I take an integrated approach to healing by combining holistic counselling, shamanic healing and feelings-based communication practices.

HOLISTIC & SPIRITUAL PRACTICES

I believe in the healing power of story… When you’re experiencing discomfort, distress and/or dis-ease I can’t emphasise enough how insight-full and important it is to see that there is a story that we hold about this discomfort. Our stories are made up of our beliefs and life experiences. We tell our stories everyday to our friends, our colleagues, our partners. It is less often that we take the time to tell them to ourselves and to see what drives these stories; where did they come from? Stories have different layers that are often connected to our different levels of awareness or consciousness. Your story may appear to be as simple as "I'm unhappy at work". However, there will generally be more stories layered beneath the surface that have compounded over time to bring you to this conclusion. The emotions that we experience from these hidden stories can leave us asking questions like: "How did I end up here?" and "Why does this pattern keep showing up in my life? Once you can see these stories with more clarity you are a position to be able to take a look at yourself, through your stories, from different perspectives. From this new expanded vantage point you then have more power to consciously choose to change your stories and/or allow new healing stories to reveal themselves to you through learning how to listen to the wisdom that is already stored within your mind (psyche), body and soul. A session with me is an opportunity for you to take time to reconnect with yourself.... to be held and guided as you check in with the whole of you, for a deeper understanding of what moves within you. Along the way you will begin to see what is blocking your path and also what is waiting just under the surface... ready to emerge. I'll be right beside you on your journey guiding you into practices that allow you to receive a much fuller perspective of what energy sits within you and is feeding your body and your life choices right now...

It is from this place of recognising what exists in the present that we can follow the thread to its roots, feel completely and hence release old patterns, embed new qualities that are supportive and create more spaciousness within which to live a life of ease, purpose and connection.

In exactly 3 weeks time I'll be stepping into this powerful Women's Lab style container that is IGNITION with these two big hearted Women and a group of pioneers ready to Ignite their inner flame.

Sylvia & Shae are each weaving their unique offerings into the space as well as being participants in the training... as will I.

Sylvia has been co-facilitating Reclaiming Anger Trainings with me for the past 4yrs now and will be holding space for Women's Anger work and the Fierce Mother with me as well as bringing awareness to nervous system health for our journey.

Shae will be guiding us into some somatic inquiry to access our body wisdom around some vital and juicy topics as well as holding space for one of our ritual spaces.

This is what we know right now... as is the way of the feminine... it is non-linear and we will also be following the impulses of the necessities that arise in the group at the time.

Read more about the training and each of us on the IGNITION website page that you can find in below.

🔥 IGNITION begins long before we gather in person 🔥

Starting November 1st, I’ll be opening a 25minute online listening & heart speaking space with the intention to carve new riverbeds for our embodied hearts wisdom to flow into the world.

Once you register for this Women's gathering you will receive a link to a Telegram Group and a Zoom space for this daily morning practice.

Speaking from your heart after connecting with your body and the body of earth beneath you is a precious and profound way to connect with your being and weave yourself into this rich tapestry that we are creating together.

This will be a space to ground, to trust, and to grow familiar with the hearts and voices of those who will stand beside you in this shared journey, inviting our inner knowing to come alive as one shared organism.

IGNITION is a calling to come home, to listen deeply, to ignite our own wisdom and carry it into the world with courage and clarity.

This morning space is for those ready to be part of something whole and alive, moving together toward a new way of being.

Full details of the training space and morning practice are on the IGNITION website page which you can find in the comments.

𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 :: 𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻'𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿

A few years ago I discovered a circle of Women behind me.
When I saw, and moreso felt, them for the first time we all cried together... and the tears formed a river that has been steadily flowing through me ever since.

I've not always been present to them. I've ignored them, gone against their guidance and still... they are there.

These Women are part of my Archetypal Lineage - guides, if you will, that offer wisdom, power and a lot of humour... they love to laugh.

They are elders from different continents. They are many faces of the feminine. They are of the Earth and share her wisdom, her tears, her ferocity... and they don't always agree with each other! That's confusing sometimes.

