I was born knowing…
Even as a child I had the ability to intuit the needs of others and see solutions to complex problems. As a young teenager, adults would gravitate to me, open up and share their troubles and ambitions. They would always leave feeling better and more on track. Being in the moment, listening and sharing insights was as natural as breathing. I was born to be a mentor, advisor, healer and coach.
And yet that part of me was silenced for a long time. My family taught me to fear the depth of my gifts and talents. They shut me down and I ended up exhausted, stressed and living an edited life. And it was no way to live.
I left home at a young age, escaping from the chaos, and over time allowed my natural connection to the divine to re-establish and deepen. I released my fear and cultivated my ability to access, work with, and translate inner work, spiritual work and self awareness into aligned action and next level achievements. It is ironic that all the natural skills and talents that were so feared, and maligned became the cornerstone of The Sovereign Way.
Today I help people liberate themselves, do their greatest work, and become the sovereign rulers over their own lives.
This is the call I have been hearing all my life. It has tugged at my heart ever since I can remember, maybe not in these exact words, but always as a deep and abiding desire to make a difference in the world, to understand myself (others and humanity), to look deeply into the connections between all things – and live a full, glorious and meaningful life–sovereign, loving and free.
All the paths I have travelled, all of life’s roller coasters, all the experiences, and all the time and energy following my curiosity and intuition have brought me to this moment. I feel truly blessed to share with you The Sovereign Way, and offer my presence and my expertise to accelerate personal, professional and spiritual evolution, and to help create the change we want to see in the world.
Here is the problem: When you are out of step with your sovereignty, frustration, unease, and an inexplicable sense of being incomplete are constant companions. There is doubt. There is worry. There is confusion. There is lying awake at night haunted by existential questions, and there is constant second-guessing.
Even if you are doing well. Even if you are successful. Even if you have accomplished a great deal, you never feel quite whole, confident, powerful, or completely on track. Your energy levels, your health and enthusiasm can suffer.
You know something important is missing, but you cannot quite put your finger on what this is – and not knowing – ignoring it – this has stopped being an option. The symptoms keep showing up in every aspect of your life, preventing you from really enjoying yourself, your relationships, and your success.
The Sovereign Way is a methodology and philosophy for accelerating personal, professional and spiritual evolution, created out of a lifetime of personal experience, education, deep work with hundreds of clients, and receptivity to divine inspiration.
As you engage in this work you gain new levels of self awareness, and the true genius, the limitless potential, and the truth of who you are is revealed; you gain access to your deepest wisdom and most profound gifts, and your greatest work can be birthed with ease and grace. This is The Sovereign Way.
Put me in front of an audience, in a seminar, on a panel, being interviewed, on a stage, or in front of a microphone and I am in my element. I love to connect and inspire an audience getting them thinking, creating and moving towards what they want most.
I created and hosted over 60 shows of Philippa Rowlands presents Beautiful Business live-to-air on the Toginet Network. The show helped thousands of entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, leaders and creators to find inspiration, more energy and new meaning in their work. The show was “inspirational,” “challenged the expected,” and “provided a sea of calm and brilliant new ideas.” Philippa “opened up my eyes, my heart and my mind” and her voice “is beautifully powerful.”
I have been a writer all my life; magazine articles, books, blog posts, stories, social media posts and poetry. “Philippa’s writing is a delight.”, “she tells stories in such accessible ways,” “her style is unique, flowing and intelligent; it just carries you along,” “it draws you in,” and “her writing speaks directly to me, it’s like she knows me.” “Her writing is beautiful, but it is the new ideas, perspectives and thoughts she shares that always seem to be just what I need.”
Natural ability is wonderful, but unless it is nurtured, exercised and expanded through experience and knowledge, it will not have the impact required to do high level work or achieve exceptional results.
When we work together, I bring all my natural talents to the table + a wealth of experience gained with more than 20 years working with incredible individuals (and groups) as a mentor, coach, ally, teacher, healer and spiritual advisor + formal qualifications in coaching, science, healing, language and literature, communication, and teaching + I have a natural curiosity and love of learning which means informal knowledge plays an important part in our work…
I bring all this to the table in service of you, your personal.professional and spiritual evolution and what you want to achieve.
I make art and write poetry as a form of spiritual practice and meditation. I connect to my inner world (soul if you like) enter a different state of being. The world fades into the distance and there is only me, my medium and my inspiration. When I am in the flow it is one of my happy places.
I am rarely without a cup of tea next to me. I like tea. My friends think I am fuelled by tea. That might be a bit extreme. I also like water and an occasional glass of wine or champagne as well…
But there is actually more to the tea drinking…
Tea is more than a simple pleasure for me, especially the first cup (or pot) of the day.
I developed a ritual many years ago where I sit for a moment each morning and ask, “What qualities do I need today?”, “What qualities do I need to boost?” and then I scan my extensive tea collection until I land with the tea that I sense carries the qualities I need to elevate my energy.
I make the tea and all the while I am thinking of those qualities. I carry the tea to the table and as I pour the tea, again I am thinking of those qualities…giving attention to those qualities…claiming them for the day and boosting them. The combination of conscious ritual, action and attention is very powerful.
I am married to my Mr. Wonderful, and our enduring relationship is founded on love, trust and communication. He is very different to me in many ways, but our heart to heart connection is strong.
We have raised five amazing, challenging, fascinating, beautiful, and intelligent children. All individuals. All now adults finding their way in life. All good hearted. They are not always easy, but they make life interesting. If I had a do-over I would not change bringing these five humans into the world, not for anything.
We share our home and garden with four cats, a dog, and ten chickens.
My home and my family are my heart place. This is where I come to rest, create, and be loved unconditionally.
My favorite place is on our wide veranda. I love to curl up on the outdoor sofa with a soft blanket, good book and a cup of tea, or you will find me sitting at a small table overlooking the garden writing in a beautiful notebook with my fountain pen or working on my computer.

I was brought up on 40 acres outside a large city and I spent a great deal of time in the fields, climbing trees, taking myself on rambles and finding peace away from a chaotic and dysfunctional household. I learned from a very early age that nature supported me in many ways. It grounds me. It settles my mind so I can access my heart. It speaks to me in ways that little else can and I am passionate about preserving wild places.
