If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain.

— Emily Dickinson


 

All of my life I have been strongly aware of my connection to spirit, to my "knowing" as I call it, my memory of where I came from, to my closeness with God. As a small child I "knew" things that it seemed other people only wondered about, or were never even aware of. In retrospect, remembering my childhood and the feelings and experiences that I had, it's all very clear to me now what I was feeling then, and why... I am a Psychic Medium.

 

I have been very fortunate that I have never felt confused or ashamed by what I felt or experienced; I never have felt like I had to deny my true self by ignoring my abilities. Because of this, I have known, learned from and loved, many great spiritual teachers along the way. I have honored my abilities and my "knowing", which have blossomed over time, by trusting them and my life's journey. I consistently choose my spiritual path, over the illusion that is laid out before me. I treasure and celebrate my gifts, and remembering that they come from my oneness to God, I can not forsake the opportunity to help others.

You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body. -C.S. Lewis

My experiences began as an adolescent at our family cabin in Estes Park, Colorado. To start with, Estes Park, for any of you who are unfamiliar with it, is a very powerful place, with a strong energy bond to spirit. My great, great, grandfather built a family cabin there in 1908, which has been loved and used generation after generation. Now that many of our loved ones have passed on to the other side, they are still a strong, guiding, loving force for us there. It is where I was brought to the conscious realization about my gift as a Psychic Medium. I did go through a period when I had to learn how to not absorb energy all the time from anyone or anything. I had to effectively learn when to use it and how, and when to shield myself from outside forces that, for me, was/is the greatest balancing act.

 

As a child in the fourth grade, I wrote a poem that would be very telling to my life's calling. It was called "The Leaf That Wouldn't Fall," about the experience of dying, and passing to The Other Side (I'm trying to find it now to post here). Then, in high school, I was one of the "strange" kids who did a presentation on Death and Dying byPsychic Medium - The experience of dying and passing to the other side Elisabeth Kubler Ross (that was in the 80's, before the topic of death and dying were as openly acknowledged as they are today). I then went on to work in the health care field for the next 20 years, working with the elderly, my favorite work being Hospice care. I felt that so many people come into this world in joy, and leave it in a state of fear. That is simply not the way it should be. I knew that because of my connection to spirit, I could be with people as they were preparing to pass to The Other Side, to help make that passage full of love, and not fear, by helping them and their families to embrace the experience, to know that it wasn't an ending, but the most beautiful of beginnings. This knowledge does not discount the pain of losing a loved one (I know from my own personal losses), but it does provide hope and consolation.

 

As a Hospice volunteer, I worked with those in bereavement, and on all other levels of care. I have also worked as a 911 dispatcher, so I have experience with all stages of tragedy and loss from the family's perspective. In addition to my own personality, these experiences have given me the ability to compassionately communicate with, and help those in emotional distress. It is because of these experiences with the elderly and the dying, as well as my support of, and connection to their families, that I am able to offer a unique perspective as a Psychic Medium regarding death, the grieving process, and those who have been left behind, enabling me to provide a calming reading, even if you are in a great deal of pain.

 

I live in Colorado with my husband, son and many pets. I enjoy the outdoors, kids, bike riding, nature, animals, music, cooking, laughing, ethnic dining, photography, watercolor painting, alternative healing, antiques, gardening, writing poetry, reading, art, and trying new things with my family.
