First Steps on my Journey
Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I was meant to touch peoples’ lives in some way. From the time I was five, I was writing short stories and poetry. Never shy, (I’m an Aries, after all,) I use to share these stories with family, friends and classmates, and dreamed of the day when I would be a professional writer. As time passed, I considered other careers in which I could assist others such as music, theatre and even law. I was an extremely creative child, always creating my own little fantasy world filled with princesses, witches, enchanting castles and dashing “Prince Charmings.” I also had several “imaginary friends,” my favorite of whom was named Polly. I later learned that these supposed “imaginary friends” were actually spirit guides.

As a young child, I was very religious. I grew up attending a Baptist church where I often performed with the choir. I always felt very close to God and thought of God as a beloved friend and confidant.

A Deep Sorrow and a Gift Discovered
When I was six, my beloved Aunt Irene, who was like a second mother to me, passed away after a brief battle with Leukemia. As my family, and especially my mother, struggled to cope with their grief at her sudden loss, I began communicating with her spirit. Often times, while sitting in class, I would feel her sitting or standing next to me, or hear her voice in my mind, or sometimes, in my ear. As I grew older, I stopped sensing her presence, and only later would I understand the significance of her communication.

Profound Fear, Profound Transformation
By the time I was a teenager, my fantasy bubble had burst, so to speak, and I was far more interested in popular music, teen crushes, and hanging out with my friends, than I was in enchanting castles. At thirteen, I began experiencing profound and frightening anxiety attacks. It took many months before I was diagnosed. After my diagnosis, I began seeing a counselor, learned self-hypnosis, and tried to go on with my life. However, I grew very suicidal, and one night as I lay awake formulating a plan to take my own life, who should appear in my bedroom but my beloved Aunt Irene. I could see and hear her clearly, and the intensity of the experience shook me to the very core of my being. She told me that I should press onward --- that God had a tremendous purpose for my life and that I should never fear.

Speechless and stunned at the sheer magnitude of this experience, I began to weep uncontrollably. But I was soon shocked out of my tears when a radiant light illuminated the entire room. Suddenly my bed was completely surrounded by dozens of unbelievably beautiful beings, who I inexplicably knew to be angels. They gifted me with such profound comfort and love in the following moments that I simply cannot describe it in words. As I basked in their amazing presence, they began to sing, music the likes of which I have never been privileged to here before or since. I was filled with a tremendous sense of peace, and I surrendered deeply to the unimaginable glory of the experience.

Traveling my Path
After that night's events, I slowly began putting my life back together, and soon things were pretty much back to normal. But one thing had changed; I was now once again very in touch with God, and I was in touch with myself as a spiritual Being.

Flash forward to a September evening when I was sixteen. On this evening, a dear friend, (who became a spiritual mentor,) helped facilitate my connection with my primary spirit guide. It was an experience which I simply can’t express in writing. It was truly glorious and profound, and opened up my life and world in more ways than I could imagine.

Soon after this, I began to immerse myself in the study of many different spiritual traditions and religious faiths, and as a result, my mind and heart were opened to many wonderful ways of worshipping my beloved Creator!

Over the years, I have come to fully embrace my connection with Father Mother God, the deep knowledge that we are all children of God, and my own singular spiritual path. I have also learned a tremendous amount about myself both personally and spiritually. I strive daily to be the best person I can be and to serve Father Mother God to the very best of my ability, and with my whole heart and soul. I continue to joyfully embrace many spiritual traditions, including Buddhism, the practice of Hindi chanting, the wise woman tradition, and many Native American spiritual practices, among others. In addition, I continue to cherish my deeply fulfilling and beautiful partnership with Jesus Christ. Today, I have come to incorporate many different customs, ideas and tenants from various faiths and traditions, into my own unique spiritual path, which I walk with deep serenity and joy.

Professional Achievements
I hold Bachelor of Arts degrees in Music, (with a concentration in voice,) and Psychology. I gained my certification as a Spiritual Healing Practitioner through the International Awareness Academy, which is founded and directed by renowned spiritual teacher Melinda Rodriguez. Melinda is truly wonderful, and was a tremendous catalyst in helping me to gain the confidence and skills which allow me to serve to the best of my ability. I am blessed and honored to know her.

On the Personal Side
I feel richly blessed to live in the picturesque mountains of North Carolina, in the southeastern United States. Being in a rural area, I am forever delighted by the beauty of nature and the world which Mother Father God has created. I am an avid bookworm and music junkie, love chocolate, Chinese food, stimulating conversation, history, philosophy, and all things Celtic, as I am primarily of Scottish and Irish descent. I am thrilled and honored to be traveling my personal and spiritual path, and am always delighted to share with, and learn from, my clients as well. I am tremendously blessed, and I express my boundless gratitude to God on a daily, often hourly, basis.

Thank you for sharing in my journey.

May you be profoundly blessed!
