What Led Me To This Work

My early life was filled with adversity, much like many of yours. Early in my childhood, my mom became permanently disabled from a work-related accident. That required me to grow up at a young age to care for her and my sister while my dad went off for weeks at a time to make up the lost income. As the years went on, there was so much struggle with addiction on both sides of my extended family, many loved ones didn't make it. I've been there through cancer treatments, diabetic amputations, rampant dementia, open-heart surgeries, car accidents, life-threatening addictions, mental illnesses, and funerals.

​

As a teenager, I always held onto the possibility that things would turn around for my loved ones. At the time, I thought if I could just be the one to "make it" I could spare everyone around me of their suffering. I became highly ambitious, enrolled in college at 16, earned an associate's degree and high school diploma in the same weekend, then graduated with a bachelor's degree as a 20 year old. Just when I thought I was on the right track to "making it" for my loved ones, I lost my best friend and mentor to suicide. Suddenly, the materialism, money, and job titles didn't matter to me. There were many dark years ahead; years void of color, hope, and "God". 

It wasn't until half a decade later that I finally accepted my powerlessness over others, and moved through the fear that letting go of grief meant leaving behind the only connection I had left with my deceased loved ones. With some breathing room, I began to see that these "bad" things took me further than I could have ever gone on my own. I am not, and will never say my best friend's suicide had to happen for me to become me. There is not a day that goes by that I wouldn't trade my own highest good to have her back, even if it meant I'd never step onto the path I'm on... that's the funny thing about love. What I am saying is there comes a point where you have a choice to make; live in their absence or live in their honor. In my experience, it's only when you've confronted the harshness of reality and allowed yourself to stop fighting it that the catalysts can start working their transformational magic. This was the start of me repairing my relationship with a Higher Power, which I didn't realize at the time was really my relationship with my own Soul. I'll never forget how much I grew from that. In a matter of a short, three-month period, my life was completely different. I quit my job, traveled all over the world, became a flight attendant for a year, and then simultaneously began working towards a career as an airline pilot.

​

During that time, I started helping others navigate their own dark nights of the soul and was eventually asked to step into a leadership role at my airline the January before the start of the pandemic. I provided psychological first aid to hundreds of crewmembers, helped build a team of peers to do the same, and provided training each year. I grew so much as an individual and as a leader navigating the challenges of the pandemic but never expected what came next. 

​

I had just earned my commercial pilot's license when a few weeks later I had a premonition dream predicting the death of my beloved grandma. The very next day, she had an accident that began her exit from this world. Something about that time awakened psychic abilities in me that I had never had, which were both shocking and humbling. As I sat alongside my grandma in her final moments, I tangibly felt the veil lift as she was escorted into another realm. From that moment on, I knew without a shadow of doubt there is in fact more to life after death. As the weeks past, it became clear she was still communicating with me, guiding me so the transition into my new life wouldn't be so hard. I hadn't know it then, but I had reached a fork in the road... one way was the path already well paved guaranteeing money, credibility, and stability; the other uncharted territory. 

​

It would take another year of trying to integrate the two paths before I could accept that I had changed, and there was no turning back. That is when I found the courage to share with my loved ones that I would no longer be pursuing a career as an airline pilot, not knowing what would come of the leap of faith or how they'd react to me doing something some consider taboo (spoiler alert, there were mixed reviews. View my coming out of the "woo-woo" closet story here). 

​

My personal experience in grief and trauma response has not only enabled me to navigate past-lives more effectively, but allowed clients to feel more at ease. Because of that, clients relax into deeper states of hypnosis allowing for a clearer information to come through. It's absolutely incredible! It's not uncommon for people to come into a session nervous and leave laughing feeling light-hearted and free.

As a natural part of my own evolution through the information I learn through my client sessions, I have also expanded into offering Crystalline Soul Healing (CSH) which is another quantum healing modality centered around empowerment.

​

As someone who has lived in a heavily left-brain oriented life, I specialize in helping people who are new to accessing altered states of consciousness. There is always a bit of a learning curve as you deprogram yourself from the unconscious limiting beliefs placed onto us by society, but I've never had a client who couldn't eventually get there with enough practice. Accessing altered states of consciousness is a birthright. It's my honor to help you remember how to reconnect from within!
