Threshold Facilitation & Mentorship
Midwifing the Crossroads
There are times in our lives when having a guide or facilitator can be beneficial in navigating change and when meeting thresholds and initiations such as birth, death, grief or major life changes.
I offer lived wisdom and embodied intuition from my own life’s walk, working with the tools of story, myth, symbol, archetype, tarot, ritual and ceremony.
The support I offer includes counsel, reflection, various tools and offerings, including the creation of bespoke ceremony and ritual, that are personalised and responsive to you and what you are meeting and navigating in your life.
You may be readying for motherhood, or tending to the birth of something new in your life, supporting a loved one at the end of life, navigating loss and change or desire tools to navigate a liminal time or period of transformation.
These sessions can be conducted in person in Hobart/Nipaluna or online. Head here to read more about my life’s walk and what led me to this work, see below for more information or get directly in touch here.
Rites of Passage-
The rite of passage of giving birth and becoming a Mother is life-changing. Becoming a Mother is one of the greatest transformations a woman will experience in her life. In meeting this threshold many understand the transition as the symbolic death of the Maiden and the birth of the Mother. This presents an opportunity to release, give thanks, grieve and shed anything that can no longer come with us, as we cross the threshold into Motherhood.
Bringing awareness, consciousness and tending to these parts of self can support us in the physical birth of our child, alongside preparing us for the emotional, spiritual and psychological shift from Maiden to Mother. The experience of birth is not just physical; it is mystical, emotional, spiritual and psychological. I offer guidance and witness in meeting, and embodying both the challenges and gifts latent in this rite of passage, alongside illuminating your own innate wisdom.
I work with individuals to offer guidance and support in meeting all aspects of becoming a mother, including approaching the threshold of birth and supporting the postpartum period.
This can include the exploration and tending of your own birth imprint, considering your options and choices for birth and your circle of support, meeting any fears, worries or challenges and making space for any grief and concerns arising at this threshold.
The shape that this takes is dependent on each client and their particular needs. This can include weaving counsel, conversation, storytelling, myth, symbolism, dreamwork, tarot as a reflective practice, guided contemplation, and bespoke ritual or ceremony.
My role is to accompany you as you cross one of life's most significant thresholds, creating space to honour both the visible and invisible dimensions of becoming a mother.

Meeting and supporting the death of a loved one is a life-altering experience. It is also a very human and shared experience. The tending and care of the dying has historically been a communal, shared process, and one that predominantly existed in our homes and communities. This was often supported by a mid-wife to guide and accompany the walk towards this threshold, alongside the meeting of all that arises when moving through such a rite of passage.
We are returning to and remembering how to be with our dead and expanding our options for what is best for the dying person, alongside the family and community that surrounds and supports them.
Death is an invitation to life, and death and grief are powerful teachers. Often the death of a loved one can bring much repressed and past grief to the surface, offering a potent invitation to meet, allow and transform all that is surfacing. Grief is praise and can shape our lives in potent and inspiring ways.
I offer support in the meeting and navigating of this threshold for both the dying and their families, alongside offering tools for navigating grief and the remembering and celebrating of our dead.
The shape that this takes is dependent on each client and their particular needs. This can include counsel, understanding your options and services available, alongside the creation of ceremony and ritual to support the grieving process and honouring of the dead.

The only constant in life is change, and life will continuously present us with major life changes in order to initiate us and to support our growth. Life invites each of us to cross thresholds. Some are chosen, others arrive unexpectedly, inviting us to let go of what has been, to embody a liminal period, before we can see and understand what is emerging. A relationship ends. A vocation changes. Children leave home. Menopause initiates profound change and rebirth. An identity moves through a symbolic death.
These transitions often bring uncertainty, grief, growth and questions about who we are becoming. They can also become profound invitations to listen more deeply to ourselves and to meet life with greater awareness and compassion.
Rather than rushing towards certainty or trying to change what is unfolding, one can honour what is ending, become curious about what is emerging, and meet the unknown and liminal with courage.
Viewed through this lens, we can meet major life changes more willingly and contemplate the opportunities inherent within them.
I offer grounded guidance through times of transition and life’s initiations, meeting change and tending to any grief, fear and uncertainty that presents itself.
Each person's walk is unique, and the shape that this takes is dependent on each client and their particular needs. This can include weaving counsel, conversation, storytelling, myth, symbolism, dreamwork, tarot as a reflective practice, guided contemplation, and bespoke ritual or ceremony, to support the change being navigated.
