Mentoring
For those at the threshold of change.
The Call
Life moves in cycles of endings and beginnings, moments of loss, transition, and becoming. Thresholds that invite us to deepen into who we are and how we belong in the world. But you were never meant to navigate these crossings alone.
You may find yourself in one of these moments feeling unsteady, untethered, or quietly undone by what is shifting beneath you.
There are parts of us that try to keep us safe when familiar patterns begin to loosen. They grip tighter as uncertainty grows. This is not failure. It is the nature of change asking something different of us. The contraction before the possibility of expansion.
These moments arrive as invitations: to listen more closely, to loosen what no longer fits, and to allow yourself to be changed by what you are moving through.
Why Thresholds Matter
Many of us were never shown how to honour these moments. What were once held as rites of passage have been commodified leaving us to cross life’s thresholds without guidance.
You may recognise this. The significant moments in your life that passed by without receiving the attention they truly deserved. Experiences that asked to be honoured, but instead were something to endure or push through.
And yet, thresholds are potent. When met with care, they offer opportunities for profound growth, maturation, and reconnection both personally and culturally.
What Mentoring Offers
My mentoring offers a different way. A slower, nature-based ecological and ceremonial approach to meeting change with presence, compassion, and wholeness.
Each threshold asks us to shed skins. Rather than abandoning the parts that once protected you, this work invites you to befriend them and integrate their wisdom as you move forward into the unknown.
What if, instead of bracing against change, you allowed yourself to be accompanied as you step into who you are becoming? What if these moments became places of deep listening, expansion, integration, and deepening — rather than something to simply get through?
Who Is This For?
This work is for you if you find yourself standing at a meaningful turning point, whether it arrives with clarity or confusion, choice or circumstance.
You may be:
Becoming a parent
Entering or leaving a relationship
Changing work or direction
Moving home or country
Marking a significant birthday
Grieving the death of a loved one
You don’t need to be certain about what comes next. What matters is that something is shifting, and you want to meet it with care.
I offer a grounded, attentive space to support you to move through change consciously. Resourced rather than overwhelmed, accompanied rather than alone.
This mentoring supports you to:
Honour the transition you are living through
Make space for grief, excitement, fear, and longing
Move at the pace the process asks, without rushing or bypassing
Carry the gifts of past chapters forward into what is emerging
Create space for whatever is comes next
How We Work Together
Mentoring unfolds over an agreed period of time (typically 4–12 weeks) and includes:
1:1 mentoring sessions
Nature-based solo invitations
Walks or wanders in relationship with place
Ongoing WhatsApp support
A self-designed threshold ceremony, supported by me
Together, we listen for what is emerging and allow the ceremony to take shape organically. Whether witnessed privately or shared with loved ones, the ceremony creates a clear moment of marking, honouring what is ending and welcoming what is beginning.
Our process together might look something like the following:
First Call: Landing together.
Day walk / Wander
Second Call: The story of your wander
Solo invitations
Third Call: Putting it all together for the ceremony
Solo invitations & organising threshold ceremony
Threshold Ceremony
Fourth Call: Integration
My Approach
The pillars of my mentoring include:
Nature connection
Self-designed ceremony & ritual
Embodiment and somatics
Parts work and integration
Practices that gently shift consciousness
This work is informed by the Wild Mind Map and the lineage of Bill Plotkin’s nature-based soul work, alongside influences including emergent strategy, grief tending, somatics, and nervous-system awareness.
My Journey
At the age of 16 I navigated a deep loss. The threshold of a close one's death. Without the presence of mentors and guides I was set adrift in a process of descent and acted out some very self-destructive behaviours. It was only on a solo travelling around France a few years later and sleeping out on the pyrenees did I begin to find my way with the weight of the grief I felt through my experiences with the natural world.
Fast forward nearly two decades later and I am fortunate to be surrounded by incredible mentors and deep relationships that could hold me through all the change that life wants to throw my way, as well as a profound connection with the more-than-human world.
What changed was I decided to participate in a soul quest to mark the transition into my 30’s. That rite of passage provided me with the holding that I was so desperately needing as a teenager to really honour the threshold of change I was at.
Since then I have participated in further quests and deep nature immersions with my mentor Rebecca Card and have been an advocate for the power of nature-based depth work and threshold ceremony It is a powerful way to navigate life’s transitions and challenges through inner resourcing and cultivating a reciprocal relationship with the natural world.

Questo Muro - Anita Barrows
You will come at a turning of the trail
to a wall of flame
After the hard climb & the exhausted dreaming
you will come to a place where he
with whom you have walked this far
will stop, will stand
beside you on the treacherous steep path
& stare as you shiver at the moving wall, the flame
that blocks your vision of what
comes after. And that one
who you thought would accompany you always,
who held your face
tenderly a little while in his hands—
who pressed the palms of his hands into drenched grass
& washed from your cheeks the soot, the tear-tracks—
he is telling you now
that all that stands between you
& everything you have known since the beginning
is this: this wall. Between yourself
& the beloved, between yourself & your joy,
the riverbank swaying with wildflowers, the shaft
of sunlight on the rock, the song.
Will you pass through it now, will you let it consume
whatever solidness this is
you call your life, & send
you out, a tremor of heat,
a radiance, a changed
flickering thing?
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Threshold mentoring is a nature-based, ceremonial approach to supporting life transitions such as endings, beginnings, loss, and significant change. It offers companionship, guidance, and ritual to help you move through transitions consciously and with care.
-
Mentoring can support many thresholds, including grief, relationship changes, becoming a parent, career shifts, relocation, significant birthdays, and other moments where life feels like it is asking something new of you.
-
Mentoring is slower and more process-led than coaching. While coaching focuses on growth and forward movement, mentoring centres on honouring what is ending, integrating what has been, and marking change through nature connection and ceremony.
-
No. The ceremony emerges organically through our work together. Through conversations, nature-based invitations, and listening to what is arising, we discover together what kind of ceremony is being asked for.
-
Mentoring typically includes 1–1 sessions, nature-based solo invitations, walks or wanders in relationship with place, ongoing support between sessions, and a self-designed threshold ceremony supported by me.
-
This mentoring offering is specifically designed for women, informed by women’s rites of passage and relational ways of knowing.
-
Yes, nature connection is a core part of this work. This may include time outdoors where you live, guided solo invitations, or shared walks. You do not need prior experience, only a willingness to listen and be present.
-
Most mentoring containers last between 4–12 weeks, depending on the transition you are navigating and what feels supportive for the process. Some clients choose to continue with adhoc sessions.
-
This work is spiritual in the sense of meaning-making, relationship, and depth, but it is not religious or dogmatic. It honours personal experience, earth-based wisdom, animism as a worldview, and your own way of understanding life and mystery.
