Sisterhood Initiative Sanctuary

A place to come home to yourself!

A positive outlook gives clarity. It is so easy to get caught up in negative thoughts and language. In fact, so much around us enforces this. But if we change how we see things through what we consume or take our thoughts, captive, we can change thought patterns. As a result, when we are searching for answers, we will gain more clarity because we have more space to receive.

This also helps when we slow down; and believe me, we are wired to be machines. But we also have the ability to change this as well. Slowing down allows for hearing our own thoughts, as well as the voice of the goddess. This also helps us gain more clarity for our dreams and desires. Slow slowing down is a more sustainable way to live as well. It is more in tune with nature and the great mother.

So slow down, listen to the voice of your heart, and you will find the clarity you seek. What are your thoughts?

I love slow, quiet mornings when I am the only one home

And today I took that as an opportunity to go room to room to cleanse anything that was negative or low vibration, add healing Reiki energy. Devotion to goddess, and to invite in health, wealth and prosperity.

I used drum beats, my voice, light language to invite the beauty of healing and high vibration

Re-dedicating your home to that which is beautiful, and filled with love and healing energy is something that is so sacred and so beautiful

How often do you do this for your home?

there are so many different ways that low vibration and negativity can enter your home. Through people, technology, TV and movies just to name a few.

I love my home to be a place that is safe and welcoming. How about you?

I love being able to share healing with other people

I truly believe it’s why I chose to incarnate at this time

There are so many different ways to heal using energy, and the ways I specialize are extremely special.

One of the great things about energy is that it knows no boundaries. So we could be meeting face-to-face or on a Zoom screen.

It all comes down to your openness and willingness to receive

Check out my post below and see what I offer

And in the comments, let me know which ones sound enticing to you and let’s set up a time to meet.

So many times in life we chased after what we want because that is what we have been taught. If you want it badly enough, you must surpass everyone and work your life away.

But I do not think this is what the goddess desires for us

We must become that which we desire. Peace, calm, happiness. What we reflect outward returns to us. We also must take steps for it to happen, however, we must trust and believe it is true.

A roses, beauty and fragrance attracts pollinators. It opens its pedals and trust that the water and sun will come. It does not chase. We could learn so much from this.

If it is our soul’s deepest desire and calling, it will happen for us

What are your thoughts?

Come refresh my Ancestor and Guides Altar.

Because it’s spring, almost summer, it was time to do a little house cleaning, because even our alters can become overcrowded and cluttered

Post pictures of your altars

Never lose hope. The ancestors will not leave you. They have your back and understand your mission. They know your heart and soul. They will help you build your dreams. The key is to always keep your vision at the forefront. Pray over it, manifest it every day. A little means a lot. With this tender care it will blossom and grow.

This is the way of embodied action. This is how you build something sustainable. Something beautiful. Something that attracts.

Stay true to the real authentic you. Never allow anyone to stop you or cause you to hide your true self. Be bigger than life. Be loud! Be bold! Be beautiful! Be seen.

You have got this and the goddess has got you

This is so true.

Just hear me out. I am speaking from my own experience.

Sometimes it is easier to stay with what we know. And when pain and suffering from hurt, betrayal, and trauma are what we know, we at least know what to expect.

Because sometimes having to admit what happened, what’s been done to us, and who did the inflicting causes so much more pain and hurt.

And healing those deep wounds is not for the faint of heart.

It means, sitting with all of it, remembering, and then reaching for something in the unknown that we have not experienced yet.

Our ego tries to keep us safe. That’s part of its job. It remembers everything that’s happened to us so when we try to do something different, it reminds us that we could be hurt again. We could be betrayed again. We might have our power taken from us again.

Many times we blame ourselves for the things that have happened to us. What if I had known? If I’ve only been smarter. If I had sent this or done that…

Now comes the part of forgiveness. We have to not only forgive the people who hurt us, we also have to forgive ourselves. We have to remember that we were just doing the best of what we had at the time.

And my friends, forgiveness does not mean forgetting. It does not mean, allowing that same behavior. It doesn’t mean that we have to be friends with those who harmed us.

For forgiving means releasable weight we were never meant to carry. Forgiving means letting go of the oppressor. Forgiving means our heart is allowed to become lighter and less bitter.

So when we choose to stay with what we know, and we choose unforgiveness, we choose to stay in the loop that both the oppressor and we have created.

