I lost a part of me that was scared of death when I was 10. My great-grandmother died while I was sleeping. That morning, I started to wake, I could feel the sun on my face and in my heart, a knowing that my grandmother had passed away. I couldn’t understand then how I knew, I just did.

I guess after hearing stories of how I talked to my dead great-grandfather in the cemetery as a young child and the experience of loosing my great-grandmother, I knew I had a connection to Spirit, but as most of us often do, I feared the unknown. For years to follow I built walls to suppress my intuition and my connection to the realms beyond what I could physically see and explain. However, Spirit persisted. I would continue to have premonitions and just a sense of knowing things. It was all about divine timing and my timing wouldn’t be right till I was older.

Growing up, I searched for validation, love and acceptance by many. I was someone who never fit in, but always stood out. As an adult, I relish in the fact that I am a black sheep, a misfit. I was lucky to find my husband, a fellow black sheep and misfit, who supports me in everyday shenanigans and loves me to my core. When I married my husband, I gained a sister-in-law, Carrie, who was unapologetically unique and who would become the reason I found myself, who I truly am.

Carrie was a warrior. She fought cancer for so long that I almost can’t remember a time when she wasn’t fighting. I remember the day I found out she was going into end of life care. That is when the visions started. During the following weeks, Carrie and I would experience a series of shared consciousness events that couldn’t be explained. When she passed, I felt her visit my bedside and as I woke up that morning I had a knowing she was gone. An all to familiar feeling.

Carrie would lead me on my journey from behind the veil. I sought out a medium at a Psychic Fair to help me connect with Carrie. From this, I met my mentor, Shiv, who would be my guide in the physical realm while Carrie guided me in Spirit. However, now they both guide me from Spirit and I credit them for showing me the path to becoming who I came here to be and helping me accept that we all have the gift to connect to Spirit’s energy as long as we learn to let go of the fear that binds us to the physical world. To embrace the magic that we carry in our souls.

Today, I stand proudly as an intuitive medium who acts as a channel to connect others to Spirit’s energy and bring forward messages that help guide them on their journeys and often times bring them peace as they manage grief from their own losses. I am trained and certified in the art of Reiki and hold a license as a Holistic Provider from the Professional Wellness Alliance. I work with my member clients to educate and empower them to take charge of their own spiritual practices with focus on self care for the body, mind and spirit.

I am an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church and earned my certification as a Death Doula from IAP Career College. In addition, I am a member of the International Association of Professional End-of-Life Doulas. I work with my clients to take the fear out of death and dying and provide support to their families.

Currently, I am in the Mesa Shamanic Practitioner Apprenticeship at The Chacana Spiritual Center. This is a 2 year journey into the path of the Peruvian (Inca) Q’ero shaman lineage and medicine wheel. Learning the techniques of shamanism is a calling to act as a bridge between the physical and spirit worlds for healing, divination, and spiritual guidance. The transformative journey begins as I recieve Munay-Ki, the 9 sacred rites of Shamanism. It is a powerful and beautiful journey that I can’t wait to share with you all.

This is what I was born to do and it is a privilege to be apart of your story as all of you are apart of mine.

To all the black sheeps, misfits and unapologetically unique souls out there that found me, welcome to The Modern Oracle!
