The Ancient Mother Spiral Framework is a rigorous, alchemical healing approach I have remembered, rooted in the wisdom of the Great Mother archetype. Unlike linear therapeutic models, this spiralic path acknowledges that true healing happens in cycles - like a bee's dance, each return to a stage brings new insights from a higher vantage point.
While Presence Centered Psychotherapy offers therapeutic support, AMS invites you into a mythic journey of spiritual remembrance—woven with ritual, creativity, and soul-based inquiry.
The framework addresses the core wound of perceived separation from self, others, Earth, and divine intelligence. It weaves together psychotherapy, non-duality, trauma healing, and deep honor for neurodivergence, creating a transformative path of spiralic returning rather than linear "fixing."
This path is especially for people who feel called to reclaim their power, intuitive knowing, and connection to the Ancient Mother. It is not traditional therapy, but a transformational container for deep inner work and collective healing.
It is a six-stage framework for healing and growth It maps a non linear return from felt
separation to belonging, revisiting stages : : Awakening , Gestation, Descent, Crowning, Surrender, Holy Union, mirroring a birthing process as our inner rebirth and inner transformation. The capacities we cultivate much much deeper through which your capacity for presence deepens are: Calling, Descent, Listening, Embodiment, Reweaving, Integration. As a framework it is used to orient sessions, reflect progress, and design practices that fir YOU and YOUR personality , and that meet the moment ever so tenderly and openly. This approach de-pathologizes disruption, seeing any setback as a sacred opportunity for insight and growth
The structure of the "Ancient Mother Spiral" is intentionally designed for deep and lasting transformation. The 1.5-hour duration is not a matter of convenience, but a compassionate choice to honor the journey of healing and growth.
We understand that trauma often necessitates a gentle, unhurried pace. This extended time allows for:
A Deeper Immersion: More space to land, ground, and create a sense of safety before embarking on inner work. This is crucial for the nervous system to feel supported and not rushed.
Active Participation: Rather than being a passive recipient of healing, you are invited to become an active participant in your own blossoming growth. The longer session provides the time and support needed for you to truly engage with the process and your own inner wisdom.
Integration and Journeying: This precious time allows for not only the deep journeying but also the vital process of integration. It gives your system the time to gently anchor the insights and shifts, ensuring they are not just fleeting moments but become a foundational part of your new path.
This is a cost-effective investment in your profound and holistic well-being. It is a commitment to a process that is both deep and sustainable, honoring the time and space required for genuine, soul-rooted change.
The Earth as a Living Spiral: Healing in the Woods
The most potent way to journey with the spiral is to physically walk it. For this deep, embodied work, I offer sessions in a private woodland space near my home. Here, the theory of the spiral becomes a lived, breathing reality.
When you step out of the therapy room and into the hold of the living world, something ancient within you remembers its place.
The forest floor becomes our map, helping us trace the spiral's path of descent and return.
The bilateral movement of walking helps integrate your mind's hemispheres, allowing insights to land more deeply.
The trees, the stones, and the elements become our co-therapists, offering reflections and wisdom.
Nature itself becomes the sacred container, helping you release what is heavy and root into your strength.
This work is compelling if you feel confined by four walls or if your neurodivergent experience thrives in movement and nature. Here, we don't just talk about the spiral; we walk it, breathe it, and embody it together.
Creative Expression: Giving Form to Your Inner World
There is an artist and a mystic within you, waiting to be remembered. This work requires no "talent," only a willingness to attune and listen. As you create from a space of presence, you bypass the conditioned mind and access the authentic self that has always been waiting.
Each act of creation becomes a step on your spiral journey. We may use:
Imagery & Archetype Cards to reveal the deeper currents of knowing beneath the surface.
Intentional Journaling to give voice to your innermost truths.
Soul Songwriting & Sound
Russian Nesting Dolls to explore the many sacred layers of your self.
The Sacred World in Miniature: Sandtray Work
Im not a trained sand therapist but i have used it a lot in my own healing and I have been using sandtray a lot in my work. Sandtrays offer a safe contained way to explore and visualise your internal world.
