For generations, healers and medicine women have carried the imprint of martyrdom - the belief that sacrifice makes us worthy, loveable, and safe.
It’s the unconscious programming that whispers:
“Give more. Do more. Hold more. Carry more. You and your needs can wait.”
It’s inherited belief that your value is measured by how much you give to others, and how much you endure.
It’s the unconscious narrative that tells you self-care is selfish.
This Sunday, I am holding an online ceremony for healers to journey to the roots of the martyrdom wound - back to the stories, the systems, and the lineages that taught women to self-abandon, to put themselves last, and to equate suffering with devotion.
We will honour the generations of women who held entire communities together while being denied rest, acknowledgement or support - and we will give space for what they were never allowed to feel.
We will begin to dissolve subconscious contracts that keep you/us over-giving, over-responsible, and energetically depleted.
This is not about rejecting your devotion - it’s about liberating it from distortion.
This is going to be BIG.

The part of the persecution wound we rarely speak about:
the uncomfortable truth that we are all still feeding it - albeit unconsciously and unintentionally for the most part…
Not because we are unkind, but because patriarchy taught us to police each other so it no longer had to.
Until we heal the roots of this wound together, we will continue reenacting the dynamics that silenced (or worse) our ancestors.
Healing this wound - together, is what will liberate all women everywhere. Our voices, our power, our medicine.
It takes courage and bravery to do this work, and the journey asks us to meet with discomfort, but it is a great gift to yourself and all women everywhere.
If you want to be a part of this offering, please join me this Sunday. In honour of the witches murdered and those who silenced themselves to survive.

Through the sacred medicine of heart-opening ceremonial cacao, the nurturing vibrations of sound, and the transformative power of conscious breath, you’ll be guided on a journey to release stress, open your heart, and return to your natural state of peace and presence.
Join Emma for a restorative evening of connection and healing, and leave feeling lighter - freed from what no longer serves you - bringing you back into harmony with yourself and the natural rhythms of life.
What To Expect:
🤎 Ceremonial Cacao: Begin the evening by sharing a warm, heart-opening cup of ceremonial cacao. This gentle plant ally helps soften the mind and open the heart, inviting deeper emotional connection and presence.
🌬️ Guided Breathwork: Be led through a nourishing breath journey to clear stagnant energy, calm your nervous system, and awaken your inner life force.
🎶 Sound Bath: Finally, led by intuition and an open heart, Emma creates a soothing soundscape using gongs, Himalayan and crystal bowls, and koshi chimes - inviting you into a space of balance, release, and renewal.
This is for anyone longing to unwind and reconnect - through sound, heart, and soul.
An evening of deep relaxation, heart opening, and soul connection.
Drop a 🤎 if your soul is saying YES to this.

The wound of persecution runs deep.
It is the fear of being seen, of being powerful, and of expressing truth.
The fear can whisper:
“It isn’t safe”
“You’ll be judged”
“They won’t understand”
“They’ll reject you”
“They’ll laugh”
“You’ll be outcast”
At it’s heaviest, it whispers:
“you might die”
While we know the grip of the fear is illogical to where we are now, it can still weight heavy on out hearts, our voices, our nervous systems.
This is inheritance.
The unprocessed trauma of the medicine women who came before us and of own past lives as them.
And it is ready to be integrated.
This Sunday we gather in ceremony to honour the witches - to process what they could not,
and to reclaim the voice that was once silenced.
You can join this ceremony as a stand alone, or join the full Wounded Healer journey.
Details for both are linked.
With all my love, Felicity. x

We held the first ceremony of The Wounded Healer yesterday and with full transparency: I have felt all kinds of awful since!
I knew this journey was going to be big, and I expected depth (those who work with me know I go deep & encourage sitting with discomfort) but 🫣
I came out the call & felt such deep grief and wanted to eat a lot of chocolate & hide under a blanket… (both of which I did)
Not because something had “gone wrong” but because when we set the intention to heal, we are inviting what lives there, deep in our subconscious & beyond - to rise.
And the unprocessed emotions attached to the wounds of the healer are heavy. Really heavy.
We barely scratched the surface yesterday, but it didn’t feel that way at all.
I’ve received multiple messages today of huge shifts taking place already. Sisters feeling lighter than they have in years, speaking up where they would usually stay quiet, recognising life-long patterns that have confined them - and already actioning changes.
I’ve also received a lot of messages from sisters who have been feeling like me.
I’m very grateful to those who said yes to this journey - I know we are meant to be doing this work together, and while I know it’s going to be far from sunshine & rainbows, I’m looking forward to what lies ahead. A new era awaits.
I’ve also a lot of messages today asking for the replay, so I’ve added a link ^ to receive the ceremony for free.
If it moves you, you are still very welcome to join the journey. Our next ceremony is on Sunday 16th.
With love & gratitude, Felicity 🫶

