ABOUT
Hi, I'm Naomi.
I'm a Spiritual Director and Holistic Life Coach based in Dorset, England. I provide support, online and in person.
I help women who find themselves at a quiet threshold — sensing that something is shifting within them, and wanting space to listen without being rushed, fixed, or led away from what matters most.
Why I do this work
From an early age, I trusted my inner sense of the divine, a trust many women later find themselves longing to return to. Questions were welcomed; faith felt spacious, alive, and responsive.
Mystery wasn’t something to resolve — it was something to live with.
Which was not always welcomed or trusted in the places I inhabited.
​​
I found healing and hope within the caring and skilled spaces held by other wise women, the kind of space I now hold for others. We heal in the presence of someone who trusts our wisdom before we can.
Why North Star - West Wind?
These two images — star and wind — express the balance I hold in my practice.
The north star gives direction, and the west wind brings life.
​
First we pause to contemplate, to rest in what is, so that we can restore and feel grounded. And then we move forward, taking inspired action, exploring your "could be".
North Star
Steadfast Light
Is a dependable anchor in the night sky that's enabled travellers to navigate with confidence, whatever the challenges.
West Wind
New Life
The warm, gentle breeze that marks the end of winter and ushers in Spring. Bringing new life, possibility, growth and transformation.
Together we identify your North Star and prepare to welcome the West Wind.
I believe that we are only as healthy as our connection to the divine, to ourselves, to others, and to the earth.
When these relationships are tended with love and curiosity, life begins to flow again, with peace, clarity, and hope.
​
For me, life/faith is about welcoming and exploring our questions because they call to wisdom. We may not discover the answers we want, yet the process opens us to new possibilities and teaches us to live more deeply, fully and peacefully.
​
I don’t believe faith asks us to shrink, it invites us to expand,
to live with openness, courage, and joy each and every day.
My Approach
I blend coaching, contemplative writing, embodiment practices, silence, creativity, and the simple grace of being together, to help you balance three central wisdoms in your life.​
The wisdom without
Scripture, nature, the universe, tradition - the presence that moves beyond you
The wisdom within
Your intuition, body knowing, inner voice - the presence who dwells within you
The wisdom among us
Collective wisdom and the shared reflection and perspective of others
​When these are in harmony, you're able to rest, discern what is true for you, and live with a sense of peace that doesn’t depend on certainty.
A thread of Wisdom to sit with
Jesus said "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me.
Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
MATTHEW 11 V 28-30
Why choose me?
I offer presence first — steady, attentive listening that doesn’t rush you toward resolution or away from what matters.
​
You don't have to twist yourself into someone smaller to belong. This work helps you move forward without contorting yourself to fit beliefs, roles, or expectations that no longer feel fully yours.
​
Many women find their inner voice grows clearer, decisions feel simpler, and next steps feel less daunting.
​
The movement is grounding, gentle, and real — a way to walk forward without leaving yourself, or God, behind.

BEHIND THE SCENES
I’m someone who delights in colour and small joys of the everyday.
My work is supported by regular supervision and ongoing study.
​
I read, reflect, pray, and prepare carefully for each conversation — not to arrive with answers, but to stay attentive to what is emerging in you.
​
I’m sustained by simple rhythms that keep me grounded — long walks by the sea, reading poetry, making quilts and listening for God in ordinary days.
​
These practices shape my presence for the work I hold with others.
​
I work to a steady rhythm, with clear limits, so that this remains gentle, grounded, sustainable work — for you and for me.
