Healing On the Hill

Eternally grateful for this work I do and the women who allow me to hold them 🙏

My heart is so full after the most beautiful and divinely led Closing the Bones Ceremony today for a very special mother 🌹

Honouring this sacred rite of passage, honouring Mother, honouring body, honouring the living miracle of woman ✨️

Closing the Bones, Calling the soul back Home. Womb and Heart as One 🌹

Closing the Bones is a 3 hour Ceremony for Mother's. Traditionally done in the postpartum period (6 weeks pp+) but can be received and experienced at any stage of your mothering journey to honour the crossing of the threshold from Maiden to Mother 💞

If this is calling to you, or if you would like more information about it, please do get in touch. It is my honour to Hold the Mother 💚

Sliding scale pricing available. Home visits may be arranged on request 🙏

One of the most commonly asked questions about the work I do is, who is it for? Followed by what can it help with?

This past week (and most weeks) I have had the privilege of seeing a wide variety of people, all with different needs.

There has been a baby suffering with reflux, a little girl with constipation, a postpartum mother and her recovering body, a young business-man in need of stress relief, a peri-menopausal woman in need of hormonal balance and emotional support, to name a few. There has also been the people I see in the cancer care centre, each with their own unique needs on their journey's.

The treatment is chosen and woven based on your individual needs and along with the more technical aspects of the physical treatment, there is connection, intention, prayer, healing energy and love poured into each one 🌹

I thank God everyday for the gift given to me, that I can share with you, and I appreciate every person who trusts me with their bodies, their minds, their hearts and their stories.

I feel honoured to walk this path and I thank you for walking it with me 🙏

As winter deepens and the Wheel of the Year turns, the Oak King and Holly King take their places in the eternal cycle of light and shadow. These twin spirits of Celtic lore embody the rhythms of the seasons — one ruler of the waning year, one of the returning sun. Their myth is not of conquest but of balance, a sacred dance played out across the forests, hills, and hidden groves of the land.

The Oak King, lord of the light half of the year, is young, vigorous, and radiant. He rises with the sun, bringing warmth, growth, and promise to the land. The Holly King, guardian of the dark half, is patient, resilient, and protective. He tends the winter fields, shrouds the earth in frost, and whispers secrets through the bare branches and evergreens.

In legend, their annual duel is not violence but a ritual of passage, the turning of the year itself. With each swing of sword or staff, one retreats and the other ascends, marking the slow, inexorable shift from light to dark, and dark to light again. The forests hold witness: oak groves shimmer with frost, holly berries glow against the shadowed trees, and the wind carries the echoes of their dance across hills and valleys.

This myth is a mirror for the rhythms of our own lives. Just as the kings embody the passage of the seasons, we too move through cycles of growth and rest, visibility and quiet, expansion and introspection. The dark months are not empty, they are the stewardship of the Holly King, who holds space for reflection, resilience, and the gathering of strength. The light months are the Oak King’s gift, a time of emergence, creativity, and flourishing.

As you move through these days of early December, imagine the kings’ dance unfolding in the natural world around you. Notice the subtle shifts in light, the crisp air of morning, the quiet of snow-dusted branches. Feel how your own inner rhythms echo the turning of the wheel, honoring endings and preparing for new beginnings.

In their dance, we learn that dark and light are never separate. One flows into the other. One cannot exist without the other. And in their balance, the world — and we — are held, transformed, and renewed.

I stepped outside and allowed God to hug me.

Walked with the rain,
Who took pause with my prayer,
And followed the Way,
To the Elder Tree.

The One I had first come to know.
The One they thought ugly.

Offered the first of my teeth to Her.
The oddly shaped peg.
One they thought funny.

Three last departing breaths with you,
From the breadth of my lungs,
And the depths of my bones,
Before returning you Home.

I press you gently, firmly and slowly,
Into the Earth,
As though I would a seed,
With gratitude, intention and prayer.

May my Root meet your Root

May my Heart meet your Truth

Annointing myself with Her soil and Her wisdom,
And what may grow from here.

Closeby, a little stone calls to me.
One who lost a part of herself breaking free from the rubble.
And one I thought lovely.

I held her safely in my hand,
And walked along the Way,
To find magic and beauty,
And the forgiveness of purple Roses flowering in November.

I return home,
With my little stone,
And Thank God for hugging me.

Crows circle in the sky above,
My heart filled with these Gifts of Love,
And raindrops fall again.
