Why This Work is so PRECIOUS to my Heart
My story ~ do you see any of yourself within these words?…
The Journey Begins
I began my soul healing journey at 29. I already had enough insight (I’d read it somewhere!) that 29 is the half Saturn Return & whatever you fail to address at this point in your life it likely to come back full throttle at the full Saturn return. Truly, I’m not sure what woke up in me then, but just be reading those words, something had changed, opened & I knew in my heart there was now only one direction I could travel in, and that was out of the shitstorm which was my life & into a more wholesome way of being.
Living in London squats to a buying a flat in Kentish Town, sales assistant to Manager of swanky fashion houses, but life was empty, directionless & highly damaging to my soul.
Drug addiction, self-loathing, emotionally crippled, failing relationship, emotional abuse, narcissistic gaslighter & rape. I wanted to be the one that saved him, failing to understand the basics of life ~ you can only, truly heal yourself, that is your only responsibility in life.
The Quickening
I tried a couple of vague attempts to extricate myself from my own life ~ I sold my flat, left London & friends & moved back into the bosom of my family. I quit the drugs, on my own, but the itch was still present as I'd failed to address any of the core wounds that made self-loathing a daily affair.
Back in London, new job & relationship, I headed into the seedy underbelly of underground raves & twilight living. These relationships, ever more emotionally destabilising than the last but for so many different reasons ~ my belief in myself, & my self-worth plummeted further ~ the dark night of the soul, the deepest place to travel ~ life unravelled even faster this time. No stability or inner control ~ car crash waiting to happen.
And yet, I'd been told by an Astrologer, years before, that when the chips were down, choices few, that "The Cavalry" would always appear from over that hill ~ a sense that I would always be saved, and I held this deep in my psyche & believed it & felt it. It gave me some comfort & inner strength.
Now working in a bar in central London, awash with City types, bouncers, pimps & dealers, I moved back into retail management, a bit of stability for a second, when I found I had conceived. My shaky housing fell through & I moved from place to place, desperate & longing for the father to be part of his daughter's life. Unable to commit, but never for a moment did I waiver in my desire and love to birth this child. My neediness though still knew no bounds & I cringe at the desperate way I threw myself at his feet. Arriving “home” one night in February, blisteringly cold & snowing, I turned the corner of the street to find my belongings dumped in the garden… I cried on that doorstep for what felt like a lifetime ~ surely this was the bottom? Surely there was no place left to fall? The next day I called my area manager, get me out, I need to leave, now, today, tomorrow & he did, he helped me find my way home.
That's nearly 30 years ago now & my heart is forever grateful to the soul, my daughter that arrived, like the cavalry, to play her part in my recovery & bring me back into myself. She is the deepest blessing, the most profound of souls and we have weaved many, many lifetimes together. Saskia xx
Consciously Evolving
I studied Astrology, & changed career, moving into the holistic healing world, to pour balm into my heart & maybe to help others.
Energy Healing & holistic healing & every other thing that was available, I lapped it up as I began to realise, I had an affinity for this work & how it supported my own healing journey.
What I had failed to understand, until quite recently, was my sensitivity, my ability to be able to read energy, from the time I arrived here on this earth (all the way back to preconception infact) & how instead of it being recognised by others, cherished & fostered, it was used a tool against me, the "she's too sensitive" label, its consequence, was the inability to feel safe in my body, I wasn't able to trust what my body felt, because I was continually told I got it wrong.
Full Circle
My journey has been slow & arduous, never once would I change it, but my dreams & desires are to support you so that your journey to self love & sovereignty are less gruelling & more self-assured. Energy and consciousness flow has evolved. What once took years of dedicated self-work & guidance, money & determination, can now be achieved, often in the moment. I have witnessed countless women move through their woundings, shame, self sabotage & self-destruction, because we have so much more in terms of higher frequency available. Energy medicine and womb connection remain the bedrock of my life and work. Menstrual cycle awareness is the cornerstone, the very foundation on which our feminine energy rests.
As ever on this journey, I seek to continue with my inner work at the forefront - my ever deepening connection to my womb space is central. Over this last year she has shared THE deepest core wound - The Priestess WOUND. When the time is right, this will be shared as my sense is that because the story begins in prehistory, thus the karmic web affects many on a cellular level. At its heart is betrayal of sister to sister and the masculine to the feminine.
Maybe you resonant with my journey, maybe it's partly yours, or maybe you just know intuitively, that I have lived & moved from survival into healing & that there will be no judgement, no disempowerment, that my heart is big & that I have developed skills to nurture your soul and that together, we can co create & lead you into the life that you were always destined to live, the one you dream of and the one you DESIRE within every vibrating cell of your being.
From Heart to Heart, Womb to Womb, I see you dear sister