They are connected to my purpose for being here, on the planet, at this time, and after decades of offering trainings and workshop for all genders, it is time, to step out, along with them, and offer spaces for Women.

IGNITION is just the beginning.

It is a space to ignite your inner flame, your fire, your passion and burn through the entangled vines that have twisted and shaped stories within you of what Women 'should' be in the world so you can become what you truly are.

It is a space to incarnate even further; coming home to your bodies as part of a greater ecosystem in deep connection with this body of Earth that we each live on.

It is a space to take up space and let the authentic voices of your bodies speak in a way that is not shaped by domination or manipulation but by the wisdom of you intuitive inner knowing.

Doing so means taking radically responsibility for the roles you've played in upholding unhealthy patriarchal systems both within yourself, within your close relationships and as part of a greater ecosystem around you that we call culture. If you're not willing to look at this then this space is not for you.

I believe... we, with the physical and energetic structures of Woman, have a significant role to play in Mothering in a new way of being in this world.

Mothering in the way of gestating, birthing, nurturing, tending, initiating, empowering, roaring... LOVING.

It is time to let our hearts fiercely and lovingly pe*****te the world from deep within our Earthly bodies.

Forced pe*******on from within a patriarchal culture has done a lot of damage both to physical bodies and the body of Earth.

Reclaiming your power as a Woman is an initiatory process of reclaiming your power to pe*****te the world with your heart song, your love, your embodied wisdom.

If this is song is singing in you, join us for IGNITION, 28 Nov - 1 Dec at the stunning Vine & Branches Personal Growth Centre.

Someone asked me yesterday WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN YOU RETIRE?

My response: Retirement is a concept created from within a patriarchal structure that I choose not buy into.

I have created a lifestyle where there is no distinction between work and 'the rest of my life'.

From this place there's nothing to retire from... I just live my life.

If you want support creating more of a streamlined lifestyle where, in patriarchal language, you've already retired... reach out.

I hold space for people to unpack this topic and discover new pathways for a life that could be more fulfilling.

We'll look at mechanisms are at play right now and unpack their purpose so you can catch them running on autopilot and make new, more empowering choices.

Along the way you'll probably encounter stuck emotions and I'll support you to discover how to harness the energy and information of your conscious Feelings (different to emotional energy) for navigating life in a whole new way.

Shoot me a message if you want to have a chat about how this could look for you.

WE START IN 1 WEEK TODAY NTHN RIVERS FOLK
Are you IN or OUT?
You can draw on the clarity of Anger to make your decision.

I've been both surprised and not surprised at the level of interest in this training.

Surprised because on all accounts I have more people contacting me with questions & expressing 'interest' on fb that I get down in Melbourne.

And not surprised as there's not really anything like this up here (from what I've heard or that I know of) and I can feel the longing/need for it in the region.

I don't know how many times I've heard "Oh, we need your work up here..." when I've told folk I'm coming to run Reclaiming Anger Training.

When I ask people why they say that it's all about embodiment, grounding, commitment. And with these qualities comes more clarity, power, stepping in/forward into your life.

If you want more of this in your life check out the link in the comments and come join us. Seán Ó'Faoláin, Freer Bonne, Aurora Bee and I are gearing up to hold space for you to take your next steps... whatever they may be. And they're different for every one.

See you there.

Trying to build a nest in someone else's heart is often where so many relationships fall down.

I've been guilty of this myself.

It is a particular tendency of those with more anxious attachment styles who seek 'safety' in others. The pathway back being to relocate home to a location that is anchored deep within.

Reparenting the inner child that is still looking for the external parent and reassuring them that you are now playing this role in their lives is key.

In particular is showing up and put your actions behind your words.

Start the inner dialogue. Anchor in to your Centre, connect to your adult Self and build a relationship with the child that, up until now, needs others to change to feel secure.

Connect to your core feelings and take responsibility for decluttering the emotional baggage so you can create a clear environment with which to lay solid foundations.

Explore, play, share, feel, express together. Over time the inner child can relax, trust (YOU) and start to mature and integrate into a more solid, embodied adult version of you where Love can flourish no matter what's going on around you.

