LOSS TENDING
Loss transforms us with the most profound connection with Love
It is the most universal experience that defies all barriers and boundaries
As a priestess and keeper of sacred thresholds I support loss in many ways. From the descent through loss of loved ones, through baby loss, herbal support during sovereign baby loss and providing spaces to access our ancient keening rituals in grief ceremony. Most recently I have given a workshop at End of Life Doula UK’s annual gathering on threshold tending with plant spirit medicine as well as co-created a memorial with them for a dear colleague in this field
My practice draws upon ancient Celtic shamanic death and dying rituals. Soul midwifery is about caretaking of the departing soul on its onward journey as much as it is spiritual support for those left behind. 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
