hi, I’m Belinda Marie

As a writer, teacher (M.Ed) subtle body healing practitioner and gentle business creator, I enjoy weaving together my studies and experiences in child development, education, energetic/subtle healing, online creation and the spiritual path of feminine soul, to offer women a nourishing space of quiet reflection, unforced healing and softening into soul, where their inner world and heart is truly valued and seen.

Over the years I have worked 1:1 with women in the realms of feminine healing, writing and expression, and gentle visibility, while also creating writings, courses and resources on a range of topics- including unraveling from outer expectations and softening into the inner path of soul, embracing sensitivity, restoring feminine value, finding beauty and faith in uncertainty, selling and sharing online in gentler ways, business growth without relying on social media, natural content creation/online expression, and coming back to the receptive nature of Being.

Most of my resources, writings and courses naturally sit within two main areas; The Feminine Soul Path and Gentle Creation.

The feminine soul path is focused on the inner recovery of feminine values, essence, wisdom and heart, in order to restore deep trust, soul intimacy, self-gentleness and a sense of truly being able to soften into one’s natural unfolding, genuine desires and intuitive heart. Women who resonate with this path may find themselves being inextricably drawn to reclaiming repressed feminine aspects, gifts and ways of being that seem counter to what is rewarded and valued in a masculine-driven culture. For a woman on this soul path, the reclamation of the feminine is not just something that is nice or interesting to do, but is an essential aspect of her creative and spiritual unfolding. It is therefore something that will continue to seek her attention, no matter how much she has been taught to repress or devalue the feminine.

Gentle Creation is focused more on the creative path and business/creation, and how to navigate this realm in a way that does not require an abandonment of the feminine body, heart and soul, or a contortion of the true essence and nature of what the individual woman is here to express, teach, share or create. Beyond creating a specific business/creation, Gentle Creation is also about creating a life and way of being and contributing that reflects the awakening soul, and allows a woman to truly honour her natural unfolding, rather than forcing herself to fit in with the pace, expectations and values that dominant culture has taught her to follow.

For the women I work with, The Feminine Soul Path and Gentle Creation are usually interlinked, as much of our creative expression and ability to see the value of what we offer, is based on how we value and perceive ourselves. If we are subconsciously rejecting and devaluing our feminine essence and path, we are rejecting and devaluing the core of who we are at a soul level, which makes it very difficult to express and create in ways that feel truly authentic to our nature. I also find that many of the strategies, approaches and expectations around business in its more traditional iteration go against the true desires and natural ways of the feminine soul, leaving many women on this soul path confused about why they feel so blocked or stuck when they try to create and share their heart and soul expressions/artistry through more traditional templates of business.

Soul and Self is a tender, always evolving space where I have been lucky enough to connect with thousands of women who are on their own distinct paths of softening and deepening into their creative, feminine soul. If you’ve just discovered this space, I’m so glad to welcome you here. Because I’m not on social media, if you’d like to stay connected, I suggest subscribing here to my email community, which is where you’ll receive updates including latest writings and offerings.
