My story began when I was 4 years old. 

When I was 4 years old, I sat in a little red chair on my grandma's sidewalk and asked Jesus into my heart. I was also molested by my stepfather who threatened to throw away all my toys if I didn't wash the dishes. I wasn't tall enough to reach the sink so I had to stand on a step stool. 

From the ages of 4 to 9, I had the same recurring dream every single night. It was of a man, disguised as a monster and a toddler on a conveyor belt. I later learned that the man in my dreams was my stepfather and the toddler was me...The symbolism in my dreams was my earliest introduction to intuition. 

Growing up, I was very sweet, extremely shy and always loved writing poetry. I was raised by my amazing mother, who I lovingly refer to as Mommy Linda. We moved around frequently and I grew up fast. 

My mother eventually re-married and at 13, my parents separated. When I was 14, my stepbrother Andrew passed away in a car accident and a month later, my stepfather Stan passed away from cirrhosis of the liver, although I always thought he passed away from a broken heart.

When I was 15, I came downstairs one day and saw my deceased stepfather sitting on our living room couch. 

After his couch visitation, my electronics started malfunctioning A LOT! I remember lying in bed and my television and radio randomly turn on and off. This was my earliest introduction to life after death. 

Weird things like this continued to happen and I didn't understand why so I kept it a secret. 

BUT, when I was 27, this changed. My luxury apartment, my very healthy bank account and my very handsome soon to be husband were all stripped away, seemingly overnight. I regularly cried myself to sleep and wanted to end my life. 

One evening, since I was raised as a Christian, I pleaded with God, asking him to send me a sign. Please God, can you hear me? Can you hear my prayers? Are you real?  I've lost everything. I have nothing. Please help me. I don't want to be here anymore. The very next morning when I awoke, the screen on my cell phone turned black and a beautiful white cross appeared... That was my sign. 

A few days later when I was at a bookstore, a book called "I see Your Dream Job, by Sue Frederick," caught my attention and practically jumped off the shelf and into my arms. I had no idea what an Intuitive was, but I bought the book anyways because it felt right. When I got home, I read it and quickly realized that she sounded A LOT like me! 

I was 27 years old and this was the first time I'd ever met anyone like me...

From there, I signed up for an Intuitive Coaching session with Sue and I attended her Grief Healing Workshop where she taught us how to communicate with our passed loved ones through automatic writing.  

I was amazed because she'd finally put a name to something that I'd been doing since childhood, which was channeling messages for people through automatic writing in my poetry. I was so excited that this was actually a "THING." Like a "REAL THING!"  

Afterwards, my channeled poems quickly grew and I started receiving messages like this from women: "Because of the guidance in your poem, I finally quit my job, yay!” Or, “after reading your poem, I finally found the courage to divorce my husband and go back to graduate school, yay!” Or, “OMG, how did you know that? Thank you so much for the validation!" 

My fascination with empowering women to use their pain as fuel for their passions expanded and thus my formal education in spirituality and alternative healing began. I went on to study various types of energy healing and healing movement medicines, which all shared a common theme of empowerment. I also extensively developed and practiced my intuition by studying as a mentee under two professional Psychic Mediums for 6 years.

All of this which led me here to you today, woo-hoo!
