I've been on my own spiritual journey my entire adult life, beginning with my desire to heal from experiences I endured as a young child. Venturing down the self-help path provided some comfort and healing, but it wasn't until I realized that the true path to love and peace was intentionally aligning with divine guidance did I start to truly heal.
I learned to trust my intuition early on and as I continued to get out of my own way and trust God, I've been able to intentionally connect to spirit. I've learned that I'm merely a channel to help others experience love, peace, and healing.
I've been using my intuition in my career as an educator for many, many years hiding for fear of judgment. But what I've learned is that stepping into my truth liberates others to do the same.
Moreover, I've learned that being in alignment with who we really are...LOVE, takes courage.

And courage is always available.
