The Story Behind Your Sacred Patterns
You already know. This is where you learn to trust it.
The Beginning
Hi, I'm Michelle
Way back when, I was looking for something between approval, permission, validation, certainty, to feel what I felt, to want what I wanted, to stop apologising for taking up space. We don't grow up with a language for any of that, it's something felt deep inside - so when I found astrology, mediumship and tarot, it wasn't really about prediction or ritual. It was about recognition and connection to something greater and also back to true self.
In my search for truth, freedom and meaning - I've found my courage in knowing deep down how amazing it is to feel truly, unapologetically here, alive. This was the spark of the A.L.I.V.E. framework which powers my work today.
I've always had, and nurtured, a connection to spirit. Whether that's been doing my Reiki Master Teacher, development in a Mediumship circle or my astrology and tarot advanced Diploma, I've been hungry to always learn more - from the greats that came before us and the world of spirit.
The more I sat with these tools, the more I realised something simple but important: they weren't teaching me anything new. They were reflecting back what I already knew, somewhere underneath the noise - the parts of myself I'd learned to override, hide, or apologise for.
That's the heart of everything I do now, and has been for the last 20 years.
Why Your Sacred Patterns Exists
A mirror, not a manual
So much of the spiritual self-development space speaks at women — telling them who to become, how to heal, what to fix. Your Sacred Patterns was built to do the opposite.
This is a space for women who are deeply intuitive, often the ones holding everything together for everyone else, and who are ready to turn that same care inward. Not to become someone new — but to come back to who they were before the world asked them to shrink.
Not a new you. A truer one.
Every guide, every tool, every piece of writing here starts from the same belief: you already hold the wisdom you're searching for. Sometimes you simply need a way to recognise it.
The ALIVE Method
How this work actually unfolds
Over years of doing this work on myself — and later, of writing these guides — I noticed a pattern in how real change actually happens. Not the dramatic, overnight kind, but the kind that lasts. I started calling it the ALIVE Method:
- Awaken — noticing the pattern for the first time, often with relief rather than shame
- Liberate — loosening its grip, understanding where it came from and why it made sense
- Integrate — weaving the insight into daily life, not just journal pages
- Validate and Value — honouring what you're learning about yourself, without rushing past it
- Express and Embody — living from this truer version of you, out loud
Every guide in the Back to Yourself series walks through this rhythm in its own way — shaped around each zodiac sign's specific shadow patterns, but always moving in this same direction: awareness, release, integration, and embodiment.
Who This Is For
If you're reading this...
You're probably the friend people call first. The one who notices everything, feels everything, and has spent a long time taking care of everyone but yourself.
Maybe you've done some of this work before — therapy, journalling, astrology, tarot — and you're not new to self-reflection. You're just ready to go deeper, with tools that actually speak your language.
If that's you, you're in the right place.
Where to start
If you'd like a place to begin, the Back to Yourself guides are built sign by sign — each one a deep dive into the shadow patterns, gifts, and growth points specific to your sun sign (or any sign you're drawn to explore).
Or, if you're not ready for that yet, join the newsletter — it's where I share reflections, early access, and the occasional nudge to come back to yourself.
