My Journey
Throughout my life I had always felt different, as a child I took time in solitude and liked to sing to the trees and the flowers, make ‘witches brews’ from garden weeds and write poetry. I had always been a very sensitive soul and from a young age, it felt as though I carried too much pain. After experiencing multiple traumas in my younger life, I lost my way and became disconnected from myself – and then chose to keep escaping and dissociating in any way I could. I became lost in addictions, eating disorders, depression, harmful and self-sabotaging behaviours and patterns. I had very little self-esteem, self-belief and felt disconnected from everyone around me.
By my early twenties I faced a very strong descent into my own personal underworld, which I now recognize to be part of my own initiation onto this path and my awakening. I lost myself completely, a complete annihilation of the self – which eventually led to my first spiritual awakening, and my awareness of healing energies and the angelic realms. Despite even having extreme life struggles and challenges, I was always drawn to be in helping professions my whole life – acting the ‘wounded healer’ and finding meaning in supporting others. I have studied Psychology, social work and counselling skills and worked for many years within the social care sector with vulnerable children and adults. I have worked and supported people with a variety of complex needs including individuals facing addiction, mental health problems, homelessness, domestic violence, offenders, refugees, modern slavery survivors, children and families and so on. I was always committed to being a light in the dark, even for those facing the most challenging of circumstances – to the best of my ability. However, I did not resonate or fit working within these social care ‘systems’ and my true passion has always been in the realms of the creative, spiritual and magical.
I first became an Energy healer in 2012, beginning my journey with Usui Reiki which I trained to Reiki Master Teacher level. I began travelling the world and training in a number of holistic healing modalities. My travels took me on spiritual and soul-searching journeys where I have studied wisdom and spirituality of multiple cultures and took part in philanthropic work. This has included working with children including those living on the street in Zimbabwe, Peru and Nepal. I studied Vedic spirituality in India, and went on pilgrimage to sacred sites in Japan amongst others. I began sitting with the sacred plant teachers in Peru in 2013 where I was first introduced to plant spirit shamanism.
My enthusiasm to learn more about shamanism led me to complete a life-changing training utilizing core shamanic techniques, advanced energy healing and learning to hold space within ceremonies in 2017. During this time, I combined study of family systems theory, ancestral healing, shamanism with plant medicine to connect and provide healing to my own ancestral line. In 2022, I travelled to Brazil and completed a Samakei Diet and Study with the Yawanawa tribe of the Brazilian Amazon where we learnt their ancestral tradition and spirituality. My journey with the medicine path has been powerful and humbling and I continue to bow to the Great Mystery. My approach with shamanism comes from my study of all the various lineages and traditions that I have experienced, and a deep affinity to the Celtic-druidic ways of my homelands.
My greatest joy on this path has been to hold spaces where people can come together to pray for the Earth. I refer to myself as a ‘sacred activist’ as I organize ceremonial events and rituals as offering to our mother Gaia, including sacred tree planting and I founded a non-profit environmental organization in 2019. I have a passion for land healing work, and holding the prayer that humanity can live in right relationship with the Earth and each other. Indeed, my own salvation came through establishing this relationship and reconnecting to myself and the sanctity of all life, through my healing path.
In 2020, whilst living in Glastonbury-Avalon I developed a transformational relationship with the medicine of the Rose, and the lineage representing the sacred marriage of the Sophia-Christos. I studied and chose to dedicate as an Avalon Rose Priestess, with a special spiritual affinity with Maria Magdalena who I feel represents the rise of the divine feminine within our planetary consciousness. During this powerful alchemical moment in my life, where I worked with the power of the rose, I finally manifested my beloved into my life. I had already done lots and lots of self-work on myself, to heal my heart, my relationships, my ancestral line and to love myself – yet I am so grateful to the spirit of the rose for her activation and profound medicine within my life. Chris arrived when I least expected – but only at the perfect moment in complete divine timing. This was the moment my whole life truly changed, and I found the partner in all senses of the word I had searched for my entire life. It fills me with so much gratitude to be with a partner who shares my passion for healing work, shamanism and who is committed as I to walking a path of beauty, growth and love. We have been working together ever since and our love story will always be my favourite.
I am so so grateful for my life experience of moving through personal darkness to self-empowerment, realising my dreams and being of joyful service to others. I believe everyone has this magic within them to alchemize their pain into power and turn compassion into action, and it is my mission to support you in doing this.
