Work one to one with me

There is a deep need for spaces in which women and mothers can be held and witnessed without being pathologized and diagnosed with “disorders”. We are not broken, our culture is.

I offer intimate space holding and support for women who feel the need to be witnessed and held in a space where they are able to meet their own power and capacity to know and feel what is True.

Women who work with me often do so over long periods of time as they navigate periods of change and transition. Such as (but not limited to), pregnancy, birth and motherhood. My work with addiction, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, OCD, death and grief, personally and professionally has opened me up in profound ways to be able to hold complex and deep material.

I customise my offering based on your needs. I also work with couples in service to thriving family health.

I am not a medical doctor or psychologist- my holistic therapeutic containers offer a space for those who are looking for support outside of or alongside, the medical model.

I am in regular therapy and have the support of elders and a supervisor who provide a soundboard for my work.

GROUP WORK WITH ME

I offer ceremonies that honour sacred rites of passage throughout a woman’s life cycle. Blessings ways, closing of the bones and midlife / 40th celebrations are just some of the ceremonies I have held for women in my community.

When women are preparing for birth, postpartum or rebirths of aspects of their psyche, it is a powerful practice to pause and open the portal for community to witness her and be transformed by ceremony.

“Working with Amy is one of the best decisions I’ve made in navigating the journey of living my dreams. We’ve worked together to define tools and practices that specifically and sensitively address areas for development in a way that has meant I can meet myself with more compassion and capacity for building a sound foundation for the next stage of my journey through life”
“My work with Amy is an investment that I know will continue to pay off in many ways for many years. Amy created a safe space - free of judgement and expectation in which I could feel my feelings, some for the first time ever. The work itself was highly tailored to my specific situation, the challenges I faced and the questions I was asking of myself. It was so helpful to be guided through my thoughts, offered room to feel and have those feelings validated. During our sessions we explored various practices and ideas, with more support offered on those that resonated with me. The work we did together has helped me find a deep knowing that I am on the right path and given me tools to help me continue my journey”
“You have given me the most incredible gift of loving myself. I remember in one of our earlier sessions I admitted that I didn’t know what loving myself felt like, I do now”
"It is so difficult to articulate what my sessions with Amy mean to me. I've been to a good handful of therapists/coaches in my life but nothing comes close to the dynamic we have. I feel seen, held, understood and unjudged by her in a way that feels liberating. Together we've uncovered parts of myself that I had not even approached understanding. These revelations still regularly surprise me.”
“We've explored safety and anxiety and forgiveness and so much more.She feels like a good friend. The supportive, invested friend and also the friend who doesn't allow me to wallow in victimhood and keeps me accountable - but not through shame. Her approach is honest and real, while still being gentle. Working with her helps me to become the most powerful version of myself, We've breathed and danced and talked and laughed and cried together (all over zoom) and I am, without a doubt, a better version of myself for our sessions. Still human. But a better me. If finding a therapist/teacher/coach/guide that 'gets you' and that you trust is the goal, I have found that in Amy"
“The change I feel inside myself is a kind of magic. All the work we did together I’m putting into a big jump and none of it would have been possible without you. In all of my wildest dreams I didn’t think I’d be here”

About your guide

I’m Amy May.

I'm a mother to two boys, writer, postpartum professional, counsellor & what I feel so aptly captures it all - spiritual midwife. Midwife means “with woman / mother’.

I support women through major life transitions and mothers through pre-conception, pregnancy (and loss), birth (and trauma) to postpartum. Postpartum simply means ‘after birth’; mothers are “postpartum” for life. 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 are fulfilled as mothers and creators.

My work is an intersection of my personal experience and professional trainings with teachers and master plants. Addiction, pregnancy loss, chronic mental health issues such as eating disorders, anxiety, OCD and postpartum psychosis, are the types of material I have worked through in the last 16 years.

My 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, to name a few. Some of these are noted below:
