My Mother Myself?
In 1977, Nancy Friday published a book called My Mother Myself. I read it in the mid 80’s, when I was about 25 years old, and it was mind blowing. I couldn’t believe the information that I was taking in. I think those were the days when I first started to read self help books. […]
Go Back To Your Roots To See How Far You’ve Come!
I’m currently in Spain, in the Basque country, visiting a friend. I’ve come over to work with a colleague of hers, and it’s really interesting. Twenty years ago, I started my private healing practice in Salobreña Spain, in the old town, on the south coast. I spoke very little Spanish at that time. Now I’m […]
Your Parents Sins Can Be Your Greatest Gift
In the healing world we tend to focus on all of the bad stuff that we inherited from our parents; the limiting beliefs, subconscious behaviors, and repeating patterns. Yes, all of that does come from there, but we’ve also modeled a lot of really great stuff from our parents. Even if you think that your […]
Why Sharing Your Story Is So Important
ears ago, I was on a course called The Possibility of Women with Carol McCall. It was a very interesting weekend. For the first half of the workshop I was uncharacteristically nervous, even just standing up having to introduce myself, I felt self conscious and anxious. All weekend, I kept seeing little white angel feathers […]
Could Your Overwhelm Be Birth Related?
Could your overwhelm be birth related? How could overwhelm have anything to do with my birth? You might wonder, but our birth experiences are stored in our subconscious memories, not just from the time that we’re in utero, but ancestrally before that. But that’s another story. When we, as babies are born, it impacts our […]
Birth Trauma Can Crop Up Years Later
Did you know that birth trauma can crop up years later? You might think that everything was just peachy keen when you were born and that there were no problems whatsoever, but unless we really know what was going on for our mothers and our fathers or our situation when we were in utero, we […]
Your Birth Experience Can Have Lifelong Effects
Did you know that your birth experience can have lifelong effects on who you are as a person? It can impact why you tick the way you do, why you perceive things the way that you do, your ability to handle conflicts, your ability to handle stress, it could even affect your coordination or early […]
Make the Most Out of Your Daily Challenges
I’m currently in the Italian Alps with a soul sister friend I met in shaman school over 20 years ago. Each morning under the hot sunshine, we start the incline, our bodies creaking, alerting us to all the niggles surfacing from our tired limbs, the laboured breathing… Each of us thinking, “Why am I doing […]
Chunk Down Overwhelm
You know when you’ve got so much to do, you don’t do anything? Lots of women that I speak with are in a place of overwhelm and it’s kind of like fight or flight because there is just so much to do all the time. All of the facets of keeping it together, shining bright, […]
Leave Your Drama with Your Ancestors
Are you creating drama over nothing? And more importantly, are you realising that you’re doing this? Was there a lot of drama happening when you were in utero or a young baby? Are you merely responding to the drama that your parents need to have around them? I’m sure we’ve all been subjected to other […]
