Hello! My name is Britt.

The woman behind Wild Feminine Collective.

​

My journey began in 2017 when I began acupuncture for a discomfort in my hip and learned very quickly that this physical pain was in actuality a physical manifestation of my abandoned grief.

​

As soon as I started creating space for this repressed emotion, life met me with a series of "awakening" experiences that forced me to go deeper to confront more of me. For the first time in my life I began to let down of my walls of denial and allowed myself to be with all of my deep dark and repressed parts--the low self worth I felt from my upbringing, the grief of my fathers death, the pain from my sexual abuse, the deep feelings of abandonment I felt as a child. Up until these awakenings, my life was a direct reflection of the pain, abandonment, and lack I was feeling on the inside, as well as all of the limiting beliefs to go with them. 

 

To my surprise, the more I began to develop an intimate relationship with these repressed parts of me, the more whole I started to feel. And the more whole I started to feel, the more I felt like I needed to share my story and to utilize my experiences as a catalyst for not only my transformation, to also support others in their own unique journeys. 

​

The truth is, I believe all of our experiences contain hidden gifts for us to utilize for our ultimate greater good. Accepting the depth of my experiences and all of the emotions associated changed me. It change my entire outlook and how I approach life. It allowed me to become a student of my experiences. 

​

I also became fascinated with honoring all of my cycles, my phases, my rhythms, and everything that makes me a feminine being. I realized how much I had been suppressing these parts of my nature and most importantly how this was not unique to me...it was a byproduct of cultural conditioning.

​

Having a background in dance, I leaned heavily on somatic modalities to get me through and became a student of the body, sensations, sensuality, and emotions. I also became a student of my shame, my deep seated grief, and my rage--all things dark feminine.​

​

​In addition to being a somatic facilitator, I am a self portrait/feminine portrait photographer, writer, and a student of the subconscious, reprogramming limiting beliefs, as well as somatic/neural manifestation. All of my passions tend to overlap and harmoniously work together to support healing, empowerment, and transformation.

 

I believe that simplicity + practicality = efficiency. I have a background in integrative/holistic well-being, so I also believe in getting to the root of things that arise rather than bandaiding and that the journey is less about a destination of healing and more about learning how to hold and move through--in ways that nurture our uniqueness most.

​

I hold space with an open heart, warmth, and deep reverence for each woman I am honored to work with. It is my mission to support women in cultivating a pleasureful life--filled with depth, acceptance, strength, softness, and inner peace.
