Shamanic Womancraft Sessions
weaving together your birth imprint your rites of passage your female ancestral inheritance your family lineage & culture your woundings & losses your self-protective strategies your embodied wisdom your present moment your powerful positive ripple in the world
Shamanic Womancraft is an art, a process, and a modality aimed at supporting transformation and change through knowing oneself and reclaiming the lost parts of ourselves through the wisdom of the cycles and our rites of passage.
Life has a way of demanding wholeness...
Every situation you encounter provides an opportunity to see your mindset – your beliefs, attitudes and fears – at play. Until we bring consciousness to it, our mindset is largely inherited from our parents, ancestors and culture.
Shamanic Womancraft processes help you unravel your story to see the patterns and cycles that have shaped your experience so far.
What is Shamanic Womancraft?
Shamanic Womancraft uses the ancient way of the midwife asking of our wounds:
how does this serve?
Shamanic Womancraft is a modality created by Jane Hardwicke Collings and The School of Shamanic Womancraft, in which your embodied experiences, particularly around your rites of passage, along with any significant events or trauma and your early childhood patterning, are explored within the broader context of your female ancestral line and family culture.
Together we lay out these aspects of your story like the rich patchwork it is, so you can perceive the common themes and organic wholeness of it all.
Particular guided processes enable you to access your embodied inner knowing and discover unique-to-you healing actions and ‘remedies.’
By naming and accepting the past, you are invited to attune to what Life is asking of you right now, so you can transform blocks, access more joy, and pass on a vibrant legacy to the children and community around you!
"Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it."
~ Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

What's included?
The process begins with an “innerview” sent to you via email (this includes questions about your childhood and rites of passage so far).
We then connect in a 90-120 minute video call, exploring your ancestry, rites of passage and embodied experience. This may include ceremonies, menstrual cycle awareness, drum journey.
Afterwards, we check in via email to hear how you are going with integrating these themes and threads.
Tough Times
Change rarely feels comfortable; in fact, it can feel like a stretch we may not survive!
Significant shifts of life circumstance ~ loss, divorce, moving house, betrayal, changing jobs, not to mention the “spiritual PTSD” of global crises such as COVID and climate ~ can deeply challenge our confidence, perspective and purpose.
In these situations, you are invited to return to the gentle wisdom of your body, of Nature, of the Cosmos ~ in order to reconnect with your truth, curate your energy and embrace the opportunities of the present moment and who you are being called to Be and Become.
Who am I?
I’m a wife, mother to three kids (teens and young adult), astrologer, shamanic journeywoman, circle facilitator, lifelong journaller, writer and creator.
I have always had a passion for embodying our values and living with integrity, even when – and especially when! – this involves making choices that shift us away from the mainstream.
I’m also passionate about returning to our organic intelligence, our intuition, and the wisdom of our body, rather than being a slave to any “expert” opinion.
I am committed to providing a space in which there’s room to follow, cultivate and celebrate the emergent truth within you.
I bring:
- more than a decade of studying astrology and witnessing people’s life stories
- five years of apprenticing in, and teaching, shamanic awareness, presence, stamina, ecstasy-tolerance and space-holding with The School of Shamanic Womancraft
- almost two decades of journeying in conscious relationship with my partner
- my experiences of birthing my children at home and journeying consciously with my menstrual cycle and sexual expression.
This is my “expertise,” real and embodied, and laid in service to you and your journey!
