In this episode, I am honoured to have my mentor, teacher, and nurturing mother-figure, Rachel Gallon. Rachel has guided me through much of my healing journey, playing a pivotal role in my education, and transition from knowledge to embodied wisdom.In this episode, we introduce you to, and speak in detail about the four stages of womanhood - Maiden, Mother, Maga, Crone. Below is a poem Rachel has written about the first three stages…MaidenYou dance through life on the lightest of feetThe feathers swirl around youAnd the sweetness of the air embraces you.From being held to being freeThe maiden sings her songOf wonder and delightMotherYour arms now fullAnd your step steadyThe dance slowsAs the space for you contractsYet your heart fuller than everA capacity for love so greatIt takes your breath awayNow the mother holdingGivingAnd nourishingSings her song of loveMagaYou begin to dance once moreWith a lilt that displays graceAnd with an air of magic and magnificenceAware now of the great powerAnd force within youHolding spaceAnd handsAnd heartsWith fullness like that which was once in your own bellyAnd you sing your songAnd it is yours to singAbout Rachel:As a therapist my mission is to guide and encourage women to make peace within, to know how and why self-nourishment is vital and to re-imagine a loving relationship with the True Self.Drawing from my background in Professional Kinesiology Practice and other metaphysical modalities, I offer my clients potent awareness, as well as motivation to commit to change, to evolve and to travel this earthly world widely awakened, nourished and loved.Through the building of meaningful connection with clients they can expect to be involved, inspired, and stimulated creatively meaning that what I offer is an interactive review and appraisal of information that they give, to re-frame the narrative, shift perspective, balance energy and restore clarity.  Healing - becoming whole - comes from the felt experience of shifting what is old, cumbersome and no longer serves. Information may be verbally communicated or given and interpreted by me via bio-feedback from muscle testing, metaphysical understanding from physical and emotional indications as well as from intuitive guidance.I have an established international business with a foundation in Professional Kinesiology Practice with over 20 years experience of working with clients I trained in Melbourne, Australia with the leading ICPKP college, and hold the qualification of Kinesiopractor®, and am a member of ICPKP Faculty qualified to teach the foundation course in kinesiology.  I am also a trained Celebrant using ceremony to honour and celebrate all meaningful stages of life.I relocated back to her native UK in February 2022 after 20 years living in Australia and is delighted to now call South Somerset home.  I have two amazing adult daughters, a husband of 38 years and will soon welcome a cocker spaniel puppy to the household.E: [email protected]W: www.rachelgallon.comM: +44 07467 808705 FB: https://www.facebook.com/rachelgallonpractitioner/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/rachel.gallon/To help support me in creating more content like this, please Buy Me a Coffee - buymeacoffee.com/amandakate Connect with me at the following:www.amandakate.com.auwww.instagram.com/amandakateselfmasterywww.linkedin.com/in/amandakateselfmasterywww.tiktok.com/@amandakateselfmasterywww.facebook.com/amandakateselfmasteryhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/divinemessyhumanhttps://www.youtube.com/@amandakateselfmasteryEmail me any topics you’d love me to chat about or deep dive into: [email protected]Music by Denys Kyshchuk from Pixabay
