Some people read about intuition. I rebuilt my entire life by trusting it.
For years I followed a very different path. I was focused on what I could see, touch, and measure. Spirit wasn’t part of the plan.
Then, more than 30 years ago, everything changed.
What I experienced didn’t yet have a name. Today, they would be called Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs)—a months‑long, profound opening that shifted the course of my life. I moved from serving my country to serving Spirit, and the change was permanent.
As I learned to turn inward, I began to sense clear, distinct energy patterns—unseen teachers whose presence carried a steady, familiar “signature.” They offered simple, powerful principles that still guide my choices. The more I listened, the stronger the connection became. A living relationship with Higher Consciousness was born.
That’s when I discovered the power of choice.
We can choose the safe, the familiar, the life that makes sense on paper.
Or we can follow the whisper of the soul.
I chose the Voice within. I have never looked back.
As my own journey deepened, people began asking for help:
~ How do I trust my intuition?
~ What do I do with these experiences?
~ How do I know what’s real?
I realized my next calling was to share what I’d learned and walk beside others as they awakened to their own guidance.
I believe intuition is not a rare gift; it is a natural capacity we all share. My work is to normalize it, ground it, and make it usable in daily life—so you can make clearer decisions, navigate change with more peace, and feel supported by something greater than yourself.
With practice, anyone can learn to recognize and trust their inner wisdom. I’m living proof of where that path can lead, and I can show you how to begin—or how to go deeper.
In 2008, I founded the Academy for the Intuitive Arts to offer a practical, spiritually rooted approach to intuitive training and development.
Whether you seek personal guidance, healing after loss, or a trusted mentor to help refine your own gifts, there is a place for you here.
The way Home is always inward.
When you’re ready to listen to the part of you that already knows who you are and why you are here, I’m here to walk that path with you.
To have it the way you want it, you must give up the way it is. ~ Spirit
