Personal Bio

I was born 11/11/1954 in a small town called Cosmopolis, Washington.  I lived most of my 55 years in this community.  I was born psychic and intuitive, but I struggled because I lived in an environment that did not support those gifts.  As a child, I heard, felt and saw spiritual beings that no one else did.  It was very confusing and I developed self-doubt.  I remember knowing what was going to happen ahead of time and knowing things about people that they had never told me.  Often, I could feel the presence of such radiant and loving beings, that I would bask in their love.  Other times, I just wanted to be "normal".  Over the years, my ability to be in contact with psychic and spiritual realms would come and go, depending on what was happening in my life.  There were times when it was much easier for me to be in contact with my spirit guides, angels and other beings. 

When I was 17, I was sitting on my bed, singing and praising God, when I began to sing in languages that I did not even know.  The more I sang, the brighter the light in my third eye became.  I did not know what a third eye was, but I saw a brilliant white light.  My body felt as though it was expanding and becoming lighter and lighter.  I had no idea what I was doing.  I now know that I was channeling ancient languages and that these are songs of healing.  The tones and vibrations bring in healing and love and light.  I knew it was spiritual and simply called it my spirit song.  I told very few people because it was, yet one more thing, that made me different. 

I was raised Christian and I loved Jesus and God, but suffered a great deal of confusion because much of what I was learning in church did not fit the loving presence that I experienced in my room.  I still love Jesus, but my beliefs have changed over the years.  I would describe myself as a mystic having Universal Spirituality.  I believe there are many paths to enlightenment and Christianity is just one.

I  raised my two children full time until I was 35.  At that time, I returned to school and obtained a Master's degree in counseling. I opened a private practice and worked as a licensed mental health therapist for ten years.  In 1999, I attended the Wellness Institute to become a clinical hypnotherapist.  It was while studying at Wellness for three years, that my psychic and spiritual gifts began to  blossom again.

During hypnotherapy sessions and breathwork and meditation, my ability to hear my spirit guides increased.  The channeled singing returned, which had been dormant for a number of years.  I could see and hear so much more clearly.  During this time of personal growth, I became much more committed to being on my spiritual path.  This was not always easy, but I was able to do a tremendous amount of healing during this time.  While doing breathwork, I would revisit past lives and I was able to begin resolving present life issues and past life issues.  I found that as I worked as a hypnotherapist, I would know so much more about my clients than they were revealing and my work accelerated.  I was able to help people resolve deep issues much more quickly than I had before.  I began to understand that as I worked with clients, I had spiritual guides and angels working with me to bring clarity and healing. 

My work as a therapist began to shift as I incorporated more of the spiritual in my work.  I was reticent at first, living in a fairly conservative community, to do some of the work I was being called to do.  However, I had committed myself to a spiritual path and I pushed myself through my fears.  I began to offer meditation classes and began doing psychic readings for people.  I even began to sing my channeled singing for the public.  I soon was offering workshops that included spirituality.  I was so pleased when people began coming to what I was offering.  I began to understand even more clearly that as I followed my guidance, my life flowed.  I began to call my hypnotherapy, intuitive hypnotherapy.  My work as a hypnotherapist was beginning to blossom, bringing healing to many, including myself.

I was divorced in 2004 and my life was turned upside down.  I had been married for over 28 years and it was devastating to me that we were not able to make it work.  However, it was just prior to my husband asking for a divorce that I began to do something that I had never done before.  I have mentioned that I sing in ancient languages, but I also speak them.  When I speak them, I can hear my guides most clearly in the front part of my head.  On my 49th birthday, for the first time, I could speak, hear and write the messages simultaneously.  This was a great source of guidance, comfort and wisdom that helped to carry me through this painful time. 

I was guided to leave Washington state and move from the small rural community I had lived in for 50 years.  I was guided to Los Angeles, CA of all places!  I left December 28, 2005 and arrived in Los Angeles on December 30th.  I lived there for exactly one year and one day.  It was a wonderful experience and truly helped me to leave behind the life I had known for so long.  I learned to let go of the roles that had been mine for so long.  Daughter, wife, mother and caretaker.  I left behind a thriving mental health practice and my identity as a professional.  I began to move more and more into my spiritual work and my identity shifted.  I was then guided to move to Reno, NV!  I arrived in Reno on New Year's Eve, 2006.  I was guided to a place called The Spiritual Element, which was my primary workplace until May of 2009.  I moved from Reno on August 22, 2009 to Renton, WA.  I soon realized that I needed to move closer to my mother and I now live with her in Cosmopolis, Washington which is next to Aberdeen.  I am in the process of getting re-established. I do phone sessions and I also provide my work at Soul Picnic, 313 I St., Aberdeen, WA. 

I would love to be able to say that once I decided to truly live my life by my spiritual guidance that life has been easy.  But, that would not be true.  I have had to let go of so much.  I have had to leave behind family, friends and familiarity.  I have had to let go of living in a nice house in a beautiful setting and being surrounded by lovely material things.  I have lived in small apartments and spent time sleeping on a blow up mattress in my friend, Angie's dining room. I am currently, living with my mom.  I probably own one tenth of what I once owned.  I have had to live with the anxiety of watching my savings dwindle to nothing while I looked and looked for a "regular job".  I have had to truly trust the Universe that my needs would be met even when I could not see how.  Yet, I would not trade one moment, not one, because I have grown far beyond who I was living in that beautiful home.  I have expanded more into my true and authentic self.  This is what I wish to help others find for themselves.  I wish to help others to grow and expand and fill themselves up with the truth of who they truly are.  I wish to help others to connect to their own guidance and angels, to experience healing at the deepest level, to let go of their fear and move into living from love.  My guides once told me that I could live from fear or love, that those were truly the only two choices.  I choose love.

For those with an astrological interest: My sun is in Scorpio in the 5th house, my moon is in Gemini in the 11th house, and my rising sign is Cancer.  In layman's terms, this means that I came to be a transformer, a spiritual messenger and a healer and nurturer.  It is my deepest longing to bring healing to myself and all others.  Namaste
