My Story
Who I am and Why you'd choose to work with me

  

   I am an intuitive, empathic, compassionate healer. I've worked in healing professions since I was young. Now that I am closer to death, my life has called me to offer my innate gifts and abilities to help people transcend fear as they transition from life to death. I bring all the rich and varied experiences of my lifetime into practice as a Death Doula, End of Life Educator and Funeral Celebrant.

​

     As a Psychic Medium and Intuitive Healer, I offer energy healing and insights into what happens when we die. After I had a near death experience, I understood death as part of life, part of a natural cycle, sacred. My ancestors were Scots-Irish and Native American. Some of them had "The Sight", were healers, midwives, mediums and death workers. These gifts have been handed down for generations in my family. I realized at a young age that I was "different".

 I felt the pain of other beings and was drawn to try and heal them. I could hear and see things other people did not.

​

     Hands on healing is part of my doula practice. I utilize many techniques learned over a long career as a massage therapist to heal the body, soothe the mind, ease the heart and when it's time, prepare the spirit to depart. Reiki, Cranio-sacral work, Lymphatic drainage, Somatic-emotional release provide comfort, support and safe, healing touch.

​

     The study of Emotional healing and Spiritual healing have been lifelong passions. As a former Social Worker and Life Coach, I've spent countless hours working on myself and learning to help others do the same. Working with Emotional processing, Meditation, Guided Imagery and Past Life work can be very beneficial. I bring in everything I've learned to relieve the suffering people experience in life and in the death process.

​

    The study of Spirituality is another of my lifelong passions. I study and practice in several traditions: Shamanic, Pagan, Celtic, Secular Humanist and Buddhist. I use this knowledge to help people find the spiritual path that resonates for them, to connect them to their natural and authentic spirituality. 

​

     Spiritual studies, emotional processing, teaching, leading workshops, public speaking inform my services as a Funeral Celebrant. I value creating an atmosphere of safety and peace for people to say goodbye and process their grief. As an Ordained Minister I offer ceremonies from Secular, Shamanic, Pagan, Buddhist traditions. As a musician I offer Drumming, singing, playing the Celtic harp to add to these experiences.

​

     I bring all of me, all of who I am into the experience of being fully present for another human being in the process of dying, death and after death.

    If I can be of benefit to my fellow beings, my life will be well lived and I will die in peace knowing I have used my abilities for good, for the deeper healing of humanity.
