Why I Love This Work
What do I love about this work?
I love that each placenta has it's own energy. I love that a headstrong Scorpio boy makes his presence known through his placenta, that a mother's delicate and calm nature can be felt through the organ her body created to sustain her baby.
Sometimes I have to sit down, sometimes I work with a grin on my face. I always sing.
I'm a strong believer in speaking about what you love. What I love is working under the light of the same moon the baby was born under. I love being the one in the neighbourhood doing women's work for the new mother.
Making placenta remedies is like tapping into something ancient and wise.
I remember as I drove away from my training 3 years ago full of excitement and trepidation. I had done the course more out of curiosity than anything else and I was blown away.
I felt like I had left with more questions than answers. The main question in my mind - am I fit for this sacred role?
What qualities would you look for in somebody working with your placenta? ❤
You Are Her
I asked her to keep autumn safe,
Took the moon from my hair,
Left it at the feet of the goddess.
I bled all over the pages
Of my intention
It flowed from me
In my time of winter.
Let autumn remain untouched
I wrote in ink.
The difference between praying
To an absent god
And following the path
Of the mother
Is she will always ask you to meet her there
In that space of dark possibility
Ask you how much
You want what you are asking for.
You are her,
You are the one you are praying to.
Again she invites me Into her cauldron
And I take the step.
Walking Alongside You
As I move on to filming about the shadow feminine and dark Goddesses for my Awaken Your Wild Feminine course, it has had me thinking about the shadow times we go through as women and how it influences our work.
I've been talking to the feminine divine since I was a young girl, in her many forms.
Goddess spirituality isn't all love and light and blessings, often healers go through immensely dark times to heal themselves and share their gifts with others.
I had an amazing realisation yesterday that I have made such a point of not sharing my trauma that somebody I have known for nearly a year still didn't know what happened to me that changed my life forever.
This means to me I have done my healing work so well.
This course is my Persephone offering from the underworld, turning darkness into light. This cannot be imitated, and your journey is just as unique.
I am somebody who has walked through the shadows. I am somebody who has been pushed to the edge.
I have turned the wound into a place that blooms, because I know the true price of giving away your power.
So as we go on a journey examining the dark lessons from our past and the messages of hope, remember I am walking alongside you sister 🙏
