MY BACKGROUND
As a young child, I remember knowing God as pure Love and Light. Raised in a metaphysically-minded household, I learned about hands-on healing, meditation, visualization and manifesting at a very young age.
In college (in the mid-80's) I offered non-conventional ideas to my teachers by writing papers about Soul Mates and Past Lives, and created a vision board for an Interpersonal Communication class which included images of energy healing. At age 19, I began attending a weekly meditation group where I practiced meditation, intuitive skills and manifesting under the guidance of our "family psychic." Hence, within a year I "manifested" a new car and - more notably - my future husband, Eric, whom I married in 1992!
A year and half before marriage, I graduated from the University of California, Davis with a Bachelor of Science degree in Design and a Minor in Art Studio. Creativity and self expression were important to me then, and continue to bring joy to my life today! I enjoy knitting (and other fiber arts), jewelry making, dancing, simple gardening, decorating and designing, and experiencing beauty in all forms.
I believe creativity is the Divine expression of our soul, demonstrating our willingness to engage with beauty and manifestation.

MY FAMILY
After college, I worked full time as an Interior Designer until our first daughter was born in 1993. As much as I loved design, it had nothing over the blessings of motherhood, and my maternity leave actualized my lifelong dream!
In 1997, our son was born at home - breech, mind you! - and mothering continued to be my ministry. My family grew exponentially when our last two daughters entered the world as a "matching pair" in 2001.
I have been blessed beyond words by my strong and heart-centered family!

MY NEW LIFE
At the beginning of 2017, Eric began experiencing odd symptoms. By June, my very fit husband was diagnosed with ALS - also known as Lou Gerhig's Disease - and quickly declined. Though by far the most difficult job I've ever had to endure, I am grateful to have been his caregiver until he passed in July of 2018.
In the midst of this trial, my mom - my rock, my teacher, my everything - was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. It took her life just ten days after I lost my husband. Both died peacefully in my home, encompassed in pure love.
Today, and throughout these concurrent events, I've discovered depths of pain I've never before experienced, amazing contributions from people - strangers and within our community - I didn't expect to be so giving, and an inner strength I never hoped to call upon. At this point, I am open to whatever goodness comes to me, knowing it will not negate - or even "justify" - the profound losses of my mom and my husband.
Imagining life without my two foundational relationships has been the greatest challenge of my life. And I continue to show up.

About My Practice
MY INTUITIVE READINGS
While offering a Waldorf-inspired morning preschool from my home, one of my preschool moms suggested that I consider doing Akashic Records Readings. As Waldorf parents, we were both familiar with the work of Rudolf Steiner; he was the founder of Waldorf education and occasionally referred to the Akashic Records in his teachings. She told me, "You already channel information anyway, you might as well get paid for it." Thus, a new career began.
Though others had always recognized a soul wisdom in me, well ahead of my years, I had never considered myself to be a "channeler." I honestly thought people saw the world the same way I did. Yet, by working in the energy field known as the Akashic Records, I was able to deepen my own gifts and see people even more clearly, with less judgment and more Love. My heart was opened and I was able to experience people in their essence, not just their personality. Moreover, as I had been working with an intuitive therapist who really saw me for the first time in my life, I wanted to share the profound gift of really seeing others at a soul level.

MY SPIRITUAL MENTORING WORK
After a few years of working as an Intuitive, I began to notice patterns that were unfolding for many of my clients (as well as myself). These patterns were revealing to me major shifts in our Spiritual Evolution - also known as our "Awakening" or "Ascension." Expansion was upon us in a really big way; as individuals, as a collective, and for our planet. Recognizing my role as an "ancient soul" with the ability to see and feel these energetic shifts, it was clear to me it was time to support other light-bearers as they stepped into the next phase of their own emergence.
Spiritual Evolution Mentoring allows me to offer support and guidance to people who are ready to align with their True Self - the evolved soul they've come here to be and enjoy. I help people explore finer, more expanded frequencies so they can learn to resonate with and embody these powerful, life-changing energies. With access to these subtle realms, it becomes easier to realize our purpose, access our innate spiritual gifts, and create the empowered, joyful lives we want to live. The "new paradigm" is here, now. The question is, "Are we aligning with it?"

About My Public Offerings
MY SPEAKING
With a lifetime of metaphysical teachings and over 15 years as a professional intuitive and spiritual teacher, I can speak on a wide spectrum of topics. Much like my Readings and Mentoring sessions, I easily tap into the information that is most beneficial for my audience, and speak eloquently from that place. From the pureness of the "higher" realms to the practicality of daily living, I anchor my talks with relatable stories and a compassionate heart. By making the topic relevant and tangible, I share enriching ideas that are both inspirational and useful.
From topics related to Owning our Power, Accessing our Inner Mystic, Living into our Authenticity, Spiritual Parenting, and Releasing Blocks with Grace, I bring humor, insights and clarity to my speaking engagements. Participants leave feeling connected, rejuvenated and ready to take their next step.

MY WRITINGS
Interestingly enough, I am not much of a reader and sometimes I resist the idea of being a writer since the two often to go hand-in-hand for "real writers." Yet I write because I am a messenger and Life seems to want to express through me in written words, whether practical or poetic. In terms of the practical - and I use this word loosely since my spiritual writings are likely not viewed as practical in the traditional sense - most of what I write is based on patterns I see happening in my clients, in our changing world, and what I see intuitively in regards to our collective awakening. I am an advocate for personal empowerment.
I also enjoy poetry and am in the process of writing my first book!
