This is one of the most sacred places in ancient Egypt. The temple of Temple of Seti I, and Abydos, devoted to the mysteries of death, rebirth, and the eternal journey of the soul through the realm of Osiris.

The energy in this place is hard to describe….
Ancient. Alive. Almost intoxicating.

Standing in its sacred rooms, you can feel that that transformation is not just myth or symbol. It is a cycle that lives within all of us:
The death of old identities.
The crossing of thresholds.
The rebirth into something truer.

And my belief that is the essence of alchemy.

Abydos holds the quiet reminder that we are always in a process of becoming…shedding, dissolving, and rising again into the next version of ourselves.

And when you stand there long enough, you can feel that ancient current still moving through the stones… and through you. ✨

Today, I walked through the temple at Dendera… and something inside me exhaled.
It was the quiet recognition of someone who has walked those halls before.

Dendera is known as the Temple of Hathor: goddess of love, beauty, music, fertility, and sacred joy. But she is not softness alone. She is cosmic intelligence. She is initiation through devotion. She is the priestess path embodied.

And within her temple lives the presence of the divine. To stand there, between love, power, and vision l…felt like standing inside my own medicine.
There was no dramatic moment. No lightning bolt.
Just a steady remembering.

Dendera was a place of healing rituals. Of sacred sound. Of priestesses trained in devotion and discipline. Of initiations that required both tenderness and fire.
It mirrors the work I do now.

In my private practice, I sit with people in their grief, their shame, their longing, their becoming. I work to hold the Hathor frequency of compassion, attunement, and relational depth. I work to hold the Sekhmet current of boundaries, truth, courage, and shadow work. I work to hold the Horus vision, helping clients rise above the chaos of their stories and see the wider arc of their lives.

This journey to Egypt has not been about becoming someone new.
It has been about remembering who I already am…

Dendera reminded me that healing is not passive. It is devotional. It is structured. It is powerful. It requires both the lioness and the mother. Both the priestess and the clinician.

For my practice, this means:
• Trusting my voice more fully.
• Speaking my frameworks clearly.
• Owning the integration of psychology and sacred work without shrinking.
• Allowing my work to be both grounded and mystical.

The Age of Alchemy has never been about trend or aesthetic.

It is lineage work.
It is reclamation.
It is disciplined devotion to healing.

Standing in Dendera felt like a threshold.
Not “I was someone powerful once.”
But: I am being asked to be fully here now.
And that feels like the true initiation ✨

Alchemical Reflection reveal ✨

'If you chose left: Inner Autumn
Alchemy and transformation is the name of the game for you. This lunar eclipse is asking you think about what within needs realignment. Look at where you have been denying your true self and what needs to fall away. Reflect on where you have been letting fear lead. There’s elements to what you’ve been experiencing that include sacred rage and a desire to harness your inner power. Finding ways to channel the sacred rage into something productive. Ask yourself: “If I weren’t afraid, what would I do?”

If you chose middle: Ceremony of Life

This card supports you in walking your walk, not just talking your talk. There’s been a need for you to truly express your authenticity and let go of the mask you wear everyday. It wants you to design your life in a way that feels aligned, bringing your spiritual practice and life values into alignment with your everyday life. Let life be an expression of your passions! Ask yourself: “If I could devote my life to something, what would that look like and how would it feel?”

If you chose right: Chamber of Power

This lunar eclipse invites you to cultivate your strength and trust in yourself. Know that you’re here for a reason and that your body is a vehicle for it. You have everything you need to do whatever you’re called to do and there’s nothing you need to be other than your authentic self. It’s time to cut away anything that does not align and surround yourself with healthy things that leave you more empowered. Ask yourself: “If I felt strong and empowered, what would I do?”.

