There is more to this life than what the eye can see. I have always known this, and it is the knowing that brought Spiritwood into being.

 

Hi there, I’m Lauren, someone who has devoted her life to crystals, witchcraft, the unseen realms,

a little bit of a wanderer tbh....

​

My path began in the 90s as a young witch, drawn to the moon, ritual, plants, and the quiet language of nature. I never left that path. It has simply evolved, deepened, and expanded into shamanic practice, crystal healing, and plant medicine work, while still rooted in witchcraft, lunar cycles, and the old ways of listening.​​

I grew up deeply aware of what sits behind the veil. Whispering to spirits, speaking with the moon, and noticing the subtle shifts in people and place were all part of my inner world long before I had language for any of it.

In a world before the internet, the metaphysical section of the local bookshop was a kind of sanctuary for me. A place where I could find echoes of what I already felt but hadn’t yet been taught to name.

Finding like minded kin in those early years was a gift I am still grateful for.

We practised rituals, learned tarot,

and built bonds that shaped a formative part of my life and continue to stay with me.

My path later led me to England in the middle of 2006, where my connection to crystals, ancestors, and sacred places deepened and came into clearer focus through lived experience and exploration.

In 2016, I returned to Tasmania, and Spiritwood began soon after.

​

I work with crystals as conscious allies, not objects. I work with plants through study and lived practice in Herbal Medicine, learning the intelligence held within the body and the earth.

I work with crystal healing, shamanic journeying and soul retrieval to support people in meeting the parts of themselves that have become lost, hidden, or fragmented through life experience.

​

Spiritually, I am an animist. I relate to land, stone, plant, and spirit as living beings in relationship with us, not resources to be used. My practice is about listening, translation, and remembrance.

Spiritwood began in 2017 as a crystal business and has evolved into something deeper.

​

I always say I am not here to fix people. I am here to help create the conditions where they can hear themselves more clearly again.

Much of my work meets people in moments of transition.

Times where old identities are dissolving and something new is trying to form, even if it is not yet clear what that is.​

​

Return to the body.

Return to the earth.

Return to what has always been there beneath everything else.

Spiritwood is an extension of my life and practice.

Everything I offer comes from direct relationship with the land, the materials I work with, and the lived experience that has shaped my path.
