Like many, I once felt trapped in a cycle of striving and searching. I had a great career and a life full of new adventures, from promotions to cross-country moves. Yet, despite everything, I couldn’t escape the emptiness I felt within. My search for true fulfillment led me to Tarot—a tool I’d never explored before but felt deeply called to try. One day over ten years ago, I enrolled in a one-day Tarot workshop, expecting nothing more than a fun experience. Instead, it became a pivotal moment.

When I sat down with another participant to do a reading, I began telling her a story from the cards, weaving details that I thought were imaginary. But to my surprise, everything I shared resonated with her down to the smallest detail. She confirmed my reading with just one correction: the necklace I’d described was a birthday gift, not an anniversary gift. I was stunned—I had just accessed an intuitive skill I didn’t know I had.

Encouraged by this experience, I dove deeper into Tarot, developing my skills and building confidence. But life had even more unexpected turns for me. Shortly after that workshop, I had my first channeling experience. It happened during a practice group organized by my Tarot mentor, June, where I was the only attendee—a rare occurrence. As I began a reading, I felt an intense sensation at the back of my neck, almost as if I was being lifted. I became an open vessel, and words started pouring out, words that weren’t mine. When I returned to myself, June told me I had channeled and introduced me to a whole new world.

June became a key mentor as I explored and strengthened my channeling ability. Together, we met regularly, and I immersed myself in classes to understand this newfound gift. Over time, other guides entered my life, and one in particular—a figure in a dark cloak with gnarled fingers, who reminded me of a monk—stood out. I sensed he had wisdom for me, but I didn’t fully understand our connection. A friend suggested he might be a Druid, and that insight unlocked memories of past lives I’d spent in Druid communities, dedicated to earth connection and ancient wisdom.

I was amazed. In past lives, I had walked the earth as a healer and wise woman in these close-knit communities, learning the sacred ways of the land. I now realized that this Druid guide, who came to me with messages of creativity and alignment, was here to help me remember and live those truths again in this life. I embraced his guidance, diving deeper into channeling and integrating those teachings.

Alongside channeling, I became a Certified Jikiden Reiki Practitioner, learning healing practices grounded in tradition and aligned with the natural rhythms of life. This training from the Jikiden Reiki Association in Kyoto, Japan, brought me to a profound understanding of energy and emotional healing, expanding my work beyond just intuition to physical and emotional realms.

Today, I support others in navigating their life paths, just as I once sought for myself. I guide them through inner introspection, healing, and the discovery of their life purpose. The road hasn’t been easy, but it’s been a transformative journey—one I am deeply grateful to walk.
