As a psychologist specialising in myth and the deep imagination, I’m passionate about helping people to uncover and step into rich new visions for their lives.
Our ancient Western wisdom traditions tell us that it’s through exercising the embodied and emplaced imagination – through working with myth, archetypes, dreams, fairy tales, and through exploring creative and expressive practices – that we can come to understand our purpose in this life, weave ourselves back into the land where our feet are planted, and come to feel a sense of belonging to this beautiful, animate Earth in which we’re so deeply enmeshed.
This Mythic Life is a unique, ongoing membership program and virtual learning space which guides you to revive these old enchantments, to unlock the magic of the everyday, and which supports you while you’re delving deep into the mysteries of wild psyche. With live webinars, workbooks, a private forum, audio downloads and an exclusive podcast, This Mythic Life will help you to unlock the magic of the everyday.

‘If women remember that once upon a time we sang with the tongues of seals and flew with the wings of swans, that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants, then we will rise up rooted, like trees.
And if we rise up rooted, like trees … well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world.’
