My work is heart centered and my practice is to welcome everyone through a lens of unconditional love. I am an intuitive healing channel and Reiki Master, immersed in practice and training for over four decades. As a teenager, I was trained by Alma Bell in Toronto who in her eighties, was still teaching master meditation and healing. I went on to further studies and certifications in energy healing, meditation, mediumship, past life Akashic field, Yoga, breathwork and Reiki. Within sessions, I receive impressions and information about the condition of my clients.  I often feel my clients’ physical conditions within my own body and can connect to the energetic roots of that condition. Clear intuition is present regarding how the aura is presenting, which chakras are involved and the spiritual, emotional and mental aspects contributing to the state of imbalance. I use complex energetic communication to gain exacting insight regarding clients’ personal and ancestral karma. This work is energetically translated to provoke the necessary shift in consciousness to help facilitate the client’s awakening.My ongoing work includes clients managing multiple sclerosis, endometriosis, addiction, anxiety and depression, bipolar imbalance, fertility and reproductive issues, grief and loss management, trauma recovery and narcissistic abuse.

I also see clients who are looking to resolve a level of dissatisfaction with their life or lack of personal empowerment. Clients leave feeling truly seen and honored; for some, for the first time in their lives.

We are all vibrating beings, and vibration is all around us.

My personal journey started when I had my Spiritual awakening in 2016. It led me to pursue my Yoga Teacher training in Bali Indonesia, which was the start of my teaching path. From there I followed the call of my Soul and started to live my life solely guided by my intuition. This led me to Sound Alchemy as my next deep dive into healing. I took several years to explore this modality with my mentors and teachers and began implementing it into my practice and classes.

As I continued to stay committed to my path of healing, The Divine guided me to completely unbind from everything I had been taught growing up. I was being shown the areas in my life that needed complete dismantling, in order to work through the deeply embedded beliefs and systems in my life that were not in alignment with my truth.

My journey had asked me to uproot from Canada to go live in Costa Rica. It is here that I received the most profound medicine, of discovering my Divine Feminine essence. Living in Costa Rica and my travels to Colombia have directed me to the teachers and elders who I needed most for my own unique healing. From my own healing I have been given the teachings from Source to guide others to dive deeper into energy medicine, somatic Breathwork, ceremonial space, plant medicine and sacred circle.

The essence of my teaching is anchored in 2 main truths that I have learned are instrumental to the path of self mastery:

1- Incorporating enriching and profound energetic rituals into our daily lives, to keep our vessel pure and our channel activated and online.

2- Unlocking the wisdom of The Divine Feminine essence and allowing her to guide you. Giving her access to soften the Divine Masculine energy and to bridge and balance the 2 into harmonious union.

My craft weaves together a variety of spiritual perspectives and energy practices, with personal intuitive insight, deep knowledge and embodied experiences drawn from my own practice and integration.
