Disruptions As Creative Intelligence Disguised as Chaos
About Me
An intro to this season of me. I'm Toni-Anne, a home- ed, recently worldschooling girl Mum to my favourite human. A Psychologist with a background in lecturing in multiple branches of Psychology & a trained Family Therapist. A shadow worker drawn to the taboo topics of life, holding emotionally supportive spaces for Women, Men, Young People & Children since the age of 19...I'm now almost 38. I'm a Woman who has lived- I've had the honour of been welcomed into the secret inner landscapes of humans, a privilege I'll never take for granted.
I don't do well with neutral, lukewarm limbos- I'm dramatic, passionate & slightly unhinged with a tendancy to attract other humans into my field who are almost as emotionally feral as me. I have a rebellious heart, a geeks mind & a body that adores drinking in beauty through my senses. I'm ravenous for all the knowledge, experiences, art & love this life has to offer.
A cancer stellium in 12th house means I get melancholic, nostalgic & I'm often straddling two worlds- death/birth, spirit/matter...I often think if it wasn't for Motherhood I would eject my body & float off to the ethereals (Thank God for Motherhood).
I'm a certified cry baby, my heart is overflowing- I feel every emotion with intensity...joy, excitement, grief, anger - all the feels. I would combust, burst or go insane without the emotional alchemy of music, poetry, storytelling, singing & beauty. I've released 2 songs & self-published 1 book- Healing Woman, Whole Spirit.
I rage quit the spiritual industry last year only to discover, I cannot quit who I am. I'm semi-divorcing the word 'spiritual' because I love the mess of being human- ironically it's when I'm most in my human that I have the most sacred experiences & feel closest to Spirit. I guess this has become what I stand for.
I offer readings & 1 to 1s using the modalities of Archetypal Psychology/Shadow Work, Gene Keys, Astrology & Embodiment practices- most of it making more space for spirit to enter, through compassionate self-acceptance & a deeper loving on your darker spaces.
If this speaks to you, feel free to book in for the next season of your journey, with me by your side. If you have Qs, reach out!
With Love,

Trust Your Spiritual Gifts
Wrapped in chaos with a sweet bow of confusion on the top. Unwrapping our Spiritual gifts can feel like receiving a new set of pots and pans for Valentines Day, send them back! They might come wrapped up in chaos, with a sweet bow of confusion plopped on the top. An invitation attached to disrupt our ‘normal lives’ and walk the path less travelled, earning a few awkward silences in the places once filled with comfortable noise. They may even evoke that witch wound fear of being judged, ostracise
Shadow Work & Somatics
For sustainable psychological integration and true emotional embodiment, Shadow Work needs both the Psychological AND Somatic work.

Grief & The Woman’s Life Cycle
"You will experience the triple Goddess — Maiden, Mother, and Crone. These phases are symbolic to, not just your own life, but life as a whole. Birth, life, and death. As women, it is important to understand you are the cycle.” Emma Mildon.
Throughout the last two years I have experienced tangible bereavement through the loss of relatives who have transitioned and relationships which have come to an end. I have also experienced grief through symbolic deaths of changing homes, geographical locations, and work. These experiences have re-triggered childhood wounds around grief and invited me me into deep moments of contemplation around the nature of grief and my relationship with it. This has illuminated for me the intimate relationship which Women have with birth, life and death. Just like the moon phases, the feminine cycles are built around the natural occurrence of beginnings, endings and the phases in between.
