I am here to serve women and men to connect with their essence and to trust the whisper of their soul.
A wisdom path that leads to the centre of your being to unlock the mystery within. It is a commitment to awaken, bringing presence, awareness, and compassion to your soul’s journey. It is a recognition that in your humanness you are also a vessel of divine light.
Working with astrology, mythology, archetypes, cycles, and seasons, Gnostic Woman provides tools for self-exploration, and reflexive enquiry.
This path goes beyond the ego identified mind to the soul’s essence. If soul is not fully embodied, if it has been fragmented, or if parts have been lost or constricted due to trauma, or other experiences, we need more than a purely mental, or medical approach to recovery.
Gnostic Woman works with astrology, shamanism, and breathwork, for a holistic, and feminine-centred perspective of healing and growth.
In Vezelay Basilica, also known as Vezelay Abbey or Basilique St-Madeleine.
Some of the key connections and pivotal experiences that influenced my work:
2005: My shamanic training began with Jonathan Horowitz, co-founder of The Scandinavian Centre for Shamanic Studies. I have been training and deepening into my shamanic practice ever since. I work with core shamanism rather than a particular lineage.
2008- 2009: Devon School of Shiatsu and Macrobiotic Cooking- 1 Year Foundational training in shiatsu.
2009: Person-Centred Counselling. Level 3 Certificate.
Relational Presence and Breathwork with Andy and Ella Portman on the “Barefoot Practitioner” training.
I spent 2 months walking the Camino Santiago from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Cape Finisterre in Galicia on the west coast of Spain. My quest was to find the divine feminine- I was looking for “The Magdalene”. What I discovered was a vision of the ancient pathways connected by the sacred wells.
2010-2011: A year living and working in the Findhorn community in the northeast of Scotland.
2011-2012: A year living in Ecuador, followed by solo travels in Peru and Bolivia which took me to the Island of the Moon on Lake Titicaca, where I was initiated into working with the lunar cycles. In 2019 I returned to the Island of the Moon to uncover another layer… I am planning a third trip.
2012: Returned to Edinburgh to complete a previous training with the Edinburgh School of Shamanism under the tuition of Claudia Goncalves and Mark Halliday. I graduated as a certified Shamanic Practitioner, which allowed me to work in clinics.
My Year in Red….
2013- 2014: 1-year Sacred Sexual Priestess training with Katinka Soetens as a “Priestess of Rhiannon”.
2014-2015: Trained with John Wadsworth of Kairos Astrology.
2015-2018: Master’s degree in Myth, Cosmology, and the Sacred with Dr. Angela Voss, and Geoffrey Cornelius from Canterbury Christ Church university. I studied the work of Barbara Tedlock, Carl Jung, James Hillman, and many thinkers in the field of consciousness, psycho-spiritual studies, shamanism, ancient initiatory practices and their inherent myths.
Working with the mythic realms continues to be a strong influence in both my astrology and shamanic practice.
The Red Death: Menstruation as a Symbol of Renewal is the title of my dissertation for which I gained a distinction from Canterbury Christ Church University in 2017.
2016- 2020: I held practice at Concorde House Clinic in Canterbury where I ran Women’s Moon Lodge, mixed Sun/Moon Lodge, and Wheel of the Year gatherings. I also worked with individual clients on a one-to-one basis.
2020- the present day: Online astrology consultations, shamanic sessions, and astro-shamanic sessions.
2025: Offering workshops, teachings, and individual sessions from the Arthur Conan Doyle Centre in Edinburgh, and beyond.
I offer guidance to access your inner wisdom, connect with your inner shaman, physician, wise-woman, or man, and help you to create an authentic life. I do this by supporting you to access your inner authority and find the answers within.
