How Did I Get Here? Part 6

Butterfly going through metamorphosis.

As my practice continued to grow and I continued to put myself out in the community, I found myself needing to have my own office and no longer share with the massage therapist.

It was a Wednesday morning, I was meditating and conversing with spirit. I desired to have my own office and I asked for a space that had a waiting area, a little alcove to possibly do medium readings and the main room for reiki healing. I had a client that afternoon and when she arrived, she told me she rented an office on the second floor of the building and she was looking to get out of her lease because she was moving to a larger space in another part of town. Guess what? It was exactly as I had visioned it that morning! Can you say amazed!? I was in awe and just a bit scared.  You’d think by now my fear would have stopped showing up so much but nope, it felt the need to try and protect me. Thank you for always being consistent fear! (insert chuckle here)

I signed the lease after much inner conflict and moved in November 2017. The inner conflict was can I do this, can I financially support this office, what if no one comes for sessions? It was my faith and conversations with spirit that assured me I could do this. I would move two more times in this same building over the years, expanding and trying new things. The office I am currently in was also divinely guided and this December it will be three years in this space.

I’ve been on television a couple of times, in the newspaper, in a local magazine, on two different podcasts, I’ve been published in The Edge, I’ve spoken at brown bag lunches, at a chiropractic office promoting monthly health awareness and most recently at a women’s entrepreneur group. I’ve led group gatherings, created a community of connection and tried to empower each person I’ve met. I’ve supported local businesses to help them get off the ground and to explore their own gifts.

I’ve seen grade school children, teenagers, and young adults through individuals in their 70’s and 80’s. One-fourth of my clients are males. I’ve worked with individuals to release physical pain, emotional trauma, deep-seated beliefs and so much more. I’ve given clients new perspective on interactions and conversations. I’ve helped people connect with their inner child who just needs someone to know they aren’t alone. I’ve tried to empower and help each person discover who they are and how amazing their human journey is. I’ve taught reiki classes and attuned over sixty-five people. My goal is to always provide tools to navigate this amazing roller coaster ride of this human journey and to realize, it’s all an experience, good, bad or otherwise.

As you’ve read over the last six weeks, I’ve had an amazing life so far, many ups and many downs, some questionable decisions but I wouldn’t change any of it. For all the times I was in the deepest recesses of my life, thinking that I would never get out, I am reminded of the amazing times and the joy that I’ve also felt. I have the tenacity to continue on, my fire (I am an Aries if you couldn’t tell) is much more contained in a way that I get to guide it, it no longer controls me. My relationship with the Universe and All That Is has never been stronger. I am supported by non-physical, my spirit team and so much more.  I have met people from all walks of life and learned so much from each and every one. For this I am filled with gratitude each and every day. This human experience is hard, challenging and oh so rewarding.

Through all of this, I have learned more about myself, what trauma I have carried throughout my life I am learning to transmute, release and create a life that I desire. I am healing deep within and learning to love who I am with my shadow and those areas that I didn’t always act or say things from my heart center. None of us truly know what the future is, but I have hope and faith.

As each person awakens to who they are, we have the opportunity to make changes. Those dense energies of distraction and division are being broken down and dissolved, even if we can’t see it. As I’ve learned throughout my life, there is so much being created in the non-physical, so when we as energy spirits having a human experience are ready to move forward, there is support and the ability to do so.

I look forward to how my life will unfold as I continue to practice energy healing. It feels like the best is yet to come!



First, thank you for staying with me during the six weeks of my story, of How I Got Here. It was big, heavy, and at times tumultuous to read. My intent was to let you know I’m here for you, with experience, empathy and creative ways to deal with whatever life is throwing at you.

The world is a tough place right now. It can be super difficult to feel connected to much of anything. The disconnect of what is happening around us and the heavy stuff in our lives is a challenge. 

I want you to be reassured you are not alone. I am here to support you, to walk alongside you on your journey, and if possible, provide you with updated or new tools to navigate your way through the tough times.

Deep breaths, be kind to yourself. You are doing beautifully.

Thank you for helping me live my dream so I can help you live your life with ease and grace.

Be gentle with yourself this week.
