✨ One Last Arrival ✨

I’m sitting in the pavilion at Anam Cara, tea in hand, watching the light move across the land. The birds are chirping softly this morning. It feels like the calm inhale before a full house 🌿

Everyone arrives today, and I can already feel the shift that happens when we’re all under one roof again- the laughter at the door, the long hugs, the way we settle into each other like no time has passed ❤️

Eighteen months ago we walked into this training as strangers. Now, these are some of the greatest friends I’ve ever had. They’ve seen me cracked open. They’ve seen me powerful. We’ve talked about spirit and ceremony, and also the most ordinary, human things. Nothing has been off limits 🌀

This week isn’t just the end of a course. It’s the last time this exact group of us will gather like this. After this, it will become memory 🕊️

That’s the part I keep feeling in my body. The way I’ll notice everything a little more closely. The way dinner conversations will feel fuller. The way I’ll want to stretch each moment just another second longer 🌙

There’s excitement here. Love. A quiet knowing that something sacred is completing ✨

And today, before any of it begins, I’m just grateful I get to welcome them one more time 🥰

✨ Coming Soon ✨

Picture this…

You’re stepping off the ferry, leaving the city noise behind. The energy feels different out here. Lighter. Crisp 🌅

Water guiding you, alive and steady 🌊
Earth beneath you, grounding and sure 🌱
Wind brushing past you, already clearing what you’ve been carrying 🌬️

And somewhere inside you, a quiet fire flickers…
Eager. Ready. Anticipating the exhale 🔥

A full day immersed in sound, ceremony, and deep restoration. Open sky above. The elements as your guides 🌿

Space to soften. Space to surrender. An invitation to finally let go ❤️

✨ Letting It End ✨

In a week, I go back to Scotland for the final round of my 18-month training 🌿

The fourteen of us will sit in that room one last time as the Clan of the Rising White Phoenix. That exact configuration of people, energy, and depth won’t exist again in the same way 🐦‍🔥

I’ve been witnessed in that room in ways that changed me. I’ve spoken things I never imagined saying out loud. I’ve been held by people who saw straight through every mask and stayed anyway 🕊️

For a while, I kept trying to brace myself for the ending. Like if I could get ahead of it, maybe it wouldn’t hit as hard 😥

It didn’t work 😅

The only thing that worked was sitting with it. Letting it be unavoidable. Letting myself feel how much this mattered without trying to shrink it 🤍

Scotland has become a second heartbeat for me. A second home. A second self 🌄

I love who I am there.

I love how open I am. How wild, honest, connected I am. How deeply I let myself feel…

And honestly? Part of me is afraid of losing her when I come home 🖤

There’s always been comfort in knowing I’d be back in a few months. Back to the land. Back to that version of me that comes alive there 🌹

After this, there’s no timeline. It might be six months. It might be six years. I don’t know.

And that uncertainty has weight.

There’s the Sydney who lives in Canada. Wife. Friend. Practitioner. Daughter. Sister 🌙

And there’s the Sydney who lives in Scotland. Moonlight River. Takina. Clan member. Nature lover. The version of me forged in circle 🔥

Those two have to learn how to live in the same body now. In the same ordinary days. That’s what this ending is really asking of me ❤️

To stop splitting my life into places.
To stop believing the magic only exists there.
To trust that what was awakened in that land can breathe here too 🌬️

I’m going to cry on the last day. I already know that. But that’s ok- it means this meant something special 🥰

I’m letting myself grieve what was. And I’m ready for what comes next ✨

✨ Out of Office: March Update ✨

After an 18 month journey deepening my shamanic practice in the Scottish highlands, I will be away from February 28-March 29 concluding this incredible chapter of my life ❤️

It’s wild to even say that. This has been perhaps the most transformative experience for me, personally and professionally, and this final gathering feels so bitter sweet. A beautiful closing and integration of everything I’ve been walking through 🔥

Just like before, I’ll be sharing moments of my journey with you on Instagram and Facebook, but will not be replying to emails or taking bookings during this time 👇

That being said, if you’ve been wanting to book a healing session, a psychic reading, or some 1:1 support through ceremony, now would be the time to grab one of my final 5 remaining spots! There are bookings available for both in-person at .pelham and for virtual sessions. Once March begins, I’ll be stepping away from client work until April ✨

For those who have been inquiring, The Soul Beneath and Awaken Her bookings are currently closed and will reopen in April when I return. I do still have free discovery call times available to see if these packages are right for you 🌙

If it feels aligned to connect before I go, you can book through the link in my bio, or even send me a DM. I’d love to hold space for you before I head out 🤍

✨Release & Renew: An Animal Medicine Journey for the Lunar New Year ✨

The Lunar New Year is a powerful shift- a moment to pause, shed, and consciously step into what’s next 💫

This intimate shamanic healing journey is an invitation to gently close the Year of the Snake, releasing old skins, patterns, and lessons that have completed their work, and to prepare your body and spirit to enter the Year of the Horse- an energy of movement, vitality, courage, and forward momentum 🌀

Through guided shamanic journeying, ritual, and reflection, we’ll explore:
🐍 what you’re ready to release
🐎 how Horse medicine wants to move through your life
🔥 how to enter the new lunar year feeling clearer, lighter, and more grounded

🗓️ Sunday, Feb 15
⏰ 1:00–2:00 PM
📍 KW Spa @

If you’re craving a meaningful way to mark the Lunar New Year- this space is for you.

