Groups and Workshops
There is a magic when women sit & share together
There is a magic when women sit & share together. It is transformational, it is pure Alchemy.
I run groups and workshops for women in many different settings. My work is transferable and flexible and in addition to my private groups I also offer workshops for both public and private organisations, vulnerable client groups and the general public.
See below for forthcoming and past events, group work and workshops.
Exciting news… see below for this year’s launch dates of a brand new suit of retreats.

Alchemy Women Gathering – 2021 – 2022
A monthly talking therapeutic space for sassy women’s sharing. Closed Group now running until July 2022. If you would like more information on my plans for 2022-2023 contact me.
This Women’s Group is an opportunity to really connect with yourself to share deeply and listen to one another. It’s a safe, creative and fun space where we all get to choose the monthly themes: those which touch our lives and affect us, as women in our past, present and future. Now, more than ever, with the crazy pace of daily life, we need a space and; time to reflect, to hear ourselves, be heard and witnessed in our sharing from the heart. This without judgement, without prejudice.
We also explore ourselves through Cognitive Behavioural and NLP techniques and relaxations using hypnotherapy . These techniques help assist and ease some of the troubles and life patterns in which we can all get a bit stuck.
Call me for a free 20 minute chat to see if this is the group for you on 07769225086.
This is the sixth year of running this closed Women’s Group and I am constantly honoured and amazed by the women I sit with.

Women’s Wellbeing Weekend
Gaunts House September 2018
To celebrate the Autumn Equinox I led a weekend of women’s wellbeing. There was daily yoga and mediation with Jo Pitcher, sacred circle time, chanting and dancing. We explored hormonal health and empowerment and undertook a creative soul journey with Jaci Legge-Elliott. With a Sound Bath on Saturday night with Michelle Beagley.
Some feedback from the weekend
“It has been a complete gift to sit amongst other women, we have universal experiences which are so important to be shared.”
“I have learned a LOT about me this weekend.”
“It felt very safe and contained.”
“Great love and humour.”
“Being validated was so beneficial.”
“I feel deeply privileged to have benefited from your learnings, watch out world!”
“It was empowering, supportive and I learned so much.”
“Thank you for setting up a wonderful, powerful space for transformation.”
“I wasn’t sure what to expect, but oh my gosh, it’s been amazing, I loved every minute of it.”
“It has helped me free some blockages which have had me holding myself back from greatness.”
“I really enjoyed being with women in a non-judgmental supportive way.”
“Just THE best weekend.”
Menopause – When a Woman Becomes Her Power
Online Course – August 2019
Who do you want to be? The Crone; the Wise Woman, Healer & Midwife;
As women, we are not being routinely informed of how to harness our hormonal cycles, either in menstruation or peri & menopause.
This course is for any woman wanting to reclaim themselves during this, potentially, most powerful stage of our womanhood.
Together through our sharings we will explore the physical aspects of peri & menopause, and equally importantly the psychological & spiritual journey of what ultimately defines us as Women.
THE SHAME STOPS HERE.

Women’s Drumming Journeys
I have been called to offer this exploration to women who are seeking a safe place to allow inner knowing and answers to rise to the surface and guide you forward. You don’t need anyone else to tell you what to do. You only need the safe space to hear yourself, where you can rest in your own healing, knowing that you are your own answer.
