I grew up on a primitive dairy farm in rural upstate New York, close to the Vermont border. I was a sensitive child, shy and embarassed by the visions I received during early childhood. I had a deep connection with the land and the animals. I always felt a "knowing" about people, animals and the Earth. My intuition was very clear. I didn't know what it was but I could feel others pain in my body. I was ashamed of my dubious "gift" and therefore blocked the feelings for many years. I dreamed of becoming a vet but life took me on another path.
I married, moved to Vermont, had four children, raised and trained horses and painted. I had always been interested in healing the farm animals especially the horses. Having four children to rear required the honing of my healing skills. Even though I had drawn and painted as a young girl, it wasn’t until I was a young mother that I began to paint in earnest as a means of relaxation.
I have been a member of many galleries throughout my forty-five year art career more recently in New Bern, NC and Beaufort, NC. I also belonged to the Chaffee Gallery, Rutland, Vermont and the Southern Vermont Art Center, Manchester, Vermont. My paintings are in homes throughout the US as well as in a Vermont bank and Castleton State College in Castleton, VT. After raising the children, I received a BA degree in fine art and began teaching private groups as well as children for many years.
But in 1992, I began a spiritual awakening. I began to accept my awareness and my "gifts" of clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentinence. I was led to studying with Mary Shiber in Equissage in NC. It was through the Equine Sports Massage training that I became aware of the subtle energy bodies of all beings. Eventually, my increased awareness carried me to the Polarity Realization Institute in Ipswich, MA and Portland,ME. In three years I completed the advanced Polarity program as designated by the American Polarity Therapy Association and opened a practice in VT. During this time, I also studied Cranio-Sacral therapy with two well-known teachers, Scott Zamurut, RPP and Roger Gilchrist, RPP. After moving to North Carolina in 1997, I left my practice in VT and reopened it in NC.
The NC chapter of my life brought me closer to my Native American roots as I became involved in Native American ceremonial rituals and teachings that were available in the area. But I grew weary of the watery/windy challenges that living on Coastal North Carolina presented and allowed the wind of spirit to blow me to the piedmont of Virginia in 2001. I promptly put down roots amidst the rocks, the clay and the hills.
In 2002 during meditation, Grandmother Guide, came to me and said, “She would teach me a new way to heal others.” Two days later, I found myself enrolled in Lori Wilson’s Medical Intuition program in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Lori was once a colleague of Carolyn Myss, Ph.D. Dr. Myss is considered the first professional Medical Intuitive and has written several books as well as lecturing world-wide. My openness to channel the Higher Energies has always been part of my life but integrating the anatomy and physiology of the body into a reading was new and exciting to me. Rather than just reading the Energy Field, I was listening to the human body speak. I had opened a whole new dimension to channeling. My healing sessions have expanded with the the Medical Intuitive program.
Another call from the Great Spirit within led me to sell my home, buy a motor coach and embark on the life of a roaming healer/storyteller. In addition to the work I love, I serve a dog (God spelled backward) named Sebastian. With Sebastian as my co-pilot and spiritual Guide Dog, we travel the eastern USA. Photographing and blogging this gypsy-like journey has been a vital part of the journey. Four years have passed and nearly 60,000 miles. There has been little doubt that I was on the right track. But I knew that in 2008, I would be settling somewhere in the mountains. The thought has manifested into reality and I have a small cottage in upstate New York. This home will now be my base for my M.O.V.E. (Magic of vibrational energy) work.
I have the pleasure of being not only a mother of four children but grandmother to fourteen. Besides being closer to most of my family, my mission in New York is to create a sacred place not just for myself but for all those who visit. A place of the Highest possible vibrational energy where those in need can receive Distance Healing sessions from wherever they are on the planet or off.
In addition to my healing work, I enjoy gardening, biking, writing and kayaking; these are special activities that allow me to connect deeply in the energy of Mother Earth.
