I’ve been walking the Celtic Wheel for 14 years… and the medicine of Samhain shows up differently each time.

It has appeared as:
🔥 the soft balm of rest calling me into my inner cave.
🔥 a morning alarm shaking me awake from living on autopilot.
🔥 the feeling of my ancestors encircling me with love and support.
🔥 the sharp, loving whisper of An Cailleach asking me to focus on what truly matters.

In this episode, I share how to walk with the energy of Samhain and not ignore it's wisdom. Samhan is the turning point of the Celtic Wheel that invites us to sit closer to the descent, death, and regeneration.

How can we honor what’s changing or dying and not rush through it or turn away from it? Can we let death be a teacher that shows us how to live more fully.. to show up more fully for life?

As the veils are thin, we have the opportunity to connect with our benevolent Ancestors... to remember who we are, where we come from and why we are here.

From Samhain until Imbolc, An Cailleach calls us further down and further in.. asking us to come into our centre… into the fertile void.

She reminds us that their is deep medicine held in this space.. a place where all that is hidden begins to be unveiled.

And what happens if we try to side step the medicine held within Samhain?…The phase of life that asks us to make sacrifices, to surrender to what needs to be gifted to the earth so regeneration can happen… that’s what you’ll discover when you listen to this weeks episode.

Every samhain is different... the medicine it offers us changes each year.

Embodying the Celtic Wheel asks you to move consciously through the invitation of each turning point. Can you meet life in all of its phases?

Samhain sometimes invites you to rest deep in the tender holding of your ancestors and mother earth. To let go of holding on or forcing growth - to let yourself be held unconditionally.

Other times it's an earth shattering awakening as death in it's many guises comes knocking at your door... Asking you 'to wake up' ... Reminding you that this life is sacred.. are you truly living? It's sharp tongue making you see clearly what's really important if you're willing to sit with death as a teacher.

It also invited you to surrender, to sit in uncertainty and the unknown. It brings your focus back to this moment only. There's no thinking 'what next' or 'cresting a 10 step plan'.. it's can I lean into the not knowing.

Samhain often helps us to witness our grief. To give voice to our sorrows...The losses of loved ones, of opportunities forgone, of choices mad, of versions of yourself, of the life you thought you'd have.

Yet within all these spaces, the Cailleach is there to hold you, help you lovingly see what you've been avoiding and guide you through this path... She is the seer, she will help you see where to place your foot for the next step as that is all that is needed for now.

To try and sidestep our Samhain seasons of life means we miss growing in maturity and wisdom. We may keep living a life that is not truly ours but one we've decided to wear to please others.

Can you surrender to the turning of the Wheel as we cross he threshold into Samhain?

Join me for my in-person Shamanic ceremony this Sunday 2nd Nov to journey into the Cailleachs Cave to receive her wisdom

Or

Join Walk the Celtic Wheel at Samhain on 3rd Nov and evening of reiki and ritual to receive healing and guidance from the energy of Samhain for whatever season of life you are in.

Midlife asks you to tenderly hold the question 'where am I and what is calling me in this next stage of life'.

It's easy to get stuck in the in-between phase as you cling to what you've outgrown and try to breath life back into it.

You don't want to leave the familiar behind but there's a part on you looking for 'more'... And often that more is unnameable at first.

It's the rite of passage that no one prepares you for.

You 'know' about the hormonal shifts but the spiritual initiation alongside the emotional and psychological changes can leave you feeling like you don't have steady ground to stand on.

But what if you allowed yourself to be changed and shaped by your deepest inner whisperings.

What if you took the risk to become who you choose to be...

What if you could break free of limitations and embrace liberation...

What if you didn't have to figure it all out alone but had a map to guide you way.

When you are held in ceremony, you allow yourself to be supported by your lineage... You learn how to hold yourself through your experience... You learn you're not alone... You feel nourished and resourced... And the insights that come from deep within offer you a sweet balm to buoy you through this cycle.

And you create momentum in your life as you reclaim the parts of you that are needed in your life right now.

When you answer the call at midlife, it becomes an initiation... Not a crisis.

This is your invitation to walk this path with support and to let go of thinking you 'should' be able to figure this out on your own.

Midlife Initiation is a 6 week online ceremonial rite of passage where you shed what you've outgrown, make sense of what's unfolding and open to receive what's ready to be claimed within you and your life.

Our allies - rowan tree, rose and snake - will hold space for the shedding and retrieval of your energy so you can receive what you need from this season of your life.

Midlife isn’t about having all the answers…it’s about learning how to sit with the questions.

If you’ve been feeling restless, pulled in different directions, or even ready to burn it all down… you’re aren’t doing anything wrong.

This is midlife doing its work.

