TENDING TO OUR CREATIVE LIFE FORCE
When mothers give birth, they turn inside out, birthing not only external life, but their innate creativity and any previously dormant life force. Mothers tend to feel bursts of creativity and inspiration in the postpartum period (any time after birth) but have little time or space to channel or nurture it. When we are unable to tend to our own blooming, we stagnate, lack "purpose" outside of mothering and feel de-pressed. Tending to our creative life force eases anxiety (mis-directed / congested energy) and depression (frozen / stagnated energy).
This is an opportunity to "practice" remembering our unique expression, to clear our unique energy pathways and gain deeper inSIGHT into our PURPOSE through creative counsel in community
Stay at home mothering, homesteading, working full time as mothers, working part time as mothers; this is some of the stickiest material to work with, as mothers and creators, who live in a culture that damns her if she does (work) and damns her if she doesn’t (work).
As a self employed mother, who runs her own business, I have been and am constantly up against conditioning to “work more” or “work less”. I’m a mother who has needed a dogmatic free space to unpack the complexities, but has never had that space or that need met in community. It’s taken a shit load of mistakes and money spent on tending to my burn out.
We are NOT victims. (It’s important to rage and grieve and cyclically feel sorry for ourselves - we do this in mother nurture - but then we need to step in and up).
Creative Counsel is the stepping in and up. It’s in service to this collective need.
It’s in service to the need to CREATE the new paradigm and a big part of that is HOW WE MAKE and RECEIVE MONEY. HOW WE TEND TO OUR LIFE FORCE.
It’s a space for mothers to nurture what is our (creative) life force, a force that is (re)born with and out of us, the day our children are born. But is a force that is pushed down by society, that has no room to breathe amidst the incessant demands of mothering in the modern world and in a culture that needs us constantly “producing” to be rewarded.
And even then, it’s no reward.
The reward is burn out. The reward is guilt. The reward is depression, addiction.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Creative Counsel Mentorship
CC is an expression of the dormant life force that was (re)birthed with my children.
I have a duty to be in service to it, as much as I have a duty to be in service to them.
This container is in service to the truth that Motherhood can BENEFIT from our relationship to "work" / our expression of our life force and vice versa!
Honouring our life force in a way that is not just outcome orientated and in service to the distorted masculine way of living in the world, is actually REGENERATIVE.
We are literally opening a channel for ourselves to RECEIVE energy, to cultivate MORE life-giving energy. To make gold, just like we made our babies.
Also allowing work to be a cloak we wear that serves as a channel of RECEPTION, not DEPLETION, is breaking the oldest of conditionings, with the tightest of grips.
We literally cannot do this alone.
THE OFFERING:
One 2 hour mentorship call every month: Group and 1x1 coaching with me in an intimate accountability space - supported by other mothers, learning from each others process of blooming, becoming, remembering.
1 - 2 co-creating sessions every month: Impromptu co-creating sessions over Zoom weaving music, focus and co-created intention.
Accountability space on WA.
THIS IS FOR:
Mother’s who are in need of guidance and support as you transition "back to work". "Back to work" may also look like transitioning into a new career or expanding/sustaining an existing business.
Mothers who want to TEND to their creative life force outside of being "outcome orientated", outside of it being "work" or a career.

About your guide
I’m Amy May.
I'm a mother, creator and spiritual midwife.
I support women and mothers through major life transitions. A transition is a bridge between worlds / states. My passion lies in teaching and supporting women to create their own sense of safety, in their bodies and lives so that they FEEL GOOD and fulfilled as creators.
I am a certified Innate Traditions Postpartum Care Practitioner, trauma informed Field Facilitator and holistic therapist, but experience is my greatest authority. I hold what I have lived and what I practice being with - the ascent, the descent and the terrain in-between.
My medicine is an expression of the bridge between spirit and matter; holding space for complexity and nuance in the overwhelming age of information and polarisation.
My work is to witness in love and empower through intuitive guidance.
The journey of healing my relationship to my body (soma) and with Spirit, are at the centre of my offerings. They have been the binding forces in my trainings with formidable leaders in the fields of embodiment, midwifery, women’s yoga, trauma, spirituality and ceremony.

