Every woman carries ancient wisdom in her womb

We honour that deep mystery

A space for cycles, rites of passage, and embodied feminine wisdom.

Where your body, intuition, and inner knowing are truly trusted and celebrated.

Meet the Keeper of the Way

I offer rites of passage support for women moving through the profound transitions of pregnancy, birth, postpartum and menopause. This work weaves together womb healing, cyclical living, ceremony and shamanic womancraft, and has grown from my own lived experience, devotion, and deep trust in the wisdom of the female body.

My name is Briony Goodsell, a Birth Keeper, Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula, Shamanic Womancraft Practitioner, Feminine Yoga Teacher, Womb Wisdom Keeper, and mother who has walked the long and sacred path back to myself.

I know what it feels like to be disconnected from your body and its wisdom, to long for guidance and belonging, and to slowly remember that the deepest healing comes from reclaiming what has always lived within.

My journey has moved through an eating disorder, infertility and pregnancy loss, into empowering birth experiences, the darkness of postpartum depression, and now the profound gateway of menopause.

Each threshold has shaped me and deepened my understanding of the feminine path. Along the way, I have come to see how often women are expected to navigate these initiations without true support, witnessing, or recognition of their depth.

For over twenty years, I have walked beside women through these sacred transitions. I have had the honour of attending births, holding women in circle and ceremony, and supporting them to reconnect with their bodies, cycles, and inner knowing.

This is not something I have just studied. It’s lived, embodied, and continually shaped through my own unfolding feminine path.

Sacred Feminine Way emerged as a response to a world that so often overlooks the depth, wisdom, and significance of women’s inner journeys.

What began as support through fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum has naturally expanded into a wider offering that honours all stages of a woman’s life, including menarche and menopause, and the initiatory nature of each threshold we cross.

Our Philosophy

The foundation of Sacred Feminine Way is rooted in connection, embodiment, and deep listening.

We believe in holding space, not fixing. Women do not need to be repaired or told who they are. When held in safety, presence, and compassion, their own wisdom naturally rises to the surface.

Empowerment through sovereignty is central to this work. True empowerment comes from a woman reconnecting with her body, trusting her intuition, and reclaiming her authority over her life, choices, and transitions.

Deep listening is a practice we live by. Listening to the body, the emotions, the earth, and the subtle wisdom that emerges when a woman feels truly seen and supported.

Our work is guided by an embodied, cyclical, and ancestral lens. We honour the rhythms of the feminine body, the transitions of womanhood, and the red thread of lineage that shapes our experiences across generations.

Above all, we believe women are their own experts. Our role is not to lead from above, but to walk beside, gently guiding women back to their own knowing.

Training & Lineage

My work is informed by decades of lived experience and extensive training across embodied and ancestral modalities. This includes:

  • Shamanic Womancraft (including training and long immersion in ancestral rites of passage with Jane Hardwicke Collings)
  • Feminine yoga and embodied movement practices
  • Womb work and sacred body wisdom
  • Ayurvedic postpartum & sacred birth doula care
  • Herbal wisdom and ceremonial practice
  • Pregnancy, post natal & women’s massage
  • Pregnancy & postpartum yoga
  • Womb hara massage
  • Naturopathic nutrition
  • Placenta encapsulation
  • Reiki
  • Counselling
  • Baby massage

These teachings are woven into everything I offer. From one to one mentorship and sacred circles, to ceremonies, retreats, and future courses. Each pathway is designed to support women to reconnect with their bodies, honour their cycles, and move through life’s transitions with grounded awareness and sovereignty.

Why This Work Matters

In a culture that often leaves women navigating life’s thresholds alone, without ritual, without community, and without guidance, this work becomes deeply necessary. Sacred Feminine Way exists to restore meaning to the transitions of womanhood and to offer a safe, nurturing container where women can be held, witnessed, and empowered.

Through ceremony, embodiment, and community, women are supported to reconnect with their inner wisdom, heal ancestral and personal imprints, and step fully into their power.

This is not about becoming someone new.
It is about remembering who you have always been.
