Working with Women
Much of my private practice has been dedicated to working with women, exploring identity and honouring life transitions. Menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, miscarriage, birth, perimenopause and menopause are all transitions and rights of passage that are deserving of attention.
Changes within our bodies hold great significance when it comes to our well-being and identity. Whether or not we have children (through choice or other circumstances) or have had medical procedures (such as a hysterectomy), our bodies and the changes we experience are deeply connected to our sense of self.
We often need to acknowledge, explore, and sometimes forgive who we were before, so we can truly embrace who we are now. Through the alchemy of our work together we will journey to the past and intentionally step forwards towards your future.
Pivotal Moments
Beginnings and endings, or the birth/death cycle, are ever-present in life. This can include the birth of a new career or the death of a significant relationship.
​
When pivotal moments in our lives are left unattended, the ways we respond to ourselves and others can be consciously or unconsciously impacted, leading to feelings of disconnection and unease. Low self-worth, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms can all manifest as a result.
​
You may know how you’re feeling and why, or you may need some help figuring out what’s going on. Whatever your circumstances, I offer a safe, warm, and accepting space where you can process your experience at a pace that suits you.
Grief and Ancestral Work
Grief and ancestral work are often intertwined with the process of understanding our identity. We grieve not only what we’ve had and lost but also what we wish we had. This can relate to aspects of our health, relationships, or other significant experiences.
​
Exploring childhood can reveal inherited wounds. Though challenging, illuminating these areas can offer valuable insights into your patterns and behaviors, making space for growth and change.
​
The goal of this work is to create space for all parts of yourself—both past and present—to be honored and witnessed. When we lower our masks and let go of the 'should's', we reconnect with the power and potential within us, allowing ourselves to truly be who we are.