KIND WORDS FOR CREATIVE COUNSEL
-
I came in with zero expectations so to say I was blown away is an understatement. I came in with the intention of being held through what I knew was a huge adjustment period in my life as well as huge goals I had set for the year. This community and its medicine, made me feel witnessed, supported, and alive again. I have learnt so much about others, Amy’s wisdom, about myself…. I am a completely different human than when we started. It was magic 🪄

My intention was to see myself beyond Mothering & create expansion in my creative space. I received Rhythm. I received a safe space to open to new possibilities & step in fully. I received self regulation & responsibility outside of my family dynamic. I received incredible women with incredible offerings. I received so, so much.

Creative Counsel is the thing you didn’t know you needed. It’s community, commitment, love, growth, transformation, softness… soul level goodness.

Creative counsel is a place to be met & to re.meet yourself, to allow yourself to explore your edges, to show the fuck up with no judgement & allow it to land fully in your being

Creative Counsel is a deep container of accountability and discipline for tuning, clearing and connecting to your creative channel and your creative expression. It both resources you with the qualities, practices and insights you need and helps you alchemize the pain and shadows that hold you back. It's not about what you create but your relationship to your creative channel and life force that is at the centre of the container.

Amy .. u are such a gift to this world. I am beyond grateful to be in your orbit honestly. This was such a force of nature this container and I am going to miss having this field to marinate in and hold me. Also the women in it were fiiiirree. A testament to your frequency and what you attract

Creative Counsel exceeded my expectations. The idea of reconnecting with my dormant creativity after years in the puddle of early motherhood sounded enticing, so I signed up. And, honestly, I trust Amy's offerings. I was ready to exit victimhood and take charge of how I move through motherhood and how I meet life everyday.

What actually transpired in the container was so much more than that. I didn't realize I would rekindle the creative light inside me all over again as if I was a little child for whom creativity and person are not separate. I didn't realize how soothing and healing it would be to re-meet my innate creativity. I began to remember so many moments from childhood and young adulthood when my creativity flowed freely unhindered by insecurity and fear of judgement.

Thanks to the devotional practices we embarked on collectively (devotion to daily practice, devotion to Spirit, devotion to self), by the end of the container I was more of an open vessel and could more readily give and receive my own medicine.

Creative Counsel was a space for us to tend to our creative fires. We interrogated what it means to live as innately creative beings, gently brush up with the healing potential of meeting our creative selves and face what happens when our creative life force is stifled, channeling life force for a thriving life. A space to get honest and brave with ourselves to identify our unique medicine in this life.

My intention going into creative counsel was to grow roots & find a way to feel more confident in myself, my creative offerings and my ability to trust myself. I feel in such a different place to when I started. Amy’s teachings and offerings, gentle discipline, the dynamic of the group - it all gave me so much. It was true medicine. Provided accountability for me to show up for myself in ways I know I can but find it difficult too. Supportive. Expansive. I love Amy so much. I gain so much wisdom from her and feel so seen, understood and completely myself in all my imperfect ways in her orbit. Really truly profound.

Creative counsel is unexplainable - you just have to do it! I think everyone in the container has a different experience depending on what they are seeking and how they engage with the material. I guess I would say it is a container for raw creativity and vulnerability that can hold you while you explore your edges around topics like creativity, business, motherhood, womanhood, purpose, desire etc”

The most valuable thing for me was having a container within which to explore and play. There was a perfect balance of feeling supported and led by what Amy was doing with the group and also the freedom to bring or do whatever felt right for me at any given moment. Also being given a space to play around my edges with "being seen" in a truly supportive group of women. I unlocked more of myself than I ever envisioned and was able to carry that into other parts of my life

My Intention was to delve deeper into creative expression / shifts I felt called to explore work wise. Yes it met expectations 🙌🏻 but also felt a huge amount of shift / work / understanding in other aspects of my life.