Alchemical Reflection March 2,2026✨

We are continuing to navigate a major time of transformation with these eclipses and planetary shifts. We have a lunar eclipse happening March 3rd that asks us to step away from perfectionism and begin to embody a different way of being. Ask yourself where you have been trying to be perfect and what toll that has taken on you. Then ask what it would look like to heal that and step away from the “I’m not good enough” thinking.
Deep breath and come to centre for a moment. Go within and ask yourself which card you are drawn to and put your choice in the comments. The card you choose contains additional messaging to support you in reflecting and transforming under these energies. I’ll post their meanings later today ✨

My time in Egypt has been stirring something deep.

I keep noticing how much of modern spirituality, even the “love and light” version, is still shaped by patriarchy.

Transcend.
Rise above.
Detach.
Be positive.
Master your ego.

It’s subtle, but it’s there. That constant push upward. The hierarchy. Control. The quiet suggestion that healing means becoming untouchable.

But being here feels different.

Walking among these ancient temples… standing in the arms of Tefnut… immersing myself today in the Nile River…

I don’t feel transcendence.

I feel myself cracking open.

Softer.
More honest.
More human.
A remembering.

In reflection I’ve realized that the Nile was never shamed for overflowing.
Its flooding was fertile.
Its cycles were trusted.
Its depth was life itself.

And I’ve thought to myself this is what true spirituality feels like for me.

Embodied.
Feminine.
Earth-rooted.
Fierce.
Cyclical.
Unapologetically human.

It doesn’t bypass grief…it moves with it.
It doesn’t suppress anger…it lets it become boundary.
It doesn’t escape the body…it inhabits it with compassion.

It’s messy.
It bleeds.
It rages.
It nurtures.
It creates, destroys, and creates again.

Not polished enlightenment.

But integration.

The kind that gathers the scattered pieces and says,
“You belong too.”

Egypt hasn’t given me something new.

It’s truly been a remembering, deeper each time I am here.

That being fully human…emotional, cyclical, imperfect, intuitive…isn’t something to transcend.

It’s something to embody. And that’s sacred ✨🙏🏻✨

At the Temple of Kom Ombo, you’re invited to choose your entrance.

The left doorway honors Horus: sky, clarity, higher vision.
The right doorway honors Sobek: crocodile, instinct, the raw power of the earth and the Nile.

Same temple.
Different doorway.

This is a reelection of how we approach our inner world.

Do we try to rise above our anger?
Intellectualize it?
Spiritualize it?

Or do we enter through Sobek…
into the body,
into the heat,
into the root.

The root chakra is where survival, fear, territory, and anger live.
It’s where we learn whether the world is safe.
And anger, when digested rather than denied, becomes boundary. Power. Ground.

In psychotherapy, this is the choice we gently explore.

You can approach your pain from above: insight, reframing, meaning-making.
Or you can approach from below: sensation, instinct, the nervous system, the truth in your gut.

Both are sacred.
Both lead to integration.

But healing happens when we stop bypassing Sobek.

When we face what feels primal.
When we digest the anger instead of swallowing it whole.

Same temple.
Different doorway.

Tell me, which side would you tend to enter and why?

When I stepped into the sacred grounds of Philae Temple before the sun awoke this morning, something in me went quiet.

This was the sanctuary of Isis… the goddess who was magician, healer, devoted lover, and resurrector of what was broken.

I could feel what my dear friend speaks about in her book: Isis is the original alchemist.

Isis gathered the scattered pieces of Osiris.

She used devotion, wisdom, and sacred knowledge to restore life.

She did not bypass grief.

She worked through it.

That is alchemy.

Not the turning lead into gold kind 
but turning fragmentation into wholeness.

In spiritual psychotherapy, THIS is the work.

We gather the lost parts.
The exiled inner child.
The protective shadows.
The grief that never had language.
And gently, intentionally, we bring them back into relationship.

Magic, in this sense, isn’t fantasy.
It’s transformation through presence.
It’s what happens when science meets soul.

This morning the Temple of Isis reminded me:
That alchemists are both magician and warrior.
Healing is sacred work.
Integration is the ritual.
And wholeness is something we remember, piece by piece ❤️✨

There she is.
Her people call her Tefnut;
Others call her the Great Sphinx of Giza.

