Setting tiny little challenges, asking ourselves about our priorities and values brings a deepened sense of self awareness.
I have made it a ritual to sit in the sun. Every morning. For about 10 minutes. I get up before sunrise anyway. I sneak out to the veranda with a cuppa (and lots of layers – it’s been 10 degrees these last few early mornings) and I receive the warmth of the first rays on my face.
I allow myself to feel. To pause and delight in these brief yet so nourishing moments. It always amazes me how powerful, grounding and awe inspiring this feels. To re-arrive, re-connect with the natural order of things.
For me in particular, the need to ground into an archetypal Masculine presence, represented by the Sun, feels quite strong in the moment.
The more I delve into the Feminine 🌚 , both in my work and in my personal journey, the more the balance for the Masculine ☀️ makes itself present.
This balance, once restored, sits on the tip for a moment-in pure presence, until tipped over to one side, once again seeking to be restored.
Through moments of self-awareness and inner knowing. Through listening.
The moments that make our lives.
The energy that comes from such simple yet self-caring practices accumulate over time.
And I find myself full of vitamin D (also for Delight ☀️)
I guess my priority is to offer myself tiny yet frequent moments of delight.

She, who remembers.
I work at the threshold, where psyche speaks in symbols, and the soul remembers. Rooted in Jungian depth psychology and Internal Family Systems, my work invites women and seekers into the quiet, often forgotten places within: the underworlds of grief, the wild terrain of desire, the sacred chambers of the inner child, inner mother, the Shadowlands, and Self.
With a background in women’s heath research, in ritual, and in lived experience spaces, I do not offer diagnosis or treatment, I offer devotion to the unfolding Self. On the threshold of becoming- where we always are.
Through dreams, parts work, myth, and the body, I walk beside those ready to meet themselves fully, fiercely, and tenderly.
This is not fast work. It is sacred work.
It is not about fixing, it is about remembering.
I do not promise certainty.
I promise presence, and a deep trust in the wisdom already within you.
My work is rooted in the wild: in the seasons and the body, in the wisdom of the land, and in the deep ecology of the soul. I honour the personal as political, and the psychological as inseparable from the cultural. Feminism, ecopsychology, and embodied awareness are not add-ons here, they are the soil this work grows from.
I offer one-on-one soulwork sessions, women’s circles, and immersive psychoeducational experiences that weave together depth psychology, parts work, and embodiment. Some of this work unfolds indoors, some in wild places—always with reverence for the wisdom of nature, the nervous system, and the feminine psyche.
Welcome to the HORÓ nest.
I think you might just be ready to re-member your Self.
