I've always been drawn to what lives beneath the surface, to the intelligence of the body, the medicine and mystery of plants, the changing seasons and the subtle ways we sense things long before we can explain them. The relationship between our own nature and the living world has fascinated me for as long as I can remember, and much of my life has been spent exploring what happens when we pay closer attention to it.

My path has taken me through herbal medicine, women's health, movement and embodied practice, alongside a longstanding interest in ritual, cyclical living and the passages of a woman's life. I am an integrated holistic practitioner, although I've never felt that any single title quite captures the way I work. What interests me is how these different traditions and practices can inform one another, and how they come alive through our own experience.

My relationship with plants has always extended beyond their medicinal properties. I'm drawn to the older traditions of folk medicine, the knowledge and practices of the wise woman, and the place of ritual and ceremony in our relationship with the living world. There is a witch in me, certainly, but one whose understanding is grounded as much in the physical and practical as in the intuitive and unseen. I find these worlds inseparable, whether I'm preparing herbal medicines, working with the body or exploring the deeper mysteries of a woman's life.

My own experiences have shaped this understanding, particularly the thresholds that have altered the course of my life. They've taught me that change doesn't always arrive with clarity, and that not everything difficult needs to be hurried towards a resolution. There is value in allowing ourselves to inhabit a passage fully, even when we don't yet know where it will lead.

Wild Earth Alchemy has grown from this way of living and working. It brings together my relationship with plants, my understanding of the body and my interest in the feminine arts, creating a place where women can explore their own nature and the changes unfolding in their lives.

At its heart is a belief that we belong to the living world, and that much of what we seek to understand about ourselves begins with recognising that relationship.
