ProfileBorn and raised in Geelong by European immigrant parents, I first became a journalist and editor, writing professionally for newspapers and magazines, before running my own family business. I’ve also been busy raising my sons, Kristofer and Matthew who are teenagers now.
It is often said that we study healing because initially we need healing ourselves. This was certainly true in my case. I grieved the loss of four members of my immediate family and became naturally curious about the after-life. My soul searching became somewhat of a spiritual pilgrimage where I questioned my religion, felt myself awakening to other beliefs. I felt that there was more I could offer people than just my wordsmithing. My spiritual pilgrimage took me through all the main religions and philosophies in a quest for truth. I studied the major sacred texts, meditation, learned how to astral travel, studied reincarnation, tantra, many healing modalities, these studies took years. I'm still learning, it’s an eternal quest.
I also had a calling to be a member of the clergy which was not possible for a family woman within the Catholic faith. Being a pagan priestess gives me the freedom to serve in what I do best. I moved into Civil Celebrancy after being approved by the Attorney General conducting weddings and other ceremonies such as Rites of Passage, for our young people moving into puberty, commitment ceremonies and renewals of vows for happy couples and naming ceremonies for babies and of course, funerals. This is my calling, under the banner of Priestess, I serve to heal, to provide a safe haven, to counsel, to marry, to bury and basically be there for you in all the most important times in your life.
I'm also a born entertainer, I recently starred in Vagina Monologues in 2005 and in 2008 in Melbourne's city theatres. I have two De'Avalon sisters, one in the US and one in the UK who are also gifted master healers. If you live either in the US or UK and I invite you to go to my links page if you want healing treatments from either Jan or Alexandra.
Blessed be. Eilish De'Avalon
