I had just been through a horrible break up, felt depressed and my self-esteem was at an all time low. Colleen was able to hold me in a space of unconditional love and support. She is deeply intuitive and was able to identify patterns that were no longer serving me. Through my work with her I have created lasting change, self-acceptance and confidence. Also she is funny which for me is always the best medicine!

Diary of a witch
Diary of a Witch: available on Amazon
In 2012, a four-hundred-year-old manuscript is exhumed from the walls of a Scottish farmhouse. It is the lost diary of Elspeth MacGregor, a Celtic woman accused of being a witch.
Written in 1612, in a frigid, rat-infested dungeon, Elspeth’s diary reveals the true story of midwives, healers, herbalists and common women who practiced the "old religion," revered the earth, and exulted in their sexuality.
So formidable were these women, so threatening to the patriarchal society surrounding them, that they were terrorized by a ruling class hell-bent on eradicating them.
Elspeth MacGregor’s diary is the first female chronicle of “The Burning Times.”
Colleen's novel "Diary of a Witch" is available on Amazon.com
