A: My first awakening came when I was 27, in Ibiza. On my very last evening before returning to the Netherlands, I was invited to a tarot card reading. At the time, I didn’t even know what tarot was, but I felt drawn to the cards. The man who read them spoke of my future, telling me I was here to guide and help people. At that point in my life, it felt impossible. I had just come out of a burnout, my relationship had ended, and years of therapy had left me more depressed than healed.
And yet, he spoke of my past with such clarity that I couldn’t dismiss what he said about my future. Something shifted inside me. That moment marked the beginning of my awakening as a healer. Back in the Netherlands, my gifts began to open rapidly. My intuition sharpened, I explored every form of healing I could find—from breathwork to plant medicine—and I began to notice how simply my presence stirred something in others.
Around that same time, I also started receiving visions. At night I would see Egyptian symbols and hieroglyphs appear before my eyes. I didn’t understand them yet, but they came again and again. I also had a powerful vision of being surrounded by snakes—a terrifying death in a past life that left me shaken. At the time, I couldn’t place these experiences. I didn’t yet know they were connected to Egypt, or that they were the first signs of my priestess remembrance. Looking back now, I can see that even then, goddess Isis was already whispering to me.
A few years later came my Kundalini awakening, and that was the moment the priestess within me truly awakened. I remember walking into a retreat, and a woman appeared carrying an Ankh. She wore a flowing dress, radiating a presence that felt both powerful and familiar. When I looked at her, something in me stirred—a deep recognition, as though I had met her many lifetimes ago.
During the ceremony, as she guided us through Kundalini activations and invoked the goddess Isis, I had a vision. I saw her and myself, side by side, dancing in a temple. In that moment, it was as if a veil dropped and I remembered: this was not new to me. I had walked this path before.
What followed was an initiation unlike anything I had ever experienced. My body entered weeks of nonstop release—shaking, crying, moving through layers of trauma and past lives. In the midst of it, I received a full channeling for Pure Essence, the nine-month container I still guide today. When I finally emerged from that process, I looked into the mirror and I was changed. My eyes were lighter, my face softer yet filled with a new strength. And I knew: the priestess within me had fully awakened.
A: To me, being a modern-day priestess is first and foremost an act of devotion—to myself, to the Earth, and to the goddess Isis. It means walking my path with integrity, staying devoted to purity, and embodying the wisdom I carry, not just speaking about it.
The clearer my channel is, the more I remember. And the more I remember, the more I can bring the ancient wisdom of Isis into this world, here and now. For me, bridging the ancient and the modern is not about recreating the past; it’s about embodying its essence in today’s life.
When I live fully in alignment with who I am in my essence, I become that bridge. Because if I am truly myself, I am the living embodiment of the priestess. That is who I have been in all the lifetimes I remember. It is not about learning something new; it is about remembering and recognising myself, and carrying that essence into the world so others can remember too.
Through Isis and other sacred lineages that flow through me, I bring the remembrance of ancient wisdom into today’s world. My devotion allows me to transmit these frequencies in ways people can integrate and embody in their daily lives. That is what being a high priestess means to me—devotion, embodiment, and service, rooted in remembrance.
My practice is not something that always looks the same. It shifts with the seasons and with the phases I move through. But what always remains at the heart of it is embodiment.
For a long time, my practice lasted around three hours each day. Yoga has always been a foundation for me—activating my body, moving the energy, and arriving in presence. If it’s not yoga, then it might be dance or another form of movement that helps me embody what I feel. Meditation is also essential, as are moments of manifestation, reprogramming my mind, and doing energetic work on myself.
Sometimes I invoke the goddess Isis and work directly with her energy. Other times it is chanting, singing, Kundalini practices, or simply silence. My practice adapts to what my body and soul need. But one thing is always constant: I begin my day by energetically clearing and activating my field so that I can serve from a place of clarity, strength, and devotion.
When you are a Priestess, you are already on the path from the beginning of your life. It’s not about getting on the path; it’s about recognising it and choosing to follow it. The call is always there. When you listen to it, you are guided, and step by step, it becomes clearer.
If you feel drawn to the Priestess path, then follow what you need. If your body or soul asks you to heal, to sit in ceremony, to learn, to pray, to dance—do it. That is how remembrance opens.
What I’ve noticed especially with women who carry the Isis Priestess template is that they already sense how powerful they are. They are strong channels, healers, and carriers of deep wisdom. But sometimes there’s a temptation to stay in the idea of it—to sense the greatness within, but not actually do the healing work to embody it.
The truth is: this path is never about becoming something you’re not. It’s about remembering who you already are and clearing away what blocks that remembrance. Your essence already carries the Isis Priestess template you came to embody on Earth. The path is the remembrance—the embodiment of what is already within you.
