POV: you’re scrolling through your photo albums…

It’s wild to look back and realize how much we actually transform without actually acknowledging it all.

I thought we were here to learn. Turns out, we’re here to re-member.
It begins with unlearning everything that was taught out of fear.

I started living from my body’s wisdom, setting boundaries rooted in love, and aligning my inner and outer worlds.

This is what The Ancient Dance is —a journey back home to yourself.

A 12-week program to face what is blocked in your mind, body, and spirit —
for those ready to stop overthinking and start embodying their truth.

Because when you move in alignment with who you are…
life stops feeling like a chase,
and starts feeling like a dance. 🪶

Before reaching for another pill, practice grounding to calm your body and mind.

We have grown up in a world that has us questioning everything. Preparing for any possible danger because we’ve had to protect ourselves and chase a feeling of safety that is foreign to most.

It’s one thing feeling safe in your environment, but how safe do you feel in your body?

Grounding is a practice that returns you to presence, returns you to your body. If you don’t feel safe in your body however, or as if you cannot trust your instincts, returning to your body can be very difficult.

The Ancient Dance provides the bridge from head to heart while holding space for what might come up in your body along the way.

If these grounding practices don’t work for you, or if you’re finding it difficult to return to your body, DM me.

I look forward to walking this path with you ✨ taken in Planet Earth by @michaela_juby

Your purpose in life is to fully embody who you are ⬇️

We get so caught up in being ‘the finished product’ that we don’t give ourselves the time to go on the journey. It is by discovering what was lacking in our own story that we can create our unique medicine.

What you seek is what is seeking you. You are the medicine. Let your purpose unfold as you slowly make yourself whole again by simply allowing your path to take you where you need to go.

Step into the journey before concluding the destination, you’d be surprised where you end up ✨

The masculine urges action, the feminine invites us to go inwards. Both are valuable, here’s why ⬇️

The description that one gives to the masculine and feminine is directly linked to the way each were portrayed as ‘man’ and ‘woman’ throughout one’s life. So if the masculine for example has been depicted as absent, or disconnected, one will conclude that the masculine is therefore as one has been shown.

Here’s the truth:

The masculine is your outer world, the way you take action, your drive. He is the Sun in the day, bringing light and progress. The feminine however, is the Moon. She invites you to go inwards where there is less light and more shadows. She teaches you to nurture and care for yourself, so that your masculine can remain confident as he prepares the outer world to match your inner world.

This journey into motherhood has invited me to move away from the masculine and surrender into the feminine. How? Through trust. Trust in myself, trust in my partner, and trust in my body.

This is how we create harmony within ourselves, through trusting our instincts (masculine) and our intuition (feminine). Going inwards to create an outward expression of truth and love.

This is the work, and it starts by identifying if you’re more in your masculine or feminine-let me know if the comments

POV: you’ve moved to the forest and your whole nervous system has softened

This is a message to slow down, to soften, and to enjoy where you are.

We are always planning our next move, reaching what was once a dream and seeing it rather as a check point. There are so many ways tomorrow can take away from your today, don’t let your chase for purpose distract you from the blessing that is your life.

Share where you found beauty in your day today and let’s be reminded of the magic in this life 🌈

With all my love,
Michaela ✨

During pregnancy we prepare to welcome new life, but we forget that parents are being birthed too.

Stepping into motherhood is an initiation that requires sacred intention. Just as we celebrate a new spirit, we are also celebrating the transition from Maiden into Mother.

Before I moved from Cape Town, we hosted a mother’s blessing ceremony to honour this journey and here are the rituals we incorporated:

1. We created a birthing altar: inviting everyone to gift an offering that I would gather to then recreate for the day of birth. These items become reminders of the support and love shared on this day.

2. Each woman wrote a letter and shared a prayer for the mother’s transition and the birth itself.

3. We connected the circle with a red thread that each woman keeps on her until the day of birth. Symbolising the unity and honouring the bond of this community. When labour begins, this string reminds the mother of the strength and support that she has from those who hold her.

4. Finally, each woman took a bead, blessed it with her own prayer, and built a necklace. This necklace becomes the physical representation of each woman’s love and individual relationship with the mother.

As I shift into this becoming, I am so grateful for the support, the love, and the excitement. This life is sacred, with each new phase of life inviting intention and honouring ceremony.

Share this with someone who might be pregnant, and create a blessing for them. As a mother-to-be, I feel that there is so much value in these practices to support this journey.

If you’d like to learn more or even get guidance around how to host a mother’s blessing, comment BLESSING and I’ll share further ✨

Sometimes rediscovering yourself is as easy as taking a deep breath and simplifying your life.

As a shamanic therapist, I help you move out of your head and back into your body. Back into presence.

This might sound easier said than done, but that’s where the shamanism comes in. I guide you through practices that make you feel safe in your body. I give you tools to return to when you might feel overwhelmed. I help return you to your authenticity and bring your light back.

Does this resonate with you? Are you curious to learn more?

DM me for more information or book a FREE discovery call through the link in my bio ✨

Being pregnant has been a constant process of letting go to make more space.

Every day my body is changing, my belly is growing, my hormones are shifting, and this version of self is transforming. I’ve come to understand this as a teaching, preparing me for motherhood and for sharing a life with a new human. All this change is inviting me to remain grounded, to soften, and to allow what needs to unfold with trust.

I am a child becoming a mother.
A student becoming a teacher.

I do not claim to have all the answers, but I do believe in who I am.

I honour the Sun and the Moon as our clocks.
I respect the land and Nature as our home.
I let my heart lead the way.
I say no to what does not align with my values.
I offer support and kindness to every living thing.
I give love freely and openly.
I am a child of this Earth, here to give light and remind others of their light.

I am a human doing. And so are you.

Save this post as a reminder for when you feel disconnected from yourself ✨

‘You can’t expect others to hold space for you if you don’t even know how to feel comfortable in your vulnerability’

Projecting your frustrations onto those closest to you is more common than you think would think.

What you are asking for from another person-whether it be to be seen, heard, valued, or understood-starts with being that for yourself first.

Holding space for yourself requires commitment and gentleness. We often expect others to support us and help regulate our emotions before we ever learn how to do so for ourselves.

Sound familiar?

DM me to discover practices to hold space for yourself 🫶

This last week has been a deep cleansing, a shedding, a transformational shift in universal community.

This week’s message is a reminder to be who you are, even if you don’t know who that is yet. By practicing authentic truth, you only become more authentic.

Honour your unique magic, share your gifts, give your love, and stay true to yourself.
