How This Reading Supports You
Shadow work is about integration—learning to hold space for the parts of yourself that have been hidden, rejected, or misunderstood. This reading provides insight into:
Your subconscious patterns—what influences your emotions and behaviours beneath the surface.
Unresolved emotional wounds—what needs acknowledgement and healing?
Cycles of transformation in your life—the deeper themes guiding your personal evolution.
Current astrological influences—how planetary energies are shaping your healing journey.
Practical tools for self-integration—ways to navigate emotional depth with clarity and self-compassion.
This session is for those who feel stuck in repeating emotional cycles, drawn to deep inner work, or in a period of intense personal transformation.
The Spirit, History & Symbolism of Yew
The Yew tree is one of the oldest and most mysterious trees in the natural world. Known as the Tree of Death and Rebirth, it has long been associated with transformation, the subconscious, and the cycles of life, death, and renewal. Yew trees were planted in ancient burial grounds, their presence a reminder that endings are always followed by new beginnings.
In Celtic and Druidic traditions, Yew was considered a guardian of deep wisdom, guiding those who sought to confront their inner shadows. It holds the essence of deep healing, ancestral memory, and profound change—making it the perfect tree to accompany the journey of shadow work.
Like the Yew, we all carry the layers of our past within us—old patterns, buried fears, and hidden strengths waiting to be reclaimed. This reading is designed to help you navigate your subconscious terrain, uncover emotional patterns, and find clarity in your personal transformation.
