Let me tell you a little of my story...

Once upon a time, I was 12 years old and inexplicably drawn to witchcraft. I even bought a book about Wicca and went into the forest near our home to make potions and cast spells. I knew deep down I was a Witch, but I never told anyone.

Due to experiences of childhood trauma, domestic violence, and living in the patriarchy, I lost my love for nature and magic.

Then one day, I felt a deep desire to reconnect with my witchy roots. Around that time, I also had a spiritual experience at the White Spring in Glastonbury. And my love for the Earth and the mystical began to rekindle.

I became secretly obsessed. I fantasized about living in a cottage in the forest and being the local village witch. I did deep dives on the intersection of mysticism and mental health. And I even went on pilgrimages to every sacred site I could find.

Over time, a grounded approach to magic as a way of life became second nature. People began asking me for guidance on how to integrate their own spiritual practices into their daily lives.

Of course, the path wasn’t without challenges. For years, I struggled with finding myself in “spiritual” communities that perpetuated toxic positivity, cultural appropriation, and spiritual bypassing, engaging in “spriritual” practices that caused harm to myself and others. But like all true love, nothing could keep me from the call of the earth-based practices of my Northern European ancestors. And that’s when I left those “spiritual” communities, reclaimed my Witch identity and committed to being on a lifelong journey of unlearning and dismantling systems of oppression.

My Witch awakening has been an initiation into using my skills to show up for myself, others and the world with more integrity. And I want to share that energy with you. That’s why I’m offering Holistic Counselling and Rites of Passage Mentorship. These are the most magical offerings I’ve ever conjured. The work I feel most passionate about. And the depth I’m trusting will have you embracing your authentic self, and building your resilience so you can use your unique gifts to contribute to collective liberation.

 

Values That Guide My Practice

My practice is grounded in core values that inform every aspect of how I operate and interact with clients:

  • Trauma-informed: I recognize and address the impacts of trauma to ensure a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.

  • Anti-oppressive: I focus on how the systems and structures that we work within influence mental health and contribute to mental health outcomes.

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming: I celebrate and affirm all identities and expressions, providing a welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals.

  • Decolonial feminism: I challenge systems of oppression, informed by a commitment to decolonial feminism.

  • Multiculturally sensitive: I'm dedicated to understanding and respecting the vast array of cultural backgrounds and experiences.

  • Sex-positive: I support a healthy outlook on sexuality, recognizing its importance in personal and relational well-being.

  • Spiritually affirming: I affirm the integral role of spirituality in personal growth, honoring the unique spiritual path of each individual.

These values are more than just words; they are commitments to action, ensuring that our work together is respectful, inclusive, and empowering. I invite you to discuss how these values resonate with your own journey during our initial consultation.
