Author, Spiritual Life Coach, Modern-Day Priestess
Do you ever wish life was more…. fulfilling?
Deeper? Purposeful?
Less in a rut and more in the groove?
Do you feel life is passing you by and you haven’t yet fully explored your life purpose?
I’ve been there too.
I’m a qualified life coach. I guide midlife women towards their life purpose and then empower them to live it. I help transform lives from the mundane to the magical.
My coaching toolkit includes spiritual, shamanic and therapeutic tools. I hold sacred space during coaching sessions and blend transformative coaching with ritual and deep soul work. Together, we make alchemy.
I’ve worked with professional women from the UK, USA and mainland Europe. Lawyers, media CEOs, shamanic practitioners, doulas and small business owners…. all with a desire for change. All with a deep soul ‘knowing’ that their paths have veered off course but needing guidance on how to soulfully steer it back.
I’ve been described as ‘wise‘ and ‘quietly but constantly inspiring‘ with a ‘gentle voice and smile that empowers others to show their own inner self‘.
My qualifications and expertise include life & business coaching, tarot, Reiki, hypnosis, past life regression therapy, and EFT. I’m an experienced ritual and circle facilitator, both in person and online.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been interested in spirituality, the occult and the mysteries of life (and beyond). I was that strange little girl lurking in the library with arms full of books on topics everyone else seemed to avoid.
As life was busy imploding, my spirit found a kinship with witchcraft. We’ve bonded well ever since but in the past five years or so, I’ve moved more towards shamanic practices. This has been inspired by my research into historical witchcraft and an intrinsic belief that the roots of European witchcraft are found in northern European indigenous shamanic practices. Hard to prove as the history of witchcraft is murky and heavily influenced by the Christian views of the times.
My spiritual path continues to evolve and has lead me to explore (and experience) the beautiful oneness of life.
As a lifetime book nerd, it was only a matter of time before I put pen to paper and wrote my own books.
My first book, The Inner Goddess Revolution, was snapped up by O-Books and published in 2015.
I self-published Goddess Rising in 2017. Apart from the final editing, I completed every step of the book publishing process myself. I created the cover, designed the interior, sourced my ISBN, created the ebook versions and, of course, wrote the book.
I designed and self-published my own oracle deck – The Sea Whispers Oracle – and I successfully funded my tarot deck – Wisdom of the Depths Tarot on Kickstarter.
Other things about me
Other things about me?
I am a multi-creative type of person. I identify with the Alchemist and Creator archetypes.
I’m an introvert (INFP). Sun in Pisces, Moon in Cancer, Aquarius rising.
I love the sea (and all bodies of water). I might have been a selkie in a previous life.
I have been reading tarot for almost twenty years. I’ve lost count of the number of tarot and oracle decks I own. Well over a hundred of each.
I co-run an online women’s circle – 13 Moons Women’s Circle – with my friend Allison Marlowe.
I’m a keen amateur photographer with a love of seascape and landscape photography. The sea is my muse!
I love to cook (and eat). I’ve been a vegetarian since 2009 but upped my game to a plant-based diet in 2015.
My superpower is unravelling knots. I will spend as long as it takes to unknot string, wool, chains, or whatever. I’m good at undoing figurative knots too.
I live in a small seaside town in north Wales with my husband and teenager but part of my soul eternally remains in London, my birth town. My favourite tree is in Avebury and my favourite door is in Winchester. You do have a favourite door, right?
Official bio
Lyn Thurman is the author of The Inner Goddess Revolution and Goddess Rising.

She lives near the sea on the north coast of Wales with her family in a house heaving with books and a ridiculous amount of tarot decks.