Inner dynamics like this will be part of the R.E.A.L. Relating Circles that Gero and I are holding space for over the coming weeks.

R.E.A.L Relating is Radical, Embodied, Archetypal and Loving.

3 Open Circles will kick off in a couple of weeks followed by a closed 6 week container.

HOW WIDE IS YOUR LOVE SPHINCTER?

I'm on fire with Love and Relating research at the moment.

At 6am Saturday morning I was all rugged up and on a relationship coaching call (spanning 3 timezones across the globe) with a couple who have a radical commitment to taking extraordinary responsibility for what they're bringing to their relating container.

During the call words were coming out of my mouth I had never said before as Love Maps were downloading through me in real time.

Tonight I've been in a whimsical flow state drawing up drafts of the maps. One of which is the Love Sphinchter Map. I'm not going to share more about it right now as it's still in-formation.

As is the Re-wiring Love Map

2 days to go and 2 places left.
Reclaiming Anger starts in 48hrs.

Annika and I have been doing some serious prep which has included playing with goats, making avocado chocolate mouse (it's serious business) and discovering who has the biggest forehead scar. Annika won that one!

We're looking forward to holding space for this training together for the first time.

I'm excited to be stepping into a trusted and familiar space while bringing new energy and new practices to the mix.

If one of the last places is yours you can book in via the link in the comments.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥

Assertiveness or direct communication can often be misinterpreted as aggression, especially by those who are not comfortable with or who don't have a have a healthy relationship with... Anger.

This is such a common experience that I hear from people who come to Reclaiming Anger... and through encounters in daily life.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲 '𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲' 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰.

Gabor Mate talks about this in the context of how we either choose to adapt (to belong/be loved) or to be authentic. (And our schooling and health care systems teach us more about adapting than authenticity.)

This used to be me 15 or so years ago. Complaining that people are being rude simply for saying "No, I don't want that." or for stating clearly what they do want.

𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀.

It seemed inconsiderate and lacking empathy.

These days I find it relaxing and refreshing to hear someone's clarity without any fluff. When I encounter people who communicate from this place I know where I stand, I trust the space and that I can bring my authentic voice in and not a toned down version of myself. Then we're playing a very different and more grounded and exciting game.

However, in the early days of doing my own Anger work I felt a lot of Fear to invite Anger in and allow it to have it's place for expression as I felt like I would come across as being aggressive, rude or perhaps even inconsiderate or dangerous for people.

And yes, irresponsible, unconscious, unhealthy, misdirected Anger can be all of those things.

However when you learn what it feels like in your physical body to have the strength of radically responsible, conscious, heathy Anger in flow you can experience Anger as Strength, Clarity, Vitality, Decisiveness, Safe space-holding and Containment.

For me this all came down to what kind of life do I want to lead? Who do I want to spend time with? And, more so, not wanting to waste time faffing about trying to please others when we could all be getting on with being authentic and creating a new kind of pathway for our life force energy to flow along with much more freedom.

Living this way however does have an added edge of responsibility.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰, 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Your initial impulse may be to rescue them from their discomfort or justify your actions.

Another option would be to draw on your newly acquired relationship with healthy Anger and hold space for them to share about their experience. To express what they're feeling... to be authentic.

For me this shift was life-changing. And yes, it did mean that the nature of some relationships I had with people changed. This is inevitable on any changemakers pathway.

It also meant attracting new people into my life both personally and professionally that aligned with this new, more authentic way of being.

There is no right or wrong here. No way is better than the other. All paths have consequences and outcomes however. And it's up to you as to whether the experience you're creating in your life is working for you or not. And if not, do you want to change something?

𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘁. 𝗡𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂... 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁.

And, making any significant new choice/action, is an act of boundary setting. I'm no longer doing this... I'm now going to do that! And for boundary setting, and more importantly holding, you need a healthy, clear and strong relationship to the clean, pure energy of Anger.

How is your relationship with Anger... yours and others? And how does that impact how your show up in your life? Are you adapting to the perceived needs/desires/pleasures of others? Or are you able to access and express what is authentically alive for you?

Feel free to share below or even shoot me a private message. I'd love to hear how this lands... and is... for you.

With Love
