The Time of Shedding is Almost Done

 

Happy New Year! I hope yours is off to a wonderful start. If it’s starting out slowly, like mine is, take heart.

According to the Chinese calendar, we’re still in the Year of the Snake for 6 more weeks. Snake is all about shedding, renewal and regeneration - before the rebirth.

Get ready for the Year of the Horse!

As 2025 ended, I was intending to jump into being visible - back onto social media and launching new offerings.

I’m excited because I’ve been shown visions of where we are headed. I’m being told it’s time to bring in the return of Mother Divine’s presence by stepping into visibility and leadership.

I’m not the only one. You may feel the call into leadership too – in your family, in your community, or on a bigger stage.

As a woman, you have a special capacity to create a better world - because your womb is a portal of creation. (This applies to you, even if you’ve had a hysterectomy).


If you feel the call to leadership, you may be inspired - and absolutely terrified.

Your inner children who feel safe playing small may be screaming. The ancestors may be blocking you in an effort to protect. And past life trauma can surface - all the times you were beheaded and hanged for speaking out. 

But we’ll get through it together: de-programming the people pleaser, healing the mother wound, releasing the trauma of generations of suppressed female ancestors, activating womb power - so that we rise and create a better world for the next generations.  


If you’re going through a process of death and rebirth, you’re not alone. It may help to set aside time each day to nurture your feminine creativity and pleasure. Dance. Sing. Walk in nature. Play an instrument.

I’m learning to play the handpan with Malte Marten - whose method is all about expressing from the heart and through the body. Check out his music!

We can expect big changes kicking off on February 17 with the Chinese Year of the Horse. Get ready for the energy of inspiration, boldness, and rapid change.

You’ll likely feel motivated to break free of outdated patterns, have the courage to take risks and pursue new paths. Bring it on!

In the meantime, I’m still available. Just moving slowly like a snake in winter.

You can book a private Family Constellation to clear the family and ancestral trauma that affects your life now.

And we're taking bookings for Personal Healing Retreats starting in March.