There is a deep and sometimes excruciating tension most healers hold: love for their medicine, and guilt around receiving for it.
At various points in history we have been taught that devotion means self-sacrifice, and that to serve is to give endessly, without asking for anything in return.
But true devotion honours the full cycle - the giving and receiving. Because medicine flows best through the nourished and overflowing, not the the depleted.
A devoted medicine woman does it for the outcome AND her income. Her work changes lives - and she deserves to be supported by it.
This is the reclaimation and where we heal the wounds of servitude and martyrdom.
The Wounded Healer begins today.
You can join for the freee opening ceremony & experience the medicine calling you home or join the full journey in devotion to healing for the healers. It’s on pre-sale at 50% until midnight!! Freebee & full offering are linked in the bio.
Much love, Felicity x

Tomorrow, we gather in our opening ceremony.
To remember what was once forgotten & to lay to rest the narratives that kept us small or hiding.
To tend to the wounds that were never just ours.
The Wounded Healer is a journey for the healers, medicine women & space holders ready to meet the wounds of persecution, martyrdom, servitude, saviourhood & unworthiness - with the intention to balm & integrate them.
You are welcome for the free opening ceremony or if you know you are ready to jump fully in - trust that.
This is the season of restoration & tending to our roots. Chiron is in retrograde & while the work is long overdue, the timing is divine 🙏
Let’s do this, together 🔥

Healers,
… we pour our heart into holding others, and hold space as we navigate our own tears, chaos & transformation - sometimes for so long that our own healing learns to wait.
But we were never meant to hold space for others from depletion. Devoting to our own healing is perhaps the most impactful thing we can do for others, and for ourselves.
Every healing is a further activation for our gifts and supports the clarity of our channel and field, creating positive ripples in our lives & our work.
I learned the hard way with the importance of serving the self first & not getting caught up in an upgraded rat-race (albeit heart-led).
I let old paradigm belief systems sneak into my soul-work, and ultimately cause dissonance in my life, my own health, & my service.
I’ve been back & forth, round & round - until I went IN to the truth of what is unconsciously leading.
It was not pretty but I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow my capacity by tending to the roots beneath me.
I am now ready to share a journey for my fellow healers - for us to collaborate and unify as we meet our core collective wounds: persecution, servitude, saviourhood, martyrdom & unworthiness.
It is going to be special & I know the work we will do together will ripple back & forward through time.
It is deeply important & necessary work & I’d love for you to join me.
There is an option to join the first ceremony with zero exchange or obligation to continue - or to fully devote & join an extended journey through the next 7 weeks ae we meet all wounds individually. The details are linked 🫶
Any questions, let me know.
The opening ceremony is tomorrow - Sunday 9th November.
With so much love, Felicity x

Healer,
The world doesn’t need you running on empty.
It needs you resourced, rested and rooted in the belief that you deserve to be abundant in all ways.
It needs you to have an over-flow of energy, well-tended grounds beneath you & enough space to keep your own light alive & bright.
We’ve been taught to give until there’s nothing left.
But your depletion does not serve the world - your thriving does.
It is time we healers come together to redefine what it really means to be in service.
To dismantle old narratives connected to wounds of servitude & martyrdom that keep us sacrificing & unsustainable.
Our medicine is limited when in survival, and this era calls for soul-led and heart-expanding abundance, so we may do what we came to do, from a nourished space with space to truly live as well as serve.
The Wounded Healer is my offering for the healers - for us to come to come together, not to talk strategy but to sit with the wounds that silently lead us all, with the intention to heal and integrate them.
This is going to be so potent, and I’d love for you to join me. It’s currently on offer at half of the full exchange.
We begin tomorrow.

oooof! 🔥 Which slide lit you up?
(I ended on a sweet one!)
Medicine Woman, Healer, Lightworker…
What if the exhaustion you feel isn’t all yours?
What if the fear of being seen, the ache in your body, the self-doubt and the fear are not just yours, but echoes of the healers who came before you?
For generations, our ancestors were silenced, shamed and persecuted for sharing their gifts & their medicine.
They learned to hide their magic to survive.
Now those memories are rising to be healed & integrated.
You are not broken.
You are remembering.
This is the sacred & crucial work of The Wounded Healer - to meet inherited wounds of persecution, servitude, martyrdom, saviourhood & unworthiness with a gentle & yet fierce embrace - and finally lay them to rest. So we may rise - together, and do what we came to do. (I get full body shivers & belly fire as I write this - that’s how I know how powerful it is going to be!)
The journey begins this Sunday & runs each Sunday until 21st December - Solstice.
It is currently on special offer, but if it still feels too much for you right now or you are not yet sure this is the right journey for you and want to tune in a bit deeper first before committing… I’ve decided to offer the first ceremony for fr33.
You will be under no obligation to join the full journey, this is both a gift AND an invitation to go deeper if it feels right.
Ultimately, this is important work & I want as many medicine woman there as possible.