This was a hard lesson for me to learn. It was a hard pill swallow. It meant that I had to change how I speak to and about myself. It meant that I had the opportunity to rewrite my story and that it would not be easy. But it’s what I chose to do.

What do you choose?

Wow, what a beautiful message on a Saturday morning. Sometimes when we really need it, the universe sends a reassuring affirmation to let us know. The path is right, it is secure it is protected.

You may have had a new revelation lately, and sometimes it can be so difficult to discern if it is a want or a destiny. Well, if you’re looking for an answer, maybe these cards are that.

So under this full blue moon and Sagittarius on May 31, we can do a few things:

Release old beliefs, and identities, reconnect with our vision and purpose, so that we can speak our truth.

Some of my favorite ways to honor full moons are:
Making moon water, charging my crystals, having fire, rituals, and of course, a good cacao ceremony

What do you do?

On May 31, we have a full blue moon in Sagittarius.

It’s called the blue moon because it’s very rare to have two in one month

It is a time to release, be open to rare opportunities and accelerated insight, and rest in the truth, expansion, and freedom of Sagittarius.

How are you honoring it?

When women gather with honesty and compassion, something shifts.

Wall soften, masks, fall away, and the truth rises to the surface.

And suddenly, women remember that they were never meant to do this alone.

The nervous system heals through safe experiences.

Through gentleness, connection, and being seen without judgment

This is one of the reasons intentional sisterhood can feel so deeply restorative for women.

Healthy Sisterhood reminds us of a few things…��…

Sometimes healing is not about doing more work.

Sometimes healing looks like:

Sitting in a safe circle, being honest about how you feel, realizing other women understand you, and remembering you don’t have to carry everything alone

There is medicine in compassionate connection

The mind becomes quieter when we feel emotionally safe

The body softens when we feel supported

The spirit opens when we feel like we belong

This is why healthy sisterhood matters so deeply

Do you know the difference between being surrounded by people and feeling truly connected?

Feeling seen, feeling safe, feeling supported, and feeling less alone

Do you know what’s really nourishing for our nervous systems?

To be able to laugh, to cry, to share, and to soften wow, surrounded by our soul aligned sisters.

As women we have been taught that we can handle everything alone. But our bodies were never designed for constant emotional isolation.

And maybe one more Oracle card to talk about creating our vision

And do you know what happens when women scan the rooms and ask all these questions?

Because they stay quiet, or they overperformed, or they people, please, or they put on a mask, or they constantly emotionally monitor

And isn’t that exhausting?

And I think that you are done walking into the rooms and scanning for safety.

Don’t you wanna walk in and look for friendship first

But what happens is we start asking the following questions: will I be judged? Will I be excluded? Will I be too much? Am I not enough? Will I belong here?

Let me know how this is resonating with you

So we wanna be in places where we feel seen, welcomed, and we are safe enough to soften

And I really believe that that is what you are craving more than ever right now.

Not the perfect perfection or the constant positivity or even another space where you feel like you have to keep up

Just real connection with real belonging and with real support

What are your thoughts on this?

I’ve also been reflecting deeply on sisterhood and what that looks like in community

Not performative community or surface level connection. I think we are done with that.

But the kind where we get to exhale so we don’t have to constantly monitor ourselves. The kind where we can show up as a whole human being.

I love that we have a new moon and Taurus coming up.

Taurus energy remind us that healing is not always dramatic

Here’s some things I wrote down in my journal about Taurus energy

Resting without guilt, moving slow slower, laughing more, eating, nourishing food, being honest about our capacity, sitting outside, having conversations that feel real, letting ourselves receive support, and creating lives that our nervous system systems can actually sustain

What are your thoughts?

On Saturday we have a new moon and Taurus and it is inviting us to take a step back.

It is a gentle invitation to step away from the hustle, but not to reinvent ourselves or to become someone entirely new

But to return to our body, to simplicity, and to what actually nourishes us.

To return to spaces that feel safe instead of training and to return to the parts of our self that do not need to perform in order to belong

Over the past week I shared about why I went quiet from November through February, and what I didn’t honestly expect was so many women to resonate it with that so deeply

But I think so many of us are realizing the same thing right now

That even when we love as deeply as we do, even when we care as deeply as we do, even when our work feels meaningful

We still become overwhelmed and disconnect from ourselves.

