I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless.
I will not fix you, for you are not broken.
I will not heal you, for I see you in your wholeness.
I will walk with you through the darkness as you remember your light.
~ Medicine Woman’s Prayer ~
Connecting you with your natural cycles and inner wisdom throughout life's journey. Honouring and witnessing you as you journey through life's rhythms.
Find your flow and feel connected, vibrant and confident in mind, body and soul, through a rich tapestry of holistic offerings, all lovingly crafted to support you during transitional hormonal phases.
So whether you are navigating your way through cyclical issues, in your Mother phase of conception, pregnancy and birth, or transitioning through perimenopause to your wisdom years, I'm here with you, for all life's journeys.
I'm Nicola, a wife, mother to 5 and Shamanic Womb Witch.
I walk alongside women as they journey home to themselves, connecting with their cycles, the cycles of nature and their sacred feminine wisdom.
I understand that when you find yourself here, it's because you've been carrying so much, and this time, this space, is for you to begin to unfurl, to soften and to release. I also know that, you'll want to know that you're held in a space of knowledge, experience and authenticity, so whilst this journey is about you, here's a little about me to help you decide if we are a good fit for your journey.
Graduating in 2001 with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, I started my wellness career as the Service Manager of a multidisciplinary community mental health charity. I was responsible for managing the service, and a team of staff from across a wide range of disciplines, including mental health nurses, support workers, and complementary therapists. I ran the local branch out of hours mental health crisis line for a nation mental health charity and saw and heard first hand, the impact of trauma on people's physical, emotional and energetic wellbeing. I saw people across inpatient , secure units, and within the community.
What struck me most was the difference that clients felt after their holistic treatments. The seed was planted.
During that time I trained as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Life Coach and NLP practitioner, again astonished at the shifts I witnessed in clients as they released old patterns of behaviour.
The world of mental health services was exhausting and, in 2003-2004 I took the opportunity to fulfill a life's dream and travel solo. I visited 15 countries over 18 months, a had the privilege of spending time in some of the most remote and relatively untouched communities - places where hands on therapy and ritual, ceremonial practices were a part of daily culture, knowledge and wisdom passed down from generation to generation through the maternal lineage.
The fire within me had been lit and over the course of the next few years, I began to grow my offerings.
As my interest grew, and my own healing journey continued I added:
Anatomy & Physiology
Swedish Massage
Reflexology
Indian Head Massage
Aromatherapy
Crystal Healing
Ear Candling
Reiki Master Teacher
and more
But the real shift in me (and of course reflected through the business) was yet to come:
My rite of passage through pregnancy, birth and Motherhood.
It made perfect sense that I'd take a holistic approach to these sacred rites of passage, enjoying pregnancy massage, pregnancy yoga, hypnobirthing, pregnancy holistic therapies for myself, relishing in the sacred rites of pregnancy, birth and motherhood - and of course wanting to share that with women like myself - women like you, and so over the next 6 or so years as my family grew, so too did my offerings and I trained in:
Pregnancy massage & aromatherapy
Rebozo massage
Closing the Bones ritual
Hypnobirthing
Doula support
Pre & postnatal Yoga
Baby massage
Birth Trauma Resolution Therapy
Each new course brining a new level of learning about not only the female anatomy & physiology, but how amazing and sacred women are.
Over the course of the last 11 years, I've brought the offerings together and continued my professional development, qualifying as a yoga teacher (hatha, restorative, yin yoga & menopause yoga) along with sound healing.
Honouring the sacred temple and perhaps most notably my continued dedication to Goddess having trained and initiated as A Priestess of the Lunar Womb, training in the temple arts of yoni steaming & massage, womb massage, womb Reiki and Cacao and Shamanic journeying. My story continues as I grow and evolve and I'm now on a 13 moon spiral as an apprentice Priestess of the Sanctuary of Sophia.
So please know that when you come here, these offerings are born from a lived personal experience, followed though with learning, qualification and integration.
I can't wait to see where this journey takes me...
I wouldn't be where I am today without the tutelage and lineage of some amazing women. Over the course of the past two decades, there have been many. In particular I'd like to give mention to Trudi Holden - Wild Samsara, my Reiki Master, Angie Twydall - The Sanctuary of Sophia, Bliss Magdelena - Stroud Goddess Temple & The Lunar Womb Temple, Sally Parkes Women's Yoga and Natalie ReBastet of Palm & Bowl.
And of course to all of the women who have entrusted me to walk this path alongside them, they have been my greatest teachers of all.
Vibrant, free spirited and fizzing with potential, walk with me to connect with your inner cyclical wellness, natural rhythms and fertile ground.
Walking with you on the fullness of the sacred creative cycles of life - pregnancy & birth and postpartum. Nourishing you through the richness of your menstrual wellness, your inner cycles, and your rites of passage.
Rediscovering your sense of self and living a life in alignment with your authentic wise woman.
Embracing the threshold of life as you navigate the transitional years of perimenopause, menopause and second spring.
Releasing limiting beliefs, healing past traumas, nurturing your changing body and mind. Rediscovering yourself in your wild woman phase
With over 20 years experience of supporting women through life's transitional phases of inner cyclical wellness, trauma healing and transformational journeys, I hold space for women through their Maiden, Mother and Crone journeys.
As A Shamanic Priestess, Womb Witch and holistic healer, Nicola weaves a rich tapestry of holistic practices to guide you to shift limiting beliefs, release old patterns of behaviour, and balance your hormonal wellness to heal trauma and return home to your authentic womb wisdom. Nicola believes that when women connect to the ebb and flow of their inner cycles and the cycles of nature, deep healing can occur.
I see you, I hear you, I hold space for you.
When we journey together, a space is lovingly created to hold you, nourish you, encourage you, and support you to come home to yourself.
These spaces are crafted for you to be courageous, bold, authentic and raw.
All of you is welcome here.
Over 20 years ago, when I started out as a Holistic healer, I knew that something was out of kilter with myself, and knew that other women felt it too, deep within.
I felt a sense of disconnect with my body, disconnected from my menstrual cycle, burdened with shame and a fearfulness to step into my authenticity - carrying the deep womb wounds of childhood trauma and of early adult experiences.
These wounds manifested themselves as unhealthy habits, negative patterns of behaviour and an internal dialogue of criticism, shame, and lack of self worth.
As life’s flow led me through the rites of passage of pregnancy, birth and motherhood, it was only then that I’ve been able to step into my true wisdom and authenticity, healing the wounds of the past and reclaiming my power as a wild woman.
It’s been my life’s work and deep passion to explore a whole world of holistic wellness to support women on their journey, and myself on my own womb healing journey, to carry me through the rites of passage of conception pregnancy, birth, motherhood, and now perimenopause.
Like a wise woman gathering berries from a hedge row, I’ve gathered, harvested and blended healing practices from across of wide range of disciplines, ancestral knowledge, healing modalities and the guidance of elders, that have bubbled together in the cauldron to create a rich and abundant offering to support you along your own journey, as they have supported me through my own.