Many see a monument.
I feel a presence.

Some Egyptian traditions speak of her as Tefnut …lioness, balance-keeper, sacred force of restoration.

As a woman and spiritual psychotherapist, she reminds me:

You can be grounded and powerful.
Soft and sovereign.
Still and protective.

The feminine isn’t weak.
She guards thresholds.
She restores order.
She remembers.

And maybe healing is just that…remembering who you’ve always been ✨

Tell me, what do you feel when you look at her?

Hello Beautiful Souls,
I will be out of office February 22-March 10th, traveling in Egypt and spending some time connecting with the land, spirit and ancestry that this incredible country holds.
Alchemical Reflections will pause until I return. Sessions can continue to be booked and I will resume seeing you all when I get back.
Stay tuned for random updates and photos as I feel inspired ✨

ALCHEMICAL REFLECTION REVEAL ✨�Fruition • Creation • Darkness

🍎 Fruition�The life you desire is not separate from you.�It is the natural result of living in alignment. Fruition is the harvest that comes when you choose authenticity over approval. When you speak the truth. When you act from sovereignty.
This week may feel intense because you are shedding skins that no longer fit. Let them fall. You are not losing yourself…you are revealing yourself.
Eclipse gateways don’t ask for perfection.�They ask for honesty.
Where do you need more balance?�Where are you being called to stand taller?�Where is your soul asking for devotion?
It’s time to stand in who you are.

🌱 Creation�Owning your truth requires conscious creation.�Boundaries. New standards. Different choices.�You are not here to replay old roles. You are here to author a new narrative. What would you build if you stopped playing small? What would shift if you prioritized your needs without apology? Put yourself in the mix of those who deserve your attention and love.
It’s time to create the life you are aligned with.

🌑 Darkness�Before truth is spoken, it is felt in the dark.�This card asks: Where have you been hiding? Where have you been silencing yourself to keep the peace? Eclipse energy illuminates the shadows; not to shame you, but to liberate you. Your discomfort is a compass. Your triggers are teachers. Sit with what feels heavy. There is wisdom there.
It’s time to stop hiding.

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments- how do these resonate with the card you chose?

✨Alchemical Reflections February 15-21,2026✨

It’s time to own our truth.

This week will be intense, full of shifts that you might feel right down to your very core. We see the changeover from the Wood Snake to the Fire Horse in the Chinese Astrological energies, which moves us from a season of shedding and releasing into one of action and passion.

At the same time as this shift happens, we welcome the beginning of eclipse season with a solar eclipse. Eclipse gateways are always about change, opening and closing doorways from the old into the new. This particular eclipse ushers in opportunity to reflect on where our lives need more balance, authenticity and where we have not been staying true to the path of ourselves and our sovereignty. It’s going to feel like a push into the deep end, but you have to trust that you know how to swim. You were born for this and it’s time to let your authentic self shine even though it can feel like it’s challenging the status quo.

This weeks reflection invites you spend some time in contemplation of the above, considering where you need to set better boundaries and prioritize yourself and your needs. It’s time to stop playing small.

Deep breath, ground into yourself and the earth below you. Choose and card and place your choice in the comments below. I’ll be back later this evening with the reveal 💜

Let's be honest.

We don’t go to therapy because we’re broken.

We go because something isn’t working anymore.

Anxiety that won’t settle.
Burnout that rest doesn’t fix.
Patterns in relationships that keep repeating.

Alchemical psychotherapy isn’t about “positive thinking” or bypassing hard things.
It’s about understanding what your patterns are protecting… and gently transforming them.

It blends nervous system science with deeper reflection.
Practical tools with meaning-making.
Structure with soul.

Curious to know more about this kind of therapy and how it can be useful for you? I invite you to explore more in my latest blog post in The Alchemists Journal.
And if you’re in Waterloo Region or Ontario and looking for therapy that goes beneath the surface, please reach out for a free consultation to learn more about the work I do and how we can work together.
