Direction - Connection - Rewilding
Nature based spiritual support for healing and resilience.
The Antlered path is the one that reconnects you to the wilder aspects of your being and Nature. You are of the wild - the beating heart of the woods, the vast, shifting ocean and the inner sanctum of the most peaceful cave. When you feel disconnected from your self, your source, you are also distanced from Nature. Whatever you need, you will find it within and through nature based spiritual practice.
Helping you find your peace and innate wild wisdom are at the core of my services that make up the Antlered Path. I truly believe that working mindfully in harmony with Nature and the shifting seasons restores and maintains wellbeing for body, mind and soul. Using Nature connecting, spiritually uplifting skills, I support you in your healing and resilience.
Welcome!
I am here for you along the Antlered Path, a mentor, educator & priestess
I am an intuitive and empath, with counselling and coaching skills. I consider myself eclectic when it comes to my spirituality and follow a mostly Celtic based spiritual path. I teach meditation (from beginners to more advanced levels). I have been working with Tarot, runes and other oracles for over 30 years.
I am a Resilience Practitioner and trained with Dr Chris Johnstone, co-author of Active Hope. I strongly believe that cultivating resilience in daily life is almost essential in terms of navigating current challenges and upheaval. My resilience work is linked to my nature based focus, so all resilience coaching will have Nature connected tasks to assist with grounding, relaxing and restoring balance within you.
I am a Priestess of Elen of the Ways (ancient antlered Goddess linked to the wild woods and trackways of Brythonic lands). I offer a year long Wild Wheel of Elen course for women that can be joined at any sabbat. See the information under Courses to find out more.
I also offer Shamanic based healing specifically using rituals and journeying to assist people with improving their wellbeing.
I am accessible to complete beginners and more experienced and offer a very person centred approach.
Oracle consultations
Looking for clarity, insights or healing within a certain situation in your life? Or feel stuck as to how to best act regarding a pressing issue? Or need some spiritual and creative inspiration to reboot your energy? I consult oracle cards, tarot, runes and Nature based oracles to create a consultation that resonates for your holistic wellbeing.
I am very experienced at working with a variety of oracles, (over 30 years) and provide an in depth, spiritually focused approach to this work. If needed I will create a shamanic journey ritual to aid the flow of guidance from spirit allies. All information is presented in a pdf document with images of the cards, runes and so on included. I also record a guided journey for pathworking with the spread or consultation. This enables you to go deeper into the insights.
Costs vary. A 3 card spread is £15 and a 6 card spread is £30.
Courses
Creative, Nature connected and spiritually enlivening. This is what I share with you as you learn and grow along the Antlered Path.
Short and longer courses available. Please check in regularly and follow my updates on social media as a new programme emerges.
The Wild Wheel of Elen
A year long experiential journey for women, following Elen of the Ways. She is the Celtic Antlered Goddess of trackways, direction and the wild woods. She embodies the spirit of the land herself, true sovereignty and is also referred to as the Green Lady. Protectress of wildness and especially the deer trods.
The course is 8 lessons to connect to each sabbat. Unlike conventional wheel of the year courses, the focus here is on rewilding and connecting to the wild edges of the sabbats.
The course is very experiential, encouraging a rewilding of mind, body and soul. Each lesson includes rituals, crafting, shamanic healing exercises, guided journeys via MP3s and wild edge activities with the option to become priestesses of Elen and dedicate to her at the end of the 8 lessons. References to Celtic, Norse and other ancient spiritual traditions are referred to.
Start at any sabbat and journey through the year from that point.

Moon Magic for Resilience
Manifest, strengthen and release that which you need to in harmony with the moon's phases by creating a healthy resilience practice.
This new, unique course is aligned to the moon's monthly cycle, with the beginning linked to the New Moon and the end linked to the Dark Moon.
There are three main parts with tips and suggestions for the main moon phases.
Part 1 - New Moon, this links you to the energy of your potentiality in the month ahead. With ritual, journeying and practices to expand your confidence in manifesting with the moon.
Part 2 - Full Moon, this supports you in being flexible and resilient with your goals and your expectations. With ritual, journeying and practices to support your wellbeing and self worth.
Part 3 - Dark Moon, this guides you to adjust, review and release that which is not working (such as - blocks to manifesting, limiting beliefs, attachments and stress). With ritual, journeying and practices to enable growth.
Work at your own pace through the month and practice resilience based skills which I have linked to the specific energies of the moon phases.
There will be PDF documents packed full of guidance, inspiration and activities. As well as guided journeys on MP3s
I am a Resilience Practitioner and Wise Woman with many years experience of creating deep healing and enlivening rituals with the moon.

Land, Sea and Sky
A day retreat of Celtic meditations and healing practices at Midsummer.
Land, Sea and Sky are the three sacred realms often referred to in Celtic spiritual traditions. Each realm is linked to one of the three cauldrons or energy centres of the body also. So this will form our key focus for the day.
The space for the retreat, the Four Seasons Studio at Othona, Burton Bradstock, is right at the edge of the sea, with woodland and expansive views of the sky. A perfect space for such a day.
The day will include different types of meditations, all linking to the three realms of Land, Sea and Sky. Including guided journeying and walking meditation on the land next to the studio.
We will be connecting with Celtic allies of these realms and also creating the 'three cauldrons' healing exercise on ourselves to bring in balance and clarity.

Resilience & Spiritual Mentoring
What is Resilience?
Resilience skills
“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good.” – Elizabeth Edwards
Instinctively we use a number of resilience skills in our daily lives. For example being able to manage our feelings and impulses in a healthy manner, without endangering ourselves. However when we become overwhelmed, exhausted, experience depression or just feel the world is too stressful, symptoms such as: irritability, insomnia, feelings of isolation and clinginess, over reaction to regular stresses and persistent ill health can become more frequently experienced.
Resilience is about recovering from or bouncing back from setbacks. In essence it can be part of your spiritual practice and development too.
It can be so valuable to use specific skills to cultivate and sustain Resilience and maintain wellbeing. There are five key areas that are often addressed in sessions (as well as others). These are - self awareness, mindfulness, self care, positive relationships & purpose. Within these five areas, there are a number of skills that can be practiced to ensure that for the most part, you are following a resilient path, not a toxic one.
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” – Helen Keller
Resilience & spiritual mentoring sessions
As a Nature focused practitioner, I link clients to Nature based activity when guiding resilience and spiritual practices. Whether it is Nature based mindfulness, walking with focus and attention to small details around you or creating a healing and sacred ritual in Nature to improve harmony within you.
Using deep listening skills, compassionate prompts and suggestions, we work together to ensure your wellbeing is the priority. Whether it is your mental, emotional, physical or spiritual well being or all of these.
You may need help dealing with a specific situation or some deeper holistic support for your life in general, we create an agreed time frame to work together safely and confidentially to strengthen your resilience.
An initial session will determine the depth and time you wish or need to spend on practising your resilience or developing a spiritual practice.
Cost - My sessions are £35 for an hour session via Zoom or phone call. I offer a reduction on a block booking of 4 sessions for £125, paid and booked in advance. These can be weekly or more spaced apart.
Or you can opt for an email and MP3 approach for support, to reduce the cost. Please enquire for more information on this.
