So many of us, at one point (or many points) in our lives, feel lost or unmoored. This is natural in the cycle of our lives and when we feel that way, connecting with our inner knowing we can help guide us through the fog.

The Story of Alice
I would like to share with you the story of a client, Alice, who came to me a few years ago knowing she needed a change in her life. While not unhappy, nor was she feeling fulfi lled.

I am not a medium nor am I psychic, but I am highly intuitive—meaning my soul, my spirit, whispers to me.
