Who I am

Sacred Feminine Way is the practice of Briony Goodsell, offering women a space to explore the wisdom, transitions and experiences that shape our lives as women.

My work honours the cyclical nature of womanhood and draws from traditional women’s wisdom, womb awareness, embodied practices, connection with the Earth and the rites of passage that mark our lives.

Through individual sessions, bodywork, circles, workshops, gatherings and other offerings, I create spaces for women to reconnect with their bodies, their innate wisdom and the deeper rhythms of feminine life.

I welcome women at different stages of their journey, whether they are navigating pregnancy, birth and postpartum, exploring the transitions of perimenopause and menopause, moving through a significant life change, or seeking a deeper connection with themselves and their feminine nature.

My Approach

My work is complementary in nature and is grounded in education, traditional women’s wisdom, embodied practice and personal experience.

My offerings are intended to support your own exploration and relationship with your body, wellbeing and life journey. They are not intended to replace medical, psychological or other professional healthcare.

Where appropriate, I may encourage you to seek advice or care from a suitably qualified healthcare professional.

I understand that different offerings may involve different forms of participation, including conversation, movement, meditation, bodywork, touch, breathwork, ritual, reflection or other experiential practices, depending on the nature of the offering.
