The Witch Who Lives Next Door

“For centuries, witches were silenced, shamed, and burned for their truth. And yet here she is - right there on the cover - being celebrated for bringing her magic home.”

I am not just another healer. I am birthing a whole healing modality - a living magical wisdom body - the Archetypal Apothecary™. ✨

For a long time, I thought I was simply re-telling ancient arts - carrying forward homeopathy, archetypal psychology, energy medicine.

"When we begin to feel this way, a lost part of our soul is already being 'activated' and called home. It's an ancient feminine remembrance of who we really are - one which we often also resist, but that is undeniable.”

I’m not here to tell you the next step; I’m here to help you uncover your own magic, your own power, your own truth. That’s the witch’s medicine — to reflect what’s within, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Why we do the work... Reason #4 Creative Power

Why we do the work... Reason #4 Creative Power

“My point is, it was only the "deep work" of real healing that helped me to own my inner Creatrix and learn to claim my feminine soft-power to create life differently and own my healing gifts. Before that, I felt powerless. Learning to *heal my power* was absolutely VITAL in helping me manifest life differently - and create a magical life as a healer.”

- Nicole Barton

Before I entered 'the work' I was living a busy, chaotic, mundane life, that I felt trapped in. I hear many of the women who feel the call to the 'deep work' of becoming a healer feeling the same, whilst simultaneously feeling that 'the work' is also 'non-essential' and 'self-indulgent". Both ideas which can stop us fully choosing it.

Why we do the work... Reason #3 Health

“I no longer suffer with any of the 'incurable' health challenges I had - no paralysed face, no chronic fatigue, no endometriosis, no chronic cystitis, no diabetes, no thyroid issues. Instead, the healing work has me energised, vital, and healthy. To me, that makes this the most *vital* and essential work of all. And the least selfish - because now I'm able to help others walk the same path and heal themselves, and go onto helping others the same way.”

- Nicole Barton

One of the things that came up for me - and that I hear come up for many women feeling - in the call of soul to the 'deep work' of becoming a healer is the idea that it's 'non-essential' and 'self-indulgent". Both ideas which can (innocently) stop us fully choosing it.

Why we do the work... Reason #2 Family

“Choosing the work is the least 'self-indulgent' thing we can do: it's life-transforming for *all* of those we touch, and especially our families. It's the best investment I've ever made - and by far the biggest ever reward of it all. “

I often hear women fearing that the 'deep work' of becoming a healer will be judged as 'selfish' - and this can be something that stops us choosing it fully. Recently, I've been contemplating all the reasons the deep work of healing and becoming healers is actually necessary - (aka the very opposite) - and there are so many reasons.

Kindred Spirit Feature: Is it in your soul’s plan to be a healer?

“My point of view is that our gifts can only be found in our wounds and we are only initiated into our soul’s plan through challenge. The fears and difficulties we experience in the healer journey are all part of the alchemy - though that’s not how we are taught to see the world.”

Phosphoric Woman

Phosphoric Woman

I used to channel poetry and today, out in the woods, She-Wolf had me reclaim this lost part of my soul expression... So....

Introducing my new poem, 'Phosphoric Woman'...


Sensitive woman,

You weren't born here to play 'small.'

You are made of Phosphoric fire and moons:

You are a beautiful, glorious, messy paradox

of roses and she-wolves.
