I've been running Celtic Wheel circles for the last 10 years and each turning point always has something new to reflect to me.

It's easy to forget life is cyclical and instead fall back into pushing harder, overextending ourselves and moving further away from our own wisdom.

Yet, when you take the time to step back and anchor into the medicine of the Celtic Wheel... You're whole being breathes a sigh of relief... You remember that you can pause, reorientate, change, rest or grow... All is welcome.

The Celtic Wheel is a spiral map for moving through not only life but spiritual growth, business, creative projects, rites of passage, relationships... All parts of life.

For me, walking the Celtic Wheel:
- Guides me back to my sovereign centre

- Reminds me to trust the timing of life's unfolding

- Gives me resources to support navigating all parts of life when things get sticky

- Reminds me there is beauty in every season of life and all seasons carry a gift even if I can't see it immediately

- Enhances my relationship with Nature as my teacher

These online gatherings are created with love for women who want space to deeply reflect, receive powerful guidance from their soul, reconnect with their innate knowing and follow their unique rhythm.

Those who've gathered leave feeling nourished, supported, grounded and connected to the lighter side of life.

They often receive hidden insights just by taking this space to be held through reiki, ritual, guided meditation and soul inquiry.

Ready to receive from the medicine of Autumn Equinox at our next online gathering?

This client had been carrying a sense of soul loss for 5 years.

They were constantly fatigued, hiding away, and afraid to be in their body. They told me they wanted to feel braver, more confident, and whole again.

They reached out about Soul Retrieval and we talked through what they were experiencing and where they wanted to be.

They admitted feeling nervous as they’d tried other healings before and nothing had shifted but from speaking to me, they felt I had a different perspective on healing, working with energy and integration.

After three sessions, the changes were already showing up.

- Physically, their body and voice felt more solid.
- Emotionally, people were being drawn to them, giving them gifts, and engaging with them playfully.
- Socially, they were more present and able to enjoy time with friends without withdrawing.
- Spiritually, they told me, “The spark is back and many wonderful things are happening.'

And one of the biggest shifts?

As someone who had always done everything themselves, they found relief in feeling ‘deeply heard, seen, and understood’ (her words, not mine) and having continous support rather than trying to figure it out all alone.

That’s the power of Shamanic Healing.

It works because it’s tailored to you and address the root causes. It releases at the energetic level ( ‘blockages’, old patterns, outdated programs, negative attachments, ancestral or emotional wounds) so your natural life force can flow freely again.

And it also helps you reclaim the parts of yourself that got lost along the way through soul retrieval.

This supports you to step into a more aligned, authentic, and connected version of yourself.

As this client shared ‘each session feels magical’… there are some things that words can’t describe, it has to be experienced and shamanic healing is one of those.

If you’re ready to create momentum in your life, reconnect with yourself and reclaim your energy I look forward to holding space for you.

DM or comment 'SHAMANIC' and I'll message you options. Or if you're old school hit the link in bio 😉

Autumn Equinox reminds us that it’s safe to release, let go and come full circle.

Just like trees shed their leaves to make space for new life, we’re invited to let go of what no longer nourishes us so what’s meant for us can finally have the space to take root.

It’s easy to think that growth is about adding more but it’s often about releasing, refining and integrating.

But as you know, letting go can be hard.

You hold on out of habit, fear, or the belief that if you release something you've wasted all the energy, time or love you’ve already poured into it.

But what if letting go is asking you to lean into courage, trust, and the wisdom of composting so you can fully receive from the new beginnings that are held in Samhain.

Letting go doesn’t mean you failed, it means you’re growing, evolving and making space for what's important to you.

Sacred Completions: A shamanic ceremony for Autumn Equinox is about:

🍂 Honoring what’s complete so your soul can finally breathe and express itself

🍂 Composting what you’ve outgrown (beliefs, behaviors, or versions of you etc…) so you can attune more deeply to what matters

🍂 Reclaiming your energy back from old stories, roles, identities or events and releasing the mental and emotional weight you’ve been carrying

🍂 Choosing your next chapter intentionally as you step forward with clarity, depth, and grace.

During this intimate ceremony, you’ll be gently guided through a tapestry of tea ceremony, rituals, nature work, reflective practices and empowering integration all designed to tend to what’s ready to be released and nourish what’s next.

This ceremony is crafted from my 11 years training with and inspired by the teachings of , woven with the wisdom gifted to me by my spirit team, the earth and my ancestral lineage.

Let’s come together to honor what’s come full cycle and receive energetic closure.

📅 Date: 21st September, Sunday
⏲️ Time: 10-1pm
📍 Location: Aventine Gardens, Foxrock, Co. Dublin
🍂 Investment: 90 euro included all materials

I’d been walking the Celtic Wheel for 6 years… but I completely missed my own season.

In 2019, after ignoring the telltale signs that I was deep in burnout, I finally surrendered to an inner winter…

In this episode, I'm sharing how each turning point on the Wheel mirrors a stage of burnout from Summer's overextension to Winter's essential renewal, Samhain's sacred sacrifice and the radiance of Bealtaine.

