The Sacred Womb

A short and sweet episode to share with you a Womb Medicine Poem to restore the beauty and wonder of the womb centre.  It starts with a brief introduction, and then there's a guided practice to listen to the poem with your womb. I invite you to attune to the feel of the words, the energy, and the response from your womb. It’s a chance to dip your toe into the potency of your womb, to tap into...

I applaud and welcome a more inclusive, accepting, loving world.  To love each other in our unique expression is wonderful, it’s progress, it’s needed. However…I have noticed a very gradual eradication of the word WOMAN in women’s work.  In reference to a woman’s cycle, I’ve seen the word WOMAN replaced with ‘menstruators’, ‘people with womb’s’, ‘people with periods’.  If that’s what a person want...

Through oceans of time , women have been in some form of subjugated position and have looked outside of ourselves for our spiritual path and autonomy over our own bodies.

Our collective dissociation from, general disgust with and medicalisation of the womb and menstrual cycle, has put a woman’s womb in a vulnerable...

Welcome back to the podcast after an 8 month break! I give an update on what’s been happening the last year, details of my move to Thailand and an update on The Sacred Womb Book.  Below is a summary of THE Book 🙂 For millennia, women have been in a subjugated position. Handing on over our power for safety, protection, and money and care. And it’s not worked. We have ended up struggling with a col...

You have a name. But is it actually yours? Most women are born with their father's surname. If they marry, they take their husband's. Somewhere in all of that — a woman's own lineage, her own name — never existed. And most of us have accepted this so completely, we've stopped noticing it entirely. In this episode, I sits with a question that's been brewing for a while: why...
