My Story

It begins as a little girl, growing up in the suburbs not far from Toronto, Ontario. I was always a sensitive, young girl. Looking back now, I realize how much I picked up, absorbed and noticed from a very young age. I could sense energy shifts the moment I walked into a room, I could tell when people had just been arguing and there were certain places I was “afraid of” in the house because I could feel Spirit and energetic imprints. This all led to an intense fear of the dark because even though I couldn’t “see” Spirit, I certainly felt it and I didn’t understand what was happening. For many years, I suppressed this, which led me to be a fairly anxious child, but one that hid the anxiety well. I had lots of friends, but internally often felt alone, scared and “different.” This theme followed me for much of my early life.

 

My entire life, adults much older would often tell me I was “wise beyond my years.” I often just knew the words to say to others to make them feel better and I never knew where this came from. I was also never really afraid of death or holding space for those that were grieving. Even when young, random adults would talk to me about those they loved that passed away, and we would have long conversations about it. It was never uncomfortable for me to have those conversations.

 

I always thought this was “normal", until University when my Great Grandpa died. He was in his 90’s and it was expected but it was a death that shifted something in me. I had visited him in the hospice to say goodbye. I knew others that were not comfortable with seeing him in his departing state, but I always felt I wouldn’t want to be alone in those moments.

 

Before he passed, I wasn’t spiritual at all. If you had asked me then where you go to talk to someone after they die, I would have told you their gravesite. It was actually at his gravesite that, for whatever reason, I said to him “visit me in my dreams." A few months later I experienced my first visitation dream. This propelled me into my first awakening and I started diving deeper into the spirit world; talking to him out loud, asking for signs and seeing that they would happen when I asked. I knew then that Spirit was always with me no matter where I went. It was his loss that triggered everything for me, and also made me realize that not everyone was as comfortable as I was talking about death and loss. 

 

After his passing, I continued to attend University to complete my BA. At this point, my anxiety was at an all time high and I took medication in order to cope with daily stresses and the pressure of completing my degree. It was also while working through my BA that I experienced a traumatic event that would lead me down another awakening. This time, I learned that I was the creator of my reality and that, with hard work and looking at my own shadows, I had the power to shift what I wanted. For me, this was the catalyst to dive into learning about other ways to manage my anxiety off of medication, which I dedicated many of my following years to. Today, I would actually no longer describe myself as an anxious person. In terms of mental health, I can understand both avenues; how medication can be very supportive and is sometimes necessary, and how depending on the circumstance and methods available, it can also be managed off of medication. 

 

Years passed and I ended up attending another University and completing my BEd to become an elementary school teacher. I met my soulmate (a story for another day), and we moved to England together for 2 years. I taught there, we traveled, he had a job. We eventually moved back, bought a house, got jobs, and got married. Did all the “normal things” in life. I got teaching jobs fairly easily when we returned. While I do love teaching and have a passion and soft spot for working with children, something never sat right. Things kept coming easily though, so I just kept moving along.

 

In 2020, I started deep diving into more spiritual courses. Each time, I just had a “feeling” to sign up, so I did. I completed a mediumship course, Akashic Records course, and a few others. I don’t feel these are my gifts but each one, just like a puzzle piece, has led me exactly to where I am today. In so many of the courses, I found other teachers, friends and healers that would lead me down different paths, all of them interconnected.

 

I believe that there are just times that life/universe/God/whatever you believe in, literally smacks you in the face and you just KNOW life is going to change. I was pregnant with our first child, still teaching, and a series of events at work led me to have my “dark night of the soul.” It occurred at the end of the teaching year, about 2 months before giving birth. These events led me to deeply know that my life was dramatically shifting before my eyes. I felt my career would start to shift, all while I was about to become a mother. The following year was extremely challenging for me, but deep down I knew that everything would eventually be okay. 

 

My eldest son shifted everything for me on so many levels. A little while after his arrival, I completed my training and received my level 1 & 2 reiki certification. Once again, one day I had a feeling I needed to sign up, so I did. I practiced for over a year on friends and family, including my son, and saw so many benefits. I ended up going back from maternity leave to teaching, and practicing on the side.

 

While pregnant with our second child, I decided to launch my practice by donation with zero expectations and some self doubt too! However, thanks to so many that booked, shared and also believed in me, my donation based booking took off. After his arrival, I continued to deep dive into my learning and completed my Reiki Master certification. Which leads me to now. 

 

If you are still here, reading, THANK YOU! Thank you so much for being here and for being open to taking the steps towards healing yourself. I believe healing is an ongoing process and that so much healing can come not only through energetic work but also through conversation. It is my hope in being vulnerable here, that a piece of this resonates with you, maybe makes you feel less alone, and hopefully brings some peace to your heart.

 

Most importantly, your energy, your words and your time matters to me. I will never take it for granted and I am SO grateful that while this path has been hard, it has led me here.

 

I can’t wait to meet you and learn about your story. <3
