Who Am I?

“I have become the woman I have been searching for all of my life”
Suzanne Arnold

I am a Wild and Wise Woman, Weaver of Magic through Ceremony and Storytelling and a Holder of Sacred Space.

I work intuitively with the energies of the Earth Cycles and the Elements, using nature-based, heart-led and soul-centred ceremony, ritual, story and more, holding space for individuals and groups, as they realign and reconnect with the energy of their heart and soul and give birth to their authentic selves.

My Journey

As I have aged, I have unpeeled the layers of myself to get closer to, and reveal the truth of, who I am.

Those layers of experiences, labels, expectations, feelings, thoughts and more, no longer wrap around me, defining who I am but, instead, they inform who I have become.

The glorious, messy, funny, damaged, loving and tangled threads of my life, unravelling and enabling my light and love to shine through.

Like most of us, my life has not been a straight path, there have been many twists and turns, struggles and challenges along the way.

At the lowest points I have had no belief in myself, no confidence and not considered myself to be good enough, or deserving enough, to ever achieve anything of worth.

I have felt vulnerable, weak and sore from physical and emotional attacks which I felt had damaged the core of who I was. My journey through the trauma, pain, and obstacles in my life were difficult and required commitment and tenacity to move beyond and to heal and grow into the woman I am today.

I am here today having embraced, accepted, understood, forgiven and loved myself through each of those challenges and grown into the space that opened up as a result.

What I realise as I step into my 65th year on this planet is that life is too short to hold on to anything that does not resonate or serve your highest purpose on this Earth.

My first step was learning to love myself and, in so doing, I was able to release the blame, shame, what-if’s and if only’s. When we learn to accept ourselves from where we are now, we can move forward into what we want and give ourselves and the world the gift of our unleashed brilliance!

Can you feel the truth in this quote from Marianne Williamson?

”Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?”  

My Greatest Teachers

Over the years I have had many teachers, I have done courses, listened to lectures, read books and watched videos and I have learnt much from them. They include: Maya Angelou, Glennie Kindred, Dr. Jean Houston, Dr. Claire Zammit, Mac McCartney, Lee Harris, Pema Chodran, Brené Brown, Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes, to name a few.

In truth, the greatest teachers have been the people I have worked with over the past 30 years, those who walk beside me on this path and the Natural world.

They have taught me humility and compassion and how to listen with my heart open and without judgement and to speak my truth.

Everyday I receive the wisdom of Nature, knowing myself to be a reflection of Her, not separate from her. She enables me to return to my still-point and touch into the knowing of my Soul.

All that I am and I offer in these pages comes from a place of truth and love, from my Heart and my Soul to yours.
