Releasing Shame from my Story
Jan 02, 2024
I have held so much shame around my story until recently. This is so much so that I stopped telling it. My nervous system was still holding something protective around it that has now loosened and I can’t feel it now.

Who is the Good Girl?
Sep 12, 2022
The Good Girl Archetype was a survival mechanism that we created in childhood to keep us safe.

The womb is a magical space of creativity and creation. The re...

We have recently moved as a family to Backsbottom Farm and I feel at home.
Last year, I answered a post from the permaculture farmer, Rod, who is seeking a new lease of life on the farm as he nears his retirement. Personally, I can’t see this ever being a full retirement or imminent as he is wel...
Dens and Sacred Boundaries

Why do children love creating dens?

I always thought it was about having a secret space
And then it came to me about structure and boundarie...
How did I come to be an aromatherapist and a shaman?
Mar 09, 2022
It started with an instinct, a definite sense of companionship with plant and animal species from a young age. I had a deep feeling about energy and was able to sense where energy was stuck in a person or where something wasn’t theirs and had been somehow inherited or adopted. I knew when somethi...
Ethical Aromatherapy

At the centre of my work are two key ideas, the healing of people and the planet. I truly see humans as being part of the ecosystem and know that our healing is intrinsically linked with our habitat. Ideas of progress and our modern way of being has brought both us and our environment out of sync...

What is Aromatherapy?

How does shamanic aromatherapy work
Feb 11, 2022
One of the things that initially attracted me to aromatherapy and plant spirit shamanism was that it was not human. Plants are not humans yet their wisdom weaves with our own like ivy we are bound together. I try to make this my guiding principal when I am working with the energy of plants throug...

Why is Shamanic Healing So Profound?
Dec 28, 2021
Why is shamanic healing so powerful?
Why is aromatherapy so much more than just a smell?
It has much to do with the nature of truth. Not as in
“How many fingers am I holding up?”
But the kind that is in our memories. Two people can live in the same experiences, same family, same home and remember...
What does an aromatherapist and shamanic healer think about Western Medicine?
Dec 19, 2021
One of the things people often ask me is about how aromatherapy, shamanic healing or energy work fits in with the NHS and medicine in its Western sense. Isn’t it a bit woo woo? For me, they are very different fields but the more we can entwine them and see the commonality and the benefits of usin...
Bullying and Abuse

When I was teaching at school,
I remember
Articulating to children what it was.
It wasn’t one event, it was successive, targeted.
What I feel about my own experiences of bullying is that it is
PAINFULLY NORMAL
I recently had a very physiological and emotional reaction to a past event.
First my bo...

I talk a lot about rewiring your emotional circuit board. Electricity is the perfect metaphor for the transfer of energy. We take it from a source and use it to ignite something.
It is important that the source we take it from is being replenished and that we are also igniti...