And why your healing might need to go deeper than just "taking time off."

This episode is for you if:

☀️You’ve been telling yourself "I'll rest after this project" or "I'll slow down when things calm down,”
☀️You wear being busy as a badge of honor
☀️You’re often described as highly independent or resilient but you struggle with slowing down and accepting support
☀️You’re recovering from burnout
☀️You’re edging towards that cycle of exhaustion again

Find where you are on the wheel and what your soul is asking for.

We’ve been conditioned to only celebrate ‘visible’ success but Lughnasadh reminds us of a deeper kind of abundance.

At our online gathering last night, we met the threshold of Lughnasadh.

People arrived feeling calm, hopeful, joyful yet there was also a feeling of apprehension where you’re not quiet ready for the summer to end.

Some shared they were feeling the cocoon of winter in their lives. Others were dancing at the cusp of imbolc ready to slowly emerge and others were feeling a little lost… not sure where they were standing on the Wheel or what harvest they have to show for their efforts.

This is the beauty of cyclical living.. honoring that we're all in different seasons and cycles.

And yet, no matter where each person found themselves, Lughnasadh held deep medicine for each of them.

As we shared our bounty with each other one thing became clear….

Often the most powerful things we have to be truly grateful for are immeasurable… the feeling of love, the ability to receive support, the spark of joy, choosing to slow down, the beauty of rest over hustle, learning to trust yourself again, the company of sweet friends…

This is the gift of taking time to gather in our harvest. The gift of pausing at the turning point and honouring what we’ve grown, what we’re laying down, and what’s still to come to fruition.

Each person now carries this medicine within to sustain and guide them in the coming months.

If you’d like to honor the gifts of your harvest, come join me on this Sunday in shamanic ceremony at Foxrock, Co. Dublin.

You can read all about what Lúnasa means…
But the true magic of this seasonal threshold lives in how you experience it through your body, your emotions, your life right now.

Every time you arrive at this turning point, you are different. Your life is different. The land is different.

So instead of asking “What does Lúnasa mean?”, try asking:
✨ How is Lúnasa meeting me this year?

✨ What aspect of Lúnasa would be sweet medicine for where I am in life?

✨ What aspect of Lúnasa is lacking in myself or my life? What could be different if I embraced this quality and brought it into my being?

Let the qualities of Lúnasa nourish you from now until Autumn Equinox.

Choose one from below as your guiding light:

🌾 Honour the abundance in your life… not just the material things, but emotional, creative, soulful growth. These bountiful gifts of can sustain you during the dark winter.

🌾 Recognise the wisdom and skills you carry those gifted by your lineage, your life experience, your spirit.

🌾 Share your harvest, your joy, your gifts, your kindness and let your presence ripple outward.

🌾 Celebrate the small wins and recognise your blessings and be open to all of life

🌾 Take the time to savour your harvest. Like ripe fruit, let the juicyness of life flow into your cells.

You can absolutely ponder these reflections in your own time and sometimes, that’s exactly what’s needed.

But if you’re craving a deeper connection to this season, and would love to mark Lúnasa in community, I’ve created two soulful gatherings to support you trust what’s growing...because you can’t rush a harvest worth having.

🌾 Walk the Celtic Wheel: Lughnasadh
A nourishing online gathering combining Reiki, meditation, Celtic wisdom, ritual, and reflection to attune to your personal harvest and align with the seasonal energy.
August 7th | 7–9pm (online)

🌾 The Gifts In Your Harvest: Lúnasa Shamanic Ceremony
A sacred in-person ceremony to celebrate all you have created, survived and grown through so you can honour your journey and meet the next cycle with clarity, courage and sovereignty.

This episode honors the sacred threshold of Lughnasadh (Lúnasa), the first harvest point on the Celtic Wheel.

A time of abundance, gratitude, and reciprocity this turning point invites us to:

🌾Celebrate what has ripened,
🌾Acknowledge what's still growing, and
🌾Let go of what needs to be composted.

The first harvest is about more than what you’ve grown...it's also about how you hold it, honor your bounty and whether you can let yourself fully receive it.

This episode is for you if:
🌱 You can see your harvest but struggle to truly allow yourself to receive it fully
,🌱 You’re not sure what you've grown yet and need space to see the bigger picture
🌱 Your harvest isn't visible yet and you’re learning to trust what’s still growing and it's timing.
🌱 You measure success only by what’s visible or productive and forget about all your inner expansion
🌱 You’re ready to reassess your focus, energy and reflect on what's truly worth tending for the next cycle

Come stand with me at this sacred threshold…Let’s honor what’s here, what’s growing and what’s already enough.

Imagine being the main character in your life.

What would it feel like to write chapters worth reading where you have the courage to go after what you want, take risks, make mistakes and create a life that is meaningful to you.

This episode dives into spotting when you’ve outgrown your current story.

We talk about how the inherited roles (the people-pleaser, the overachiever, the family caretaker), outdated beliefs, and old identity scripts continue to run the show in the background and shape your choices.