It’s completely normal at this time to:
🔥Question the path you’ve been walking, personally and professionally
🔥Long for something deeper and more meaningful
🔥Feel the urge to burn it all to the ground
🔥Feel overwhelmed by the possibilities and the unknown

Because you're changing and you’re not yet sure who you're becoming.

These questions can feel confusing, disorienting and uncomfortable...but they’re also your compass.

They carry the seeds of your becoming… your healing, vitality, freedom and true self-expression.

When you've the right support, these questions become stepping stones that help you access your power, voice, creativity and courage so you can grow into the person you were always meant to be.

This is why I created 'Your Midlife Initiation’ a 6 week ceremonial rite of passage to reclaim your energy, clarity and sovereign centre...without burning your life to the ground.

The Midlife Initiation begins this October.

Autumn Equinox invites you to integrate, digest and complete so you can receive the wisdom from your experiences.. both the challenges and the gifts.

When you try to skip this season and rush straight into beginnings you:

- miss the chance to truly savour the rewards of your earlier efforts

- burnout by continuing to keep pushing, growing and expanding when your body craves stillness

- bypass your natural rhythm that knows it’s time to slow down

- cling to outdated versions of yourself instead of letting go of what you’ve outgrown

Autumn Equinox shows us integration is as vital as growth - that is how we mature, that is how we can grow into wise elders…

When you take time to integrate and complete cycles you:

- Create spaciousness by reclaiming your energy from outdated patterns

- Let your lived experience moves from knowing to embodied wisdom

- Close energetic loops that drain your vitality and focus

- Make peace with the past so it doesn’t bleed into what’s next

- Create sacred space for clarity, creativity, and direction to be revealed

- Stop forcing forward motion and allow life to unfold with more grace

If you’re craving a deeper connection to this season join us for:

I’ve been walking the Celtic Wheel for 14 years… and Autumn Equinox is always the turning point that feels clunky…

It’s the place where I hear myself utter the words ‘I’m just not ready yet…’ and this may resonate with you too.

But the wheel keeps turning, whether we’re ready or not.

Autumn Equinox asks something different of us after the expansion of Summer and the celebration of gathering in our harvest… it asks us to slow down, to surrender and to take time to integrate… because it’s in this space that knowing turns into embodied wisdom.

In this episode, I'm sharing how to meet the medicine of Autumn Equinox and not ignore it’s wisdom.

This episode is for you if:

You’ve been telling yourself
•"I’m not ready'
•‘What if letting go means I lose everything I've built?’
•‘I need certainty before I can move on or let go.’

You’re clinging to something that’s already changing.

You’re at the end of a cycle but aren’t sure how to end it with grace.

I've been running Celtic Wheel circles for the last 10 years and each turning point always has something new to reflect to me.

It's easy to forget life is cyclical and instead fall back into pushing harder, overextending ourselves and moving further away from our own wisdom.

Yet, when you take the time to step back and anchor into the medicine of the Celtic Wheel... You're whole being breathes a sigh of relief... You remember that you can pause, reorientate, change, rest or grow... All is welcome.

The Celtic Wheel is a spiral map for moving through not only life but spiritual growth, business, creative projects, rites of passage, relationships... All parts of life.

For me, walking the Celtic Wheel:
- Guides me back to my sovereign centre

- Reminds me to trust the timing of life's unfolding

- Gives me resources to support navigating all parts of life when things get sticky

- Reminds me there is beauty in every season of life and all seasons carry a gift even if I can't see it immediately

- Enhances my relationship with Nature as my teacher

These online gatherings are created with love for women who want space to deeply reflect, receive powerful guidance from their soul, reconnect with their innate knowing and follow their unique rhythm.

Those who've gathered leave feeling nourished, supported, grounded and connected to the lighter side of life.

They often receive hidden insights just by taking this space to be held through reiki, ritual, guided meditation and soul inquiry.

This client had been carrying a sense of soul loss for 5 years.

They were constantly fatigued, hiding away, and afraid to be in their body. They told me they wanted to feel braver, more confident, and whole again.

They reached out about Soul Retrieval and we talked through what they were experiencing and where they wanted to be.

They admitted feeling nervous as they’d tried other healings before and nothing had shifted but from speaking to me, they felt I had a different perspective on healing, working with energy and integration.

After three sessions, the changes were already showing up.

- Physically, their body and voice felt more solid.
- Emotionally, people were being drawn to them, giving them gifts, and engaging with them playfully.
- Socially, they were more present and able to enjoy time with friends without withdrawing.
- Spiritually, they told me, “The spark is back and many wonderful things are happening.'

And one of the biggest shifts?

As someone who had always done everything themselves, they found relief in feeling ‘deeply heard, seen, and understood’ (her words, not mine) and having continous support rather than trying to figure it out all alone.

