Where can you learn more about the Gaian Path and how following it can help you ditch the black dog of depression?
The best place to learn about me and my work is on my blog and my podcast.
You can access both of them here on my website.
BUT if you don’t want to miss out on any of my posts, you can subscribe to my Substack and get everything sent direct to your email inbox.
I don’t have comments open on my website cos it creates so much spam, so if you want to ask questions or chat about anything I write and speak about, you can do that over on Substack.
If you’re new to Substack, I highly recommend it. It’s like social media, but without the constant bombardment of ads, hate speech, trolling or any other shenanigans. Pop over and check it out. There are loads of excellent writers and creators to follow.

You don't have to battle the Black Dog of depression alone!
The Black Dog Café is a FREE, off-Facebook sanctuary for depressed souls who are done pretending they’re fine.
No pressure. No platitudes.
Just connection, compassion, and a generous serving of Gaian Magick to help you feel less alone and feel supported as you get back to feeling more you.
Don't bother getting out of your PJ's - just grab a coffee (or your favourite drink) and come on over.
You don’t have to battle the Black Dog alone. I'm saving a space for you! ☕
The café is a safe space on the edge of the virtual retreat, where the Black Dog no longer bites, just curls up beside us as we begin to create a life worth waking up again for.
How you can work with me.
You can work with me online from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access.
The best place to get support is in the Ditch the Black Dog Virtual Retreat, but I do also offer packages of one to one sessions that provide you with more intensive and individual support and guidance.
Or, you can work with me face to face here in the Costa Blanca region of Spain.
Read on for more details.
The Gaian Pathfinder Sessions
The Gaian Pathfinder Sessions are designed to give you a taste of what it’s like to work with me.
We’ll explore some of the ways that I can help you get started on your journey.
Over 7 days, you get 3 x 30-minute calls plus support in between.
Everything happens inside your own private online room that you can access 24/7 for the duration of our time together.
I want to give you a real insight into how following the Gaian Path with me can help you to ditch the black dog of depression and create a life worth waking up again for.
Introducing the Ditch the Black Dog Virtual Retreat
When you’re battling depression, finding effective support can feel impossible.
Maybe you've been prescribed medications that leave you feeling numb, or you're suffering from hideous side effects that make you feel even more miserable!
Or you've waited months for an appointment with a therapist, only to find you don't feel comfortable with them or their methods.
Maybe you get an hour of therapy a week, with no additional support when you need it most?
If you've been lucky enough to access traditional therapy, maybe it hasn't worked the way you hoped. Or your allocated sessions ended just as you were starting to open up, leaving you feeling lost and alone.
Perhaps you clawed your way out of one dark episode of depression, only to find the black dog crept back in and the whole exhausting battle began all over again.
Or have you received treatment in hospital and now find yourself struggling to put the pieces of your life back together by yourself?
Enough already!
It's time to end the cycle of suffering.
I created the Ditch the Black Dog Virtual Retreat as a solution to the problems I encountered when I needed help with depression.
Join the Ditch the Black Dog of Depression Virtual Retreat
I've included all the things I needed when I felt like my life wasn't worth waking up for, including support with societal and cultural causes of depression.

Take a look - it might be exactly what you need to help you put depression into remission for good.
