shamanic womancraft 1:1 session
shamanic womancraft 1:1
A two-hour private journey into the stories that shaped you.
This work is for when there is something you want to understand - a threshold you’re standing at, a pattern you keep meeting, something you’re trying to birth or become - and you have a sense that the way forward might be found by looking back, by understanding the life you’ve lived so far.
A Shamanic Womancraft session is a process of tracing the threads of your life: your ancestry, childhood, rites of passage, relationships, births, losses, initiations, choices, and turning points. We begin with a single intention, and use your own story to illuminate the patterns, wisdom and meaning already woven through it.
The process was created by Jane Hardwicke Collings of The School of Shamanic Womancraft, in the lineage of her teacher Jeannine Parvati Baker. What I love about this work is that we aren’t looking for what is wrong with you, or trying to hand you another framework through which someone else gets to explain your life. We’re looking at your story, through a shamanic lens, and seeing what becomes visible when we step back far enough to see the whole landscape.
To me, this is the gift of shamanic sight: the eagle’s flight and the root’s descent. We rise above the story to see its place in the greater web, while also going down into what lies beneath it. Somewhere between those two perspectives, things that have felt confusing can begin to make a strange kind of sense.
This is mystical work, but I am also a deeply practical person. We bring what we find back to the original intention and ask: what does this mean for how you live now? You’ll leave with greater clarity around the threshold you’re navigating and a map for moving forward that has emerged from your own inherent knowing.
Before we meet, you’ll complete an Innerview, a detailed exploration of your life and Red Thread. I’ll spend time with this before our two-hour online session, tracing the themes and threads I see so we can go deep when we meet. If required, you’ll also receive a 30-minute integration call within the following month.
$500 AUD
PAYMENT PLAN AVAILABLE
This is a substantial process on both our parts. You’ll need time to complete your Innerview before we meet, and I’ll need to receive it at least 48 hours before our session. Please note this extra time-commitment beyond the session itself, which is 2 hours.
I'm Tahnee.
I've spent about 25 years studying philosophy, healing and spiritual practice, beginning with Yoga when I was 15. I’ve been leading transformative programs for groups and working 1:1 with people since 2013.
My work is deeply informed by the lineage of Jane Hardwicke Collings and Jeannine Parvati Baker, alongside decades of Yogic and Taoist study and practice. A mother of three, teacher, business owner and lifelong student of thresholds, I bring both the mystical and the very practical to my work with women - helping them see the patterns and stories that have shaped them, reconnect with their own inherent wisdom, and find their way forward.
My background meanders through studies in Vinyasa, Hatha, Tantra, and Yin Yoga, Taoist energetics, meditation, bodywork, herbalism, somatics, the female nervous system, birth and women’s rites of passage, Shamanic Womancraft and anatomy - alongside 14 years of teaching and my own experiences of sex, relationships, motherhood (I have three kids, all born at home), business (I’ve started two and run a handful of them), and being a person who is alive, thus continuing to get things both very right and very wrong sometimes. ;)
I’ve learned an enormous amount from traditions and teachers, and I have deep respect for the maps they’ve given me. I’m also interested in the places where the maps we inherit don’t quite fit women’s lived experience. Especially spiritual maps.
I am a Shamanic Womancraft Practitioner, and much of my work now is concerned with offering women alternative maps to those we inherit from the overculture. I love seeing women make sense of their lived experiences, self-initiate, become whole unto themselves, and remember how to do what women have always done - weave between worlds.
If you’re interested in working together in this way, reach out to me. I have limited availability while I’m mama to three little ones, but if I don’t currently have space, I’ll happily keep you on my waitlist.
what it’s like working with tahnee
“I feel integrated, I feel supported, I feel more at ease…it is my most sincere wish that all the women in my life get to experience Tahnee’s teachings first hand as I did. I feel so lucky. Thank you so much Tahnee the generosity and capacity you bring to teaching is valuable beyond.”

“Tahnee is an incredible teacher, with a wealth of wisdom she shares so generously!”

“Over the months we have spent on this course. I have felt much more grounded in my femaleness. I felt a lot less cerebral and more embodied. It’s been a great transition to understand and trust the logic of the body above the logic of the mind. Having said that there’s been plenty of intellectual stimulation in the course content. I thoroughly enjoyed the integration of theory and practice.”
— Jenn, past EV student
FAQs
where are the sessions held?
1
All sessions are 1:1 via Zoom. I will contact you to arrange a time after you have booked your session.
what about this is shamanic?
2
The lens we take for this work is shamanic - seeing from a higher perspective, holding our stories as medicine and our own lived experience as a map and a potent oracle of truth for our own unique life. We learn to peer into the dark and find meaning and answers to our own questions with this work. That is what makes it shamanic.
do i need to be spiritual?
3
Only in the sense of being open to your own inner wisdom. This work is about you cultivating your own relationship with life, which to me is inherently spiritual, but your individual experience of what spiritual means might look different to mine. I think that’s OK. :) Shamanic Womancraft work is a way of seeing; taking the higher perspective, looking for patterns, for how we are shaped and moulded by our lives, our experiences, our rites of passage, our Red Thread. You do not need to believe in anything to benefit from this work.
Is there anyone this work is contraindicated for?
4
While I believe this work is potent and deeply healing, I do not work with anyone who is actively undergoing psychiatric care or who is undergoing intensive medical care. I also tend to recommend younger women not do this work (under the age of 25). If you are unsure if this work would be suitable for you, please reach out to me to discuss.
What happens if I need to reschedule?

I totally get life happens. We will reschedule.
