What is a Shamanic Womancraft Session?
A Shamanic Womancraft session is a feminine healing experience that supports women to explore their life story through the lens of rites of passage, cyclical wisdom, and deep inner knowing. Rooted in the teachings of the School of Shamanic Womancraft and the work of Jane Hardwicke Collings, Shamanic Womancraft offers a way to understand the patterns, initiations, and ancestral imprints that shape your life.
This work invites you into a profound journey of awareness, healing, and empowerment, where your experiences are witnessed as connected, and meaningful. Through a Shamanic Womancraft session, you begin to see the deeper threads of your feminine story and reconnect with the wisdom held within your body, your cycles, and your lived experience.
A Shamanic Womancraft session isn’t about fixing you. It’s about remembering who you are.
The Wisdom of Shamanic Womancraft and Feminine Rites of Passage
Shamanic Womancraft is a body of work that weaves together feminine spirituality, cyclical awareness, and rites of passage understanding.
At its heart is the understanding that a woman’s life unfolds through powerful transitions, including:
- Your Birth
- Menstruation
- Sexual awakening
- Pregnancy and birth
- Motherhood
- Fertility challenges and losses
- Perimenopause and Menopause
- Elderhood and death
Each of these transitions carries meaning. Each one shapes how we see ourselves, our bodies, and our place in the world.
Yet many women move through these passages without ritual, reflection, or deep witnessing. Over time, this can leave unprocessed experiences that continue to shape patterns in our lives.
Shamanic Womancraft offers a way to return to these moments with awareness, compassion, and understanding.
The Red Thread: Understanding Your Life Story and Patterns
In a Shamanic Womancraft session, we explore what is known as the Red Thread.
The Red Thread is the deeper pattern that weaves through your life experiences as a woman (all the women who have gone before you in your Motherline). When we follow it, we begin to see how certain events, relationships, and initiations have shaped your inner and outer world.
You are embarking on a profound journey of inner knowing, reclamation of wisdom, and empowerment.
On this journey, you will explore and bring clarity to the themes and patterns that have emerged from your rites of passage, transformative life events, and ancestral imprints. By bringing awareness to these influences in your life, you develop a deeper understanding of why you do what you do.
By accessing the strengths of who you are, the lessons from your rites of passage, and awareness of your vulnerabilities and how to work with them, you become more resourced to walk your path of healing, transformation, and empowerment.
Through this process, many women begin to see their life not as fragmented experiences, but as a connected and meaningful story.
What Happens in a Shamanic Womancraft Session?
Through a Shamanic Womancraft session, I use tools and processes that gently guide you into deeper awareness of your life story and underlying patterns.
Together, we explore how your experiences, rites of passage, and ancestral influences have shaped your current reality.
Rather than analysing or fixing, this work creates space for reflection, insight, and integration.
You are supported to:
• recognise patterns in your life
• understand the meaning behind key experiences
• reconnect with your body and intuition
• access inner resources and strengths
• gain clarity on your current life phase
This process supports you to move forward with greater awareness, self understanding, and empowerment.
* Prior to your session, you will receive some questions to answer, and the information you provide will be a starting point for your work with me.
Why Have a Shamanic Womancraft Session?
Women are often drawn to Shamanic Womancraft when they sense there is something deeper to explore within their experiences.
You may feel called to this work if you are navigating:
• menstrual cycle awareness or challenges
• pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experiences
• fertility journeys or pregnancy loss
• motherhood identity shifts
• perimenopause or menopause transitions
• emotional or relational patterns
• disconnection from your body or feminine self
Or you may simply feel a quiet inner knowing that your story deserves deeper attention.
Shamanic Womancraft honours the truth that every life experience carries meaning, even the difficult ones. When explored consciously, they become sources of wisdom, rather than unresolved weight.
The Benefits of a Shamanic Womancraft Session

- greater clarity around life experiences
- healing and integration of past rites of passage

- reconnection with body wisdom and intuition

- emotional and spiritual integration
Many women leave feeling more whole, more empowered, and more connected to themselves.
The Lineage of Shamanic Womancraft
Shamanic Womancraft was developed through the teachings of Jane Hardwicke Collings and is shared through the School of Shamanic Womancraft. Jane carries on the lineage from Jeannine Parvati Baker, whose pioneering work in conscious pregnancy, birth awareness, and feminine spirituality has deeply influenced modern womb wisdom and women’s healing practices.
It is rooted in the understanding that women’s lives are shaped by cycles, initiations, and rites of passage, each carrying its own teachings and wisdom.
This work brings together feminine spirituality, storytelling, ritual, and deep listening to support modern women in reclaiming meaning within their life experiences.
