Meet Baya
I work with women who feel like they've ticked all the boxes — motherhood, career, home, stability — and still find themselves asking: is this it?
When women come to me, they are often at a crossroads. Something in them knows there must be more, but they can't yet see the path forward.
I don't use traditional therapy. I work with magic, storytelling, and the power of historical enchantresses — women across time who transformed their lives and their worlds without certainty, without permission, and often without a map.
In my work, you don't just learn about these women — you meet them. You recognize yourself in them. And slowly, you begin to remember what you are capable of.
Before any of this, I spent years working in mental health with Britain's NHS. I watched, again and again, how people could be "recovered" and still not know who they were. That gap — between being fine and being yourself — is what I've spent the years since trying to close.
Then I turned fifty. At a birthday gathering in my own garden, a friend looked at me and said, "Baya, you are now a Crone, your time is done." I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach.
That sentence — and my refusal to accept it — is where this work actually began.
