of are delighted to offer this unique opportunity to gather in Sacred Circle on the eve of Mother's Day to explore our relationships with our own mothers. Ourselves as Daughters.

In recognising that Mother's Day can be hard and challenging for some of us, daughters who grieving their mother, or estranged from their mother, and other complex feelings where perhaps a daughter remained unmet in what she needed from her mother- we wanted to create a safe, sacred and judgement-free space where you don't have to hold back and are free to bring the fullness and complexity of your feelings.

This will be a beautiful Circle~ with Ceremony, Sharing, Sound Healing, Shamanic Journeying, Attuning and Anointing Ritual with the healing essence of Rose 🌹 and meditation alongside making our own healing amulet with Clay.

We will be connecting in deeply with our own embodied wisdom, and the elemental wisdom of this cycle and season at Spring Equinox 🌼 Spaces are limited to enable ample time for sharing and processing.

Last Thursday we piloted The Sound Sleep Sessions and the feedback was amazing.
We shared a beautiful 2 hour session of guided meditation, singing together, feeling the wonderful benefits of the tuning forks and ending with a sound bath experience.

The primary objective of the session is to bring mums to a place of deep rest and relaxation. Once we as the adult can learn to regulate our own nervous systems, we can cope much better with the demands of motherhood. And when we are calm, it will usually follow that our babies will also settle. When you, as mum, feel safe, grounded and relaxed, it signals to our babies that all is well, and their little bodies and minds can relax too. You are their anchor; their root. When you are steady and connected, they can feel safe. If we want to calm our babies, we must first tend to ourselves.

In the session, we explored and experienced the benefits of singing, calming music and the vibrations of tuning forks, Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes and drums to shift energies and calm the body and mind. These different frequencies speak to our systems on a deeply primitive level, communicating waves of healing and calm.

After the sound session, we chatted and enjoyed a warming drink and a muffin, as per all of our classes.

I will be running The Sound Sleep Sessions on the first Thursday of each month at 12.30 in my studio at Riccall Grange- YO19 6QL. There are only 6 places per week so book in early.

£15 per session PAYG.

I am really excited to annouce that I am beginning a brand new class for new mums and babies! The SOUND SLEEP SESSIONS will begin in February and are aimed at 0-6 month old babies and their mamas.

Discover the soothing power of sound to nurture calm and restful sleep for both you and your baby. In this peaceful class, mamas and their little ones come together to relax, bond, and explore the gentle magic of sound therapy. Through calming vibrations, lullabies, and guided relaxation, you’ll learn techniques to ease your baby into sleep while finding moments of rest and rejuvenation for yourself.

This class is perfect for new mamas seeking connection, comfort, and tools to find their own inner serenity for when times are tough and sleep is elusive, as well as techniques to help baby relax.

Classes last up to 2 hours and include time for chat, cuppa and cake.

Contact Katie to book into the first class on Thursday 6th February at 12.30pm. I am offering anyone who books for this first session a discounted price - £6 (taster usually £10). Beyond the taster, it is £75 for a block of 6 x 2hr classes.

Join us on Sunday 17th November 11-2.30pm for an magical journey with the fae, in circle around the fire. After calling in the fairies, we will sing, dance, spell make and craft together and you will make a beautiful piece of fairy art to take home with you - a fold out star, filled with your own art and fairy ephemera. We will share a lovely lunch together in the beautiful studio space and spend some time outside around a fire, with song and dance, bringing the fairy lights into the wintery darkness.

We’d love to welcome you to the circle!

Do not underestimate the impact of your traumatic childbirth experience on motherhood and life beyond baby’s arrival.
If you are struggling to come to terms with your traumatic birth experience, you are NOT alone. Up to 45% of women report experiencing some degree of trauma, and an estimated 30000 women per year will develop PTSD following birth.
For most women, the experience will arise directly out of the sense of disempowerment they may feel during their labour and birth, rather than the pain or duration of the birth. How we are treated- the level of respect, sensitivity, space, removal of pressure or coercion is crucial to ensuring trauma is not created. Unfortunately, for many of us, this is the opposite of what we experience, and we are falsely led to believe that we do not have choices- which legally- we alway do!!
Having another baby after such an experience can be a triggering and often terrifying experience, bringing up all the memories and fears of a previous birth, making it impossible to relax into and enjoy our pregnancy.
If this is you, or even if you aren’t planning another baby, I might be able to help. Using a range of techniques designed to bring a sense of release of past trauma and renewed empowerment to you, I can help you to make peace with your previous birth, and prepare for a transformative and truly empowered birth, if that is on the horizon, which has the potential to bring with it, healing.
Using personalised frequencies via the HEALY and MagHealy device, sound therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, as well as personally tailored Natal Hypnotherapy techniques, I can work with you to help you on the journey to healing, whether you are pregnant again or not.
Get in touch with me, Katie, for a free 20 minute consultation via Zoom, to discuss your needs and see if the approach sounds right for you.
You are so much more powerful than your experiences may have you believe. 🥰
