As a high priestess, mother, and award-winning filmmaker, I lead various sacred circles within the South African community. These include Sacred Women’s Pipe ceremonies, African sweat lodges, Wilderness Retreats, and Women’s Rites of Passage.My journey began as an activist, advocating for the preservation of indigenous knowledge systems, particularly focusing on indigenous natural healing methods. It was through the creation of my debut film, "Garden of my Ancestors," that I stumbled upon one of the last matriarchal communities and found myself under the guidance of "Mama Grace Masuku," also known as Ma-Afrika. Mama Grace, a highly esteemed botanist and nature conservationist in Southern Africa, became my mentor. Through her, I developed a deep passion for matriarchal wisdom and its crucial role in restoring balance and harmony within our communities.My calling as a traditional healer led me to undergo a rigorous ten-year apprenticeship, expanding my knowledge in shamanism, ancestral lineage healing, animistic psychology, and natural medicines. As a traditional womb healer, I specialize in supporting women to birth themselves, their dreams, and others. I hold sacred space for souls in the womb, pregnant women, those struggling to conceive, survivors of abuse, women hesitant to step into their power, and those grappling with body image issues and sexual shame.My mission is to empower individuals to awaken to their passion, power, and purpose. I believe that by bringing healing to the womb—the birthplace of all life and creation—we can experience profound transformation, awaken to radical self-love and divine grace, and manifest lives filled with joy. Womb work catalyses radical shifts in women’s lives, facilitating deep and lasting transformations.
