who am i?
I am a woman (she/her) from Kamo, New Zealand. I am deeply rooted here and consider myself blessed and supported by this beautiful land.
I am a self proclaimed Soul worker, Conduit for Love and Creativity Acolyte.
I believe modern western culture leaves out the soul and finding a way home to ourselves is the work I love. I think Love is where we come from and where we go to and much of what is hard about being human is our longing for Home, the Love that can seem hard to find sometimes. I think Creativity is a gift from Love that helps us remember, connects us back to our origins, our magic and our rightful sense of wonder at being here.
I love the word Numinous: it means being in the presence of the Divine. I think we are all Numinous and that we are just trying to remember how.

Everything I do is based on this fundamental truth;
I believe we all come from and return to the Divine. I understand that each of us bring a unique spark of the Divine into the world and it's our obligation to deliver that into the world. We are all blessed with a longing for the memory of the Divine; the whisper of Home that lingers in our cells. To find the presence of the Divine here, on this miraculous earth in this miraculous body is what it's all about.

my interests are:
The Unconscious,
Creativity,
Kindness
Imperfection.
The unconscious is the force that is on our side that holds what we have not had tools to tend to, that wants us to flourish.
Creativity is the force that reminds us we are the agents of change and understanding in our own lives and it is a way for the unconscious to come to our side.
Kindness is the softening agent in a world that has too many hardnesses. It reminds us of Home.
Imperfection is the essence of being human - we are here to learn and if we were perfect there would be no point.
my lineage is
These are the shoulders on which i stand in no particular order:
My Grandparents - kind, generous, funny, hardworking, story tellers, aware of magic and deeply present to the power of love.
Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés- Jungian analyst, Storyteller, Cantadora, Curandera, Artist. I have studied with Dr Estés at her Mysterium (x2), Heart of the Wounded Healer (x3) workshops
Maeve and Elizabeth

The natural world - particularly Te Tai Tokerau where i live.

I am not....
...a registered anything. Nope, not a therapist, a counsellor or an expert in anything. I come to this work as a woman who has walked a long way to get to a place where each day I feel more whole, each day I practise things that strengthen and aright me. I come to this work with much experience of walking pathways to deep healing and offer you my flame to light your own torch from.
I have studied with Dr Estés and am doing training in Hypnotherapy and Somatic experiencing. I have completed my Healthy Boundaries for Kind People training with Randi Buckley. I have worked as a registered nurse and did youthline counselling in my youth.
If you need someone with lots of papers and letters after their name to feel like you are on the right track then i am not your person.
i AM also not going to lure you with the sense that i have my shit completely and utterly together, composted and already fertilising a designer garden. No minimalist interiors and well behaved children winning prizes and changing history here. Nope. Is my life is perfect and if you get close to me your life, by magical association will get perfected too? Nope. I am a messy woman who is learning and growing as she goes along. I get tired and scared and worried and lonely just like you. I have found ways to help that happen less often and would love to share them with you. I am sweary and I make bad puns and laugh at fart jokes. That's my what you get.

to work with me you need to
- be ready to change
- be willing to do the work. I am a compassionate person and when we make a commitment, I will be on your side. Don't buy something from me because you feel like you should or you feel pressure in any way. Buy it because you are willing to try and up for change, but please know i have no magic wand and can't do it for you. Nothing will change unless you are willing to do the changing.
- ready to identify with your beauty, your magnificence
- open your heart to love
- practise my 3 golden rules; TURN UP BRAVELY, TRUST WHAT ARISES, ADMINISTER DEEP SELF KINDNESS.
- feel a connection to what you read and sense here
How do i work?
I work in group settings both online and in person delivering workshops around Jungian themes; archetypes, mythology, the unconscious.
I see a small number of clients one on one, both in person and online.
I run a long workshop on the shadow self called Facing The Minotaur.
I write blessings on my Numinous Jane facebook page
I run workshops using my "soulmap journaling" process; a way of working with the unconscious and creativity by creating a window for the unconscious on a journal page.
I also do Healthy Boundaries for Kind People work in workshop settings and one on one.
PLEASE RECOGNISE PART OF MY BOUNDARIES ARE THAT I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE MY PHONE OR ACCESS TO MY EMAILS SO I MAY NOT BE RESPONSIVE IMMEDIATELY. THIS ENSURES THAT WHEN I TURN UP I AM IN GOOD SHAPE. THANKS FOR RECOGNISING THAT I CARE ABOUT OUR CONNECTION AND WANT TO TURN UP IN GOOD SHAPE FOR THAT.