And why changing your story can bring back a sense of freedom, joy and aliveness.

If you catch yourself saying “I should be happy,” “This is just who I am,” or “It’s too late to change,” this episode will challenge those beliefs and invite you to start rewriting your life from the inside out.

This isn't about burning your life down, it’s about helping you to release the roles that drain you, remember who you really are beneath the stories, and take back the role of author in your life.

This episodes is perfect for anyone navigating midlife, switching careers, going through a spiritual shift, or just ready to live life in way that nourishes you.

My offerings are designed to support you in re-orienting to your path and finding direction in times of change, transition and profound growth in life and/or business.

There are moments in life where you are being asked to grow and evolve, and there is no going back to the way things were. Some thresholds you chose and others are chosen for you.

When these initiatory moments are honored and witnessed they have the power to reshape you. It become much more than healing, it’s a portal to reclaiming your power, soul, and sovereignty.

They bring you deeper into communion with who you are and what matters most to you. You are asked to lay down patterns and identities you have held close; redefine your values, priorities and desires; and get clear on the foundations on which you build you life.

Imagine what could emerge from beneath all the conditioning, the ancestral burdens, the roles you were told to play and the stories you’ve outgrown.

What’s waiting for you to claim it…your voice, your confidence, your creativity, your souls expression?

If you’re ready to navigate the deep seasons of life and not bypass them, my offerings are here to hold you.

I offer 1:1 support and group programs, shamanic ceremonies, bespoke rites of becoming, retreats and nature-based experiences for women navigating life transformations.

If you’ve ever felt tied to an old identity even when it no longer fits, you’re not alone. This is your permission slip to rewrite the script.

The stories that carried you through your 20s and 30s, the ones built around proving yourself, keeping the peace, achieving more, or pleasing others often start to feel hollow in your 40s.

There comes a point when they no longer fit.

When you feel that pinch, that’s your invitation to evolve, shift and redefine who you are and what you want from life.

I know the feeling…

In 2008, I was living someone else’s story. I had the ‘good’ job…an accountant, a pensionable path, a secure future.

But I was drained, disconnected and going through the motions. I was living my own personal groundhog day. I remember thinking ‘there has to be more to life than this’.

I was doing what was expected of me, not what nourished me.

It wasn’t until I gave myself permission to become the main character in my life that things changed. That leap led to the beginning of the Thirsty Soul.

You don’t need to burn your whole life down. But you do need to stop letting outdated stories decide who you’re allowed to be.

What’s the story you’re telling yourself… the one you don’t realise is running the whole show?

It’s time to challenge and change it.

You have the power to rewrite your story, to break free from the constraints of the past and choose who you are becoming.

Imagine living a story that feels like you, that is aligned to your values and desires.

This is the invitation held within Reweaving Your Stories.

A one-day shamanic ceremony of ritual, soul-led inquiry, and shamanic practices for women ready to stop living by old roles, outdated expectations, or inherited stories and begin living life from your heart and soul.

Guided by our plant ally Blue Lotus, the energy of Snake and the Spirit of Fire we’ll move through a sacred journey of release, renewal, and reimagining of your stories.

📅 Sat 26th July
⏲️ 10.00am - 1.00pm
📍Ballygortagh, Summerhill, Co. Meath A83 RC65 (35 mins from Dublin)

If you’re ready to stop living by someone else’s script, join us.

As we step through the threshold of Bealtaine, this episode invites you to explore what it means to blossom.

To allow yourself open to and with life.

To let yourself meet life with pleasure and your desire with courage.

Together, we walk through these fertile energies of Bealtaine and ask:
🦊What gets in the way of your joy.
🦊What stories still whisper that your desires are too much?
🦊Whose voice taught you to shrink, dim, or wait.

We speak to the fear of letting the light in. Where the urge to stay small, to stay safe or to not step forward into what your soul is ready for.

And we remember that blossoming is never about being in the “right season” but allowing yourself to receive life exactly as you are.

This episode is a fiery call home to the body, to joy, to the aliveness that has been waiting for you to claim it.

May it awaken something in you and may you risk reaching out towards the sun in your growth.

I'd love to know what land and the area of life where you’re ready to take a risk and experience growth.

Oh sweet Bealtaine, you are a welcome balm as we cross the threshold into the brighter half of the year.

Let your senses lead the way.

Drink in the sun on your skin and warm your being into life. Let it replenish the parts of you that are weary.

Indulge in the sweet pleasures of nature and find the magic in everyday moments from the touch of your feet on the earth, to the soft scent of the blossoming flowers.

Taste life, take in all in. Dance with the growing light. Dig your fingers into the earth. Listen to the rhythmic bird song. Let your wild self be fed.

'Come out. Come out. Come out and blossom' whispers nature. 'Take a risk, a leap of faith, stretch your arms out towards life.'

Between now and Summer Solstice consider what you wish to make manifest and take the action. Without the action, it will only ever be a dream.

Many blessings on Bealtaine. 🔥
