts that lay dormant hiding under unmitigated grief. Swim to the depths and retrieve the precious jewels that belong to your soul.

This is the first of three Grief Rituals I’m holding over the next three dark moons preparing us for Venus rising in February.

If you feel to amend scrolling fever and allow yourself to be present in a safe restorative healing community space for women you are welcome. It’s where we can begin to set down our burdens and get real with ourselves and each other. My spaces are deep medicine and guided by ancestral connection, based upon a foundation of healing with real life experience not just information or trendy quick fixes. The Cailleach shows us the way to trust our inner unfolding.

Comment dark moon or send a DM for more info.
~much love 🌑

10/05/2025

When you go home to god how do you explain - how do you find words for what it is that moves the very soul of your life? It’s here in these stones, in this wind, in this nevereverland echoing ancient voices alive pulling me to see again. To feel them, their devotion. Their knowing that is beyond ours. I climb again, and again. Across the grykes, over the fissures that separate us in time. The winds that sing a song I can’t describe, only feel. All I know is my spirit is free. I clambor home up treacherous hills split with rain and time , pleading to remember. Where are thee - in the hawthorns, in the other world of sweet spring waters, in the sky ever changing. I know somehow. Somehow I know.
