I'm also what I like to call a Soul Blueprint and Lifestyle Re-Wilding Guide for the Divine Feminine. I work with women and those identifying as women to understand their Energetic Blueprint, so they can find their way home to their Soul and embody the true essence of themselves.
Calling your Soul and your true essence home is what it means to Re-Wild. It is allowing yourself to fully embody your wild and unruly self. The one who longs to return to her untamed nature. The one quieted by years of trying to please and conform. It's a re-wilding of our soul by developing a relationship with the Divine Feminine, and Mother Earth, through ceremony, ritual, and living by our Design. It's peeling the layers of familial, societal and patriarchal conditioning that have tamed us, so that we can align our unique energetic blueprint with that of the Universe and begin to flow with ease (again). Re-wiliding, like healing is a spiral path, it's a process filled with initiation after initiation where you have the ability to be the teacher and the student at the same time. In re-wilding I am both novice and sage.
The stories of my past are the breadcrumbs of my present and my future. I am not an expert in anything. I am someone with embodied knowledge and soul remembrance.

Through our individual stories, we make heart connections and are seen in ways we could never be, but for the vulnerability of our share in Sacred Circle... these are my stories.
Will you join me at the fire?
Of God and the Divine, of wisdom and consciousness and of joy and experience. My relationship with Source has known many peaks and valleys throughout my life. At 18, I was a freshman in college. I had just moved from the Adirondack Mountains to the City of Boston. I spent every Sunday (when not traveling with my college soccer team) exploring various houses of devotion. Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Spiritualist.
While living abroad, I attended Easter Service at the Notre Dam in Paris- the ceremony shook me to the core. In hindsight, the burning of Frankincense was my first remembrance of the Magdalene Rose Temple.
After college and law school, I studied under a Medium at a Church of Spiritualism. I studied Wicca and became an initiate of the Sacred Mists and spent a month in an ashram chanting devotionally to Krishna. My path wandered and was varied.
In 2019- 2020, I hit a spiritual crisis and was in full-on spiritual bypass and running towards candy-coated joy every chance I took. In 2021, I turned back to my japa practice, but it didn't help. In my depression, I heard the calling of the Divine Feminine, but had a complete aversion to the Christian entanglement of prayer, so I turned to the comfort of books.
I returned to my women's studies books from college and began devouring books published from 2013- 2019 (what I like to call my foggy years) by Kaia Ra, Meggan Patterson and Rebecca Campbell. My heart opened to the Magdalene and after reading The Way of the Rose by Clark Strand and Perdita Finn, I transformed my japa practice into my own version of the rosary reciting affirmations to Mary Magdalene, Sophia and to myself. My life slowly began to transform.
In 2022, I received the Rose Codes, which allowed me to shed the layers of religious Christian trauma and shame held in my memories of this life and remembrances of blood, bone and soul. The Rose Codes and meeting my own Beloved brought more love, compassion and forgiveness to my life than I thought possible. My Devotion and connection to Source expanded exponentially.
I am still a Seeker. I seek beauty, compassion, forgiveness, and above all, love, as I tend to the Sacred Wild in direct connection to Source. I seek to unravel years of patriarchal oppression due to the erasure of the Gospel of the Beloved and Yeshua's true teachings and the silencing of the Divine Feminine. I seek to continue to deepen my relationship with the Cosmic Mother, the Magdalene, the Sophia Dragon Tribe and our Mother Earth.
As a Holistic Health Coach, Doula and prenatal yoga teacher I've walked with hundreds of women on their holistic conception to birth journey. I've attended births, facilitated women's conception support circles and taught moon cycle tracking, how to take charge of your fertility as a Fertility Deva and even designed and sold energetically charged crystal Moon Cycle beads.
I've personally experienced infertility, sexual trauma in marriage, fertility treatment, gynecological trauma and pregnancy loss.
The shame I felt as a holistic fertility coach and doula who couldn't get pregnant, carry a pregnancy, and who had never given birth, drastically altered my life. I kept my fertility trauma a secret. I suffered in silence. I left my thriving health coaching and doula practice, Sprouting Wellness, and began developing a non-profit organization, The Odonata Project which morphed into my joining an established for-profit joint-venture. The joint venture ended in a painful business divorce when my business partner experienced a high-risk pregnancy and our relationship imploded. From there, I shifted into business coaching for heart-centered female entrepreneurs and I buried the grief deep within the energetics of my womb.
But you can't bury grief and everything very swiftly fell apart.
Grasping for air I fled my unhappy marriage and established community on the Jersey Shore and started fresh in the Capital District. My health began to improve, but my heart was still broken and alone. I carried such deep shame about my body, my womb and my womanhood. Being in service to other women was the only way I knew how to heal, so I started teaching yoga in women's shelters. But it wasn't enough.
