The imperfections; the shortcomings I’d learned I’d need to work on long and hard as part of my spiritual path, to one day reach a state of true “attainment”…

All of that heavy efforting suddenly fell away, as I experienced the inherent goodness and wholeness of my own soul, and that of every living being on the planet. My very perception remained permanently altered, like someone had “turned on the lights” on the miraculous.

And while that was only the beginning of — I’m sure you can picture it — a very rough reintegration into daily life afterward, I knew I wanted to share what I’d gone through with others. I wanted the people around me to experience that deep level of healing, goodness, and rightness — especially the direct experiencing that, for me, had been key in re-orienting myself. All of this became the heart of my mission in supporting others.

I imagine how much our world would change if we knew intimately the part of us that always dwells in that realm of magic, possibility and searing love, whole and unbroken no matter what kind of life we’ve had. This part of us isn’t only wise and deeply creative: it’s plugged into the whole field of aliveness and possibility.

From these realizations, my lifelong love for all things psychic became an even stronger focus.

I believe our psychic abilities are the senses of the soul. As such, they give us the possibility of tuning into that essential, soul-level layer of reality at will— if we develop them. It is my hope that the connectedness and potential of our psychic capacities will become as accepted and mainstream as our ability to read and write!

Things weren’t easy after this portal into a magical existence opened in my life. Like countless other experiencers of Spiritually Transformative Experiences (also known as STEs, which include phenomena such as Near-death Experiences, Kundalini Awakening, paranormal events, psychedelic-induced experiences and other forms of spiritual transformation), reintegration into “normal” life was rocky at best.

The dissonance and friction of that period, however, drove me to seek out deeper healing as well as integration for my life-long experiences of Otherness, of being “weird” and “different”. After intensive personal and professional studies in the connected fields of high-ability (giftedness) and neurodivergence, I eventually became a coach to support others who’d struggled with disconnection and alienation as a result of the mismatch between their complex minds and neurology, and society’s “normal”. While this is no longer my primary focus as a coach, I continue to draw from this background and welcome clients for whom this is very much a part of their lived experience.
