Rooted in Feminine Principles
We all come from woman, from a mother, and yet woman and mother in today’s sense of the word have become so mired in a sense of who we ‘should’ be rather than who we truly are. This systematic conditioning through the generations has created a fracture in the female psyche that makes us question who we are as "women," "mothers," "daughters," "partners," and "caretakers" as we navigate the complex relationships of intimacy, family, work and home.
As women, we are not linear, we are cyclical and have cycles and seasons that require a different rhythm as our energy ebbs and flows. Tapping into this rich inner landscape we give ourselves permission to listen, sense and receive the wisdom already within us and reclaim the courage, strength and trust to live, be and relate from our rooted self. Unapologetically and without fear.
This is where Shadow Work for Women comes in.
Shadow Work is not my work, but OUR work, the work of all women, a physical, emotional, and spiritual journey back home to self, past, present and future across lands, cultures and generations as we unravel and reweave the threads that connect us all.
The more we commit to this profound journey, the more we realise it goes beyond healing, and becomes a radical change in perception, a shift in consciousness and a rise in heart-centred awareness of how to be in right relationship with the self, others and Mother Earth.
It's the medicine needed to change the world from the inside out for ourselves, those who walk among us, those we love and the next generations following in our wake.
My mission is to hold sacred space and guide women back to the innate wisdom and power found in their inner cauldron through shadow work, healing, and self-discovery within a framework of integrity and duty of care.
KEY BENEFITS: Through my programs and resources, you'll:
Remember and reconnect with your authentic self
Reclaim and restore your unique magic, power and gifts
Heal and integrate past wounding, trauma and conditioning
Embrace your cyclical nature as a source of wellbeing and vitality
Live a more fulfilling and empowered life where your needs and boundaries, pleasure and joy are your foundation blocks
Who is at the heart of ‘woman’ and ‘mother’, has been the centre of my attention for as long as I can remember.
Having been born to a single 19-yr-old young woman in the 70’s, who suffered greatly bringing me into the world, and had to face the uncompromising prejudice of her status in the eyes of society and the health professionals who were supposed to offer care and support for us both.
Two years later, she would choose to give me up for adoption, a decision which created a rupture in her relationship with her own mother, my maternal grandmother, who fought for legal custody of me to save me from a life in care.
→ What behaviour and belief system drove this decision for both women, as individuals as part of the collective?
→ What made one woman choose a different life separate from her child, while another dedicated her whole life to me?
→ Who am I between these two generations of the motherline?
→ How do I reveal, heal and integrate the internal conflicts that arose for me as a woman and a mother within them?
These have been questions that have fuelled my curiosity and research to understand the hidden threads that connect us all, shaping our decisions and beliefs and defining the relationship we have with ourselves and others, as women, as mothers, as daughters, partners and caretakers.
This is a journey that has taken me through:
♡ A BA/BSc in Psychology and Women’s Studies
♡ Research into Esoteric Goddess Wisdom and Matriarchal Cultures
♡ An Intensive 3-yr Shamanic Practitioner Training
♡ Shamanic Specialisation Programmes focused on advanced land and ancestral healing
♡ Experiential path of Homoeopathy, Psychedelics and Astrology
♡ Masters in Spirituality & Transpersonal Psychology (2025) focusing on academic and scientific research into the female psyche.
I’m half Irish, half English, a walker between the two worlds held within my spiritual lineage rooted in the Celtic Tradition through which I have experienced many initiations, pilgrimages, and awakenings on the lands of my ancestors.
I live in Puglia, Italy, with my partner of 25+ years and Rex, the cat. I’ve experienced all the complexities of womanhood through love and family, menstruation and menopause, pregnancy and abortion, separation and divorce, illness, accidents and death.
As a writer and podcaster at The Feminine Principle, I often share my own stories of unravelling and reweaving in the shadow realms. I’m an Aquarian Sun, Pisces Moon, and Scorpio Rising, which reflects my unique ability to tap into the hidden worlds of the female psyche while maintaining a strong duty of care for all those I guide.
Shadow Work for Women is the gift we give ourselves to heal and integrate what has been fragmented.
It’s the journey back home to self, past, present, and future guided by a commitment to safety and responsibility.
It’s a complete and radical change in perception, a shift in consciousness, and a rise in heart-centered awareness.
It's the medicine needed to change the world from the inside out.
Supporting women to unlock the hidden side of their female psyche, breaking free from the ghosts from their past, limiting beliefs, behaviours and unconscious patterns to create a life they love.
