My Path

Medicine, Mentorship & Mastery

I am a healer of the ‘Shamanka’ Medicine Woman lineage, deeply attuned to the subtle energies that flow through people and the earth. With the skill to hold sacred and transformative space, I serve as a guide to higher truths and soul remembrance. As a former yoga teacher trainer, I nurtured the heart of my community on my land in the Sacred Valley of the White Horse, Oxfordshire. Through facilitating sweat lodges, celebratory gatherings, and immersive yoga trainings, I have supported the growth of a diverse tribe of Yoga Teachers and Shamanic Initiates - each now part of my living lineage of Sacred Space Holders.

Rooted in reverence for ancient Earth wisdom, I weave together the teachings of Shamanism, Tantra, Indigenous practices, Wicca, and Celtic traditions - bringing these energies alive through ceremony, ritual, and pilgrimage.

I call upon us all to restore balance and harmony to Mother Earth during this potent time of transformation, and invite you to dance in the celebration of life - fully, freely, and with wild devotion.

My JOURNEY

I was honoured with the name “Eagle Woman Flies High” by my beloved teacher, the late Eliana Harvey, founder of the Shamanka School of Women’s Shamanism. More recently, during a medicine naming ceremony held at summer solstice, I was gifted the name “Rising Eagle” by Standing Bear, a First Nation Elder, and my soul tribe. 

These names carry the frequency of my path - one of vision, empowerment, and deep remembrance.

As a seeker of truth, freedom is fundamental to me - as is the joy of spontaneity, the magic of celebration, and living life barefoot with a raucous laugh.

My path has not been without storms - I’ve met shadow, walked with grief, and faced fire.
I’ve journeyed through childhood wounds, the weight of unworthiness, and the bindings of social expectation.
I have shed many skins.
And yet, I rise - with deeper faith and trust each time. 

In my twenties, a profound loss, together with the initiations of motherhood and travel, became some of my greatest teachers - each offering deep lessons that carved wisdom into my bones and opened my heart wider.

Yoga has been my lifeline through it all - a sacred thread that has saved me more than once, always guiding me home to myself.

It’s been a wild ride - and it feels like I’m just getting started.

I am now here in service of life itself, holding space for others to come home to themselves.

May we rise together - with love, courage, and wild devotion.
And so it is.
