It can be tough for sensitive people to match our inner needs with the insistent demands of everyday life, especially in menopause. It’s easy to dismiss ourselves as too ‘high maintenance' or even that we're losing the plot. But if we ignore our self-care and our soul crying out for nourishment we feel even more overwhelmed, frazzled and ultimately, unwell.
Mentoring
Mentoring will give you a space to explore what you need and how you can come home to yourself, whatever this means for you; more softness, more kindness, better health, more ease in your relationships perhaps too. You might use the sessions to:
- Use a Medicine Circle to access your intuition
- Make a real-life strategy for self-care
- Understand how to chart your mood and energy by the moon or menstruation
- Talk through your situation and receive feedback, if you'd like that
- Receive a bespoke Yoga Nidra with a recording to take away
- Or a combination of any/all of the above!
I use a non-hierarchical, gentle 'midwife' approach that follows the needs of your energy and helps you to find equilibrium. You can book a chat if you fancy it, or invest in the menopause doula service to safely ground your unfolding process.
I also offer mentoring for well-being professionals though very often it ends up as a hybrid between personal and professional.
About Medicine Circles
I use Medicine Circles as a fabulous tool for you to access your way forward, interspaced with sessions for you to reflect on how their healing is unfolding in your life.
Medicine Circles are an embodied, energy medicine process that allows you to safely look beneath the surface at the patterns that direct you and help to find new ‘soul medicine’ that can be grounded into your everyday self-care.
If you:
- Have had some experience of alternative medicine
- Can identify as a highly sensitive person
- Feel fed up with the lack of authenticity in the world
- Want to reduce the overwhelm you feel and make your life more joyful
- Hate being ‘therapied’ and want to access your own wisdom
Then this process is worth checking out. My primary goal is that you feel safe and relaxed so you can access your own guidance.
Your options
I'm not currently offering stand-alone sessions, so do book a free chat or have a look at the menopause doula service for a year of holding.
“Kate had been a total menopausal inspirational Goddess for me. We’ve worked together for a while and it’s really helped me to navigate my menopause transition in a more wholesome & conscious way. The menopause can be messy, dirty & leave you feeling in complete overwhelm ~ having Kate journeying alongside is REAL medicine for your womb.”
Who can benefit?
The Medicine Circles are helpful for menstruating, perimenopausal and Second Spring people who want to deepen their understanding of the inner seasons in their lives and use this understanding to heal and deepen their joy. You do not have to be having a cycle to benefit. They can be used for ongoing navigation through life in regular sessions, or as an occasional top-up.
Clients come with questions about:
- menopause process
- menstrual issues
- work and career dilemmas
- creative process
- how to get unstuck from tricky situations
- improve energy levels
- PMT
And many other issues.
"I would describe an MMC session as being an experience of meeting the very deepest essence of your menstrual cycle which lies underneath all the busyness of your everyday mind and its worries etc. There you discover how loving and gentle each part of your cycle is and how much wisdom it longs to share with you. You realise how much it’s on your side. My overall and lasting impression is that the cycle loves us and wants to heal and guide us in all areas of our lives."

What are the benefits?
Facilitating the process helps to restore your natural energy flow and create a feeling of wholeness. Medicine Circles allow you to discover where you are blocked and what steps you can take to move forward.
In the days and weeks after your session, you’ll see subtle shifts in your awareness and behaviour as the healing effect of the cycle emerges in your life. Rather like constellation work, you’ll often find changes happening all by themselves in your life, though any kind of mindful practice will support your process.
Where do they happen?
Sessions can be online on Zoom or in-person in Watford. You can read more about Medicine Circles, or if you're not sure, book a free session.
