A Little Bit About Carmen

Walking with story, ritual, and the wisdom of the body.

I’m Carmen Edwards: Holistic Therapist, Priestess Practitioner & Ritual Artist.

My medicine lives within the realm of soul intimacy-within the heart, within relationship, and most importantly, within the relationship we cultivate with ourselves.

As Priestess, Mentor and Practitioner, I offer a holistic approach that honours the emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and soulful realms as one interconnected system. My work supports a return home, guiding women back into harmony with the wisdom they already carry within.

My work lives at the meeting place of story, soul, and the body- rooted in archetypal psychology, transpersonal consciousness, ritual, mythos, healing arts, and the cyclical, animate wisdom of the natural world.

For many years, I’ve held spaces for women moving through seasons of transformation, grief, awakening, creative rebirth, and remembrance -supporting a return to voice, belonging, embodiment, and self-trust.

I believe true embodied healing is not about fixing.

It is about remembering ourselves again.

This is My Story.

From a young age, I found home in mythic landscapes- stories of witches, shapeshifters, priestesses, and courageous wanderers who journeyed into the unknown and returned transformed.

Over time, through academic research, psychospiritual training, and lived experience, I came to understand myth not as fantasy, but as medicine- a living map and framework that helps us to navigate the thresholds of grief, change, identity, longing, and transformation.

As I deepened into psychology, somatic work, ritual arts, and cyclical living, I began weaving these worlds together into the spaces I now hold today.

What has emerged has now become ‘Way of the Wild Rose’ - a body of work devoted to helping women remember their own innate wisdom, reconnect with the intelligence of the body, and return to a more soulful, grounded relationship with themselves and the world around them.

I hold deep reverence for the resilience, intelligence, and adaptability of the human spirit as it moves through the changing seasons of life. This has shaped me into a practitioner who honours the power of memory, story, and lived experience, and the ways they shape who we are.

A Gift to Begin Your Return

Receive Seasonal Somatics, a free embodied ritual and guided audio practice designed to help you reconnect with your body, inner rhythms, and the wisdom of the season you are moving through.

My Approach

At the heart of my work is the understanding that we are cyclical beings.

The same rhythms that move through the seasons, the moon, and the natural world also live within the body- shaping our energy, emotions, creativity, rest, expression, grief, and becoming.

Through the Wheel of the Year, somatic awareness, ritual practice, and mythic storytelling, I support women in understanding the season they are currently moving through- and how to meet themselves there with greater compassion, presence, and trust.

My spaces are gentle, embodied, and deeply relational.

A place to slow down.

To soften the urgency.

To reconnect with the wisdom already living within you.

At the heart of this work is a deep recognition of the importance of community, secure relational spaces, and collective care.

I believe wellness must move beyond individual responsibility alone and towards wider systems of connection, support, and belonging.

I honour the liminal spaces and the subtle conditions where transformation naturally unfolds. I trust in healing that emerges organically from within in ways that are embodied, sustainable, and lasting.

For me, this is the feminine path of deep, receptive, and transformative practice that shapes everything here at Way of the Wild Rose.

Healing Is Cyclical

You are not meant to bloom endlessly. Rest, descent, stillness, and change are sacred parts of the journey too.

The Body Holds Wisdom

Your body is not something to fight against or override - it is a living guide worthy of listening to.

Remembering Happens in Relationship

Healing unfolds through witnessing, story, ritual, community, and spaces where we are safely met as we are.

“If you want to find the wild part of your soul, nurture and nourish it, I highly recommend Carmen's retreats and Archetypal explorations.”

Laura

“I connected with a part of myself that I’d lost and even forgotten about. A part of myself that was so central and core to who I was as a child, and who I have been unknowingly searching for my whole adult life.”