In 2019 I spent a month in India with intentions of deepening my spirituality. While there, my pain was excavated, the scab picked and I bled. I came back raw, broken and alone, with no idea how to piece myself back together. I immediately re-covered (up) my grief and filled the god-sized hole in my heart with wild times, live music and psychedelic travels. I was madly in love with new friends; divine beings of light filled with joy and love and dreams. I was getting glimpses of my soul evolution, love was swirling about me but the lessons were never fully integrated and my grief continued to go unacknowledged and I remained unhealed..
While I met the greatest love of my life the weeks before Covid exploded, once lock down hit I had no where else to hide. All the surface level joys enabling me to ignore grief slipped away. I was working too much and co-dependently caring for everyone but myself. At the end of 2021, the support system of friends I cobbled together post India began to crumble and I entered the darkest nights of my soul. 2022 was a time of grief, remembrance and the illumination of my path to great healing. I serial dated therapists, unpacked childhood wounding, shifted the relationship with my Beloved from trauma bonding and to conscious and both of us committed to healing.
I received the Munay-ki Rites of the Womb and I grieved. In remembrance and through my voice I release shame. I am now a member of a lineage of women who freed themselves from suffering. The womb is not a place to store fear and pain; the womb is to create and give birth to life. We hold the capacity not only for physical creation, but the creative power to manifest ideas, intentions and spiritual transformation.
In 2024, I am still healing and still evolving, story unwritten. Yet one thing I know.... I have not given birth, yet I am a Womb Keeper.
In Traditional Human Design this means that I am an Emotional Generator with a 1/3 profile. I am here to bring inspiration to form, to physically manifest creativity and express through devotion. I have an insatiable curiosity and am designed to explore and experiment and then share my experience with the world - good and bad. My wisdom is in my journey. I am here to innovate and trail blaze finding innovative and sustainable ways to do things. I am a creative problem solver.
I have been energetically sensitive, with the ability to sense, and sometimes see and smell the energetics of the emotions of other people and the energetics of emotions tied to a place or thing. My clairolfactance has always been the strongest, or most accessible clairsalience. To be honest, this is something that has overwhelmed me my entire life. This is something I have kept hidden and suppressed for many years, until a profound experience during a weekend get-away in celebration of my 46th birthday brought it back, stronger than ever.
In my early 30s, I began frequenting the Greater Boston Church of Spiritualism and taking classes and workshops at a metaphysical learning and healing center. This is where I first learned my Human Design, but it didn't resonate. At the time, I was more interested in learning about the traditional Chakra System in the Hatha Pradipika and seed sounds. I began practicing chakra hoop meditation; using an oversized hula hoop in moving meditation with seed sound of the chakra, or a full mantra on its own (om namah shivaya) This was also when I birthed my first business, Karma Hoops Yoga, selling oversized rainbow hoops and teaching hoop meditation classes.
Moving meditation completely transported me. It was an other-worldly journey where I opened myself up to universal light and energy. Unfortunately, I wasn't experienced enough to know I needed to ground and protect myself. I was blowing myself wide open, high on spiritual expansiveness and not protecting myself and leaving my energy open to parasitic chords, cracks and energetic debris. Still my energetic sensitivities continued to expand. By the time I received my Reiki III/Master attunement I could see auric fields, colors, and more prevalently and distressing, darkness. This is an incredible gift for an experienced energetic worker, but I was a dabbling neophyte and in overwhelm. I suppressed my ability creating a self-sabotaging of "not self" decision making and the calcification of my pineal gland. This led to extensive levels of dis-ease including excessive weight gain and endocrine distress in my body.
In 2019, I became reacquainted with Human Design and everything began to change. I obsessively dove into learning Human Design, Quantum Human Design and Gene Keys. I began by experimenting, learning to live by my Strategy and Authority. Human Design gave me the freedom of being exactly as I am. The deconditioning of my Energy Centers (chakras) brought the process of energetic and emotional healing. In 2022, when I paired my deconditioning process with plant meditation (herbs and wild weeds, not necessarily psychotropic plants) and flower essences, I started making quantum leaps in my healing and receiving very clear downloads from Source on how to work with both modalities and Herbalism by Design was born.
Cleaning, clearing, recalibrating my Energy Centers and healing my auric field is an ongoing process and a spiral path. It's also the wound-turned-gift I share in service to Source. The Wild and Unruly Soul Apothecary is the online home of that service. I am a creative problem solver and who uses the tools of energy, emotion, herbs and ritual to find alignment with Source.
