Welcome to my small piece of the vast World Wide Web!

There’ll be a reason you are here, idle scrolling, internet algorithms, someone suggested you look me up or you asked me for a little more information perhaps. Whatever the reason I’m glad you’ve dropped in!!

I have learned, and am still learning, how to hold space for myself and others. I invite you to pause and take a breath. Notice whatever is present for you right now in this present moment. Take another breath, a little deeper this time. It’s beneficial to slow down and pause for a few breaths, for as long as feels good and be present to yourself and your surroundings in this moment and allow yourself to arrive, step out from the whirlwind of life and land in the present and notice what you notice about how you are.

Holding space underpins all that I do. I practice it for myself so that I am resourced for myself before looking outwards to offer to others. That is a big transformation from the way I operated for many years! While I coach, am in a Reiki session and during a Weleda consultation I am holding space for the person(s) I am with as well as for myself.

These past two years I have been collaborating with one of my teachers, Joey Walters, the founder of Rising Connected and other women trained by her to pass on the skills and experience of holding sacred space in circle. We have co-created a programme that has been a rich way of learning, weaving experience and wisdom together for the participants to find their own path to holding space in circle. The Power of Circle began in April 2024 and was a foundation in holding space for self. In 2024 and into 2025 the next level of training has been learning to hold space in circle. I was inspired to work with a local business owner, who provided a venue for me to facilitate Circles in person locally. That was a nourishing experience and I realised the logistics didn’t quite work at that time. A learning I have had has been to be unattached and to lean into trust that all things unfold perfectly and at the right time. I am gestating a plan to create an online programme for those who would like to join me in circle. As I write I feel it will be a series so that a container is built for participants to enrol and meet regularly over a period of time with the same participants which will create a rhythm and a safe container woven together over time. It’s exciting to write that out and to be curious about how it will unfold and who will be part of it.

Rising Connected offers a community of support to those who step forward to go on their own personal journey. If you’re feeling intrigued about me holding space for you 1:1 or about joining Rising Connected I am more than happy for you to get in touch with me so we can speak about it. Within Rising Connected we offer regular Women’s Fires that you are warmly invited to attend. You can find out more at: https://www.risingconnected.com/
