The Path of the Medicine Woman!
The path of the medicine woman is not paved with flowers and incense. It is a road of fire, of ashes, of rising again and again when life has stripped you bare!
I have walked through betrayals that cut me to the core!
I have known the grief of loss so heavy it took my breath away!
I have stood humiliated, defiled, abandoned, dismissed and still, I rose!
I did not choose these experiences.
No child or woman should ever have to endure the things I have faced in my lifetime and yet, I did!
I lived them!
Survived them! And have over time, slowly transmuted them!
What once felt like unbearable pain has become the very medicine I now carry! In earlier incarnations I called myself, The Diamond Detective, and dedicated my life to helping others transform their darkness into light. To turn what ever experiences they had to something of value to offer the world.
Because this is what the medicine woman does:
She takes the heaviness of betrayal and shows that trust can be reborn!
She takes the loneliness of abandonment and turns it into belonging!
She takes the ashes of grief and weaves them into a sacred fire that warms and guides others who stumble in the dark!
My scars are not marks of shame; they are my sacred initiations! Each one a passage! Each one a reminder of what it takes to keep breathing when everything inside you wants to give up!
This is my medicine, which is NOT learned from books, NOT handed down in neatly tied in ribbons, but carved into my bones and etched into my heart!
When you sit with me, I am not a woman offering you theory, I am a woman who has walked through the fire and lived to tell the tale. I know the taste of humiliation, the sting of betrayal and the weight of grief. And because I know it, I can hold you in it without fear, without judgment, without rushing you to "get over it."
The path of the medicine woman is tough, it is not glamorous, it is not easy, it has been harrowing at times, and yet, it is truly sacred, no matter which way you look at it!
It is the path of transmutation!
The path of remembrance!
The path of walking ahead so that when others arrive at their own dark night of the soul, there is a lantern lit to show them the way through!
This is my way forward: To help others carry what feels unbearable until they, too can find their own strength! To help you transmute the heaviness, the grief, the betrayal, the loss, so you can rise from your ashes, not broken, but reborn!
If you are here reading these words, perhaps it is because your soul is whispering that it is time?
Time to release what has been weighing you down?
Time to step into the light of your own becoming?
And if so, know this: you are not alone, I have walked this path before you, and I am here ready to walk beside you.
If these words stir something in you… if you feel the weight of past betrayal, grief, or loss pressing heavy on your heart… know that you don’t have to walk this path alone.
I hold space for women who are ready to remember their own strength, their own medicine, their own light.
Together, we soften what feels unendurable, and slowly, step by step, transmute it into wisdom and clarity.
If you are ready to begin your journey of transmutation, I invite you to step forward.
You can book a time to sit with me, heart to heart, through this link.
The time is now, the lantern is lit and your true path is waiting, you are more ready than you know!
