who are my teachers
and what is my lineage?

This work is of 'The Land that I Walk Upon'. It is ancient knowing passed down through the senses. My ancestors have walked the UK lands for generations, they have grown food in this soil, knew the wind direction and weather shifts. They knew the plants and animals and seasons of these middle and borderlands. 

My lineage is a UK based, ancestral knowing. Most of my work is intuitive, downloaded straight from source. As a white British woman my ancient knowing was taken many hundreds of years ago. I don't have much if any of the ancient rites passed down to me physically. The rape and pillage of our ancient knowings of this land means that many people reach to other people's lineage because the Indigenous knowings of other lands are easier to reach. But if we listen to the earth, the wind and the plants it returns for the current times. This is what I wish for us all, that we can know our own lineages via direct listening, rather than through so much passed down teachings: go straight to source, straight to the spirit of the wind, straight to the heart of the physical mountain. It's all there if we are willing to listen. 

My wonderful teachers have influenced me and supported me in my work - the healing and wisdom they've shown me has been immense. 

My main teacher has been Jane Hardwicke Collings a Radical Shamanic Midwife - rebirthing women back to themselves. 

Suzi Crockford mentored me for a year on Dartmoor, A Shamanic Witch. 

Brooke Medicine Eagle has been very close to me for a number of years now, she has reminded me of the importance of bringing back the feminine to the land in these changing times. 

Catherine Hale has taught me about the trauma informed nervous system. And has brought a lot to my work on the subject of abundance, boundaries and sexuality.  

Louise of Higher Freedom is a regular mentor of mine, based in Guatemala she is a medicine woman with astonishing connection to spirit and keeps me in the light and on my soul's path.

​​

The folk who work with me through Initiation are in part Initiated into my lineage - they carry certain keys of the shared wisdom. 

I am forever grateful to my tribe. They are also - mainly - Initiated back to themselves, rather than being of me and my way, they have been encouraged to find their truth and their magic. This will be the magic that has been held and developed over lifetimes. We are re awakening it together.
