Hello my love, welcome.
I'm Caroline - or Carmen - you can call me either. I'm an embodiment coach and modern-day priestess, and my heart-led soul mission is to support you to stand in your power...to feel truly alive, to rediscover pleasure and fulfilment, and to help you heal and alchemise old wounds and trauma on the path of finding your true, powerful self.
Through womb work, embodiment techniques, deep healing, dance, ritual and sacred celebration, I hold deeply nurturing and safe spaces, to help you come home to yourself through a range of offerings.
As a ceremonial priestess and sacred space holder, I offer a range of ways to hold you deeply through rites of passage and major life changing circumstances.
More about my story....
I have done many different things in my time, from linguist to corporate finance advisor, and finance director - truly deep in the corporate world. And then 11 years ago, I went through one of those "tower moments" that we all experience at some point in our lives, where everything falls apart.
Or actually, maybe it was all coming together. It was like waking up! In the past 12 years I have gone through a total death and rebirth process - several times in fact! And what I mean is I found the strength to leave an extremely difficult marriage, to restart my life, to heal and transform, to walk away from things that were destroying me and to rediscover life again.
It may sound odd, but I attribute a lot of the strength I had to discovering burlesque as a hobby. It reawakened my inner primal goddess, my inner power. I suddenly remembered who I was! During that time I also re-found my way back to my spirituality. I dusted off my tarot cards and reconnected with my inner witch, who I had been ignoring since my early 20s. I began to deepen more and more, completing qualifications in Reiki, massage, life coaching, aromatherapy, chakra healing, kundalini dance, tantra and so much more. Then in 2017 I started my holistic therapy business, held my first women's circle and I began to teach body confidence classes.
I also started working on the Spiritual care team at my local hospice, supporting patients and their families and became deeply passionate about helping people through the last months, days and hours of this lifetime. To do this work and be this soul companion is truly one of my greatest honours.
And then 6 years ago I heard the call of the Priestess path - the path of love....the Goddess was calling me home. It was one of those "ping" moments, where suddenly everything made sense and clicked into place, and I realised that this was the thing I had been looking for. But deeper than that, this was an ancient remembrance from deep in my DNA and deep in my past lives. I've been training, studying and remembering in the Priestess Presence Temple and 13 Moon Mystery School of Sacred Arts since then. It has been a journey of deep personal healing as well as training sacred arts such as anointing, space holding and becoming a temple guide. I am also deeply honoured to be a lead mentor in the Rosa Mystica Scent Priestess Mystery School.
One of my great realisations - or remembrances - on this path is to have awakened to the fact that I am deeply connected to my sacred sexuality, to womb healing and the blood mysteries...that this deep connection to my body and the power and wisdom she holds, is in my blood, my bones, my dna.
Practises that I had been doing all my life instinctively, have their roots in ancient womb practises. We all have a wombspace even if we don't have a physical womb, and this womb or energetic womb is the seat of our power, our creativity, and so much more. And once we tap into the true power of this...everything changes! I have since trained as a womb healing practitioner in order to be able to fully offer this powerful and incredible healing to women everywhere. You can find out more about this by clicking here.
Now, in 2024, I am delighted to be bringing all of my training together to help women overcome abuse and trauma, to reconnect to their life force, to rediscover pleasure, to trust their intuition and truly stand as sovereign Queens, through ceremony, ritual, deep healing, womb work, sacred dance and celebration!!
In addition, one of my deepest joys is ritual and ceremony, and I am honoured to have performed many beautiful ceremonies to honour important rites of passage such as handfasting ceremonies, end of life and passing over ceremonies, womb blessing ceremonies, divorce ceremonies, menarchy and so much more. There is a special power in ceremony that has long been forgotten in our culture, and I am deeply committed to reviving this as an alternative to the "traditional" ways in which our society does things.
