My Story
My story of intuition begins in a rather ordinary way. My intuitive abilities didn’t magically come online one day. They didn’t come about through a near-death experience or a sudden jolt of electricity. I wasn’t a kid who saw ghosts or had psychic visions. Instead, I developed my intuition through training, experience, a commitment to personal growth—and my natural tendency to listen and pay attention.
I’ve always been a person who paid attention. I have the ability to really focus (most of the time) on something. And intuition is about slowing down, quieting the mind, going within—and noticing. Listening also comes naturally to me. Perhaps a skill developed from my own shyness and fear of being seen. But perhaps more so from my curiosity about the lives of others. In the stories of others, I can for just a moment experience what they are experiencing and get a sense of their emotional and mental landscape. It helps me to understand them on a deeper level.
A mother whose interest in the spiritual realm exposed me to spiritual concepts beyond the borders of religion. Just as her own mother had. They had a deep need to understand and connect with that beyond the physical realm. So perhaps I inherited this gene too—which put me on the path of seeking, of wanting to know more about what lies beyond our everyday experiences. It is this seeking that led me to get in touch with my own intuition.
In my twenties and thirties, a longing to know more about myself and what life had in store for me led me to astrologers, psychics, and tarot card readers. I loved having access to this “secret” information. It gave me a different perspective about my life—a new way of seeing things and understanding where I was headed. One inspiring reading in 2008 steered me toward an intuitive training program, where I began to formally develop my intuitive abilities and learn how to read the invisible vibrations of energy that reflect a person’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
One class led to another and another, culminating in several years of intuitive training and practice giving readings. Some years later, I found Reiki and a two-year energy training program, where I further developed my ability to access people’s energy fields. This was followed by an intense two-year program in personal growth work.
Amid all of this training and growing, I also discovered breathwork, a modality that accelerated my own journey of self-discovery and healing. Called to share the power and beauty of breathwork with others, I completed two breathwork facilitation programs—one in 2021 and the other in 2022—and began offering breath workshops in 2022.
Learning the skills is one thing but believing in the magic of something more is another. I love all that can be seen with the physical eye—the sliver of the Olympic mountains’ snow-capped peaks outside my window, how the flamboyant blue bird searches for the carefully stashed peanut shell in my rose pot, and the way the firs and cedars stand tall, firmly rooted in the damp soil. These sights are all tremendously beautiful. But the beauty of the energetic realm calls to me too. How if you slow down and tune in to the energies beyond what the eyes can see, you can access deep and meaningful layers of information.
Connecting to those places within you is a reclaiming of sorts, a reclaiming of all the thoughts, feelings, and experiences that make you—well you. Some of them have been relegated to the background because they contain too much feeling, too much pain, too much responsibility. While others are simply misunderstood or unclear. But when you dare to look at what’s beneath the surface—when you connect to this information within your own energy field—you become more connected to who you really are and what you’re here to do. And what happens when all these parts meet one another? Your soul rejoices.
I’ve been harboring a vision of sharing this unseen realm with others for a long time now. My soul says it’s time. I’d be honored and delighted to work with you—whether intuitively or through breathwork—to help you connect with your personal power, ignite your sense of worthiness, and give you another way in which to know yourself—your most wonderous and magnificent self.

with self.
Transparency
All communication comes from a place of honesty and integrity and without hidden agendas or judgment.
Expansion
The goal of this work is to help you expand your self-awareness, activate your inner healer, and help you grow more fully into your highest self.
Truth
Being authentic and genuine in all interactions is paramount to building meaningful and trusting relationships.
