CYCLES Remembering the wisdom of the cycles, remembering the practice of rituals

A Chukchee proverb declares: "Woman is by nature a shaman". By essence as women, we are fertile, sexual, hormonal, cyclical beings. With this physiology, we have both the natural ability and monthly opportunities to transform ourselves, our family and our communities.

  • Remember the heart of who you are as a woman
  • Remember the wisdom of the cycles
  • Ground yourself with simple rituals
  • Transform yourself with awareness and flow

SOUL CARE Ceremonies

Soul care is about allowing your spirit to guide you and nourish you. Soul care addresses what truly matters to your heart. During a time of deep change or challenge, you are presented with an opportunity to draw from your soul and spirit. Ceremonies are a way to honour and engage with that process.

  • Create a personalized and soulful ceremony
  • Honor a threshold when your life can’t return to what it was before the event
  • Celebrate women rites of passage

MEDICINE DRUM

Are you hearing the call to:

  • Experience a drum journey meditation?
  • Experience shamanic drumming during a ceremony?
  • Make your own medicine drum?

The ancient call of the medicine drum can be a very personal experience.

For some of us it relaxes us, connects us with the earth, it reminds us of the time in our mother’s womb, being soothed by her heartbeat for 9 months.

For others, it’s a reclaiming of the ancient feminine. Layne Redmond in her book When The Drummers Were Women, highlighted the fact that women were once the predominant players of drums and were once honoured and valued as leaders for childbirth, rites of passage, and other ceremonies.

Emilie supported me throughout my first pregnancy, with my daughter. She is a supportive, compassionate and wise guide – one who gently encouraged me to uncover and work with my fears, my past grief and my own shadows to heal and engage in an empowered and life-changing birth.

- Tegan

The work I did with Emilie was incredibly profound. I was seeking a shift in myself, and a deeper understanding of my life and deeper understanding of pregnancy. Emilie supported me in all these areas. She supported me to journey within, so I could understand myself in ways that I needed to prepare for my next baby. She introduced me to a whole new way of seeing pregnancy and birth and it was because of her I chose to have a home birth which turned out to be one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

- Oneewa

My birth was an awakening and breaking opening journey, one that allowed me to shed all stories and step into a new being of myself. Thank you for everything you do, and providing the spaces for transitions and release.

- Sam

Attending Emilie’s new moon circle was the first time I experienced that glimpse into the feminine, healing, transformative, lunar energy that resides within me as well as everywhere in nature. It opened up a whole new realm of experiencing living, feeling and being. It was the catalyst that kick started my journey towards gathering the bits and pieces of my injured soul and making sense of it all. Thank you Emilie.

- Crystal

Rather than tolerate my role of motherhood, working with Emilie helped me to uncover some of the unexpected superpowers that came to me by being a mum – like validating feelings (my own and others) and finding my voice. Now I move forward through the world strongly and confidently. Emilie has a wealth of resources to create a ceremony that is tailored to your needs and intent.
