I LOVE sharing ancient & modern practices that nourish, uplift & connect Us. The things our Ancestors have enjoyed for millennia that help us thrive in a harmonious relationship with each other & the land.
In our "Together We Rise"groups we cultivate a caring community that honours a deep connection to our Earth. She holds us, grounds us & shows us what truly matters.
"When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realise that one cannot eat money." Attributed to an unknown Native American.

I love 'holding space' for men and women to relax into the ground of their Being and discover that as you are right now, you are more than enough.
Radical Self Acceptance arises from Mindful Compassion, Being Present with our Darkness & our Light. As the Light of Consciousness shines on the places in ourselves we have denied, repressed and even hated we naturally expand into a bigger version of ourselves that includes EVERYTHING. Inner conflict dissolves in the realisation All is One. For many this realisation comes through Suffering when the Ego can no longer hold onto the idea of who we are.
I have taught in schools, psychiatric hospitals, a convent and a men's prison. Having faced my own demons I am well equipped to support others in crisis.
You maybe ticking along nicely with perhaps a vague feeling that something's missing. You maybe struggling with Addiction, a Relationship, a Job. You maybe celebrating. Whatever you are going through.
Our Groups welcome you, as you are.
In my teaching I am dedicated to inspiring people to ask the question "Who am I?" To be less interested in their old stories & wake up to the incredible, powerful, beautiful, wild and natural human beings that they already are. I feel the World needs Us to come Home to ourselves.
I have found embodied practice is a powerful tool for healing trauma, changing destructive, addictive habits & supporting integration of Spirit & Flesh.
In 2014 I co founded the Shamanican Women's Circle with a dear Soul Sister Miriam Martin. We LOVE honour and respect the wisdom of indigenous peoples.
Our Circles support women to reclaim their Wild intuitive Nature, as Caretakers of our Earth. It is a Joy to witness people stepping into their power and sharing their beautiful, unique essence in the world. We are hugely blessed to have a gorgeous venue at the Retreat New Forest where we Dance, Drum, Sing, share Silence & Stories & laugh A LOT!
This year we are planning to do more mixed groups that bring men and women together, still with a shamanic focus. We feel it's time.
I'm still learning... presently deepening my knowledge of Andean shamanic healing practices with the "Spirit of the Inca" & deepening my. knowlege of the Spirit of Sacred Plant Medicines with Fredy Puma Quispe Singona.
My latest passion is holding Cacao Circles with Spirit Dance & facilitating a year long Cacao Circle Training and Healing Journey at the Retreat New Forest.
Mamma Cacao is a magical, heart opening plant medicine & compliments the beautiful Andean Shamanic Wisdom Teachings received from Fredy Puma Quispe Singona & Joe Molloy.
When not working I love being with my two beautiful daughters. They have taught me that Love holds Everything.
“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: "When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?”

"Christina has a wealth of knowledge and brings the Andean and Peruvian teachings so beautifully into the cacao training. Christina holds such a safe space, in which I feel so seen and heard. And her passion is infectious! The cacao training has given me new tools that I have used on my own personal healing journey and the ancient wisdom I've learnt has been so fascinating. I even had the confidence to hold my own cacao ceremony! My relationship with Cacao and myself has deepened dramatically over the last 6 months, and I feel very grateful for the supportive space. I'd highly recommend Christina's cacao trainings to anyone who is curious, Thank you 💕".. Hannah
Christina holds such beautiful circles, her energy is captivating. I’ve been attending the cacao training for 8 months now and have learned so much and gained the confidence to start my own circles. I would highly recommend Christina’s training and circles to EVERYONE!!!". ...Vikki
"A couple of weeks ago I held a cacao ceremony for 100 people - sometimes I still can't quite believe that I really did it! It was a significant step up from anything I'd previously done and it went very well. All of the beautiful training you gave me really showed up, so thank you for that. And here was me thinking that I was doing the cacao training just for myself!". ...Becky