I’ve been thinking a lot over the past few months about what it means to come back to ourselves

Not the curated version. Not the I’m fine version, and not the version that keeps pushing through because she thinks she has to.

I’m talking about the real version. The one underneath the performance, the burnout, and the one our nervous system has been quietly trying to guide us back towards all along.

And this one is for all of the girls out there who are energy healers or women who hold space for other others. I see you and I get it.

You should not have to perform healing to belong in spaces either. That is performative wellness culture. And that is equally exhausting.

Healers need honest, safe spaces too. Let me know how this feels.

A different kind of space

This is not about fixing yourself.

It is a space to slow down.
To be witnessed.
To reconnect with what you already know.

And to remember that healing does not have to be done alone.

You don’t need more pressure.
You need space to come back to yourself.

Begin Your Healing Journey by checking out the services I offer!

Transformational Coaching

A 9-session 1:1 journey for women ready for deeper, sustained support.

Healing doesn’t unfold in a single moment.

It reveals itself over time through trust, reflection, and integration.

This work is designed to support you through that process.

Session by session, we create space to:

explore what’s beneath surface patterns
strengthen self-trust and inner clarity
soften long-held emotional and relational patterns
and begin living in deeper alignment with yourself

This is not about rushing change or forcing breakthroughs.

It is about allowing transformation to take root in a way your nervous system can actually hold.

A steady, supported return to yourself.

Energy Healing Modalities

Sometimes what we need most is to slow down.

To step out of thinking.
Out of doing.
Out of holding everything together.

And simply return inward.

Energy healing creates space for that return.

You are invited to work with Reiki, IET, sound healing, or guided drum journeying depending on what your system is needing in the moment.

Each session is intuitive and guided by what is present for you, not a fixed formula.

This work supports release, regulation, and deep nervous system reset.

A softening.
A clearing.
A coming back into yourself.

Oracle Card Readings

Sometimes you’re not looking for answers.

You’re just looking for clarity.

A moment to pause.
To reflect.
To hear yourself more clearly again.

Oracle Card Readings offer intuitive, heart-centered guidance for the season you’re in.

Not to predict your future,
but to help you understand your present more deeply.

The cards act as a mirror.

They reflect the themes, patterns, and invitations that are already moving through your life.

Often, what comes through is reassurance.

Validation.

A softer sense of direction when things feel uncertain.

You may choose a lighter or more in-depth reading depending on what feels supportive:

a 4-card reading for focused reflection
a 12-card reading for deeper exploration

Each one is held intuitively, in a grounded and supportive space.

Meet Paula Collins

A Magdalene Sound Priestess, Sisterhood Alchemist, and Energy Healer who brings profound expertise and compassion to guide you through your healing journey.

For years, I was supported with medication that helped me function, but also numbed me from my deeper emotional truth and inner knowing.

At the time, it was what I needed to get through.

And over time, with the support of my doctor and my own healing process, I was able to gradually wean off medication and reconnect more fully with myself.

That transition became part of my deeper awakening.

A return to feeling.
A return to listening.
A return to myself.

And....... It brought me into a different kind of listening.

To my body.
To my emotions.
To the parts of myself I had long pushed aside.

I’m Paula Collins, a Spiritual Mentor and Intuitive Sound Healer.

I support women in healing, remembering, and reconnecting with themselves in a way that feels safe, grounded, and real.

My work is rooted in compassion, lived experience, and deep respect for the body’s timing.

Before this path, I spent years as a high school English teacher.

A life-altering car accident and traumatic brain injury changed everything.

It slowed my life down in a way I didn’t choose but deeply needed.

And it also brought me face to face with a long chapter of depression and anxiety.

And it became the beginning of a much deeper journey of healing and remembrance.

My approach is gentle, intuitive, and trauma-aware.

I don’t believe in rushing healing.
Or forcing transformation.

I believe in creating spaces where the nervous system can soften enough for truth to rise naturally.

In my work, I support women to:

release emotional and energetic patterns they’ve been carrying
reconnect with their inner voice
and gently reclaim the parts of themselves that were silenced or forgotten

Always in a way that honors their pace.

I work intuitively, drawing from Transformational Coaching, Reiki, IET, sound healing, and drum journeying.

But more than any modality, I follow what is needed in the moment.

Because healing is not a method.

It’s a relationship with yourself.

At the center of everything I offer is this truth:

You are not becoming someone new.
You are remembering who you already are.

This work is about coming home to yourself.
