Rooted & Rising: Born from the Ashes, Built from the Land

It didn’t start with a vision. It started with ashes.

I was in a season where everything felt like it had fallen apart — slowly, then all at once.

Grief piled on grief. I lost my grandmother, then my friends Fran, and Jim within months. I was navigating separation. I was lambing in the middle of it all — quietly choosing care over collapse. I kept going, because I know how to hold things together.

But somewhere in the background, I was the one unravelling.

I’ve Always Been Able to Rise

I know how to show up. For others. For responsibilities.

I’ve always been capable. I’ve reinvented myself, rebuilt careers, supported people through trauma, through job loss, through identity shifts.

But I wasn't rooted.

When things burned down, I realised: My strength was built on survival — not steadiness.

I could rise, but I didn't know how to stay.

Rooted & Rising Wasn’t Designed — It Was Remembered

It came to me during lambing season — in the stillness of the field, in the breath of a horse beside me, in the quiet realisation that something had to change.

It grew from my lifelong connection to animals and land.

From my professional path in psychology, hypnotherapy, career coaching.

From my training in Equine-Assisted Learning.

From becoming a licensed ReWilding Facilitator in Ireland.

From a lifetime of finding peace in animal presence — even when the world felt loud, uncertain, or broken.

This work didn’t come from a textbook.

It came from being on my knees in the field and feeling life — quietly, steadily — begin again.

This Isn’t Just a Coaching Program

It’s a reclamation.

Of softness. Of strength. Of space to be human.

It’s for the women who are tired of being strong.

For the ones who function well but feel lost.

For the ones who’ve been everything for everyone else — and are finally ready to come home to themselves.

Rooted & Rising is how I found my way back.

And now, it's how I hold space for others to do the same.

If you're in the ashes, I want you to know — you're not broken. You're becoming.

You don’t have to rush to rise. But when you’re ready, there’s a place for you here.
