In many ways, I have always known that I was blessed to communicate with the spirit world, although it wasn't until I was 22 years old that I truly surrendered to my gift. As unexciting and normal as it sounds, I didn't walk around seeing spirits as a child. My gift of hearing the Spirit world gently unfolded over time, with a beautiful tapestry of many different and profound spiritual experiences woven together throughout my life.

Looking back, I realize that I have always felt a deep connection to the unseen, and it was as a small child that I began to converse with a power bigger than myself. For as long as I can remember, I would often communicate with God and my angels, always with the intention of bringing healing to those around me. My faithful prayer as a little girl was that God would magically make me an angel. What I did not know, is that in Latin, the word angel, means “Messenger”. For me, being a medium is truly an answered prayer

In my earlier years, I enjoyed exploring my spirituality by experimenting with the angel board, practicing automatic writing, and entertaining myself with spiritual games that I made up as an adolescent. For months, there was not a day that passed that I did not dedicate myself to checking in with my spiritual guides.

The spirits that I encountered on the other side became like family to me, and I soon realized that I no longer needed tools outside myself to communicate with them. I began to speak to them by using my own thoughts, through the power of my intention. I tested this process in several ways, and would casually ask the spirits to help in my daily life. My relationship with Spirit was very playful, fun, and amusing.

As I matured, I began to focus my energy and attention on deeper ways of expressing my spirituality. I was blessed to be surrounded with a library full of books, and at 14, I became a student of Florence Schinns 1929 famous work, “The Game of Life, and How to Play It”. I was so hungry for the knowledge, depth, and wisdom that only the inner journey can bring that I filled my days with spiritual books, meditation tapes, and other means of creative expression.

As I entered college, my interest focused on my love of dance, writing, and psychology. My intuitive gifts were again beginning to expand and I felt increasingly drawn to study dance as a means of therapy. However, fate intervened and I landed in journalism/communication. Looking back, it seems like a cosmic joke that a medium like me would hold a degree in communication. Little did I know who I'd be communicating with!
