About UsSometimes in life you meet someone who not only sees you as you are, but who invites you to be more of yourself. This is what we have found in one another, and our deep and full-hearted support for each other’s individuation remains at the very heart of our working relationship, as it has done from the very earliest days of our friendship. Situated on opposite sides of the world - Amy in Scotland and Kathleen in California - we weave our energy, our ideas, our art, our stories across the miles and between the timezones, constantly tending to the fabric of our friendship as it grows and strengthens, becoming ever more vivid, ever more vibrant. Both leaders of women’s groups, we are devoted to supporting the creative sovereignty of those who are consciously crafting lives of depth and integrity and truth, and in this new offering, we are combining the wealth of our wisdom, our experience, and our compassion to bring the richness of our way of engaging with the wild forces of nature as they move around us and through us.

First and foremost, I am a woman who is on a journey of self-discovery driven by a desire to self-express through the media of writing and photography. A writer, a mother, a teacher, a lover, a gentle warrior, a sensualist and occasional hedonist, I am not content to leave this life half-lived. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, I support my 3 teenage children as they prepare to more fully embrace independence, while co-creating full rich lives that satisfy and delight them. And one of the ways in which I do this, is to endeavour to create the same for myself day by day, month by month, year by year.
Since completing my PhD in literary studies 6yrs ago, I have focused my attention on building a business that not only supports me financially, but which deeply fulfils my desire to make art and make a difference. As I spiral ever deeper into my own processes of self-enquiry, I have found that the opportunity to explore astrology and the embodied arts with Kathleen Prophet has been one of the most enriching and empowering experiences of my life. Not only has it brought a new level of depth to the services that I offer through my business, but has also led me to publish a book of poetry and to stage my first exhibition of self-portraiture. Through embodying my mythic astrology, I have discovered in myself a vitality in my capacity to create art, to create a life. |

I am an Art Sorceress... fashioning my art from the material of my life, my shadows, my suffering. In the process, I am transformed. My life, love and living is the richer for it.
I am a mentor of the Embodied Arts. Teacher of Sacred Wild Astrology. Ritual Leader of the Dark Moon Mysteries. I guide women into the heart of their shadows and wild inner terrain to encounter the metamorphic power of the Self. When supported by thef forces of the Moon, Sun, and astrological forces of Nature... we are initiated, awakened and emboldened to live our lives true to our deeper self. My meeting with Amy occurred four years ago. I am a cryptic creatura, a WILDLING of the sacred wild ways, and one who like everyone else, needs to be seeeeeen to woo out my jeweled potentials. Through Amy's PMBC work (Practical Magic Business Circle) I was able to realize my work on a whole new level which reached out to the world in the very particular way I needed to. Our personal relationship has afforded me a safe haven to explore my shadows and to honor my Art in the way I had only dreamed of for years. Her deeply hearted skill as a witness and a seer of gifts has brought me into a whole new realization of myself, now, with her. Truly this is the wildest most ecstatic dream I could not have achieved without her. |
