Dear beautiful souls,
What can I share with you about who I am? The labels and identities I put on in the first half of my life tell you little about my hearts desire or what is most important to me. While carrying the qualification of a psychologist, inside I resonant with the archetype of the crone, wise women and healer.
If you choose to sit with me I can offer you:
Sacred presence so you can find the answers that are waiting to be heard deep within yourself.
My heart that is full of compassion and will be moved even by your unacknowledged grief, sadness and pain.
My regulated nervous system so you can find safety and healing in your nervous system.
My belly energy, the fire of truth that comes with the age of the crone, if you too are open to rekindling that fire in your belly.
My years of experience and wisdom being a daughter, a mother, a partner, a trauma survivor, a spiritual seeker and an embodied women. The latter I have reclaimed with great ferocity.
Together we can touch into your longings and untangle from the deep conditioning and wounds that keep you stuck.
I choose to no longer work within the confines of traditional medicine. Therapy cannot be prescriptive and I am not the expert who can fix you. This is a patriarchal concept that robs you of your knowing. The medical system views souls through a lens of pathology and you my lovelies are not broken.
The journey back to essence is a shedding and reclaiming all in one. It takes courage to enter into the unknown realm inside and it would be my honour to walk alongside you on this path.
With love, Dianna
