I am Jen, for over 20 years I have been sharing, guiding, supporting, teaching and facilitating within the framework of integrated holistic therapies and services and along the way morphing, changing and growing so that I may continue to offer from a space of authenticity and integrity. Over 3 decades I have undergone training in a number of modalities including holistic body work, energy work, holistic meditation, yoga nidra, spiritual mentoring and floristry. I am also a trained Death Walker and End of Life Celebrant and facilitate Funeral Ceremonies and Grief Circles through Tiare Funerals and Deathcare in Norther Rivers NSW.
​
Now in my 50's my work is a culmination of my many life experiences, my gifts, my training and my vision to support and build community based on acceptance and respect. Through Sanctum of the Rose I offer nature based workshops, circles and events, elements healing sessions, rites of passage, ceremony and online temples and containers.

A deep love of nature and a awareness of cycles and transitions is at the root of my work as a priestess, intuitive witch, ceremonialist and death walker. Please view the other sections of my website for more information on my services and offerings. See below for more about my personal journey.
My Personal Story
​
I was born in the vast rural landscape of Australia, I spent the early part of my childhood roaming wild and free, deeply connected to Nature, immersed in the natural elements and the changing seasons. It was here within the embrace of nature that I developed my profound acceptance of life and death and all the cycles between. After school I lived in Sydney for 7 years before heading to the Uk where I was based for 11 years, along the way I discovered Wicca then Urban and Traditional Witchcraft and spiritual practices such as Reiki, Spiritual Healing, Holistic Body Therapies, Meditation, Journeying and Yoga Nidra. Through it all I have not been without my own personal challenges with addiction, isolation and caring for loved ones with significant mental health issues and so I have an understanding of the range of human conditions and the joys, the struggles, the loss and grief that comes with them. My spiritual beliefs and practices and my connection to Nature and the cycles, seasons and phases have created for me a supportive foundation that I have integrated with every day life to provide a place of compassion and strength to enable me to also support others. Ritual and Ceremony have been an important part of my life for many years and as a guide, space holder and co-creator of space I offer this knowledge to those that feel called to work with me.
​
I dwell within the beautiful Northern Rivers Caldera on Bunjalung country surrounded by the sacred mountains that form the green cauldron, close to subtropical rainforest and pristine beaches. Communion with nature is part of my daily practices, along with devotional work, ritual and movement. I am also an avid reader and a lover of travel, mythology and folklore and have been on 2 sacred pilgrimages to Egypt to immerse myself in the ancient mystery school teachings.

I look forward to working with you.

Many Blessings,