That’s the power of Shamanic Healing.

It works because it’s tailored to you and address the root causes. It releases at the energetic level ( ‘blockages’, old patterns, outdated programs, negative attachments, ancestral or emotional wounds) so your natural life force can flow freely again.

And it also helps you reclaim the parts of yourself that got lost along the way through soul retrieval.

This supports you to step into a more aligned, authentic, and connected version of yourself.

As this client shared ‘each session feels magical’… there are some things that words can’t describe, it has to be experienced and shamanic healing is one of those.

If you’re ready to create momentum in your life, reconnect with yourself and reclaim your energy I look forward to holding space for you.

DM or comment 'SHAMANIC' and I'll message you options. Or if you're old school hit the link in bio 😉

Autumn Equinox reminds us that it’s safe to release, let go and come full circle.

Just like trees shed their leaves to make space for new life, we’re invited to let go of what no longer nourishes us so what’s meant for us can finally have the space to take root.

It’s easy to think that growth is about adding more but it’s often about releasing, refining and integrating.

But as you know, letting go can be hard.

You hold on out of habit, fear, or the belief that if you release something you've wasted all the energy, time or love you’ve already poured into it.

But what if letting go is asking you to lean into courage, trust, and the wisdom of composting so you can fully receive from the new beginnings that are held in Samhain.

Letting go doesn’t mean you failed, it means you’re growing, evolving and making space for what's important to you.

Sacred Completions: A shamanic ceremony for Autumn Equinox is about:

🍂 Honoring what’s complete so your soul can finally breathe and express itself

🍂 Composting what you’ve outgrown (beliefs, behaviors, or versions of you etc…) so you can attune more deeply to what matters

🍂 Reclaiming your energy back from old stories, roles, identities or events and releasing the mental and emotional weight you’ve been carrying

🍂 Choosing your next chapter intentionally as you step forward with clarity, depth, and grace.

During this intimate ceremony, you’ll be gently guided through a tapestry of tea ceremony, rituals, nature work, reflective practices and empowering integration all designed to tend to what’s ready to be released and nourish what’s next.

This ceremony is crafted from my 11 years training with and inspired by the teachings of , woven with the wisdom gifted to me by my spirit team, the earth and my ancestral lineage.

Let’s come together to honor what’s come full cycle and receive energetic closure.

📅 Date: 21st September, Sunday
⏲️ Time: 10-1pm
📍 Location: Aventine Gardens, Foxrock, Co. Dublin
🍂 Investment: 90 euro included all materials

I’d been walking the Celtic Wheel for 6 years… but I completely missed my own season.

In 2019, after ignoring the telltale signs that I was deep in burnout, I finally surrendered to an inner winter…

In this episode, I'm sharing how each turning point on the Wheel mirrors a stage of burnout from Summer's overextension to Winter's essential renewal, Samhain's sacred sacrifice and the radiance of Bealtaine.

And why your healing might need to go deeper than just "taking time off."

This episode is for you if:

☀️You’ve been telling yourself "I'll rest after this project" or "I'll slow down when things calm down,”
☀️You wear being busy as a badge of honor
☀️You’re often described as highly independent or resilient but you struggle with slowing down and accepting support
☀️You’re recovering from burnout
☀️You’re edging towards that cycle of exhaustion again

Find where you are on the wheel and what your soul is asking for.

We’ve been conditioned to only celebrate ‘visible’ success but Lughnasadh reminds us of a deeper kind of abundance.

At our online gathering last night, we met the threshold of Lughnasadh.

People arrived feeling calm, hopeful, joyful yet there was also a feeling of apprehension where you’re not quiet ready for the summer to end.

Some shared they were feeling the cocoon of winter in their lives. Others were dancing at the cusp of imbolc ready to slowly emerge and others were feeling a little lost… not sure where they were standing on the Wheel or what harvest they have to show for their efforts.

This is the beauty of cyclical living.. honoring that we're all in different seasons and cycles.

And yet, no matter where each person found themselves, Lughnasadh held deep medicine for each of them.

As we shared our bounty with each other one thing became clear….

Often the most powerful things we have to be truly grateful for are immeasurable… the feeling of love, the ability to receive support, the spark of joy, choosing to slow down, the beauty of rest over hustle, learning to trust yourself again, the company of sweet friends…

This is the gift of taking time to gather in our harvest. The gift of pausing at the turning point and honouring what we’ve grown, what we’re laying down, and what’s still to come to fruition.

Each person now carries this medicine within to sustain and guide them in the coming months.

If you’d like to honor the gifts of your harvest, come join me on this Sunday in shamanic ceremony at Foxrock, Co. Dublin.
