A cosy haven for gentle, magical souls…
Welcome to She Sprouted Wings!
Hello, lovely soul! I can see your unique, magical sparkle from here. 🤩
Whether you're a gentle dreamer, a butterfly-brained wonder, or simply someone seeking a kinder way of being, you’re SO welcome here.
What You'll Discover Here:
In this permission-rich space, crafted by Love and her dear friend Compassion, I explore pathways to flourishing, flaws and all. I’m playing with:
Poetry, personal stories and pop-up projects to encourage you to believe in yourself and spread your wings (in whatever way resonates with you).
Soul-nourishing writing practices that honour sensitive souls, frazzled nervous systems and neurodivergent minds.
Permission-rich explorations of how writing and compassion-led practices can create positive ripples in your life.
Stories from the journey of coming home to ourselves.
Gentle invitations to discover your magic through nourishing rituals (neurosparkly souls can create habits that stick… ask me how I know!)
Come as you are. Leave feeling more who you are.
About Your Guide
I’m Helen Grace MacGregor, an MA-qualified Writing for Wellbeing Guide who understands what it’s like to be different in a world that moves too quickly to see or appreciate your magic.
After receiving my ADHD and autism diagnoses in my fifties, I discovered that combining writing with compassionate movement and meditation created a pathway back to my true self—one that felt freeing, fulfilling, and FUN!!
Having let go of the “Shoulds” that had weighed me down for decades, I began flourishing… and finally, sprouted wings. 🦋
Through She Sprouted Wings, I blend academic expertise (MA in Creative Writing & Wellbeing), with embodied wisdom (certified in various healing arts) and lived experience to guide others in discovering their magic.
Everything offered here is an invitation, not a should. Take what resonates, and perhaps gently ponder what you most resist.
“You have a wonderful ability to be utterly real in a way that allows life's grittiness
to be accepted and also bathe that in luminous energy which reclaims the beauty
from the grit.” ~ DLP
A Personal Note
Even though my life sometimes feels like a shitshow beautiful mess, I've learned that when we give ourselves permission to be exactly as we are, magic happens 🪄
My journey has taught me that:
We're not less because we feel deeply
Our sensitivity is our secret strength
Our quirks are our unique magic.
Our stories matter, especially the messy parts
Our pace is perfect, whatever it may be.
Kindred community makes everything better