The energy of the goddess Isis was never something foreign to me. When I entered the priestess training to become an embodied priestess, she was already present. Her loving energy, her activations—they felt so familiar, so natural. Many people describe encounters with light beings as extraordinary, but for me, Isis was never otherworldly. It felt as though she had always been there, woven into me, as if I was simply remembering something I had always known.
That is how it often is for me. The mystical doesn’t feel strange; it feels like home. When I walked the steps to the grotto of Mary Magdalene during my pilgrimage on the Magdalene path, I was overcome with emotion, a deep sense of coming home to myself, as though I had been there before.
Over time, I also began working with other goddesses—Hathor, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, Anna, and Tara. Each of them carries a different frequency, a different wisdom. Their presence arrives in waves, guiding me through specific seasons of my life and work. I honor them with devotion, with offerings, with gratitude and love.
All these beautiful guides and goddesses who walk with me on my path are teachers. They help me grow, remember, and become wiser so I can be of greater service to humanity. I have also dived into their stories, learning how each of them, in their own way, walked through pain and challenges as human beings. That remembrance humbles me. It shows me that even the divine feminine lineages carried the weight of humanity, and yet they chose love, service, and devotion. Their journeys mirror ours, and in that mirroring I find both strength and guidance.
I was born in the Netherlands to Moroccan parents who were Muslim. My childhood was difficult; it felt like a constant war. My parents lived by religion and culture, and I was so different. Even as a child, I was wild and free, with my own rules and my own way of thinking. I could not live in the way they expected. That created pain for me, especially around religion. For a long time, I saw religion as something destructive—something that divided humanity rather than uniting it. That wound blocked my path for years.
But when I began to heal that pain and open myself again, everything changed. I started to see the beauty in the traditions. Suddenly, I could see the connections between the mystical practices I was leading in ceremonies and the rituals of my culture. Fire, prayer, washing, intention—they all revealed themselves as codes. I realized that when Muslims bow in prayer, their forehead touches the ground and it activates the third eye and the connection with Mother Earth. When they wash before prayer, they are activating pressure points on the body. It became fascinating to me, because with all my healing knowledge, I could see the deeper energy behind what they were doing.
Growing up in a Moroccan environment in Holland also gave me something I didn’t recognise at the time: a foundation in the power of women being together. As a child, I thought it was wrong that men and women were separated. But now, as a priestess, I understand the importance of women gathering in their own energy.
At the same time, my pull to Egypt was always incredibly strong. Everything that looked Egyptian drew me in. I would buy Egyptian statues, images of temples and pyramids, and especially depictions of the goddess Isis. Over time, my home began to look like a temple, filled with reminders of Egypt everywhere. It has never felt separate from me—it has always been part of who I am.
When I became an embodied priestess, this connection became even stronger. I realised that the work I was channeling into my healing containers—soul path work, sexual alchemy, initiations—was all deeply rooted in the ancient Egyptian lineage. It was not something I designed on purpose, but it flows naturally through me. Egypt is in everything I do, in everything I teach, in every transmission I share. It lives through me.
Today, I see my work as a priestess as holding the initiation of death and rebirth. This is my greatest gift because I have moved through every layer of my own pain in complete surrender—releasing what no longer served me and facing trauma with nothing held back. Because of this, I carry no fear when it comes to sitting with someone else’s pain. I can walk through it with them fully, until they are ready to step into their rebirth.
This essence flows into everything I offer. Pure Essence is my nine-month journey open to all—a deep process of shedding, integration, and rebirth. Sexual Alchemy is a one-month online container dedicated to womb healing and the remembrance of feminine power. In Ancestral Healing, we move through the imprints of family lines and restore balance between masculine and feminine energies.
For those stepping into service, I teach Living by Light, a training to build a strong energetic foundation as a lightworker. From there, Leading in Sovereignty is the natural continuation, where spiritual embodiment meets leadership, business guidance, and manifestation.
Each container is a different doorway, but the heart of my work remains the same: to guide others into remembrance, embodiment, and their true essence. And above all, I love to work intuitively—feeling what is needed in the moment and offering what truly serves each soul on their journey.
Many of my containers are specifically channeled as a path. I often tell people to come to me when they feel like they have already done so much healing but are still going in circles. Some women have been walking this path for years, even a decade—trying every method—yet still not reaching that state of true embodiment.
That is exactly the moment when my work begins. When you know deep inside where you could be, when you can feel your potential, but something keeps pulling you back. When you find yourself stuck in a loop, repeating the same patterns, hitting the same wall again and again. That is where I step in—guiding you through the death and rebirth process so that the cycle can finally be broken and your true essence embodied.
At the heart of my work, I love guiding people who are truly ready. Ready to do the deep work. Ready to embody their pure essence. My devotion is to those souls who want to fully step into who they are meant to be.
