about me...
Over the last 20 years I have had the privilege of exploring many different psychological and spiritual pathways, both ancient and modern. Initially I trained in reflexology followed by counselling and psychotherapy. My path then took me down a Native American-inspired route into Vision Questing, Sweat Lodges, Council, and Shamanic Healing, and then more deeply into rites of passage work through the Women in Power UK organisation.
For the past six years I have been diving into the realms of personal and ancestral trauma and have been following a calling to explore my indigenous roots and spirituality. This work has given me what feels like the missing piece of the picture as I come to understand that my personal healing work is incomplete without the inclusion of my ancestors. Through these connections, I have discovered a profound sense of belonging, a coming home to my soul work and unwavering clarity that my life's purpose is in working to heal the horrific wounds of Burning Times which many of still carry today.
From November 2018, I undertook a 13 Moon Pilgrimage around the Celtic Heartlands of the UK and Ireland to explore my indigenous ancestry. This magical journey has given me a deep experience of Ancestral connection and understanding which now forms a unique basis from which I work.

Since 2009 I have been attending monthly women's circles, Red Tents, Moon Lodges, Sweat Lodges, and various other weekend workshops. I am following a path of deep self-enquiry to retrace my indigenous heritage, and reclaim the soul essence of the Celtic heartland of the British Isles from which I come. I am healing and growing and learning and passionate about sharing this with others who are interested.
I continue to be a "work-in-progress" and will always have more to learn. I am deeply grateful to the many teachers who have held, supported and inspired me along the way. I work from a place of non-judgement and honour your own personal journey. I aim to share rather than teach, to guide rather than preach and to encourage and support your own soul growth. It is an honour to share what I have experienced with others and I look forward to walking alongside you if what I'm offering calls you.

ps. here are a couple of testimonials that make me feel proud!
- "Cali is a gentle steadfast facilitator who does not hurry to solve, she sniffs out the way that may not be obvious without fear or need to know immediately. She is steady in the work and clear and strong with her words. Unlike other therapists I’ve encountered, her own agenda or ego doesn’t get in the way. I felt safe to lean in and go with the process with an open mind and heart and what came up was a catalyst for important insight." HL
- "Cali led the sessions with great intuition, empathy and gentleness. Strong images and messages came to me during the drumming journeys, validated by Cali's own experience as it was clear that she had witnessed the same messages for me but from a different perspective. Our time has really helped me to see things clearly; I’ve moved into something new - I can feel the support from ancestors who are willing me to shed my smallness and step into my power; I can feel my direction shifting and becoming clearer. Thank you so much Cali!" GM
