Who are you? How did you land in your current career, and what, exactly, do you do for clients?
I am an author and modern-day mystic who writes true magical stories about my spiritual experiences and who works with clients in sessions, teaching them how to embrace their direct spiritual connection and experience real magic in their lives.
Growing up, I regularly saw and experienced magical things. I communed with spirits, witnessed other realms, and had dreams come true. I was taught that I had a very active imagination. I was taught that what I was experiencing wasn’t real. So that’s what I grew to believe, and by the time I was a teenager, I’d become a total atheist. Then, in college, I became very sick.
I was diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases and epilepsy, and my whole body felt like it was breaking down. This sent me on a long self-healing journey.
It started in doctor’s offices and in MRI machines, and it ended in meditation circles and on the Reiki table. Over years of self-study, mentorship, and training, I reunited with my spiritual truths and discovered that I was incredibly psychic. And once I fully accepted myself and my experiences, my body healed, and all of my symptoms disappeared.
Once I was feeling better, I became increasingly aware of how so many aspects of my life didn’t support my true nature and were continuing to harm me. So I left my career in real estate, entered a yoga teacher training and a Reiki healer mentorship, and committed to living a life that was fully aligned with who I was versus who I thought I should be.
And that’s when people just started coming to me for intuitive readings. I loved doing this, so I quickly turned my hobby into a business. And in time, giving readings taught me that so many women are struggling in many of the ways I’ve struggled. So many women have empathic, intuitive gifts, but because they’ve been taught that these gifts don’t exist, they don’t know how to control them, and they’re left feeling frustrated, anxious, confused, exhausted, and yes, often sick.
Meeting all of these incredible women inspired me to focus my work on empowering other people’s intuition and their own direct spiritual connection. Because while I can read people and receive messages for people, I really have no desire to be looked to for answers, so instead, I use my spiritual gifts to help people remember who they are and what they’re here to do.
I use my gifts to help people get really, really honest because I believe that that’s what helps us feel at home in our lives, and I want people to feel at home in their lives.
And yes, my client’s lives do become filled with magic! But in many ways, the magic is just the perk of being honest. The magic is always there. We just forget that a lot of the time.
How can working with someone like you be helpful in tapping into your own intuition? What is a session like?
Trust and lack of experience are the two big things that stand between most people and their intuition. In sessions, I act as a champion, helping people conquer the voice that tells them not to trust their connection, and I act as a guide, helping people navigate and understand how their intuition works.
Every session is also highly informed by my own intuition. This helps me see and understand how someone’s spiritual connection works, what’s blocking them from experiencing it, and what will help them strengthen it.
Each individual session is private (one-on-one), and they all vary based on the intuitive information I receive and what arises when I share it with my clients.
The work is powerful, transformative, and fun. There are often a lot of tears and laughter and of course, magic.
In terms of living a more magical life—what are some small ways to start out?
There are three things that I recommend to pretty much everybody, and these are great starting places.
1. Meditate
In order to really transform your life and create your world, you first have to be aware of who you are in the world, so you need to know your mind. Your mind is busy creating most of your reality, and meditation helps you understand what this means. If you’re thinking,“I’m awful at meditating!” remember that meditation isn’t about silencing your mind. It’s about watching your mind. Just sit with yourself for five to ten minutes. That’s all it takes to start.
2. Write
The second is to keep an intuition journal. Just start noticing your hunches, your feelings, the things you dream, the voices you hear, etc. Write it all down and observe how the world unfolds around you. This gives you a mirror so you can see your intuition and start to trust it.
3. Invite magic in!
The last thing is to simply invite magic into your life. There are so many ways to do this—going for walks, sitting by water, lighting a candle, burning some sage, meditating. This is about the little things you can do on a daily basis that help you say to the world that you’re open to talking. From there, the conversation will expand. But first, you have to welcome it. You have to say hi!
Anything else?
