Frequently Asked Questions
General Feminine Empowerment and Spirituality
The purpose of the Awakened Woman is to embody and express the profound wisdom, strength, and compassion inherent in feminine energy. She inspires others by living her truth, showing that it’s possible to be both strong and tender, assertive and compassionate, loving and fierce. She knows that her journey is not just about personal growth; it’s about uplifting others and creating a community where authenticity is celebrated. Through her actions, she creates a ripple effect, encouraging those around her to step into their own light and embrace their true selves.
An Awakened Woman is here to expose the shadows - whether they be societal injustices, personal limitations, or emotional wounds - encouraging healing and transformation. By shining a light on these areas, the Awakened Woman includes herself in the journey and invites individuals and communities to confront their fears and biases, cultivating greater understanding and connection.
She teaches the world what love truly means: a powerful force that encompasses radical honesty, acceptance, and empathy. For the Awakened Woman, loving in the most truthful way sometimes requires a fierce commitment to authenticity and justice that challenges the status quo. Being an exposer of shadows and a teacher of true love is not an easy or comfortable path; it demands immense courage and deep trust in a higher essence within herself. Through her actions and presence, she inspires a shift towards more authentic, compassionate relationships and a harmonious world.
The Divine Feminine refers to a broad concept and spiritual archetype that embodies the sacred feminine energy across spiritual and religious traditions. It includes qualities traditionally associated with femininity - intuition, creativity, nurturing, compassion, and wisdom and is often seen as complementary to the Divine Masculine. Both energies work in tandem to create spiritual balance and harmony.
Across cultures, the Divine Feminine is often personified through goddesses, such as:
- Mother Mary in Christianity symbolising purity and compassion.
- Shakti in Hinduism representing the primal creative energy.
- Isis in Ancient Egyptian mythology representing magic and motherhood.
- Kwan Yin in Buddhism embodying compassion and mercy.
The Ancient Future is a concept that acknowledges the interconnectedness of ancient wisdom and modern life. It encourages exploration of various spiritual traditions, emphasising the importance of understanding our roots to navigate contemporary challenges. The knowledge of our ancestors teaches us to focus on themes such as community, spirituality, and personal empowerment. This guidance helps us pursue a more harmonious existence while opening new paths for future generations. By integrating these ancient teachings, we advocate for a holistic approach to personal growth and societal healing, inviting us to reclaim our heritage and embrace a future informed by the wisdom of the past. Read more in my article "The Ancient Future".
My approach honours both spiritual wisdom and scientific understanding. I integrate ancient esoteric knowledge with modern research on women’s health and psychology. This blend helps ground spiritual practices in real-world applications, creating a holistic path for healing and transformation.
Menstruality and Womb Wisdom
Menstruality, originally coined by Jane Catherine Severn, and built on by my Mentors at the Red School: The Future of Feminine Spirituality and Leadership, provides a holistic framework for understanding and honouring the experiences and transitions that women go through in relation to our menstrual cycle. Menstruality acknowledges the significance of these initiations; menarche, our menstruating years, menopause and our mature stages of life, we are invited into a deeper exploration of the physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions of womanhood. Menstruality embodies is a psychological death and rebirth that happens each menstrual month, opening the door to expanded levels of consciousness.
YES! If you have an irregular cycle, it's even more important for you to track your cycle. More times than not, women find that once they begin tracking their cycle, it returns to a more normal length. Regardless of the length of your cycle, you are still able to track your cycle and learn how to navigate your life with more understanding and compassion.
If your cycle has gone missing, you're not pregnant, breastfeeding, or post menopausal, you can still track your cycle and follow the moon cycle. Your cycle can disappear for a number of reasons. Bringing awareness to your cycle in such a focused way and looking at your lifestyle choices may restore a healthy relationship and attitude towards your cycle. Through my work in this field, I've observed women start bleeding again after a time of absence.
Reproductive Health and Special Conditions
Absolutely. When you suffer from reproductive health issues such as endometriosis, fibroids and PCOS, it can often feel like nothing will help to alleviate the physical and emotional pain. In my late 20s, I developed a number of menstrual health issues and pre-cancerous cells in my cervix so I understand how you may be feeling.
Endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS and many other menstrual related issues have been characterised as conditions of inflammation. Inflammation is primarily caused by toxins that enter our body by way of the food we eat, the air we breathe and the products we use. Stress, unresolved ancestral and our own trauma may cause the body to trigger/maintain stress-responsive systems over longer periods of time which can cause inflammation. Experience has taught me that there are natural ways to heal from this. Menstrual Cycle Awareness and looking at the foods, drinks, beauty and household products you use are the best ways to do this.
The reason you take hormonal contraception may be for contraception or to reduce menstrual problems. While it’s imperative that you have reliable contraception and a way to manage your suffering, hormonal contraception stops your natural cycle and replaces it with synthetic hormones.
Some women say they do feel the inner seasons when on hormonal contraception, some say they don't feel them at all. You know your own body more than anyone so I would suggest tracking your cycle to try to learn more about yourself. If you remain on hormonal contraception and wish to take our course, you are welcome to do so. But please be aware that because you are experiencing a synthetic cycle, you may not be able to get to experience the fullness and utter beauty of who you are.

It gives some context to what you may be experiencing along with providing further guidance and resources to best support you during this new stage in your life.
Cryptocurrency
A cryptocurrency is a type of digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies, it operates independently of a central bank and is decentralised.
While cryptocurrencies themselves are secured using strong cryptography, users must take precautions, such as using secure wallets and being cautious of phishing scams and fraudulent schemes.
Cryptocurrency can be volatile and carries risk, like any investment. While some people have made significant gains, others have lost money. It’s essential to do thorough research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Learning about cryptocurrency is important for several reasons, especially as digital currencies and blockchain technology continue to reshape the financial landscape. Here are some key reasons why understanding crypto is valuable:
Digital Transformation of Money: Cryptocurrencies represent a fundamental shift in how we think about and use money. As the world becomes increasingly digital, understanding how cryptocurrencies work is essential for staying informed about the future of finance.
Decentralisation: Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies are decentralised and not controlled by any central bank or government. Learning how decentralised finance (DeFi) works is crucial for understanding how financial systems may evolve in the coming years.
Blockchain Technology: Cryptocurrencies are built on blockchain, which is a revolutionary technology with applications beyond just digital currency. Blockchain is already being used in supply chain management, healthcare, voting systems, and more. Understanding crypto helps you grasp the potential of blockchain technology and its wider impact on various industries.
Avoiding Common Pitfalls: The world of crypto is still relatively new, and with this novelty comes a variety of scams and frauds. Learning about cryptocurrencies, how they work, and how to identify trustworthy platforms will help protect you from potential losses. Understanding crypto will help you recognise warning signs of fraud, such as phishing attacks, Ponzi schemes, and fraudulent ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings).
Learning about cryptocurrency is not just about understanding how digital currencies work; it’s about gaining insight into a rapidly growing field that is poised to influence a wide range of industries and the global economy. By educating yourself about crypto, you can make more informed decisions, take advantage of investment opportunities, protect your financial future, and be part of an exciting new technological and economic shift. Whether for personal use, investment, or professional growth, knowledge of cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly important in today's digital world.
It can take anywhere from a few months to a few years to see a significant return on investment (ROI). Crypto investing is a long-term strategy and whilst many people use it to earn short term gains, this is not what I teach or encourage. The market experiences a bull run approximately every four years, and currently (end 2024/start 2025), we are in a bull year, which usually means opportunities for profit. However, gains are never guaranteed, as all trading carries risk so you must be aware of how investing works.
