My Story

The story of how losing sight of myself became the beginning of Sacred Reclamation.

I believe every woman deserves to know who she is beyond the roles she fulfils, the expectations she carries and the stories that have taught her to make herself smaller.

That belief is not simply the foundation of my work. It is the result of my own journey. Sacred Reclamation grew from slowly learning to listen to my inner voice, honour what was true for me and stop measuring my worth by what I could achieve, how much I could give or how well I could hold everything together.

Today, Sacred Reclamation remains at the heart of everything I create. Through The Sacred Sanctuary, Sister Circles, Sacred Reclamation Gatherings, workshops and my writing, I hold spaces in which women are invited to be seen, heard, witnessed and supported as they remember who they are beneath everything life has asked them to carry.

I Arrived Here the Long Way Round

For more than seventeen years, I worked in higher education, building a career that carried genuine responsibility and, by every outward measure, success. I was capable, committed and reliable. I became the person everyone could depend upon, and for a long time I believed that was enough.

Slowly, almost without noticing, my life became shaped more by achievement than authenticity. My worth became measured by what I could accomplish, how much I could give and how well I could hold everything together. In the process, I became increasingly disconnected from myself until my health made it impossible to continue living in the same way.

Being signed off work felt, at the time, as though everything I had built was falling apart. Looking back, I can see it differently. It was the beginning of my own Sacred Reclamation.

In 2017, a diagnosis of fibromyalgia finally gave language to what my body had been communicating for a long time. Alongside chronic migraines, anxiety and periods of depression, it invited me into a very different relationship with myself, one that asked me to stop overriding my needs and begin listening instead.

Life did not pause to make that easier. Alongside living with my own health challenges, I was caring for family members and running a business. I had to discover how to reclaim myself while still living inside the reality of my everyday life.

That experience shaped one of the deepest truths at the heart of Sacred Reclamation. Reclaiming yourself does not mean walking away from the people you love or the responsibilities you hold. It means refusing to lose yourself within them.

How Sacred Reclamation Took Root

I did not create Sacred Reclamation from theory. It was born through lived experience, through discovering that returning to yourself is not about becoming somebody different, but about remembering the woman who has always been there beneath the roles, expectations and layers of adaptation.

Over time, I came to understand that coming home to yourself is not something you do once. Life changes. Responsibilities grow. Unexpected challenges arrive. Sometimes we lose sight of ourselves again without even realising it. Sacred Reclamation is the practice of noticing, listening and choosing to return, not perfectly, but honestly and intentionally.

What began as a personal journey gradually became the philosophy beneath my work. Not as another self-improvement philosophy, but as a different way of meeting yourself. A way rooted in self-trust, sacred self-care, boundaries, sovereignty, devotion and the quiet remembrance that your own voice and inner wisdom still belong to you.

The Spaces I Hold Today

Today, my work is centred on creating meaningful spaces where women can gather, reflect, connect and come home to themselves in the company of other women. The Sacred Sanctuary, Sister Circles, Sacred Reclamation Gatherings and workshops each offer a different way to enter this work, but they are held by the same intention.

Every woman arrives carrying her own story. Some are standing at a crossroads, uncertain which direction to take. Others have lost sight of themselves beneath years of responsibility, caregiving or simply trying to hold everything together. Some long for a quieter, more intentional way of living, while others are searching for community, sacredness or a place where they do not need to perform.

These spaces are not built around me giving you a prescribed answer or telling you who you should become. They are created so that you can hear yourself more clearly and give your own wisdom room to emerge. Through meditation, journalling, ritual, reflection, conversation and shared experience, there is space for both the inward journey and the connection that becomes possible when women gather with honesty and respect.

I do not stand outside this work as somebody who has completed it. Sacred Reclamation is something I continue to live, imperfectly and honestly, through the changing seasons of my own life. My hope is always that you leave feeling more deeply connected to yourself than when you arrived, and more able to trust what you already know within you.

My Training, Experience and Devotion

Although my work is no longer centred on offering one-to-one coaching or astrology readings, neither has been discarded. The knowledge, experience and ways of listening I developed through both remain woven into how I create and hold every circle, gathering, workshop and community space.

