Bio:
Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little more about me. I am honoured that you are here, and share sweet blessings to you and your beloveds. I share my gifts of creativity and spiritual communications to assist us in collaborating on impactful changes that may ripple beyond us into our worlds. I have been blessed with gifts of sight, sound, and energetic communications with those of the spirit world, be they ancestral guides, soul guardians, or spirit protectors that have committed to supporting you in your life. These gifts have woven their way through the tapestry of my life experiences, and I embark on sharing of these connections that assist us and can so impact our life’s cycles of healing and growth.

I grew up in a household full of artistic expression, meditation, and music. I am a joyous learner, and poured through numerous books and practices that shared of concepts and understandings of life, energy and consciousness with great tenacity. These studies and home practices led to me furthering my practices and understandings, first within the many branches and tenets of yoga, which I taught for 16 years. This progressed into my work with Reiki, which I then trained in, and continued to teach and attune people to for 13 years.

During these times, art was my grounded and deeply private process, where I explored as I further remembered and honed my gifts of spiritual mediumship. By 2018 I went online, sharing mentorship and spiritual guidance services to those that I met along my travels and journeys through many lands during my quest of fully comprehending my identity and agreements carried for this life of mine. I am honoured to now share what has accumulated from these processes over the decades of self discovery, healing and growth, and look forward to supporting you in your communications with those that love you, guard and guide you, amidst the many movements around us, within us, and beyond us. What spirit has taught me, and reminded me of, time and time again, is that we have the ability to collaborate with them, and to co-create an impactful life that centers and stems from our joy, which then can bloom and grow, over time, to support and nurture our communities and relations with our Earth, our body, and each other.

I also share heartfelt bows to Kathy Roseborough, who mentored me in my path of dance with the sacred dual energies, supporting me in accessing and trusting furthermore my connections to dear ascended teachers of harmony.

They helped me through some of the darkest days and years. I share love with the Angels and Los Animales, and the Ancient Ones that have protected my path, as i moved through the shadows, traumas, and tribulations of my learning ground of these past forty years. There was much to be rectified, many courses of action from past lifetimes and my bloodlines, that my soul agreed to support switching in this life. I share big hugs to Paco, my beloved familiar, dog, helper, and teacher.

I am currently settled on these lands, and it is with great respect & honour that i acknowledge the Territory of the Anishinabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations. Giving deep gratitude to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, known collectively as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land. I endeavour in my time here to continue to learn of these amazing ecosystems, as well as tend to, and care for the land and its waters.

I enjoy gardening, painting, communing with Spirit, dancing, singing, and expanding community connections and care. I share my time with the lands and nearby waters, as well as whom I choose to share space over times with. I give gratitude to the growing international & intergenerational circles that are gathering of humans, plants, stones, and animals, together on this Earth. As I make peace with who I am, care and love for who I continue to revolve into, I look forward to sharing connections with you, as well as remembering more of our shared magic this season!