I'm an only child who grew up in the 80s. I spent a significant time playing by myself in the woods and in nature, playing in "fort sticks" (my own little clubhouse amongst birch trees), the "salamander pond" and having tea parties with my chipmunk and rock friends making potions of pond water and weeds served with decadent mud pies as tea cakes. As a little girl, the Elementals, flowers, weeds, trees and rocks were all my friends. I was an animist before I even knew what it was and it was conditioned out of me - I think all children are.
My divorced parents loved me in the best way they knew how, but my childhood was emotionally volatile. This led my soul to seek safety outside of my body. Ungrounded, I found stability in my insatiable curiosity, voracious appetite for reading and comfort in various educational systems of learning. I was caught in a people-pleasing loop and all decisions related to higher education, my career-path and future were made to seek validation and love from my parents. Yet my inner child was still running wild through the woods, foraging nuts and berries for food, weaving flowers into my hair, swimming naked in hidden forest pools and talking to fairies.
After receiving a Bachelor’s in Political Communication and Women's Studies, I wanted to start over with a major in conservation and ecology. My parents thought otherwise. We fought about "going backward instead of forwards." Eventually, I went to law school, with aspirations of working in non-profit environmental advocacy. I chose a school with a nationally recognized environmental law clinic and then went on to get an LLM in Environmental and Natural Resource Law. I never loved being an attorney. I have always loved spending time listening to the secrets and the wisdom weeds, trees, mushrooms, flowers and creatures tell you.
As I approach my Chiron return, I find myself moving with urgency towards (or back to) the magic I once found in the woods and in nature. I'm deepening my relationship to Mother Earth and to the land on which I live and care for. My ears and heart open to the wisdom of the Plant Elders. I meditate daily with wild weeds, herbs and flowers in the form of tea journey and ceremony. I am connected to the Sacred Wild that is Mother Earth and as this connection grows, it has woven itself throughout the many faces of my history and mastery.
Through my Apprenticeship with The Sacred Wild and the School of the Sacred Wild, I am studying regenerative healing for both the earth and for humans. This is the most incredible journey of transformation, healing, and education in folk herbalism, earth care and regenerative living. While it is not my intention to become a clinical herbalist, I cannot extract this knowledge from my energetic and healing practice, and my soul's purpose weaving them together.
I am Terra Catherine, daughter of Catherine Lynn, grand daughter of Helen Catherine and great-grand daughter of Grace Catherine.
I'm an ENFJ and Enneagram Type 7, Virgo Sun, Aries Rising and Aquarius Moon. According to the Shamanic Astrology Medicine Wheel Mandala, my soul lineage is the cosmic visionary, I am here to attend the Mystery School of the Wild Woman Archetype as Sacred Warrior protecting and defending the cosmic order, fueled by dedication as a High Priestess to Sacred Work.
I am mother of Great Danes and the partner and lover to my Beloved of many lifetimes.
I've had more therapists than boyfriends, but my deepest healing came from Shamanic Breathwork, working with my mentor, Linda Star Wolf. I am transitioning from codependence and people pleasing to sovereignty. Looking within myself and connecting to Source. Prayer and ritual changed my life.
Some of my greatest heartbreak has come from women in my life yet I (still) believe being in Circle with women is Healing, Holy and Sacred, the energy of that Sacred Circle is one of many of my houses of devotion.
I find my connection to Source in many places, nature, singing, dancing, live music, in Sacred Circle with women and in union with my Beloved.
I'm a bibliophile and a voracious reader and at certain times in my life have read a book a week. I day dream of book-nooks in every room of the house. Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is my favorite book.
I believe digging your hands in the dirt heals. I keep a medicinal and culinary herb gardens. I talk to my apple and peach trees and adorn them with bells and ribbons. I call all plant allies my beloved, but the ones dearest to my heart and most transformative to me are Linden, Stinging Nettles, Burdock, Blue Lotus Flower and Holy Basil.
Peonies, dahlias and sunflowers are my favorite flowers. I get great joy from growing and giving flowers and I'm an Ambassador for the Growing Kindness Project.
As I move ever swiftly towards my Chiron Return, I am transitioning from writing legal agreements on behavioral health for corporations to assisting women in navigating their own soul contracts. I'd rather work for the good of all, than continue to work my way up the corporate ladder.
It is my greatest dream and devoted intention to live in an eco-intentional community made up of growers, cultivators, artists and healers in conscious agreement committed to fostering sustainability and regenerative earth tending. The property will include botanical herb and organic vegetable farm, apothecary and tea house, retreat facilities and Sacred Circle Temple. This is my five year plan. We are not meant to live individually, we thrive as a collective. If this is a part of your dream too, please reach out.
