I began my spiritual journey many years ago. I had always believed that it began when I took my first healing course back in 1998, yet as I write this, I now know that it began when I was a young child, dating back as far as to the day I was born.
I, like many others walking this path, did not understand or become aware of the intuitiveness we all possess within until later in life.
At the time when this world opened up to me, I was searching for something that would fill that emptiness I felt growing deep within me. This “feeling” is best described by poet John O’Donohue: “In out of the way places of the heart, where your thoughts never seem to wander, this beginning has been quietly forming, waiting until you were ready to emerge.”
This “beginning” lead me down a path of self discovery and one that is in alignment with my soul’s purpose. John O’Donohue wrote the beautiful poem “For a New Beginning” and he captures the very essence of my life’s path and what I believe other’s lives to be as well. When we begin to search for the answers within, the mists begin to clear away, in turn bringing clarity for each of us.
I am a truth seeker; a healing spiritual medium.
I did not enter the world of healing and mediumship as a result of grief like so many other mediums do. Some have sought to develop their mediumship so that they may communicate with their loved ones who have passed away or perhaps to seek answers or guidance from them.
Although I have lost family members from an early age, I have always approached death in a different way than others. Perhaps from a young age, I have always known that life continues beyond physical death. To me, it just never felt like it was the end. I remember after my father died, I would have conversations with him and I would always know when he was near as a stillness would surround me. I had a knowing about many things throughout my life.
Through the exploration of healing first as a reflexologist and then later a Reiki Master, I discovered an excitement within me that erupted when I would offer healing to others. I must say that the excitement has never disappeared. To be honest, the healer within me began when i was a child, talking with the farm animals and providing them with the care and attention they needed from time to time. I was also a young mother, caring for my children; healing the hurts they encountered as young children and it has continued into their adult years. The same is true of friends, extended family members and any others who cross my path.
I recognized that I have been on a path of searching for many years, seeking that something that appeared to be missing in my life, but as I have evolved and understood, the clarity came. I continue to search but instead I now look within myself for the answers, instead of trying to find the answers outside of myself.
I have had friends, tutors and many others who have guided me along my spiritual path. For each one of these people, I am grateful to you for any piece of wisdom you have shared with me. I also know that there will be many more to come that I will cross paths with.
I have also discovered however that despite the many who provided encouragement and wisdom, I must also give credit to my spirit team. They are beyond wise and are all-knowing. They have taught me to sit in the sound of silence and listen to what my higher self has to say. The higher self is that out of the way place that O’Donohue spoke of - where our thoughts never seem to drift to. Going into this space uncovers the very essence of who I am. It clears away that mist of the unknown.
With the help of many including my spirit team, I have been unfolding my mediumship, healing and psychic abilities since 1998. I will always consider myself a student, as I am continually evolving and as such my path is continually being revealed by doing so. I also enjoy teaching mediumship and psychic development and each week I hold a mediumship development circle and trance circle online using Zoom.
As I have developed my mediumistic abilities, I communicate and see spirit many different ways. In the beginning of my development, I would see spirit within my mind’s eye, but as I have progressed, I see, hear and feel them differently now.
Communicating with spirit to me is like meeting someone on the street for the first time. I meet them with a smile and a friendly hello and then the conversation ensues. It just seems so very natural to me and its simple. As humans we tend to complicate things when there is no need to do so.
As reflected in the poem - “For a New Beginning”- although my destination is not yet clear, I trust the promise of the opening that is presented to me, so I can unfurl myself into the grace of beginning that is at one with my life’s desire.
It is my hope that should you book a session with me, that the mists will be cleared away for you, as sometimes we tend to get in the way causing our vision to be blurred. By doing so, as O’Donohue wrote, it allows you to step onto new ground, making your eyes young again with energy and dream.
