  I was five years old when I had my first experience of listening to my intuition. My mom told me she had cancer and I immediately knew that I wasn't going to have her for very long. I made a conscious effort to soak up every second I could with her. It was ten years later when she passed, I was fifteen years old, and in witnessing her passing away, I noticed something significant. Though her body was there, SHE wasn't. I wondered, "Where did she go? She isn't here." This began my journey towards connecting with the other side.

​

  I went through the motions of school (truly guided by intuition because I NEVER studied), graduated from Wheelock College, and felt so lost. I "did all the right things" yet felt I hadn't found my calling. I knew I wanted to help people, but traditional methods didn't feel quite right. I had a degree in Child Life Specialty, I started nursing pre-recs, considered traditional therapy. None of which truly felt like a YES for me.

​

  I had external pressure to "find a real job." At the time, I was working for a family, taking care of the home, their pets and the kids. It was the most fulfilling role I had since caring for my mom through her sickness. One day, the mother of the family said, "Have you ever tried Reiki? It's a lovely healing technique." I hadn't even heard of it, never mind actually tried it! She gifted me my first session and I was hooked.

​

  I felt such a weight lifted, a weight I didn't even know existed. From there, I pursued training in Reiki and became a Reiki Master Teach, which simply means I can train others to do Reiki and teach if they're so inclined. I did self-healing work constantly, eager for the "end of the road" to healing. In my process, I discovered that healing happens in phases. A big chunk gets cleared up, you have a time of rest, then something else arises. It's no longer a race, but a dance. When something reveals a need for healing and support, I give it. When nothing is present, I enjoy being a human being on the planet. 

​

  What makes me qualified to help all walks of life is that I have had a ton of experience, but certainly not everything under the sun. However, my psychic abilities allow me to stand in the shoes of the person I am speaking to. I can get a clear sense of your path, your weaknesses and strengths alike. I see the high road, the middle road and the low road. Neither being good or bad, just choices one can take. I see each individual with an immense amount of clarity and care. I know how deeply one can struggle to be seen, heard and understood, and seeing you is a gift I have.

​

  For much of my life, I tried to pretend I was something that I wasn't and this work has changed everything for me. It has shown me how perfectly made each individual is, for their family, for their co-workers, for their pets. I believe we have all been placed here to fulfill certain roles and deal with specific lessons. My work isn't about clearing that away, but to guide you through your journey. Doing life alone is simply not how we are wired. I am a guide, a mentor, a friend, and colleague. If my words resonate with you, then I welcome you to the Reach Your Happy family. Your insecurities, fears, and "flaws" are welcomed here. It is safe to be yourself and with this work, I know you will find this truth within yourself in time.
