Hello my love, pleased to meet you
I am a Qualified Reiki Practitioner, Red Tent Facilitator and Breathwork Facilitator.
I started doing energy work 17 years ago, when I completed my Reiki training. But, although it brought me such joy, this slowly fell to the wayside as life gradually sucked me into the rat race, working in corporate.
From early in life I have always had a sense that something was amiss with the things society dictated I was ‘meant’ to be doing, this blueprint that was being forced upon me on the structured path that a life was to follow.
Many years later, I was a partner in a great online agency. I was really happy for a time, feeling like I had it all, but almost imperceptibly at first and then very strongly, I started feeling the pressure of being so out of alignment with my authentic self and my purpose.
I had been doing a lot of plant journey work at that time, and the Goddess began coming to me in different forms. She reminded me of my strength, as well as the power of vulnerability. She alerted me to my need to start healing and told me that my mission was to help birth the Divine Feminine back onto the planet.
Still though I chose to ignore these signs and became very good at compartmentalising. Constant illness and exhaustion were the catalysts that finally made me stop and listen to my heart. Stopping and paying attention alerted me to the fact that choosing the life I was currently living was self-abandonment. My wild woman archetype was screaming out loudly to be heard!
With that realisation, I gave up all the ‘things’ that I thought should make me happy, packed my backpack and set off on the road. I chose the path less travelled and haven’t looked back since.
I am now on a mission to follow my purpose. To find, honour and embrace the Divine Feminine in all the ways She shows up in our modern world – and to empower others to do the same.
I’m even calling myself by a new name, to really honour this shift that my life has taken, and the new me I have stepped in to.
(read more about that in my blog – How my African name found me). 🙂
Having the time to just be has helped me to re-align myself to my Authenticity and my Divinity. I soon realised that I had not been honouring the Divine Feminine within me, I had in fact been following a path laid down by toxic patriarchal standards.
I have done (and am continuously doing) – my own trauma and shadow work and have come to terms with how I had not been honouring my womb, my heart, body, my Self.
