My approach to supporting your unfurling
The spiraling journey of Liberation & Transformation
The spiritual, healing and personal developmental paths overlap beautifully, and I've been bringing together the best of each of these areas to support my students, clients and myself to evolve and come into authentic embodied awakening.
Spiritual lineages knew that a framework and process of initiation and progression was the most fruitful for spiritual seekers to ensure the right foundations were laid before going into deeper practice to minimise risk and maximise effectiveness.
While it's wonderful to have so much accessible to us online these days with the power of the internet, the problem is that people end up cobbling together practices from different lineages and approaches based on what draws them, rather than finding what they really need for each stage of their journey (which is often what we DON'T WANT to do ;) ) A guru or spiritual teacher would guide their students to ensure they don't fall into typical pitfalls.
Unfortunately, most people don't have access to a Guru, but this is where personal mentorship, coaching and support comes in! Avoid typical pitfalls and get specific guidance based on where you are in your journey.
Many spiritual concepts and journeys are found in 3 primary stages, so I've used a 3 stage approach to my personal approach in working with clients, and each stage has 3 core aspects to master before moving on.
These stages apply for the personal and relational journey.
For example, in a relationship you see 3 primary stages...
The Honeymoon/ New relationship energy → The Power struggles and conflict → Devotional commitment
Many people just move from stage 1-2 then break up and start again, over and over, and never break through to the full potential of their relationship.
This pattern emerges erotically too as we move from the erotic chemistry of a new relationship, to the typical 'boredom' and mis-matched desires, to eventually breakthrough to spiritual intimacy and ecstatic union.
In the spiritual seeker we see the 3 main stages...
The New Seeker expanding and exploring → The Underworld/ Dark Night → Awakening
When we first start exploring things are all new and exciting, possibilities seem endless. Eventually we meet the Underworld where we face our traumas and Ego complexes to work through, before we find a new depth of existing and integrate this into our new awakened life. It's the Hero's journey that all seekers go on until the seeker dissolves and we find what we were looking for.
Each stage contains an element that is Blissful and Pleasurable, a Challenging/Healing element and an Empowering element, so these also have their own 3 part evolution over the levels.
- Somatic Wisdom → Shadow → Devotion (Safety and Sensitivity to facing the unconscious to Surrendered practice)
- Empowerment → Authentic Truth → Awakening (personal power to integrated truth to transcendence)
- Desire → Ecstasy → Unconditional Love (personal wanting to wild expression to universal love)
In stage ONE we help build a a vibrant foundation for your transformation journey, cultivating a healthy sense of self and connection to your desires and values, developing the somatic wisdom, personal empowerment and playful aliveness that creates unshakeable capacity for deeper work
This foundational stage is where the magic begins! You'll reconnect with your authentic desires, develop profound trust in your body's wisdom, and step into genuine personal power. Rather than rushing into advanced practices, you'll create the rich soil from which lasting transformation can bloom.
Many people skip key aspects of this stage of the journey, wanting to dive right into the deeper, 'sexier' practices and end up re-traumatising themselves, spiritually bypassing or getting a strong spiritual Ego. This results in distorted results and often a longer journey as they need to back-track and fix the foundations eventually- like building a house on uneven ground.

In stage TWO we dive into the shadows and go deeper on our liberation journey, opening to new layers of bliss and transforming old patterns into new possibilities
Now that we have built somatic safety, sensitised our bodies and built our capacity more, we can start to journey into the shadows and new depths. We start to explore our patterns and our conditioning, where we hold old stories from our childhood, parents and past relationships that keep us trapped in suffering. As we release trapped energy from releasing these patterns we access more bliss, ecstacy and joy and we learn to harness and utilise this creative lifeforce energy for our liberation.
- Shadow work and ego dissolution begins and we face our unconscious
- Old patterns surface more intensely and we meet ourselves bravely
- Conflict in relationships increases so more deep communication tools and compassionate inquiry is required
- Deeper wounds and traumas emerges to be re-integrated with love and care
- We feel more and more of both highs and lows, we see our pleasure potential and expand orgasmic capacity
- We start to invite more flexible boundaries and tolerance for conflict and tension
- Our authentic truth emerges as our conditioning sheds and we gain the courage to live and speak our truth
- We access deep intuitive wisdom and insights
- We question our thoughts and beliefs and go deeper into inquiry and meditation
- Integrating opposites 'masculine/feminine' 'power/surrender' 'yin/yang' to explore inner union
The 3 primary qualities are:
- ECSTASY- I allow my full aliveness and erotic expression
- Wild expression, primal energy, orgasmic aliveness, sacred rage, Kundalini exploration
- Practices: Ecstatic dance, breathwork, vocal expression, energy release, tantric practices
- THE SHADOW- I courageously face and integrate all aspects of self to come into wholeness

- AUTHENTIC TRUTH- I speak and live Truth with complete authenticity
- Deep inquiry, spiritual investigation, seeing through illusion, embodied integrity, radical discernment
- Practices: Self-inquiry practices, questioning beliefs and conditioning, truth investigation, authentic expression, identity deconstruction, living from values
In stage THREE we move into the depths of spiritual liberation work, moving beyond the Ego into unity
You've cultivated the foundations, you've gone into the underworld and integrated the lost parts, now that we are free from the trappings of the egoic entanglements and patterns, we can start to truly live as the love that we are. Here we balance the transcendent with the imminent, the eternal and the material, the place where dualities collapse and contradictions dance and play.
- Moving beyond personal identity and ego-driven goals to spiritual surrender
- Integration of all previous work into daily life (Chop wood, carry water ;) )
- No longer seeking peak experiences or breakthroughs for personal gain but as communion and remembrance
- Untethering remaining pieces from capitalism, patriarchy, colonialism, spiritual materialism and other conditioning
- Deep devotional practices become natural
- Unconditional love and acceptance for self, others and reality
- Service and contribution naturally emerge and exploring how your want to offer the fruits of your work to your community/family/world

- Embodying radical Love fully
The 3 primary qualities are:

- Practices: Daily devotional practices, erotic communion, meditation, prayer, ritual, surrender, art, service
- UNCONDITIONAL LOVE- I love without conditions, expectations, or agenda
- Acceptance, compassion, non-attachment, forgiveness, radical love
- Practices: Loving-kindness, self-compassion, radical acceptance, sacred intimacy
- AWAKENING- I live as awakened consciousness in service to all
- Embodied wisdom, presence, connection to the infinite, unity consciousness
- Practices: NonDual inquiry and meditation, philosophy, death meditation, trance states, orgasmic awakening
And Beyond...
While the spiritual path may find a natural completion through the seeker dissolving when we find what we were uncovering, the dance continues to play out.
We may find ourselves coming back to the foundations at times, being drawn back into the underworld when new egoic identities emerge and deepening eternally into the qualities we cover.
Eventually we find that everything we need to know will emerge when it is needed, and 'whatever is in our way, is the way'
The spiritual path may be walked over some years or a lifetime. The time it takes to progress from foundations to awakening varies depending on the person, their commitment level, their karma and circumstances. Usually, people spend 2-4 years in each of these levels.
Wherever you are in your journey, whether you're taking those first steps to open to the potential of who and what you are, or you've been walking the path for years, I hope you find some support with the work that I offer.
