Hi, my name is Joanna Joy

I am a Shamanic Healer, specialising in working with women, to heal wombs and trauma, and the wounds of womanhood.

I am just starting to expand my 1-2-1 healing practise to work with clients internationally, online, and I have just launched my Online Courses in Shamanic Womb Healing, called ‘Heal Your Womb’.

‘Heal Your Womb’ is a DIY toolkit of Shamanic Womb Healing Techniques that teach women how to;

• Release Your Pain and Restore Your Power

• How to be your own Womb Shaman to Heal the Wounds of your Womanhood.

Whether the Wounds of a Womanhood are physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, these techniques can help. 

These same techniques have brought amazing transformations for so many of my clients, who come with many different female issues, from menstrual, gynaecological, or fertility issues, to birth preparation requirements, post-natal support and restoration, or healing...

If you’ve taken a stroll through your nearest shopping district recently, you will have seen that animal prints have taken the fashion world by storm this season.

In particular, Snake skin and Leopard prints are the must-have items in your Autumn 2018 wardrobe.

Now, it is not often that I take to my keyboard to comment on the ebbs and flows of the catwalks (ahem, never !).  But this season, my interest has been piqued …

Anyone that knows me knows that I am no fashionista !!  But I AM a wild woman who is down with Mother Earth and her creatures, and I have a secret about the Serpent and the Leopard to share with you …

In many ancient traditions, the Serpent and the Leopard/Jaguar bring gifts of healing, transformation and rebirth from the dark and shadowy experiences of our past.

Serpent holds the power to help us shed the skins of ourselves that no longer serve us; limiting behaviours and patterns, old and unhelpful...

Today I responded to an article that was posted up on a group that I run. 

 I didn’t actually read the article itself, but the excerpts that were posted as an intro to the article made my flames rise, I have to say !

I was asked by a member of the group to post my reply as a blog post, so here it is !! ...

 But first, the intro that riled me ! ...

"It is time to move from being the victim to being the compassionate, understanding heart who moves beyond anger...

...We must look beyond the eyes of a victim, and see that we are ALL the threads that interweave into the tapestry of our planet, of our history...

...Humanity is suffering, and if we point our fingers at the opposite gender and blame them for our pain, then we are creating even deeper wounds for the collective...

...How can we educate and communicate with men about how we want to be treated if we are not creating a container for this conversation to happen?"

 From the article ..

I live on a boat, which got washed away from its mooring in Yorkshire, along with about 8 other boats, during the Boxing Day floods, when the River Aire breeched into the canal navigation, just downstream from Leeds. And so we have been temporarily re-located until sufficient safety and maintenance works have been done on the canal length, so that we can return to our mooring.

You may be wondering what this has to do with disposable sanitary products .... Well read on and you will find out ....

So yesterday, we went to go and clean up our mooring, in preparation for returning after the Boxing Day flooding dramas.

While my Other Half shovelled sludge and mud, I did a litter pick up and down the mooring.

It is a sad looking state of affairs, as the whole length of the canal and river has litter caught in all of the trees and bushes at the level the flood waters reached.

And I would estimate that between 50 and 75%of this rubbish is made up of...

I was inspired to write this post after being asked what my thoughts were in regards to the claim that white people who have dreadlocks have culturally appropriated this hairstyle from black people, and as such it is offensive to them. This is my take on it ...

I am South African by birth, and although I moved to the Uk when very small, I have been back to South Africa many times in my life. I have many family members who live out there.

There is nowhere on earth that I know of that racism and white privilege is more obvious and in such constantly culturally clashing contrast, between white and black people, as in South Africa.

The last time I went, I had dreadlocks, and I can't tell you what a different experience it was to be a white person, backpacking on all the forms of transport that only black people use.

My white privileged family told me firstly that there wasn't even a train system running anymore. Wrong. But only back people use it. I was told...

You can call for a power animal to help you with any aspect of your life, and they bring you a gift of energy to assist you with that situation. This is a done by taking a shamanic journey, or visualisation journey, the purpose being to call upon energetic assistance from the animal spirit realm to help you in whatever way you need it.

To give you some examples, you could call upon a power animal to;

• help you heal in some way, eg from birth trauma, grief, abuse etc

• strengthen you if you suffer from eg. fear, anxiety, lack of confidence

• help you maintain strong positive energy dynamics/boundaries with those around you eg. partner, parents, children, work colleagues, friends etc

• support you through difficult or challenging life circumstances/transitions eg. leaving a relationship, moving house, changing job, having a baby

• help you to conceive

• help you sleep

• give you more energy

• help you child's eczema (you dont need...

This article was written after I undertook some informal research on a freebirth forum that I am a member of, on why women choose to freebirth. This is what I discovered ...

Terminology

Firstly, I’d like to just address the issue of terminology regarding birthing without medical assistance;

While the term Unassisted Childbirth (or UC - coined by Laura Kaplan-Shanley in the book entitled Unassisted Childbirth) is commonly used these days to refer to a birth that is planned and occurs without medical assistance, the term ‘freebirth’ seems to be generally preferred by freebirthers themselves, as they consider their experience to be one that is ‘free’ or ‘freeing’, whereas the term Unassisted Childbirth implies that childbirth ought to be assisted by someone, and that the mother cannot or should not be doing it by herself.

Also the idea and term of ‘assistance’ is further muddied by differing opinions on what...

I’d like to share with you my story of Freebirthing with my good friend Mary-Jane.

Yes, I smoked Ganga at the very end of my pregnancy, through labour, and during the first 2-3 weeks post-partum. I had not smoked anything at all through the rest of my pregnancy, and had not been a habitual smoker for many years.

Here is my experience.......

During my late teens and 20s, I smoked Ganga regularly and habitually. For me it was emotional and mental anaesthetic to numb the pain caused by very violent and traumatic experiences I had from age 17-21. During my 20s I also started learning about healing, and as my healing journey progressed, I relied less and less upon my good friend Mary-Jane, until by my 30s I no longer smoked it regularly. Very occasionally I would be given some in trade or exchange for some healing I had done for someone. And it would sit in a special box for the time when I might really need it. When my father died, for example, I had some that...
