The Story Massage course is for parents to learn a series of strokes alongside rhymes, songs and stories with their babies, toddlers and children of all ages. The Mother's Fire is for mums with children of all ages to connect with nature, around the fire in the ancient way we always have done, weaving, crafting, singing, sharing and learning in the woods.

Hi tribe,

It is Kate here. It’s time for me to step into the light again!

🌹 I started running groups over 10 years ago when I was a new mum and I absolutely love the feeling of being together in common unity… building community.
🌹 I love dancing and music, and after years of never daring to use my voice… I am not ashamed to say you may now find me singing to plants and trees without a care in the world
🌹 After I started teaching dance a decade ago, I got the bug for sharing passions and started training in everything I loved. I opened circles sharing the love for baby massage, baby yoga, story massage, babywearing, breastfeeding and babies in nature.
I also trained to be a forest school leader and mother’s firekeeper because I felt the call to hold spaces in nature.
🌹 I love learning and since I met Alice 8 years ago, I can’t get enough plant wisdom in my life. Herb club is the best club!
🌹 I love being in circle with women and the feeling of raising each other up. I want all women to know that there is someone rooting for them.
🌹 I am ready to step up to support more women this year and am currently on a deep dive journey aligning to my purpose
🌹 I am not keen on being on camera and this is me stepping out of my comfort zone to see what magick lies the other side of fear.

I am so grateful that you are all here - anything you would like to ask me? ✨

🌸 Beltane 🌸

This time of rising energy, this portal of light, this gateway for transformation has been huge, for me personally.

I am still integrating all of the elements and experiences from this time. I spent the day of 1st May on my own sacred pilgrimage, starting with washing my face in the morning dew in my garden and then trusting the call to journey to the magic of the bluebell woods, then to gather offering water from the local spring and to invite plant friends to journey with me. I pulled a card in the woods and it asked, “how are you being called to step up and lead?”

As I reflected on the answer to this and my unfolding path, I met first the May Tree herself, but in bright pink blossom. My current favourite hue, I gathered her small flowers as I sang the hawthorn song and filled a little basket. I thought about how much I love this tree. And what she teaches me. A man stopped to ask me what I was doing and then proceeded to say how happy it made him seeing me forage and sing.

I carried on my journey to a florist to buy some raffia to weave for crowns. She asked me what the wild flowers were in my basket and when I explained about the May tree and Beltane she asked me where she could find this special tree.

The sweet medicine of the hawthorn was finding its way into new hearts even from my basket. As I gathered in circle that evening with the beautiful women who meet here, we foraged white hawthorn blossoms together and then wove our raffia crowns to fill with hawthorn blossoms as we sipped on fresh lilac tea. We were all crowned goddesses by the end of Beltane night.

I have been pondering the Beltane Bluebell question for this whole window of Beltane and am getting closer to an emerging answer…

I think it’s about bringing people into connection. To themselves. To each other. To their children. To the plants and trees. To the sacred cyclical wisdom of life. My heart is here for it 🩷

🌺 Summer circles 🌺

These circles are for any women who want to feel part of a supportive and strong sisterhood. You can find your tribe here.

We gather together with a theme of seasonal celebration. There is the chance for gentle crafting, pulling oracle cards, tuning in, reflecting and chatting.

My intention is for this circle to be nourishing and calm, a space to be with other women and to express yourself if you so wish, with a craft that can keep your hands engaged in creative flow whether you feel like chatting, listening or just being... it is all welcome here.

We meet for our Summer circles in Blackham by candle light on:
Thursday 5 June 7-9pm
Thursday 10 July 7-9pm
£40 for the two circles including organic refreshments (free parking on site)

Only two spaces left, please get in touch to book.
Blessed be ⭕️

🌸 Spring circles 🌸

We circled up under the full moon with the rising energy of Spring emerging in all of us after a long wintering of deep rest.

We celebrated the Spring Equinox welcoming this regular rhythm of meeting, the balance of light and dark and the impetus to start afresh. It was glorious.

I brought in some tools from my study with and we discussed the cyclical wisdom showing up in our lives, you can see her altar cards in the middle of our circle here.

The circle is fully booked for this season and we next gather to celebrate Beltane on 1 May.

If you wish to join our summer season of circles, meeting from June drop me a message now.

Blessed be and blessed do Goddesses ✨

⭕️ Goddess circle ⭕️

Today I am feeling the moment of rising energy for the emergence. It’s been a long wintering and it’s time to allow the roots to deepen and shoots to appear.

Our circle has kept me grounded and inspired for years and I love what it unveils in us. It feels so powerful to gather as women and honour our inner Goddess through the seasons. Seasons of life. Seasons of the earth. Cycles of the sun. Cycles of the moon. Cycles of the divine feminine.

We return with the energy of the Spring Equinox on Thursday 13 March 7-9pm and then we gather again in our circle on Thursday 1 May 7-9pm for Beltaine.

The investment is £40 for the 2 spring circles and includes organic chocolate and herbal tea offerings.

