LOSS TENDING 

Loss transforms us into the most profound connection with Love

As a priestess and keeper of sacred thresholds I support loss in many ways. From the descent through loss of loved ones, support during sovereign baby loss and providing spaces to access our ancient keening rituals in grief ceremony.

My practice draws upon ancient Celtic shamanic death and dying rituals. Soul midwifery is about caretaking of the soul on its onward journey. I use various ritual practices to tend the sacred threshold including with the support of myrrophoric oils alongside anointing and closing rituals

I am a descendent of a death doula and embalmer on my father’s side