I am a fully qualified and accredited Spiritual Empowerment Coach and Life Coach. My training has included coaching, mindset, energy alignment, Reiki, Goddess-centred astrology, medical astrology, crystal healing, chakra work, breathwork, meditation and pain management. My coaching training and experience taught me how to listen beneath the surface, ask meaningful questions, honour another woman's autonomy and support reflection without assuming that I know what her life should become.

I have also been honoured to receive several awards for my work, including the South West of England Prestige Award for Best Spiritual Life Coach in both 2023/24 and 2024/25, and the SME News UK Enterprise Award for Most Dedicated Spiritual Life Purpose Coach 2024, South West England. Although these titles reflect an earlier expression of my work, they remain an acknowledgement of the commitment, care and integrity I have brought to supporting women.

Alongside my coaching and spiritual training, I spent two years studying Goddess-centred astrology through the Silver Spiral. This was not simply a qualification or an academic course. It was an immersive journey into working with Goddess, the Moon and the archetypal wisdom of astrology through the lens of the Divine Feminine. Astrology is no longer something I offer as a separate service, but its understanding of cycles, seasons and archetypal patterns continues to enrich the work I create.

At the end of that journey, I dedicated as a Priestess of the Stars through the Goddess Temple in Glastonbury. For me, this was not simply a title. It was a commitment to a way of life: to honouring Goddess, walking my own path with integrity and devotion, and holding sacred space for women with the same reverence.

My qualifications allow me to hold this work with skill, knowledge and integrity. My lived experience allows me to hold it with humanity and understanding. My Priestess path asks me to hold it with devotion and reverence. These are not separate strands of my work. Together, they form the foundation of Sacred Reclamation and the spaces I offer today.

Beyond the work

I am a Leo Sun, Leo Rising, with a Sagittarius Moon. All fire. Passionate, loyal, and with a constant yearning for freedom and adventure.

 

I love crystals and have them everywhere, throughout my home, in my office, in my bag, and on my body. I am vegan. I love black cats, although I do not have one at the moment.

 

In my free time you will find me visiting stone circles and ancient sacred sites, wandering through Glastonbury Abbey and Chalice Well Gardens, exploring National Trust gardens, practising yoga, swimming, and spending time in nature. Holford in Somerset is one of my favourite places in the world, along with the Eden Project in Cornwall.

 

I often walk with two small offering bags, one with dried petals and one with crystal chips, so I can offer thanks to Goddess and Mother Earth wherever I go.

 

Being a Priestess is more than a title. It is a way of life, an honour, and a privilege. Every day is an opportunity to live in sacred relationship with the world around me, and to guide other women in remembering their own sacred nature.

Beyond the work, I am drawn to quiet, meaningful things: time with Goddess, the Moon and my oracle cards, preparing cacao with intention, writing in my journal, learning, reflecting and creating small moments of sacredness within ordinary life.

I love visiting the sea, spending time in nature and exploring sacred places whenever I have the opportunity. I never seem to spend as much time outdoors as I would like, which perhaps makes those moments feel even more precious when they come.

I am endlessly curious and love learning. Whether I am deepening my understanding of astrology, exploring ancient wisdom or discovering new ways to support women's wellbeing, I expect I will always remain a student of this work and of life itself.

My spiritual practice does not always look the same. Some days it may include time at my altar, a candle, prayer or ritual. On other days, devotion may be found in a single conscious breath, a moment of stillness or the decision to honour what my body and heart are asking of me.

Above all, I try to live the philosophy I share with others. Not perfectly, but intentionally. Sacred Reclamation is not something I believe happens once. It is a lifelong practice of coming home to ourselves, one small choice at a time.

Where Your Story Meets Mine

Every woman arrives here at a different point in her journey. You may be longing for community, standing at a threshold, reconnecting with a part of yourself you have neglected or simply seeking a more sacred and intentional way of moving through your life.

Some women find their way to The Sacred Sanctuary and discover the ongoing support of community. Others join a Sister Circle, attend a Sacred Reclamation Gathering or begin with one of my workshops or pieces of writing. There is no single right place to begin, only the place that feels true for you now.

Wherever your journey starts, I hope you find a space where you feel seen, supported and encouraged to come home to yourself.

It would be a privilege to welcome you.