Ancestral healing is so important because one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck in loops is the ancestral pain they carry without even realising it. For example, in the feminine line, generations of women may have carried heavy burdens, trauma, or suppression. Even if these things didn’t happen directly to you, you can still feel the weight of them. You may go to therapy, you may work on your body or your own story, but there is still that energetic imprint of the lineage that needs to be cleared.
If we don’t heal it, it passes on to the next generation. Our children inherit that same suffering and pain. The same happens in the masculine line. Many women struggle to embody their power because they carry unhealed masculine energy from fathers, grandfathers, and beyond. If they were not embodied in their strength, that absence is passed down. And it becomes the invisible reason why we keep looping—why we feel blocked from stepping into our full embodiment.
Because I am deeply embodied in the healing work, my first recommendation for any woman who feels a strong connection to the goddess Isis and the Priestess Path is this: it is not only about rituals or meditations. You can practice them all day, but if you are not embodied, the true magic will not unfold.
The foundation is the healing work—especially with the body and the womb. The womb holds our codes, power, remembrance, and creation. When it carries trauma or ancestral imprints, the priestess cannot fully embody her essence. Clearing the chakras, healing ancestral lines, and restoring the womb are the essential steps. Once you release what keeps you from being yourself, the remembrance awakens naturally.
Two women can receive the same initiations and practices, yet have completely different outcomes. One may feel little because she hasn’t done the inner work. The other, who has cleared her body, womb, and lineage, will experience the full depth and magic. As a priestess, you already know the way—the work is simply to clear what blocks that knowing.
It is also important to understand the difference between the Priestess template and the High Priestess template. The priestess serves a lineage—for example, the lineage of Isis. Her devotion is embodiment through her womb and her channel, becoming a living vessel of that lineage.
The High Priestess first embodies this path, but then steps into leadership. She not only serves a lineage; she holds her own temple, brings through codes, and teaches initiations for her community. Her role is devotion and leadership combined.
Many want to identify as High Priestess right away, but sometimes their true template is simply a Priestess—and that is no less sacred. Your template is not about what you want to be, but about who you already are.
Women with the High Priestess template often carry deep trauma around visibility. In past lives, many were persecuted or burned for their power. That memory remains in the body, making visibility a challenge. For me, even filming myself once felt impossible. My throat would close, and I felt fear just to be seen. It took years of healing and devotion before I could step into that space with strength.
This is the essence of the high priestess path: not only carrying the codes, but also healing the fear of being visible so that true leadership can emerge.
What the Priestess Path has truly taught me is that real power comes from the heart. It is about opening — opening to yourself, to the world, to love. I was always a strong woman, but for a long time I carried an armour around my heart that kept me hidden and disconnected from the world around me. My true power only became visible when I began opening more and more, attuning deeply to my own heart.
That is what people feel the most when they work with me. It is my love that makes my devotion possible — my love for Mother Earth, for humanity, for this planet. That love is what keeps me moving forward, even when the path is difficult. Because the Priestess Path is not always easy. There are always cycles of death and rebirth. Death is never easy; it asks for surrender, for letting go. But the rebirth brings elevated states, clarity, and the blessings of all the work you’ve done. And in those moments, you remember why you chose this path.
To truly be a leader in feminine wisdom means you must follow your intuition and not be afraid of where it takes you. The feminine path is one of surrender, of walking forward even when you don’t see where it leads, of trusting that the steps will reveal themselves. This kind of trust doesn’t come in a single day. It is built through years of devotion, of surrendering again and again, until faith in spirit becomes your foundation.
This is our strength as women. We are magnetic, loving light beings here to bring beauty and healing to the Earth. We carry a womb, and within the womb lives Creation itself — not only the creation of children, but also the creation of containers, of codes, of new ways of being.
Through the womb, we are connected to spirit in a way that is profoundly powerful. Our channel is naturally open, deeply sensitive, deeply intuitive.
Men bring their strength through protection and instinct, and they walk beside us in that way. But women carry the channel. We are designed to be pure conduits of spirit, to feel and to transmit. That is the heart of feminine wisdom and the source of our true leadership.
I see that collectively we are ready to truly heal and remember what we really need and desire as women and as human beings, and to begin living from that place of truth. I see leaders rising, stepping fully into their power, guiding others into their awakening. The new world that so many speak of is not a distant dream. It is already here, unfolding step by step.
This is the Golden Age — a shift into a higher frequency where we can embody our essence. Each of us came to Earth carrying something unique, something only we can bring. It is both our responsibility and our gift to share it. When we do, we not only serve others, we also receive the deepest joy. Because living in alignment with our purpose is what brings true fulfilment.
This is what I see: people reconnecting with themselves, claiming their place, offering their gifts, and feeling the joy of being who they came here to be. And together, in that remembrance, we create the New Earth.
