If you’re nodding your head right now, then the Gaian Pathfinder Sessions are for you.
I’ll work with you one to one for 28 days for less than the average cost of one hour of traditional therapy.
The Gaian Pathway Sessions are a brilliant introduction to how following the Gaian Path could help you to ditch the black dog of depression and create a life worth waking up again for.
Why work with me?
I’ve been where you are. I battled the Black Dog of depression for decades before I discovered the Gaian Path.
Since 2015, I’ve dedicated my life to discovering a better way to work through depression than just taking medication and talking to a therapist for an hour a week (if you’re lucky enough to access therapy at all.)
I realised pretty quickly that you can’t talk your way out of depression – you have to find the root cause of why you feel so low and then dig that root out once and for all.
The thing is that we can’t do this alone. We need support from people who understand and who are compassionate, inspiring, motivating and who’ll hold our hand as we walk the path out of the darkness. I’d love to be that person for you.
I fought and won my own battle with the black dog and then I certified as an ecotherapist (animal assisted), coach, counselor and energy healer so I could help others do the same. Merging these skills with the rituals, ceremonies and spells I practice as a Gaian Witch has created something very special.
The Gaian Path was born from my own experiences and it expanded and developed as I worked with other people suffering from depression. It combines tools that are based in the latest neuroscientific findings, practical lifestyle changes, community support, connection with what really matters, sacred activism and the secret sauce – Gaian Magick – also known as therapeutic green witchcraft.
This pathway isn’t for everyone. I created the Gaian Pathway Sessions so you can find out if it’s your cup of cacao.
What are the Gaian Pathfinder Sessions?
I created the Gaian Pathfinder Sessions (GPS) as a low cost, no commitment personal introduction to the Gaian Path.
The Gaian Pathfinder Sessions are designed to help you to decide if Gaian Magick is for you.
Maybe you're skeptical or 'woo curious' and you wonder if I'm spawn of the devil or some sort of snake oil seller.
I get it.
At the start of my journey, I'd have laughed in your face if you tried to convince me of the efficacy of some of the tools I use today!
What I'm going to show you is unlike anything else and I know that makes it seem a bit 'out there'.
I'd love for you to stay open minded and give it a go.
How do the Gaian Pathfinder Sessions work?
You’ll get a link to your very own private online room where we can chat about what’s going on in your life.
You get three approximately 30-60 minute chats that take place on Day 1, Day 11 and Day 22, or thereabouts.
Don’t worry if you’re neurodivergent or socially anxious, you can choose to speak to me via video, audio or in the text chat box. Whatever you need – it’s no problem.
The chats will be saved so you can revisit them whenever you need to.
We’ll start by chatting about why you feel depressed and dig a little deeper into what’s causing it.
To do this, I’ll take you on a Soul Journey into the past to find out where the depressed feelings began. It might not be where you think.
You’d be surprised how many people believe they’re depressed for a specific reason, only to discover it’s something totally unexpected!
Once we’ve uncovered the cause of the depression, we can take action to root it out.
We’ll talk about all the other ways that could help you feel healthy, happy and whole such as: –
🧼 Detoxifying your life;
🔥 Coping with depression inducing situations – money issues, divorce, bereavement, awful job, bad relationships, health etc
💗 Healing your emotional wounds;
🧠 Banishing psychological blocks;
🌎 Finding hope in a chaotic world;
🔮 Discovering your purpose;
🛠️ Creating a toolkit of resources to help you feel good;
🕯️ Rituals to help you take back control;
✨ and how to bring a little magick into your life!
Because these sessions only last for 28 days, we’ll focus on ONE thing that would make the most difference in your life. We can’t fix everything in such a short time.
We’ll decide together where the best place for you to start on the Gaian Path.
Because your room is available 24/7, you can ask questions and share your thoughts in there whenever they come up.
You can post pictures, audios, videos or type in the traditional chat box.
I’ll respond as soon as I can, sharing tools, rituals, actions and remedies to help you get started on your personal path to ditching the black dog of depression.
The sessions are all tailored to you and your personal circumstances.
Your experience with depression is unique to you and so your recovery will need to be designed for you, too.
No cookie cutter solutions here.
I might pull tarot cards, record a guided meditation, or advise you to get a particular essential oil to boost your mood.
Maybe we’ll talk about boundary setting, how to get better sleep – whatever you need.
This isn’t a clinical setting, it’s a nurturing space and although we’ll do deep healing work, I want you to feel safe and nourished by the end of your week with me.
I’ll share with you a taste of what it’s like inside the Ditch the Black Dog Virtual Retreat, but you’ll be under no pressure to continue working with me. That’s entirely up to you!
Why do I offer these sessions at such a low cost?
As I’m sure you’ve figured out by now, my work isn’t typical and isn’t everybody’s cup of cocoa.
I decided very early on that I wouldn’t offer my long term one to one packages to people who haven’t worked with me before, since I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and money if my work isn’t what they expect!
But I wanted a way to let interested folks try before committing to buy, so they know exactly what it’s like to walk the Gaian Path with me.
What you’ll get:
Once you’ve gone through the check out, you’ll get access to all the instructions you need to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Gaian Pathway Sessions a Substitute for Working with a Licensed Medical Doctor?
As a certified coach, counsellor, energy and Soul healer and nature therapist, I’m professionally bound to tell you that your first port of call when you feel depressed should be your doctor or a licensed medical professional who can prescribe medication.
But I have a caveat.
If for some reason you can’t get access to therapy, (maybe you’re on a long waiting list) or you’ve tried traditional therapy and counseling but just didn’t benefit from it the way you hoped, the services offered here at Ditch the Black Dog could be for you.
