We are the product of dozens of bloodlines, of hundreds of families, of thousands of ancestors. We are their flower and their fruit, their hope and their joy. We are their ultimate expression in the world.

The ancestors love us. They want us to thrive. To release their old stories, patterns, and pain, and fulfil our true life’s purpose. Transformation lives in our bloodline, one of the best gifts of being human.

Transformation can be the journey of a lifetime. But it can also be as easy as learning to connect with the well ones and ask for help.

There are many paths to connect to the ancestors. DM me and I’ll share a few of my favourite ways.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?
—Mary Oliver

My life has taken me from the rural foothills of Northern California to the bustling streets of London to the calm vistas of Switzerland. My journey of self-healing and spiritual growth has taken me even further, from feeling burdened with anxiety and depression to discovering and living my life's true purpose. It has been an amazing journey so far!

Where has your life taken you?

As the world tilts toward the longest night, we step into the sacred embrace of Winter Solstice, a time of profound significance in the shamanic realm.

For the my Celtic ancestors and many other ancient cultures, Winter Solstice marked the rebirth of the sun, symbolizing hope, renewal, and the cyclical nature of life. It was a moment when the veil between worlds thinned, allowing easier connection with ancestral spirits and a deeper communion with nature spirits. Winter Solstice symbolized the turning point in the cosmic wheel—a moment when darkness gives way to light, and the promise of renewal unfolds. The spirits of the land were honored, and fires were kindled to invite the returning sun and celebrate the interconnectedness of all life.

In shamanic understanding, Winter Solstice represents an inner journey—a time to turn inward, much like the hibernating Earth. The darkness becomes a sacred space for reflection, introspection, and the seeding of intentions for the coming year.

As we honour the Solstice, let's attune ourselves to the season's energy. Light a candle to symbolize the returning light, take time to connect with the spirits of the land and of your ancestors, and feel the promise of spring in the stillness of winter. The solstice serves as a bridge between the old and the new, urging us to journey within, release the old, and welcome the emerging light of transformation.

I've been silent for nearly a month due to a long illness. It wasn't fun!

But in the tapestry of shamanic understanding, illness can be not just a physical struggle but a sacred pilgrimage of the spirit.

Having weathered the storm, I recognize that this period of dis-ease aligns with the threads of initiation woven during my transformative experience in England in October.

Illness, from a shamanic perspective, can serve as a spiritual wake-up call, urging us to realign with our true selves. Through the discomfort, I've found a deeper connection to my inner essence, a rebirth of spirit. 🌈

As I step back into the world, I carry the lessons of this journey with me — an understanding that even in the depths of illness, an opportunity exists for profound growth and self-discovery.

Here's to embracing all our lessons, even the uncomfortable ones! ❤‍🩹

🌟 Happy Solar Samhain! 🍂

Today marks the exact midpoint between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice, a time of ancient celebration dating back 2,000 years to Celtic Ireland. The Ancient Celts had a deep understanding of the sky and Samhain would have been celebrated around this date rather than at the end of October.

Known as the Samhain Festival or the Festival of Peace, this day ushers in the transition from autumn to winter, from action to rest. It's a moment for reflection and preparation, as we lay the groundwork for the next chapter in the wheel of the year.

If you feel inspired, light a candle to honour your well ancestors and guides, letting their wisdom flow through you. This connection, spanning both ancestral and soul lineages, enriches our lives and invites celebration, gratitude, and the release of the old. You don't have to know your ancestors or guides to do this, just open your heart. 💖

This beautiful double rainbow welcomed me back to Switzerland the other day after two challenging but ultimately transformative weeks doing intense shamanic work in England .

I have a personal connection to rainbows since I was named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow. Iris served as a divine messenger between the gods and humanity and the rainbow symbolized the connection between the mortal realm and the divine. When a rainbow appeared in the sky, it was seen as a bridge that allowed communication between the two realms.

As a shaman I bridge the two realms constantly. It's my life's purpose and greatest joy, but it's challenging at times. Seeing a rainbow always reminds me of the beauty of this path 🌈

On October 14, the Libra New Moon Solar Eclipse graces the sky, marking the second Eclipse in the transformative Aries-Libra cycle unfolding over the coming years. 🌌 While the bigger picture of this cycle might still be evolving, trust in the journey. This Eclipse serves as a cosmic reset button, encouraging introspection and the release of past grievances, providing an opportunity to upgrade and evolve.

In the dance of Libra, balance is key. ⚖ Relationships, power dynamics, and our inner worlds are highlighted. Amidst the potent Pluto energy, we delve deep, confronting shadows and embracing wounds with the help of Chiron, the wounded healer. It's an intense but transformative process, guiding us toward profound healing, acceptance, and harmony. ✨

This Eclipse invites us to find collaboration without compromising our truths, paving the way for stronger relationships and self-acceptance. While it might feel intense, it's an opportunity to assert our needs and restore balance. Embrace this cosmic energy, for within its intensity lies the potential for profound peace and self-discovery. 💖

In Navajo tradition, a solar eclipse symbolizes a fresh start. The Navajo term for a solar eclipse, jóhonaa'éí daaztsą́, translates to "the death of the sun" in Navajo Traditional Teachings. During this event, many Navajo individuals observe rituals indoors, fasting and praying. The sun's return signifies a rebirth, an important time to make resolutions and set intentions.

The eclipse energy remains active for several days after the event. Why not take time to work with the cosmic energy and look at what is needed in your life? What resolutions and intentions will serve you in the year to come?

This is an especially powerful eclipse for me because it's my birthday! 🎇

🌗 Embrace the Equilux: A Time for Balance 🌗

The equinox is the change from summer to autumn, but the equilux is when the day and night are of equal length. This varies a little depending on your latitude, but where I am in Switzerland it's on 26 September this year.

As we step into that magical moment when day and night find perfect equilibrium, let's take a pause and reflect on the balance in our own lives. 🌞🌚

Just like the sun and moon share the sky in harmony, it's the ideal time for us to assess what might be out of balance in our own worlds. Are you neglecting self-care? Overworking? Or perhaps you've been yearning for more time with loved ones?

The Equilux serves as a gentle reminder that balance isn't about perfection; it's about recognizing the areas that need our attention and releasing that which isn't necessary. 🌱✨

Let's embrace this moment to realign, set intentions, and make small adjustments toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

For me that means more time with my husband and a new fitness regime. 💕

Share your thoughts on what you'd like to rebalance in your life during this Equilux season! 🌗

Mantra for the Super Blue Moon in Pisces: Tonight, I honour myself and my soul's journey. I release any energy that is holding me back and prepare myself for the new energy to come. I give thanks for all that I am. 💙

Blue moons (the second full moon in a calendar month) are rare and especially powerful. Full moons are always times of release but with a blue moon, this release is magnified. It's connected to what was happening during the first full moon of the month.

For me, that was my time in Delphi. My release was many lifetimes in coming and it's still reverberating. On the night of the Super Blue Moon, I give thanks for this amazing experience. I'm very grateful.
