Background & Lineage

I have a BFA in Advertising, an M.Ed. in Counseling and Guidance, and a D.Min. in Transformational Spiritual Coaching. In addition, I have seminary training and ordination as an Interfaith Minister since 2005. I spent 10 years as a Therapist before letting go of my license to follow my purpose and build my Spiritual business as a fuller expression of my Spiritual gifts.

I was raised in a family that did not recognize Spiritual gifts, and, yet, I now know I have been an Empath all my life and have been a Healer with Psychic and Mediumship gifts since I was young. I first pursued my natural calling as a Healer and Helper through traditional routes like Therapist, working in nonprofit organizations for victims services, and then as a Hospital Chaplain before beginning my own business. My business began in 2007 as a local Healing Center and grew over the years into an online global business.

I had my first Spiritual Awakening at the age of 25 when I was leaving a toxic marriage to become a single mother of a toddler, and facing the terminal illness of my best friend. Over the past 32 years, I have been on a personal Spiritual Journey that evolved into my vocation and career 14 years ago. 

I was doing volunteer work with AIDS patients in the early 1980s, which is where I was first introduced to Louise Hay’s work and became involved in her style of Healing Circles. From there, I left my career in Advertising and Publishing and went to graduate school to become a Therapist. 

I was called to Seminary and spent two years in training and was ordained in 2005 as an Interfaith Minister.

In 2010, I discovered the world of coaching and spent that entire decade studying with some of the greatest Coaches in the Business World, the Speaking World, the Events World, and in the Personal and Spiritual Growth and Development and Human Potential World. I have not been without a Coach since 2009. I believe in Coaching as a strategy and tool for success, and I continue to take on a limited number of Private Clients every year. I believe that the best coaches for Personal and Spiritual Growth and Development, Transformation, and Healing are Coaches who bring their gifts and abilities as Psychics, Mediums, and Healers to the table in their work with their clients. I train some of my selected Clients to become Spiritual Coaches, and you can connect with them here.  

In 2014, I took an intensive deep dive into speaking and wrote my first book. It was published in 2015, and I traveled speaking on stages with my book. In 2017, I had my second book published. I continue to speak both on live and virtual stages with my books. In 2016, I was invited to spend a year teaching and training Coaches to speak and write their books for some prominent coaches in my field. Now, I do this work for my own Clients. 

In 2017, after saying no to Mediumship for 10 years, I committed to myself and to Spirit to professionally develop my Mediumship, including as a Platform Medium. I quickly discovered this was a very strong gift of mine, and also that my expertise as a Coach and Teacher was still being called for in this newly developed arena. I had been personally developing my Mediumship since 2007, but I had kept it mostly in the background. I dedicated the next 4 years to traveling extensively and studying with a large number of the best and most renowned Mediums in the world. You can see a list of them below.

Today, I am The Premier Coach for many up-and-coming and well-known Psychics, Mediums, and Healers and have created a strong community of Spirit Workers that I connect, nurture, and teach and train. My approach is to work with them on both a personal and professional level, and it is a winning combination. I bring to my work with my clients and students my own Psychic, Mediumship, and Healing abilities as well as my strong expertise in Spiritual Business and Coaching. I work with my Clients intuitively, energetically, and strategically.
