From London to India, from tantra to conscious community, from Shamanism to Birth Keeping… how I came to walk this path of service
Of all the titles I could choose for myself, ‘Medicine Woman’ is the one that most resonates.
I feel a deep connection to my ancestors through these words - the whispers of ancient wisdom from the women who’ve walked before me, who gathered the community, sat in sacred circle around the fire, tended the lands, healed the village, and brought the next generations safely onto the Earth.
Women, we are rising!
I know you feel it too, or you wouldn’t be reading this.
I believe that we all have our own unique medicine to bring to the world, and women now are being called to remember and to share our innate embodied wisdom and gifts, guided by the Earth, Her elements, the natural cycles and seasons, and our deep knowing of how to create a fairer, more abundant, and more joyful world.
For the first almost three decades of my life I pretty much followed the status quo. I did well at school, came top of my year at university, then got a ‘real job’ in media agencies in central London.
I was an adventurer at heart though, dreaming of travelling to far away lands, lazy days on the beach and wild nights on the dance floor. I wasn’t exactly excited about growing up and fitting into society.
I could see the toxicity from a young age - the people pleasing and pretense, the burn out and suppressed emotions, the fear, dogmas and control. I was ungrounded and anxious, though I didn’t realise it, I was so disconnected from my body and emotions.
Around my Saturn Return, I quit my well-paid media job and booked a one-way flight to India. I felt called by something higher than me - a power I didn’t know how to name - but that didn’t feel like ‘little me’, to go and find myself, beyond the expectations of family and society.
There had to be something more to this life than sleep, eat, work, repeat. And I was about to find out…
India blew my heart and mind open. I had my first kundalini awakening in the Himalayas, which changed the course of my life forever. I saw the interconnectedness of all life, the multi-dimensionality of the universe - and felt, finally, that I had a purpose here - to help humanity awaken to our highest potential.
What followed was nearly a decade of free-spirited adventures in India, Nepal, Central and South America, Bulgaria, Ibiza and Portugal, while immersing myself in yoga, meditation, tantra, massage, reiki, shamanism, traditional birth keeping and plant medicine.
The journey has been full of highs and lows: many dark nights of the soul, some brutal wake-up calls, and lots of inner child healing, which tested my faith and resilience… Along with the most beautiful, soul-expanding journeys, meeting soul tribe and building conscious communities around the world.
It’s been a wild ride.
As I enter my 40’s I am more centred in myself than ever before. I have cultivated a deep relationship of self-love and trust in divine timing. I continue to follow the calls from Spirit to co-create a beautiful new world and share my work where I’m needed.
I have received support and guidance from some incredible mentors and guides while learning day-by-day how to follow my own inner guidance system.
My highest vision is to create a healing space in nature where people can remember their wild, primal nature, drop fully into their bodies, connect with each other beyond ego, and come back into right relationship with the earth. It’s happening. It’s already here.
