What were your professional beginnings like and what led you down the path of spirituality and energy work?
In 2001, my life took a dramatic turn. I found myself at a crossroads—leaving a long-term relationship, moving into a new home, and taking a bold leap to step away from my career as a Software trainer in finance for a year to find myself. It was a time of profound transformation, guided by the support of those around me who encouraged these life-altering decisions. Looking back, I realize I was undergoing a spiritual awakening, a journey that would change the course of my life forever.
During this period of introspection, I experienced a deeper connection with the Creator, a direct link to Source that opened up a profound relationship with my true self. My life was changing in every possible way, bringing both joy and challenges. The positive shifts in my life also brought to the surface unresolved emotions that manifested as heightened anxiety. Four months into this transformative journey, I experienced my first Reiki session at a bed and breakfast with a practitioner named Janice.
The session was nothing short of extraordinary. My body vibrated with energy, I had an out-of-body experience, and I was flooded with emotions—laughing, crying, and feeling an intense surge of power within. I saw vibrant colours and felt as though I was suspended outside of time and space. At that moment, I received a clear message: “You are to be the one on the other side of the table.” I understood this as my calling, the path I was meant to walk. This life-changing experience led me to complete my Reiki Level I training, and soon after, I began to feel a profound sense of calm and clarity as my emotional blocks and anxieties dissolved.
Eager to share this transformative energy with others, I began practicing Reiki daily and offering sessions to family and friends. The desire to help others was so strong that I created my first Reiki website, gradually attracting clients despite Reiki being relatively unknown in the early 2000s. My journey led me to Wellspring, a cancer support organization where I volunteered at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. Working with cancer patients for two years allowed me to witness firsthand the incredible healing power of Reiki. This experience taught me the invaluable lesson of listening to the body, connecting with the heart, and trusting that our answers lie within.
After a year of practice, I felt called to deepen and share my knowledge with others, leading me to complete my Reiki Master/Teacher level. I’ll never forget teaching my first Reiki Level I class, where I initiated my twin sister Sandra. At that moment, I knew that what I was teaching had the power to profoundly transform lives.
What sessions/readings do you offer?
Today, I offer a variety of sessions, including Reiki, Akashic Records readings, Hypnosis, Past Life Regression, and Journey to Higher Self. However, my favourite way to work with clients is through a personalized, integrated session, which I’ve developed over the years. These sessions begin with breathwork, allowing me to connect deeply with the client’s energy and channel guidance from Spirit and their guides. I share the insights I’m privileged to receive and answer any questions the client may have. I also love tapping into the energy of loved ones who have crossed over, bringing through messages of peace and reassurance. My mediumship abilities have become more refined in recent years, and it’s genuinely fulfilling to provide comfort and closure through these connections.
Regardless of the session type, my intention remains the same as when I was a little girl: to help people feel better. For over two decades, I’ve had the privilege of tuning into higher vibrational energies and holding space for them to emerge, bringing healing and clarity to those I work with.
For those ready to dive deep into their healing journey, I offer transformational coaching packages that span one, two, or three months. These packages are designed for individuals committed to making significant shifts in their lives. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the positive transformations in my clients—seeing them leave a session feeling lighter and more empowered and receiving feedback long after the session has ended about the lasting impact of our work together.
What are your workshops like?
In addition to one-on-one sessions, I also love the opportunity to work with larger groups through workshops. I’m passionate about holding space for participants, guiding them through what’s holding them back, and helping them step into a stronger, clearer, and more confident version of themselves. These workshops are designed to create a supportive environment where individuals can connect with their true selves and embrace their personal growth.
What is your favorite part of your profession?
There are many aspects of my work that I absolutely love, but what stands out the most is the deep connection I’m able to establish with my clients. I do this using my clairvoyant, clairsentient, clairaudient, and claircognizant abilities. I work with individuals of all ages, from mid-teens to those in their 60s and beyond. Over the years, I’ve developed a remarkable ability to find that point of connection with people, no matter where they are in their lives. This connection allows me to offer guidance that supports and strengthens them on their path.
One area that is particularly close to my heart is working with clients who suffer from high anxiety. Having experienced intense anxiety in my 20s, I deeply understand the challenges it presents and the impact it can have on one’s life. I am passionate about helping clients move beyond their anxiety, transform negative thought patterns, and learn to regulate their nervous systems. These sessions are not just quick fixes—they are designed for individuals ready to prioritize their well-being and commit to a journey toward a calm, clear, and centred state of being. I utilize a combination of techniques, including visualization, inner child healing, hypnosis, and more, to support this transformative process.
Do you have any final thoughts you’d like to share?
My journey into spirituality and energy work has been one of profound transformation, not just for myself but for the many clients I’ve had the privilege to work with. I am passionate about helping others connect with their higher selves, heal, and reach their full potential. Whether through individual sessions, transformational coaching, or group workshops, my goal is to create a space where true healing and personal growth can occur. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share this work with others and look forward to continuing this journey of love, light, and transformation.
