My Story…
The Beginning
When I was around 12 years old I remember asking my Dad about death and what comes after. Even at that young age I had such a strong feeling that what we are couldn’t just disappear or turn into nothingness when our physical bodies were no longer a viable vehicle for our consciousness.
Looking for validation for these feelings I said to my Dad, “what happens to our memories and feelings when we die?” His answer was disappointing, being an atheist and all, in that he really didn’t have an answer, except that he said we just get buried in the ground and that was it. That definitely was not the affirmation I was looking for, yet it did not pacify or extinguish the feelings and belief I held way down inside about where we come from and where we return to, as beings of energy and consciousness. Do you remember having the feeling that there was more to life than what you were told to believe?
After high school, I made a career for myself as a chef, starting as a line cook and working my way up the culinary ranks. In a few years, I was running kitchens, writing menus and discovering all the stress, substance addictions and the unhealthy lifestyle that went along with it.
The Call from God
At age 35, I found myself unhappy and unfulfilled, between kitchens and seeking more connection to myself as well as others. My career as a chef was waning. After hearing a friend talk about her time living in Spain, I felt an irresistible call to go to Barcelona. After a few weeks of not being able to deny the call, I bought a plane ticket and took off a month later. The plan was to learn all I could about Spanish Cuisine and I was excited and terrified about being completely on my own for 90 days in a foreign country where I barely spoke the language.
About 5 weeks into my journey, I met a young woman who invited me to take part in a weekend-long spiritual course she was teaching. I knew about the chakras and spirit guides, but still didn’t feel a deep connection to the Universe or experience the Divine, the fulfillment I was really looking for.
In the final hour of the amazing course, God showed up inside me as a deeply loving and Light-filled presence and gave me a choice: continue to suffer with addiction and a mundane life or choose to do the Light’s work to spread healing, inner connection and help others to find their own Light in this often dark world. The choice was easy for me - I chose Light.
Transformation
A moment later I suddenly realized that my addiction to alcohol, cigarettes, cannabis and even coffee were just gone, disappeared! - no withdrawal, no cravings. From that moment on, to me, the Divine was as real as the sun, my own body and the air I breathe. God went from being a concept in my mind to a real, actual experience.
With a new path laid before me and a real sense of my life’s purpose, in 2012, I moved to the Twin Cities area of Minnesota to attend Shiatsu massage school. I studied many healing modalities to give me the tools I needed to do the work I signed up for. I immersed myself in learning all I could about Reiki and other energy work, various bodywork techniques and a powerful, modern version of NLP and hypnotherapy. These became some of the tools I still use to help others find healing and ignite their own inner Light.
The Path
In 2013, after massage school, I felt the same undeniable pull to travel, this time realizing that the “urge” was my own Guides’ relentless whispers lighting my way. I traveled to a remote spiritual school in Andre Pradesh, India where my teacher from Spain had studied. There, I attended a special two-week training, which allowed me to go deeper within myself and gave me the certification to teach the same weekend course I had received in Spain. I also learned spiritual processes to help others heal relationships, find the Divine for themselves and how to share ancient spiritual technologies.
In 2020, I endured the riots in Minneapolis, divorce, and the closure of a beloved studio that I worked at. My training in NLP and the mystical experiences I've had helped me ease my way through these challenging experiences with a newfound strength and peace.
At about the same time, the beautiful community of friends I had made in the Twin Cities decided to move on from Minnesota, and so did I. I was called to the mountains in Boulder County, Colorado and moved here in the middle of 2021.
Here, I am focusing on guiding others on how to foster their connection with the Spiritual World, using spiritual and psychological technology whenever needed.
