 I can’t remember a time that the spirit world has not been a part of my life. From a very young age I have been visited by those who have passed on. As a young child it was a natural and normal occurrence. I looked forward to and enjoyed my visits with my other worldly friends. While my mother called them “imaginary”, I knew that they were real people. What I found puzzling was the fact that I was the only one who could see, hear, and sense them. If my mother wanted to call them imaginary, so be it. I was allowed to enjoy my “Imaginary” friends, so I continued my almost daily visits with them. This continued until about the age of ten.

At this time, I began to realize that my friends (in the physical body) never seemed to mention having any of these experiences. I started to feel different. Even though my spirit friends came to me and asked me not to be afraid, this is exactly what happened. I was beginning to get scared. I started to have trouble sleeping at night. I needed the lights on in order to fall asleep, and the covers pulled up tight covering my ears (I didn’t want to hear anybody talking to me). I started to imagine a force field of light surrounding me, covering me like a dome. This helped me feel safe. I now realize that what I was doing instinctively as a child, is a practice that is commonly used as a form of protection by many in the holistic field (mediums, healers, bodyworkers, etc.).

Years later as an adult, I was formally introduced to this practice of surrounding oneself with white light. This I was told, was used to protect one’s energy field. I remember sitting in a development circle recalling my childhood. I remembered how I used to practice the same thing instinctively at the age of ten. Wow I thought, as I began to realize just how close “my people” (spirit teachers) have always been to me. I was just starting to make REAL sense of it all.

Everything started coming together. The visitations as a child, my fear of these strange but wonderful experiences, and the spontaneous inspirational/automatic writing which began in my early teen years. At the age twenty five, I became aware of my calling. I have been in touch with the world of spirit consciously since birth. I am a spirit messenger, a medium. I am a bridge between this physical world and the world of spirit.

I have had the honor and privilege over the years to have trained with some of the best mediums from the US and the UK, and I will continue to train, for the more you learn, the less you know. We are all students here upon this earth. I do this work, because I love to be of service. I do this work, because it is such an important part of my being. It is my being, and I wish to share it with the world.
