I have always been tuned into the depths. I have always been in touch with intuitive ability as well, though for some years I was acting on conditioning to be more intellectual. My, how freeing it was, to finally embrace the emotive and intuitive side again. My ability came back to the surface as well.
I also have traits associated with the Highly Sensitive Person. It has been quite challenging to own, accept, work with, and master this trait with awareness. I have come a long way, in finally seeing it for the gift it is. I believe my conscious intuitive ability is associated with this gift in some way.
In my teen years I experienced an initiation into transpersonal work – though at the time I did not realize what was happening. I was diagnosed as mentally ill, but as soon as I accepted a spiritual calling the symptoms disappeared. I even quit several psychiatric medications cold turkey, and there were no adverse effects. (Note that I am not recommending that approach to others.)
With first-hand experience of “spiritual emergence” or “spiritual emergency,” and with a background in mainstream psychology, I have enjoyed opportunities to support others who wondered whether they are crazy.
My life experience has involved a great deal of healing and growth, fostering resilience through overcoming adversity – and I apply some of the tools that worked for me in my work with others, when Source guides me to do so.
I have always had a passion for service, even more so as I helped myself in my own growth. I tried teaching and professional counseling, and those options were rewarding – but one day after I’d gotten amazing results through offering intuitive readings to others, I realized this is the path for me. I feel confident this is my purpose, I feel it deep in my bones.
There is not currently room for intuitive work in most clinical settings. Though I have had success in clinical settings, I noticed a kind of wilting effect inside, the longer I stayed there. I will enjoy seeing the culture open up, to allow room for this gentle depth, instead of pathologizing it.
I’ve had many people say, “Wow, how did you know that?” Or tell me that I was able to bring forward something that no other sensitive could reach. They act on that knowledge and end up feeling more joy and balance in their life. I fail to see the pathology in that.
I combine the best points of the material and the etheric when I work with others, but I’m really just a facilitator and a mirror. I share what comes through from your unconscious mind and expanded self (inner, truest self; sometimes called the soul). Sometimes other etheric beings come through too.
I currently live in the state of Mississippi with my fabulous four-legged son, a terrier named Marley. Truly, I feel more like a citizen of the world, or the cosmos.
If you have any questions about my background as it relates to intuitive work, feel free to contact me.
