My Passions. . .  My Journey


I am passionate about holding space and supporting individuals
in finding their gifts, their Medicine, their authentic Self
through coaching, teaching, healing and shamanic practices
living in alignment with
Earth Medicine, Moon Medicine and
the PSYCH-K® Principles of Nature.
holding the light
for those committed to creating
sustainable wholistic transformation in their life 
My practice is firmly planted in earth-based spirituality, healing and Celtic Shamanism, 
offering workshops, on-line events and private sessions.
I support individuals with both traditional coaching techniques and shamanic journeying,
Earth Medicine, the Principles of Nature©, energy work, alchemical healing and PSYCH-K® balancing. 

I am a Moon Mná Women's Celtic Circle Facilitator,
certified by Slí an Chroí, the Irish School of Shamanism,
a member of the Society for Shamanic Practice and
the CThA, the Complementary Therapists Association.

I share this wisdom, along with other Earth-based, Moon-Based and
Goddess-based women’s spirituality and practices, in several ways:
our on-line courses, in our blog,
in our private Facebook group, the Wise Woman Bean Gealach Circle,
and in our social media (see footer).

My Journey


​We each come to our work and our authentic Self in different ways . . .
perhaps following different and divergent paths until we each find our Self in a place we can call Home.
​
PictureMy paternal grandparent's wedding: the merging of the Irish and English branches of our family.
My path towards Celtic shamanism, energy healing, coaching, PSYCH-K® and hedgewitchery began with the awareness of my six-sensory intuitive abilities in childhood, no different from many others in my Anglo-Irish family.

​I grew up thinking that everyone could hear Spirit, chat with the faeries at the bottom of the garden, and fly through the neighbourhood in their dreams.

​Many generations of our family had "the gift", and were practising psychics, tea cup readers, and mediums. This was our "normal".

When I was five years old, we moved from Liverpool, England to Canada on the RMS Sylvania (pictured here at Liverpool's Pier Head) and I quickly learned that my gifts were not shared – or believed or understood! – by all.

There were years when I ignored these gifts – yes, they can be challenging! – but I always came home to my abilities and my passions . . . practising, learning, looking for teachers and giving readings to family and friends. ​
PictureMy first "leap of faith", skydiving in my 20s!
Professionally, I initially followed a more traditional path, obtaining advanced degrees in psychology and arts management, and worked in the arts and music industries in Banff, Canada and then London, England.  

​Upon my return to Canada, I felt called to shift my work into the corporate world and, even though very successful in the arts, began a new chapter in my life. That world never truly felt in alignment with my path, with my purpose. I learned a great deal from all these experiences, but knew it was time to start living my authentic life again.

In 2003, I took a leap of faith, left the corporate world and haven’t looked back!

I gave myself the gift of a year’s sabbatical to study wherever my heart and soul took me, such as NLP-based life coaching, Reiki, aromatherapy, crystals, healing, writing, intuitive development and more.  Since that sabbatical, I have continued to grown and learn, obtaining credentials in LifeForce Energy Healing, Spirit Guide Coaching, PSYCH-K®, PER-K®, shamanism, Goddess energies and archetypes, herbalism, Earth Medicine, Alchemical Healing, Moon Mná Mamai Celtic Women's Circles Facilitation, and many other healing and shamanic disciplines.  The development journey is life-long.
​
I opened up to my creative and healing sides, studying jewelry-making, lapidary, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, permaculture, ancestral crafts, foraging and permaculture, the making of sacred tools, fibre arts and more. 

And the journey continues . . . who knows where this magick and mystery will lead?

Inner Journey Events


​I created Inner Journey Outfitters in 2004 to support individuals on their journey, through NLP-based transformational coaching, PSYCH-K® balancing and shamanic journeying, and this work continues (see the Work with Me page for more information)..

Inner Journey Events was founded in 2008, as a division of Inner Journey Outfitters, and was soon featured in Macleans magazine as Advice for the Beginner Psychic. Our initial focus was holding the light for individuals developing their intuitive abilities and those on a journey of personal growth. For many people, our events provided one of the few places to openly discuss their gifts and their journey in a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. The number of workshops grew and soon included a range of topics from Alchemy to Zen, including many intuitive and healing modalities, energy work, core shamanism, earth medicine, meditation techniques, creative workshops and more. 

​My work with Inner Journey Events has shifted once again, and has now moved to a virtual environment through on-line courses and workshops, and a private Facebook group / Circle  to support individuals in their journey. ​​
Inner Journey Events is strongly committed to community support and donates to local and global charities
committed to the environment, and to the health and education of the world's children. 
Our commitment is based on the 1-1-1 model: each year we donate to these charities
1% of our income, 1% of our time and 1% of our products or services.
