So, what brings you here?
Maybe you’re here because you’re stuck.
Perhaps you feel like you’re doing it all wrong, or just can’t get going.
Maybe you’re unsure what’s next. What you want. What you need.
Maybe you have a specific personal, work or community issue.
It’s ok. You are really not alone.
My professional and personal life experience has proved to me that most people live life from the ‘outside in.’ How we are socialised, our schooling and work spheres, social media, all prioritise the ‘outer world’. When we prioritise our outer world, the signals for life and action we receive come from outside of ourselves, rather than the inner wisdom and balance to be found inside all of us. When these two worlds are out of alignment, a dissonance can occur. This can lead to unease, disease. My professional research over a ten- year period uncovered how to change this dissonance, and what we all need to focus on. Wherever you are now, there is a path forward to better things.
Learning to live from the inside out
I believe that self-connection is the foundation for all happiness and well-being. When we learn to live life more from the ‘inside out’, we are strengthening our self-connection and our authenticity in the world. Knowing ourselves fully allows us to truly thrive and our mental and physical health abounds. We live and work in a manner that is fully aligned with our true selves. Living this way, sparks joy. Genuine connection and meaningful relationships with ourselves and others. We make stronger, better decisions. When our inner and outer worlds come into balance and are aligned, we can truly thrive.
How do we do it?
Working as part of a small workshop group, my Inside Out program will guide you through three transformative phases. We’ll help you find tools to manage key areas of psychological wellbeing like relationships, boundaries and resilience. These are important to help you face whatever issue you bring to work together on. We’ll use Shamanic healing to explore and resource your natural energy. Lastly, we’ll help you bring your best self into the wider word, nurturing and strengthening your connection with the communities in your life. I fully believe that this full three-stage programme is where the most healing can occur, but all of these three strands of work are also available as independent work streams.
My Approach
Stage 1: Self- Connection -Psychological Wellbeing
No matter what stream of work that you come to me from, we must all start with doing our inner work. I am here to serve you to be your best self, and you are free to bring any issue to work on together.
During this work it may well be relevant to further harness the insights from my professional research of almost 100 clients, wherein I saw five themes emerging again and again. I have worked on these five themes in my own life, and with hundreds of people since, and I promise you that paying attention to these themes, in a real, practical and personal way, will guarantee you the shifts and transformation that you crave. Whatever we work on together here, we will learn to trust and listen to our inner voice, our ‘gut’.
This work is practical and empowering, resourcing you to find your own tools for these all important five domains and whatever it is you have brought to resolve.
Our dependence on being told what to think and how to live, has gotten many of us into this state of dissonance. My purpose is to guide you into your own thinking and feeling intelligences to work things out for yourself. The tools that you will learn can be used now and forever after in your life. I don’t teach you the ‘what’, I teach you the ‘how’. The HOW of self-connection is the foundation here.
Stage 2: Family Connection - Shamanic Healing
When we are born, we are born into a lineage. Into a family and community of often set and inherited patterns, traumas and toxins. We all have a role to play in this rich tapestry. No matter the family constellation, no matter the community, all will benefit from knowing our context and being offered healing. I call this phase of connection the heart stage.
As a Shamanic healer I am going to focus on your energy body. Quantum science has now proven what our ancient wisdom traditions have always known. We all have energy bodies, and these energy bodies can be subject to energy blocks, or losses.
Harnessing the wisdom of the Irish Celtic tradition, I can work with you in a variety of ways, depending on your needs. We can work directly with your energy body to restore it to its natural state of ease and flow, and/or we can work with ceremony and ritual and seek to move you forwards in this way.
Stage 3: Community Connection - Community Leadership
The better we know ourselves and understand our true nature and needs, the better we can interconnect with everything else in the world. The interconnection of community brings new self-awareness, purpose and happiness. This is where we really thrive in life. This is where true health and purpose lives.
It is my feeling that the communities, where we choose to live and work and be, are the new families of the future. And in 2024 community can mean so many things, from a handful of neighbours coming together to share childminding or go running together, to a global collective of millions with a shared passion or cause.
What are we looking for in community?
Where do we need support? Where do we need connection?
Where can we offer support to others?
Together we really can make the world a better place.
This is a phase of powerful change; the head stage. Enlightened and empowered by the work we have done in Stage 1 and 2 we can now explore how we connect with others in authentic, meaningful ways that feed both us and them. Drawing on my experience as an occupational psychologist and workplace coach, I’ll be by your side helping you identify your needs and forge those important connections.
One-to-one sessions
I prefer to work with individuals as part of a group workshop, or who come to me directly through their organisation, but occasionally I do work with clients on a one-to-one basis. Do get in touch if you would like more information.
Wellbeing retreats
My retreat workshops give everyone the chance to renew and recharge, away from the pressures and distractions of normal life. In honour of the changing seasons, and in line with the ancient Celtic festivals, four times a year I offer half-day, in person sessions.
I also offer bespoke residential retreats, as well as tailor-made retreats for organisations or community groups. These retreats offer a mix of ancient and modern methods, rituals, discussion, movement, and stillness, and are co-created in partnership with the audience in mind.
