Founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft • Creator of Moonsong, Shamanic Dimensions of Pregnancy and Autumn Woman Harvest queen workshops • co-creator of Winter Woman, Bone Wisdom Workshop • Grandmother •

My interest in bringing and offering this information is to help how I can in healing the wounded feminine and the wounded masculine of our patriarchal culture.

My mission is to help women reclaim feminine knowledge and wisdom, to help heal birth, menarche, menstruation, menopause and death, for all my relations.

I represent three lineages:

Home birth Midwifery –  ancient wise woman practices passed down the generations that I learned from Maggie Lecky Thompson (Australia).

EarthSong (Boulder, Colorado, USA) Shamanic Teachings and Practices – that I learned from James Harvey (AKA BlackBear) and Cedar Barstow.

Shamanic Midwifery – the teachings and insights of the Late Jeannine Parvati Baker (USA).

(Jane Hardwicke Collings is not registered as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.)

Grace offers astrology and Tarot readings, as well as hosting various circles and ceremonies.  Each year, she and her husband host a Wilderness Solo, singing up transformation through relationship to self, others and nature.

She is passionate about intentional living and deepening into radical self-trust.

Grace lives with her husband and three children outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, nourished by a big vege garden and the great expanse of prairie sky above.
