Welcome to my nook ~ stay, play, fly away, come on back another day 🧹
For many moons I have helped people navigate change, from chronic pain and sleep difficulties to confidence, habit change, performance and personal growth.
This equates to a gazillion years of hypnotising combined with crone magic, spells, glitter, chaos, wheels, and sticks. Aided and abetted by the husband, Mick: doer of caring, not the carer ✨
The tools of my trade include my voice, the written word, tarot cards, Reiki and hypnosis.
I think writing about myself in the third person is silly, so I will not do it. I would much rather talk to you directly.
If you are seeking support through hypnotherapy, tarot or a little practical magic, you are in the right place 🪄

How shall we work together?
🔸 Private Muse Sessions ~ Confidential one-to-one sessions designed to help you gain clarity, overcome obstacles and create meaningful change.
Alongside your sessions, you will also receive personalised support through Signal voice notes and messages. All sessions are held online. No availability at present.
🔸 Bespoke Recordings ~ A personally written and recorded hypnotic meditation created around your circumstances, goals and preferences.
Includes a written transcript, journal prompts and accompanying resources. No availability at present.
🔸 Oracle Insights ~ When you need a fresh perspective, want to untangle a situation or have a question that keeps circling your mind, Oracle Insights can help you see things differently. I use oracle cards as a starting point for reflection, not fortune telling. Your reading is personal, practical and created just for you.
Includes a written reading, card interpretations, journalling prompts, a personal audio message and an accompanying resource chosen to complement your reading. No availability at present.
🔸 Reiki ~ I offer distance Reiki. At the arranged time, I will send you a voice note to let you know I am beginning. You are welcome to relax into meditation and be open to receiving the Reiki energy, although there is nothing you need to do if you would rather not. The Reiki will still flow just the same. No availability at present.

༻ ༺
Q: How do you combine the clinical with the esoteric?
A: Carefully, ethically, with both feet and wheels on the ground.
My clinical work is rooted in training, experience and practical therapeutic tools. The esoteric side brings in symbolism, intuition, story, ritual and meaning. I see them as companions rather than opposites.
Short answer: With style, substance and a little panache ✨
༻ ༺
Q: Can you magically improve my golf?
A: Yes I can. Except you do the work.
༻ ༺
Q: Are you really a Muse?
A: Yes, this has become my title over the years as my way of working does not fit a specific box designed by someone else.

Here I am talking about hypnnotherapy, tarot and withcraft with a twist x
Here are a few of the modalities that I use:
● Hypnotherapy/self-hypnosis to give you a tool for life
● Coaching is a multi-faceted holistic approach to life in general or to work through specific issues or difficulties
● NLP is neuro-linguistic programming. This is a selection of teachable tools that can be practised with or without other disciplines
● CBT is cognitive behavioural therapy. This is about acknowledging what is happening and doing something different to elicit change. Repeating behaviours creates alternative neural pathways and forms new habits
● Meditation and mindfulness is being 'in the now' in a calm controlled manner
● Stress management helps you notice triggers or reactions that you might not want
Generally I dip and blend depending on your needs.
