A little bit of magik everyday, helps the hard stuff fade away ✨ 

The past 10 months, although with many amazing beginnings, which were a direct result of many painful endings, has also been nothing short of an assault on my senses and nerves.

Creating experiences, as a mother I would do anything to shield my child from and re-triggering both healed and unhealed childhood trauma of every kind in me.

As much as I wish I had a magik wand to take away all the bad stuff, I know I can't (sadly I ain't that kind of witch).

Just like I know I can't take away all the bad stuff for little me either.

As much as we may try, we can't undo or erase what has been done to us; what we have seen, heard and experienced and how that has impacted us.

But we can grow around it and create powerful shifts by tuning into the energy of the maiden within; asking what she wants and needs, and this is actually a significant part of the cycle of both healing and manifestation. 

As a mother, I now understand that, trauma, whether with a big T or little T is part of life and my daughter will experience things I can't always shield her from; and as a trauma informed coach I understand trauma only becomes detrimental when it is not seen, held and soothed through understanding, compassion and care.

So I do what I can, perfectly, imperfect, doing my best to create lasting healing for us both through positive experiences, connection, safety, soothing and moments of magik and wonder…giving my inner child exactly what she needs at the same time, too.

✨ Last night we moved all the furniture and camped in the living room. We closed the curtains and lit fairy lights. We wore matching bear onesies and had a teddy bears picnic, eating chocolate raisins and crisps for dinner and watched Disney movies - simple, yet absolutely magikal for us both ✨ 

Every Waxing Moon, through my in person events and in the Online Monthly Moonphase Journey, we connect with the fierce, inspired, determined, creative, imaginative, playful and boundless energy of the inner maiden as we face our challenges, push further, reach higher and dream bigger…

✨ The inner maiden is the little YOU 👧 

📖 💭 Spiritual Enquiry/Journaling Prompt:

👧 Ask how would she approach this challenge or dream? 

👧 Ask what does she really want for me? 

👧 Ask what can I now do for her - now that I am a woman and have all the resources I need available to me?

We tend to her needs through nurturance and aligned action, and in turn tend to our dreams and visions as we manifest our inner desires and wildest dreams… finding quite often, the key to our financial, physical, spiritual and emotional abundance is through exactly what would light us up as kids (pretty cool, right?!) 🙌 

My little me and teenage Soph always loved writing and dancing and singing and making crafts and potions; being creative and helping people - she led me to the life I live now and my soul-aligned business.

Later today I'll be making beautiful handcrafted goody bags for Sunday's Beltane Retreat; going on a bike ride with my daughter, and doing my best to stop adulting for a bit so I can slow down and play - for her and me 😌 

Create room for play, wonder and curiosity in your life and watch as the magik unfolds, maiden 🌺

🌸 This SUNDAY, 19 MAY from 11am-3pm, we join to celebrate and embody the spirit of the maiden with our Beltane Retreat 🌸 

We will be witch crafting fresh flower crowns and celebrating the gifts of nature and their abundance with a beautiful plant based spring feast.

We will be dancing and moving our bodies; connecting with crystals, cacao + ritual; making magik as we get clear on what we want to manifest in our lives - leaning to the medicine of the Maiden and the Season of Spring; of rebirth and possibility 💛

There are just 4 spaces left for this intimate annual gathering held at my welcoming family home, located on Elgin, High Street.
