There are no coincidences in this life.  We are all perfectly placed where we have agreed to be.  You found me – found here for a reason.  Thank you.

I am, like you are, a complex and yet simple being bound by a life I am learning: joyfully, tearfully, in awe and humility – grateful for it all.

I was born in upstate New York over a half a century ago to a family of seers.  What does that mean? It means I was never taught to shut down or ignore my connection to Creator.  My life has been a lesson in connections – in learning to understand the language of the Divine and people.   My maternal great-grandfather was a psychic who worked with the local police department solving crimes.  My paternal great grandmother was part of the Blavatsky movement.  She was a woman unafraid of being ostracized by patriarchal belief systems.  She spoke to the spirits and danced between the realms.  My grandparents had a deep connection to the earth and their every movement on the earth was a living prayer.  They were my first plant medicine teachers.  My parents taught me to listen to the earth and her signs, to honor the dream-time and to trust my visions and feelings.   People often ask my ethnicity and I am of Irish, French, Cornish, Native American and North African descent.  I feel and honor my ancestors’ wisdom flowing through my veins and it manifests in the places and ways I connect to Creator.

I cannot remember a time when I did not feel, see or sense energies in places and people.  We left the United States when I was three and I spent my childhood abroad: Hong Kong, Japan, Australia and Brazil.  My parents believed God was too personal of a relationship to bind us to one religion.  We stayed with Indigenous people in the Amazon and Australia witnessing and experiencing their beauty.  We spent time in temples, mosques, churches and stupas.  We witnessed and participated in many Eastern religious, Indigenous and Macumba ceremonies.  We prayed with anyone and everyone and we spent a great deal of time in nature – with the Great Mother.

As an adult, I formally studied religion focusing on the non-traditional and mystical paths.  I have always believed that if you understand the way a person or a community prays and sees the Divine, then you can understand that person or community.  Our connection and perspective of Creator is our most personal relationship.  In 1990, I was introduced to the tarot.  I fell instantly and madly in love with the language of symbols.  I believe the ways Creator communicates with us are limitless.  We all have our own way – our own language with the Divine.  Tarot is a language I understand.  In 1997, I experienced an event that forced me to acknowledge my visions, dreams and  the knowing they brought with them.  Some things are not meant to be silenced.   It forever shifted me and within a few months of the event, I was gifted my first formal, spiritual teacher.  Since that time, I have been truly and deeply blessed with some incredible, wise, loving and gifted teachers who I now call my friends.  They are my soul clan.   My prayer with any ceremony or teaching is to deepen my connection/understanding with Creator and to become unconditional love.  I think regardless of one’s path Creator/God/Great Spirit is Love – Unconditional Love.

I am gainfully employed in a professional field I love and within that realm, strive to bring justice and light to those I encounter.   I also volunteer with women (refugees) who have suffered and who are some of the most incredible, resilient humans I have ever known.  I started "As Above So Below Tarot" in 2011 but, have grown so much in the past six years that, I feel the time has come to formally expand the sharing of the beautiful teachings I have been gifted and permitted to share with others.  I do this spiritual work because I love it . . . because I love people . . . because I love sitting in the center of Spirit.

I strive to do everything in life from a place of Love.  I am bound to share both Love and Truth.  And Love like Truth isn’t always easy.   Very few walk through the world scarless but, as Chris Cleave said, "A scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think.  We must see all scars as beauty. Because  a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived.”  People typically seek sessions in times of stress and I hope by spending time with me and with Spirit, they remember they are strong holy beings. My prayer is always that all that I do is for the highest good of humanity.  What I see or hear or sense is not me nor does it make me “special” – I am but, a hollowed bone channeling the Divine -praying for grace and seeking always Love.

All ways always Love.