You could use the resources provided in conjunction with therapy, to fill in the gaps between sessions or to help you fast track your recovery.
Your experience with depression is personal to you and it’s entirely your choice how you choose to help yourself.
You know yourself better than anyone and you know what your personal challenges are.
If what you’ve been doing isn’t working for you, it’s ok to try something different.
My advice is to take what works for you and leave the rest behind.
Who Is This For?
This is for you if you are sick and tired of being depressed and trying to act like you’re ok when you’re not.
It’s for you if you’ve made the decision to survive and you’re ready to take some action. I won’t ask you to do anything huge or that’s too much. This is a gentle start on your journey.
It’s for you if you believe in the power of magick, or if you’re woo curious and you want to test the waters.
It’s definitely for you if you love nature and have a deep urge to make the world a better place.
If you’ve tried the usual methods of dealing with depression and they haven’t worked for you, then this is for you.
Who Is This NOT For?
It’s not for you if you’re in crisis.
Please call an emergency helpline or make an urgent call to your doctor. You can find some resources here: https://findahelpline.com/
This is NOT for you if you’re looking for a quick fix, or you want someone else to heal your life.
It’s not for you if you’re not willing to take responsibility for your life. You have to be willing to do the work to change your situation.
It’s not for you if you simply want to disprove the efficacy of my work, or you staunchly believe it will not work for you.
What's Included?
-
3 x 30-60 minute one-to-one calls with me over the course of 28 days.
-
24/7 access to your own private online room where you can reach out between calls. We’ll work together for 28 days. Your room will remain open for 3 months in total so you can revisit your sessions if you need to.
-
A taste of what’s inside the Ditch the Black Dog Virtual Retreat – including a simple healing ritual and practices that work with nature and magick.
-
Personalised recordings that you can keep so you leave with something complete and healing, even if you never work with me again.
I don’t want to leave you feeling lost and alone at the end of our time together.
My aim is that you feel complete at the end of the 28 days, so that even if we never work together again, you can continue on your path to recovery.
Do I Need to Bring Anything to the Sessions?
I will give you a full list of what you need to be, do and have once you’ve moved through the checkout.
Some things will be optional, none need to cost a lot of money.
Will This Work For Me?
I’d like you to come to this work with an open mind and open heart.
The whole point of these sessions is to find out if following the Gaian Path can help you to ditch the black dog of depression.
I’m not a guru. I know that everything that’s worked for me, and the others I’ve shared it with, may not work for everyone.
And that’s ok.
If it’s not for you, go with grace and find the right person to help you. No judgement, no problem.
The only thing I would say is that I’d love you to be willing to give it a chance.
Some people see instant results, some see results a few weeks after working with me and some might not see results for ages.
I ask everyone to record their thoughts and feelings throughout the sessions and beyond in a journal, because sometimes it’s only when you look back that you can see how far you’ve come.
What if I Can't Do All the Sessions Within 28 Days?
Please talk to me about it and we’ll see what we can arrange.
Can I Buy These Sessions More Than Once?
No. I offer these sessions as an introduction to the Gaian Path to find out if it’s effective for you.
Once you’ve completed the 28 days, if you want to continue working with me, you can join the Ditch the Black Dog Virtual Retreat or if you feel you need one to one support, you can book a longer package with me.
Full details of how you can work with me are available here:

Why Are You Only Charging $111? Does it mean it's not worth much?
I believe in a fair and just society.
I also believe that help with depression should be available to anyone who needs it.
I believe that following the Gaian Path can be an effective way to ditch the black dog of depression.
I believe in it with all my heart and Soul.
I’d love you to experience it and discover if it’s for you, but I don’t want money to be the reason you don’t try it.
All I ask is that you give me some honest feedback at the end of your sessions.
This will help me to improve my services and help me to understand your needs better.
$111 is a stretch for me - do you have a payment plan?
I don’t personally offer a payment plan for the Gaian Pathway Sessions – but you do have the option at checkout to split payments if you use Klarna.
NOTE: If you are struggling financially, please do not make your situation worse. I do not advise adding to credit card debt.
If your finances are causing or contributing to your feelings of depression, I have a free money magick workshop coming soon. Email me to find out more and be added to the interest list : [email protected]
I Changed My Mind, Can I Have a Refund?
All payments for Gaian Pathway Sessions must be paid in full in advance.
If for some reason, you cannot make it, you MUST let me know as soon as possible.
If you would like, it may be possible to change the date of your Sessions for more suitable ones.
The best thing to do is contact me, so we can come up with the best plan to suit your circumstances.
I’m going to address the elephant in the room now.
When I was depressed, I knew I needed help, but when I was about to go to a counselling or therapy session, I’d get the urge to cancel.
Please be brave and come to your sessions.
If you cancel your Gaian Sessions with less than 24 hours notice, no refunds will be given.
If you cancel after you’ve started your sessions, no refunds will be given.
However, if I cancel the sessions, you will receive a FULL refund without quibble.

This is typically the space where most peopIe ask you to sign up for their newsletter.
But I know that when you're feeling depressed the last thing you need is loads of emails you'll never read clogging up your inbox.
Yes, you need tips, tools, and suggestions, but you also need to feel seen and heard by people who understand you.
This is my invitation to you to come join me in the Black Dog Café for a chat. All you have to do is bring yourself and your favourite drink!
The café is a little bit different than the typical online groups you might have seen before, and it's perfectly ok if you only want to lurk at first!
