MY STORY

I grew up in Yorkshire, England with a great passion for horses, dogs and most all animals. At about 8 years old I was a little entrepreneur and used to organize “Garden Parties” in my back yard about once a month. A Garden Party was a mixture of garage sale and mini fair. I would rally my friends and together we would go door to door for garage sale donation items and devise fun games for the local kids. All proceeds went to the RSPCA animal shelter. My forte was to dress up as Gypsy Rosalie and with my over the top earrings, jeweled throw and upside down fish bowl for a Chrystal ball, I would play fortune teller.

Years later I would bump into old acquaintances that would say, “Hey will you tell my fortune again, everything you told me came true”. At first I laughed and said “I was just dressing up and pretending. Everything that I told you, I just made up”. And at first I passed it off as coincidence. But after several friends had similar stories, each convinced I had predicted events, I had to believe maybe there was something to it.

I had always had an interest in psychic phenomenon but I took to teaching myself how to read palms, tarot cards and other divination arts. I started to realize that the messages I got were not rote from the book and that the same card seemed to give me different messages with different readings. Although this was still a hobby, I became quite a sort after reader in the UK.

Years later I came to the States pursing completely unrelated careers of the more business, down to earth nature. Meanwhile my auntie back in England had undergone a major life change and after years of study became a Reiki Master. Over several visits to the US my Aunt spent time teaching me the art of Reiki, until I was ordained a level 1 then level 11 Reiki practitioner. My Auntie warned me that this would open up a whole new realm to me and that things may start appearing to me (I must admit, this was quite a frightening thought).

This sure was true and shortly afterwards I had my first communication with one of my pets through a dream. But it was not to stop there and I started to experience, visions and thoughts and out of the ordinary experiences. As I practiced Reiki, I found that the client’s loved ones would often come through; prompting me to make suggestions or pass on messages to my client and often the client would validate the information. I pursued the Reiki arts giving healing sessions to not only to my clients but also started a new clientele of animal clients.

My real break through was when I attended a weekend seminar with world renowned British psychic Francesca Kimpton. Something amazing happened to me that weekend and I found in a room of complete strangers I was able to pass on detailed messages from their loved ones. It was if this ability had been there all along, that these spirits were just waiting outside, looking in patiently through the window. When I opened that door and said “come on in and to talk to me”, I had spirits lined up ready to chat, as clear as if I was standing next to you. It was then that I launched my career as a Psychic Medium.

Sometime after that and just by coincidence (as if there is such a thing,) I was at a crystal shop, where an extremely talented animal communicator Karen Anderson was giving a workshop. Curious, I decided to attend and to my surprise I found that animals came through to me just as easily as spirits and in exactly the same way! What was even more surprising to me was that I could communicate with them whether they were in spirit or alive. In fact it didn’t seem to make any difference; they came through my thoughts in exactly the same way.

From then on, I started incorporating animal communication into my work as a psychic and a healer and doing sessions specializing in animal communication as well. Sometimes I find that sessions overlap, with animals appearing in a psychic mediumship reading and spirits coming through in a tarot card career spread or a Reiki healing. So I always plan to do the type of reading that the client is looking to have but I have come to let the spirits guide me to what the client needs and to share whatever healing and whatever messages are meant to come through.
