Healthy cycles & matriarchal post-birth experiences

Your body, your stories ~ our menstrual culture, our world

Let's work together to create the more nourishing life we know is possible & remember what it feels like to thrive

Welcome ~ I'm Hayley and I'm glad you found me

I’m working to restore life-sustaining connections between our bodies, cycles, soul and the living world that supports us. 

Through my offerings as a sensory herbalist, regenerative gardener, birth story listener, fertility awareness educator and culture shaper, I guide menstruators towards healthy cycles and matriarchal post-birth experiences so they are resourced to live a meaningful life.

I’m passionate about creating a menstrual health culture where our cycles are understood and respected as an initiatory pathway to wellness, wisdom, elderhood and cultural/ ecological restoration. 

My work offers a place for our fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and matrescence stories to be witnessed and honoured for the power and significance they carry ~ for ourselves and our shared culture.

+ Supported by herbs consultations

+ Birth story medicine sessions

+ Fertility awareness method & cycle education

Testimonials

"I am astounded by the impact my birth story medicine session had. I feel free, at peace & can access a part of myself that has been dormant for too long. The herb garden was the perfect setting to explore my birth story & the importance of the big events that happened. I felt grounded & peaceful in the garden & immediately felt safe & held in the space by Hayley. I felt a divine presence & container. Very safe & protected. Ethereal even."
The herbal sessions themselves felt deeply healing - it felt like I entered a sacred space each time I met Hayley in the herb garden. I was able to go deeply into my body & emotions, as I felt very held by the empathy, compassion & deep listening Hayley offered me. The treatment plans that Hayley created for me have been providing me with lots of support & I feel much more empowered on my journey with the virus than I did before the sessions. Thank you Hayley
Hayley held a beautiful safe space for me to explore my birth story. Nearly 2 years after giving birth I have been carrying a heaviness about the events that took place. In the nurturing surroundings of her herb garden Hayley gently & respectfully guided me, helping me tend to these wounded parts. It was a profoundly powerful session & I would highly recommend working with Hayley.
"Hayley offers such a warm, loving, safe space in which to explore our birth stories. This significant rite of passage is often swept up in the aftermath of feeding & sleepless nights, so to return to my experiences some years after, was a most beautiful gift to myself. I found unexpected medicine there which speaks so much to my life right now & I'm so grateful to Hayley for her skilled presence & holding."
"You have supported me in so many ways & changed my relationship to my newly revived menstrual cycle. I feel more tuned in & closer to the experience of women in a larger sense. Having my regular cycle back gives me a sense of security and relief. I have my guiding energy back. Thank you."
"Hayley was skillful in helping me navigate a myriad of difficult events during the birth of my twins & uncover new meaning in salient pieces of my journey. She offered new insights & tools to continue my own exploration of my path. Hayley has given me new eyes through which to see my story. It feels like a doorway has been opened. The gift of knowing a part of me in a new way makes me feel whole again."
"The ritual we did together at the beautiful herb garden was very powerful. I couldn't believe the depth of feeling & synchronicity that flowed through it. Lots came together & made sense for me. I feel so much lighter & ready for whatever this journey through peri-menopause brings. Thank you for being there to help me mark this moment in my life."
"Thank you Hayley so much for your support. It's made such a difference to my physical recovery. You asked really good questions that led me to so many new understandings. I'd been carrying stuff for 30 years! I can't believe how deep we went so fast. I am so glad I found you & grateful to you for your wisdom with herbs."

A note about 1:1 therapeutic support in troubled times

There is nothing wrong with you because you are experiencing challenges, uncomfortable feelings or physical symptoms. You are where you are on your journey and that in itself is a miracle. I can and will make things feel easier for you but I do not claim to heal or fix you because I do not believe you are broken. 

I believe what you experience is a reflection of something far bigger.

The work we embark on together holds an awareness that we live in a culture and an economic system that isn’t set up for our optimum wellness. We are also human animals living in ecosystems experiencing climate chaos and biodiversity collapse.

I consider many of the health challenges we see around us to be appropriate responses to the way things are. This is a troubled time when we all face multiple challenges together that impact our individual health. 

“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society” [Krishnamurti]

I can’t change the way things are but I can guarantee to walk the path with you: to witness, listen and guide you towards greater ease, health and wellness.

Tending to our individual wellbeing is a big part of the collective change we so desperately need. It is as an act of deep love, self respect and social responsibility to recognise you need support.
