Who am I?

My interest in metaphysics and spirituality started when I was a young child. I experienced the world and all her wonders as being alive; To me every rock, tree, stream, ocean, mountain, the wind, the thunder, the lightening, every insect, animal all had a spirit that could be felt and interacted with. By the time I started formal education well meaning adults often commented on my “lively” imagination but also started to show displeasure at my insistence that everything on the earth including her soil was alive and spirited.

I was a very precocious child with strong opinions that I had no problem voicing.  By the time I was ten I had discovered a variety of tarot decks; however instead of learning their meanings from the books that came with the cards I just looked at the pictures and found that each card told their own story.  The cards took on a life of their own and all my life they have provided me with ever changing meaning each time I read them.  They too had a spirit of their own that over time I developed an intimacy with; the spirits of each card always have something new to say.

Growing up in the 1960’s had its own set of challenges.  Many times I did not make the best decisions when it came to life style, especially the years I spent cocooned in a psychedelic haze.  Yet during this time I did not loose my connection to spirit.  Often times a tarot reading was my ticket to a meal and for this I am forever grateful.

Over my mid-life years I went back to university, worked in finance, married, gave birth to twins, and then divorced. It was after my divorce that I went back to University earning two Masters Degrees after which I started working in Spiritual Health. I have spent the last 30 years updating my skills in a variety of counselling modalities, including theraputic hypnotherapy, while serving in a variety of medical hospitals providing spiritual care and counseling to staff, patients and their families.  End of Life care was my calling, working with cancer patients, working with both ends of our life time - seniors in long term care and tiny neonates struggling to survive one breath at a time.  In addition to my work in hospitals, I found myself offering support to the most vulnerable in our society; those without safe housing, those struggling with addictions and mental health challenges – this, in a nut shell, has been the focus of my career path these past 30 years.

And through all that life has shared with me, I have learned that the spirit that animates all living things is just as real and powerful today as when I first heard her song as a child.  Most recently I have completed certification in the Buddhist psychological and spiritual practice Feeding Your Demons. This gentle, but powerful, practice outlines a strategy for transforming negative emotions, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationships issues, fears, illness, self-hatred, addiction, anger exploring any self-defeating pattern affecting our lives.

For others, hypnotherapy allows us to access the blocks in our subconscious that at times can paralyzes our lives. Bridging the subconscious and the conscious mind allows us to discover who we really are - unleashing a creative potential that will transform our every day life. The Tarot, is another tool to work with the subconscious mind; it has been a constant for me my whole life; the Tarot is a mirror of our sub-conscious.  If we are willing to sit with the cards there is an opportunity to explore our own subconscious mind and participate in the creation of our future path.  For me the Tarot isn’t about predicting the future in some magical mist outside time and space.  Instead I believe the Tarot brings to our conscious mind the hidden longings of the subconscious mind to manifest and create our own future.  Feeding Your Demons practice, Tarot and Therapeutic Hypnosis both are useful tools to unlock the blocks all of us have that stop us from living all the possibilities that life has to offer. Instead of building and maintaining our own self limiting ceilings out of fears of judgment from others, not believing we are good enough or simply fear of failure accessing these spiritual tools open space for us to envision opportunities. The Tarot cards you choose give you a snapshot into your own vision of the future that will give meaning and purpose to your life.  My role is to companion, to coach and empower you on unfurling your own destiny – to mentor, to walk along side you, challenging you to dare to dream beyond your current life limiting beliefs.