We meet by candlelight and in the softness of support for each other. We always have a hand craft, oracle decks, a central nature altar and a chance to speak and be heard. We witness and honour exactly where we are in that moment. This is a chance to exhale and tune in to you.

Please be in touch if you would like to join us in Blackham. This circle is a sacred space which helps us connect to ourselves, each other and the cycles of wisdom.

Blessed be and blessed do💖

💞 Women’s Nurture Afternoon with Soundbath 💞

We will gather as women to nourish ourselves as we descend into the darker part of the year, to remind ourselves to rest and replenish to keep our own light bright. You are invited to join us for these few luxurious hours, that are, of course, so deeply deserved.

You can expect organic herbal tea on tap and raw chocolate treats as you let your hands rekindle their creative spark with a mindful craft. We will be using modelling beeswax to decorate a beautiful candle to take home with you, and this can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish.There is no expectation to be ‘arty’ - this is simply an invitation to be creative, to move out of your head and into your body.

For a deeply restorative practice for our bodies and minds, we will finish our afternoon together with a soundbath, receiving the healing vibrations and frequencies of many wonderful instruments from a qualified sound healer.

A true honouring of ourselves, reaching deep into our cells.

Please bring:
A yoga mat / blanket / cushion to get really cosy for the soundbath

Investment:
£50 per woman including your organic refreshments and all craft materials

Where:
Private studio in Blackham

🏵️ Women’s Circle 🏵️

This summer for the first time I am offering a women’s circle as a stand alone evening for any women hearing the call to gather.

Usually I run my women’s circle in seasons of 3/4 circles, so this is a perfect opportunity for anyone who wants to get a sense of the space and how I hold it before committing to a season.

We will meet on Wednesday 31 July 7-9pm in a cosy studio in Blackham, around an altar inspired by nature (like the one pictured), by candle light.

We will celebrate together the festival of Lammas / Lughnasadh, which falls on 1 August - the first harvest festival of the year and a chance to pause and reflect on what we are reaping from what we have sown. A moment to let ourselves be nourished.

Expect cushions, candles and a chance to be heard.

Please message me to book, investment is £25 per woman and includes organic herbal tea and raw chocolate ✨

🌼 Spring Equinox 🌼

A beautiful new constellation of women formed a circle at this time of the Spring Equinox… to celebrate, create, speak and be heard.

We gathered around a Spring flower circle, full of natural beauty and surrounded by the incredible artwork of local artist Cara , whose spring flower and tree leaf decks brought in extra magick.

We had a spring flower meditation and then those who felt called began creative work on their new flower presses by the light and inspiration of Brigid’s flame, carried over from her sacred place in Ireland as a gift from the wonderful Anna Richardson.

Some women chose to learn more about a plant calling them, waving at them from their surroundings, and some chose to relax quietly chatting and making connections.

We drank fresh nettle and bramble leaf tip tea, connecting with the earth in our senses and our bellies. We finished with organic raw chocolate and another round of gratitudes. Feeling very full from this gorgeous gathering of sisters in circle ⭕️

Until we meet again at Beltaine, blessed be 🌸

🏵️ Women’s Circle 🏵️

As the earth is slowly starting to wake up, so too are we… slowly emerging from our winter’s rest.

Preparing to gather again in our circle to celebrate the seasons, ourselves and each other.

We will meet to welcome in the balance of Spring Equinox, where light and dark are equal, then we will celebrate the arrival of summer at Beltane and this year’s longest day at Summer Solstice.

We have space for two more women to join us in this cosy space, held lovingly and supportively for women who feel called to sit in circle… to share their stories, to craft, to tune into their inner cycles as we notice the cycles of the seasons we are part of in nature.

We will meet on Wednesdays 7-9pm in a candlelit studio.

Please message me if one of the spaces is calling you, we don’t often have spaces to open up so if Spring is revealing some extra energy stirring in your bones, maybe this is the right time for you?

🌳 Solstice blessings 🌳

May you all find peace in the dark stillness of this longest night. May your candles burn brightly reminding you that the light is slowly returning. May you remember to tend your inner spark.

As the Oak King reclaims his reign over the Holly King, returning us to light, may you find the strength you need this season.

I am unplugging now for a couple of weeks after a very busy year. Ready to honour the stillness, silence and softness of the dark.

Feeling so grateful for all of you who have been with my at circles and courses this year. Thank you for being here.

Midwinter cheer to you all from this hearth to yours 🔥

The Blissful Bébé way

Blissful Bébé offers baby massage, baby yoga and story massage courses for parents. This is a space to bond with your baby, relax together and nourish your needs. My aim is to to help spread the joy, love and beauty of this quality time spent relaxing together, getting to really read baby’s cues and enjoying plenty of skin-to-skin. The immediate benefits of positive touch can include deepening the bonding process, helping with wind and colic as well as promoting deep sleep. All of my courses are a fabulous way for parents to empower themselves, to learn invaluable skills, to help reduce PND and to meet other parents to help build their own support network.

I trained with the International Association of Infant Massage in 2016, was awarded the Best Practice Award for Story Massage in 2019 and trained with Birthlight in 2019. I am also a trained Breastfeeding Peer Supporter volunteer since 2017.
