The Nitty Gritty 

I’ve always frolicked with the mystical. Being born from Romani Gypsy heritage and the other side of my family hippies; I’d say it’s In my blood. I bought my first witchcraft book with a voucher that I’d won from school. I guess you could say I’ve always been a little ‘weird’, a bit different. But I never knew who I actually was other than the fact that I didn’t like to disappoint people. 

Life is a constant maze of choices and opportunity, everything leads to something else. I went through early life immersed in a sea of confusion; each crashing wave another conflicting message. I carried this confusion into my teenage years where the examples that had been set for me manifested into my very own toxic behaviours (yay!). I became a victim. A victim of high school bullies, I was child from the previous relationship, a burden and a scapegoat. But most importantly I was a victim of myself; I was my own worst enemy, I was crueller to myself than anyone else has ever been. I took on every self-limiting belief, every doubt, and every insult. I dubbed myself unwanted and unloved. I would research psychological illnesses and convince myself that I had them as a way of excusing my behaviours.

I reached adult hood and started collecting crystals, doing yoga, buying self-help books and searching for more. I joined a Buddhist meditation group for a while but that never stuck. Then I came across a website by ’chance’; it spoke to me like nothing ever had before and I knew that was my path - the path of the priestess. I trained for a year with the High Priestess and I’d finally begun to meet my authentic self. By the time I’d had my initiation there was a giant shift on its way for me. A shift that I’d resisted as much as I could. A lesson that had to happen in the most painful and traumatic way possible to best serve me.

To cut a long story short I’d be part of a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship without even knowing it; I realised the day after my 30th birthday when I found out he’d been gaslighting me to cover up his double (multiple actually) life. See, I thought I knew what self love was; it was only when I finally chose myself that I fully understood. 

Then one day fate, the Goddess, the universe - what ever you choose to call that creative force -sent me my twin flame (who was actually my childhood sweetheart). We had a son really quickly -everything happens for a reason - and now I spend my days looking after my two older children and getting bullied by my toddler; finding real life ways to fit spirituality into my busy, twenty first century life. 

I’m determined to help other women find themselves through shadow work and connection. And to show them that in order to become their most authentic self they must first explore every corner of themselves; to find the hidden treasures and bring them to the surface. 

I have a bit of a trigger when it comes to the influence of the online ‘spiritual community’; you know the love & light, toxic positivity crew. I feel like they can make people believe that they’re to be happy all the time which results in people not processing trauma, not feeling like they can speak up or tell people that they’re down; it invalidates emotions and existence. It also makes me feel physically sick when I see the prices of some of these courses and workshops. I understand that there’s a need to charge for our time in order to continue to give that time but as a priestess I’ve made a commitment to serve humanity the best I can and I don’t see how I can do that by excluding people that can’t afford to pay those prices. That’s why my aim is to keep any teachings, products or courses at an affordable rate. Also to make them easy to understand and as least intimidating as they can be. 

I’m a normal woman too, with a normal life. I swear, I get angry, I look like I don’t belong anywhere when I’m on the school run, I get overwhelmed, it takes me 3-5 business days to put my laundry away and thinking about what to cook every night bores the life out of me. I’m real. My life doesn’t allow for me to attend a monthly sound bath or coven meeting. But that’s fine; because I know that my connection to source is within me always. I find simple and easy ways to stay connected to myself and I want to share them with you. 

Every woman should know her inner Goddess.
