“Thresholds are dangerous places, neither here nor there, and walking across one is like stepping off the edge of a cliff in the naive faith that you'll sprout wings halfway down.
You can't hesitate, or doubt.
You can't fear the in-between.”
~Alix E. Harrow, The Ten Thousand Doors of January
The Vessel Can Hold Both Things.
The wounds and the wisdom.
The uncertainty of the present and the hope of what is still becoming.
Rather than separating the mind from the spirit or healing from everyday life, we recognize that true transformation begins when all parts of ourselves are welcomed with compassion and curiosity.
My work honors the complexity of being human. It invites you to explore your inner world, reconnect with the wisdom of nature, and cultivate the resilience needed to live with greater presence, balance, and purpose—even in the midst of life's challenges.
Well, hello!
I'm Oraine.
Your
Guide.
Let's awaken Your Power Within.
I have been joyfully guiding women to their authentic selves for close to 20 years. I have a myriad of interests that are all beautifully interconnected: counselling, collage, candlemaking, cooking, reading, plant healing and colour - lots of gorgeous colour.
I spend quite a bit of my time working with clients' images, resulting symbols and their imaginal world whether I am facilitating counselling work or other soul-directed inquiry. We use art, poetry, card decks, history, iconography, music and more to hone a better sense of self in the world. There is much meaning to be derived from the unconscious if only we allow it.
Read on to learn a bit more about the academics and the meandering journey that got me to this Apotheca - this place of understanding that we are holding medicine within ourselves while appreciating the medicine to be found in the world.
Let's Transform Together.