✨ Honouring Imbolc ✨

Imbolc marks the point in winter where things begin to change. We can see the light is returning, the harshest part of winter is behind us, and we’re given space to pause and prepare before momentum takes over 🌅

This season asks us to re-orient ourselves. Taking stock of what carried us through the darker months, and deciding what’s worth tending as the year unfolds 🌱

Imbolc teaches us how to transition with intention- to respond differently instead of pushing forward out of habit or pressure. There’s value here in steadiness, discernment, and small, meaningful acts of care 🕯️

However you choose to mark it, may this season support you in moving forward thoughtfully and in your own time 🕊️

Blessed Imbolc ✨

✨”Just Keep Going” Isn’t Working Anymore✨

Somewhere along the way, “just keep going” became the expectation. Even when things feel unstable, out of control, heartbreaking, or completely upside down. Even when our bodies are tight and our hearts are heavy and we don’t know where to put everything we’re carrying 🔥

We still wake up, go to work, answer messages, make plans, carry on conversations, as if nothing is happening. As if this level of grief, fear, anger, and uncertainty is something we’re meant to absorb quietly and move past 🙃

That might be common, but it isn’t normal.
And it isn’t sustainable.

There comes a moment when continuing on as usual starts to feel dishonest. When pretending you’re fine takes more energy than telling the truth, when something inside you knows it can’t keep holding all of this without it going somewhere 🤍

That moment is a threshold.

Ceremony exists for moments like this- to create a place where what’s being carried can finally be acknowledged, expressed, and moved. Where the body is allowed to respond, where the nervous system can soften instead of staying braced, where grief and fear and rage are given space instead of being stored away for later or repressed 🕯️

This is the work I’m holding right now through Threshold Ceremonies. These private, 2-hour sessions are designed for moments when something has shifted, and continuing to live like nothing is happening no longer feels possible 🌑

These sessions are slow, grounded, and intentionally held 🪶

I’m opening my books for only 4 of these Threshold Ceremonies. If you’re feeling this in your body while reading, this is exactly the kind of moment this work is for 🕊️

I don’t have the words that make what’s happening right now feel okay.

So, I’m taking things slowly and staying close to what helps me stay steady and grounded. Returning to the breath.

In moments like this, community and connection is so important. Let’s start a love chain in the comments filled with those who mean the most to you. Who brighten your day just by being them! Tag that loved one who reminds you you’re not alone 🤍

Holding anyone else who’s feeling the weight of it all lately. We’re strong as a community and we will make it through this ❤️

✨ Happy Message Monday! ✨

This week I pulled a card from the Seasons of the Witch: Imbolc oracle deck by Lorraine Anderson & Juliet Diaz. This week’s card is “Black Bear: Your existence is the resistance. All you must do is accept the power awaiting your arrival.” 🐻

The energy coming into this week feels strong and steady. There’s a deep rooted confidence here- like something in you has settled, rooted, and claimed its space. Black Bear shows up when your power is already present and working for you, whether you realize it or not 🤍

This week may bring moments where your light feels more visible. You might notice others responding to it- consciously or unconsciously. The message here isn’t to shrink or brace yourself. It’s to stay aware, grounded, and confident in who you are. Don’t back down. Black Bear energy doesn’t second-guess itself, it knows its strength and moves accordingly 🐾

There’s a calm sense of authority here too. Trust it. You don’t need to overexplain, overgive, or manage anyone else’s reactions. Stay in your body, stay connected to your instincts, and when you do, everything else tends to fall into place 🌿

💭 Where are you being asked to trust your own power a little more fully this week?

✨✨✨

✨ The Subtle Shift ✨

Have you been feeling it lately? 🤔

The way the quiet of the season allows for a deeper breath. A sense that things aren’t as tight as they were a few weeks ago. Like something is slowly beginning to widen, to clear out. The light is returning, and this is the magic of Imbolc 🌬️

Imbolc arrives in the first days of February and marks our next turning of the wheel. The light that returned at Yule is starting to feel more noticeable now. Traditionally, this was a time to take stock, tend the hearth, and make sure there was enough to carry through the rest of winter. No major shifts or momentum- just honest, practical care 🕯️

I’ve been feeling this energy lately as a gentle readiness. No urge to rush ahead, but a calm awareness of what wants tending- clearing a little space. Paying attention to what’s beginning to stir, even if it’s not ready to fully emerge yet 🌱

On February 1, I’m holding an intimate, in-person Imbolc gathering where we’ll explore this season more deeply- learning about Imbolc, working with its energy in a grounded way, and bringing it into the body through ceremony and reflection 🌿

This ceremony is an invitation to slow down, listen closely, and work intentionally with the energy of the season through ritual, guided journeywork, and shared presence ✨
