Jasmine Kate Wickens (she/her) | writer, guide + practitioner

Forever a work in progress, I am a weaver of energy, words and symbols that stir, soothe and support the soul. I have been walking the path from trauma to healing, and hope, and now find myself deeply passionate about supporting people on their own journeys.

I currently identify as a cis-gender, white british, queer, mad, disabled, neurodivergent woman. Born in Luton, England, I now live in Edinburgh, Scotland. I am currently re-establishing myself in life and service after a period of convalescence. I find deep enjoyment in learning, creating and connecting to the beyond human.

I have a bold vision and many seeds gestating, which I hope to offer in my many years of service. But for now, I welcome you to join me on the fine thread which splits light from dark, as I offer myself as a guide on this shared journey of self-directed healing. 

my journey

Trauma sculpted my life from early childhood, and after my mental distress became apparent to my family, I entered the mental health system at the age of 10 years old. I struggled to initiate myself fully into life, attempting to cope with undiagnosed c-PSTD, developmental disabilities and health conditions into adulthood, experiencing years of re-traumatisations which added layers of pain on top of suppressed childhood abuse. 

I could perhaps date the emergence of my healing journey back to 2017, as I began watching ASMR videos on YouTube to support my insomnia. This led me to my first experiences of energy healing, spiritualism, mysticism and several of my teachers. The pandemic of 2020 acted as a major catalyst for me, begining my descent into a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of the universe, and in September 2020, I moved to Edinburgh. Not long after my arrival, my life and my body began to collapse in on themselves.

These four years I have been walking this path have been a deeply humbling experience, stripping me back to the bone to clear the way forward - health, relationships, work, masks - and offering me the tools to carve myself from the stone in which I had existed. During this time, I walked alongside healers, guides and teachers in any way I could - YouTube videos, one-to-ones, workshops, courses - to find healing through meditation, ritual, somatic touch and movement, divination, naturopathy, herbalism, shamanic journeys, energy work, and nutrition. With each small step I took, I returned home to myself, and the world expanded alongside me. This journey birthed me into a new, yet ancient, way of being with the world, with me deeply intertwined with it. 

My journey has had many stops - some extreme, some unnecessary, many shared widely - yet I stand before you as a sovereign woman, an example of how healing is available to us all. No matter how lost you may feel, hope is present.

practice

My offerings are multi-disciplinary, carefully weaving awareness, reflection and tending to reconnect body, mind and soul, so that people may return home to themselves, again and again, through the quiet power of internal practice. 

I hold space for people to go to ground, bearing witness, and offering compassionate care, whilst supporting them to cultivate a reciprocal relationship with their human being, building a personal practice so that they may continue to tend themselves well.

My approach centres on leading people towards holistic nourishment, making space for regenerative wellbeing to emerge. With a focus on leaning into the medicine of the wilder edges of human being, such as grief and rage, supporting people to destigmatise those natural experiences, and meet themselves, and therefore life, more fully. 

I work with both individuals and groups, online and in-person, and am open to collaborations with other practitioners to co-create group spaces and retreats, and commissions with those whose work and ethos align with my own.

study

A lifelong learner, my curiosity reaches into the realms of mysticism, astrology, spirituality, somatics, grief-tending, deep ecology and holistic + naturopathic healing.

Like my own journey of self-directed healing, I have chosen a mainly self-defined pathway to become a practitioner, opting to hone my practice through dedicated self-directed study, working with teachers, personal exploration and direct practice.

Though I have trained in Reiki and Theta healing, I do not offer them, as I have been exploring what it means to decolonise my practice, moving me towards cultivating a more instinctual approach, as I connect to myself and the land I live upon. Throughout 2025 and beyond, I am deepening my learning in therapeutic and ritual space holding.

offering thanks

My gratitude goes out to the many beings who have played a part in my existence, directly or indirectly, for every experience and interaction has played a part in my being here today. I offer a special thanks to all those who have supported and/or guided me on my journey these past few years, including Poppie Vincent, Lisa Fannen, Veronica Stanwell, Ben Stopford, Nici Harrison, Alexandra Derwen, Jenny Florence and Ediya Dualet. A special thank you to the community at the A+E project who continue to journey with me.
