A Reintroduction

28 March 2023

Hi, I'm Katy.

I’m currently based in the UK.

I became a mum at 40 years old.

I'm now almost 43 and my son is 2.5.

I had the wisdom and tools to find a way to birth outside of the system despite many barriers to doing so, and Eden arrived earthside into my arms in my friend’s cottage in the Welsh hills where I also honoured the first 40 days sacred window.

Between then and now since then life has been tough, particularly regarding putting down roots and growing branches, having to face eviction, multiple houses falling through and moving 3 times in 3 years.

My menstrual cycle didn't begin again until a month ago after our breastfeeding journey came to an end, and then two weeks later I began bleeding, and felt an equilibrium return to me.

I haven't had sexual or intimate relationship since I was 8 months pregnant which is the longest amount of time I've been celibate since becoming sexually active in my teens.

I've been full-time solo mumming all this time, but I'm starting to feel the next chapter.

We're still cosleeping and Eden began at kindergarten in January two mornings per week.

We go to a weekly mother's fire on local land and used to go to a singing mamas choir and do various other nature based activities with friends.

I've worked in corporate and creative sectors, youth and environmental non profits, I've been a yoga teacher, ran nature retreats to get city folk back into nature, I've been a sex worker, I am beginning grief and death work,

I'm fascinated by birth, sex and death, and in particular bringing birth, death, children and mothers back into the community.

I was diagnosed with asd (autism spectrum disorder) last year, but relate more with the term neurodivergence or neuroqueer, which I feel really are symptoms of our sick society, where something must change.

I care deeply about integrated, embodied empowerment, coming back to wholeness.

I long for the village, I long for co-created, intentional, nature and soul based community.

Soil and soul.

And breathe...!

Much love x
