Guide. Catalyst. Fellow traveler. I’ve lived every tool I share.
PERSONAL BIO
I’ve felt a ‘calling’ since my early twenties. What what I here for? What was my purpose? That question showed up in little ‘breadcrumbs’ throughout my life — and I followed them periodically, but was focused on building a career and a life. It wasn’t until I walked away from a toxic job that I made the real commitment to stop putting it aside – and start living it!
I’m a bit of an explorer. One of my passions is travel. Globally, or just wandering around town and discovering great new shops and restaurants. I think this began on weekend drives to the Ohio countryside with my parents. On the way home, my siblings would be sleeping, but I stayed wide awake – I just didn’t want to miss anything!
I have been fortunate to travel extensively domestically and internationally, both personally and through work. And I also enjoy solo traveling … I love the freedom of charting my own path… I think that pattern shows up in everything I do – including this work. Following my own breadcrumbs. The photo here was taken at a trade show and is me dressed up as a Korean princess! Such fun – it took about 15 minutes and two people just to get me dressed!
I am analytical by nature. When I first encountered intuition as a concept, I was skeptical. Was Intuition real? or just ‘woo woo’? I wanted empirical evidence! I decided I would test it. The results of this ‘test’ astonished me! And…made me a life-long practitioner! That’s how I approach everything – with curiosity, openness, and a commitment to sharing what I learn.

So many life lessons have come from my experiences traveling. Greater understanding of other cultures – helping me see that we are all essentially the same. We care for our families, raise our children, work and contribute to society through our jobs or businesses, and need to feel and share love. And we all have a unique purpose… something each of us has to do, give or share. There is no large or small gift. Each one, when expressed, raises us all up.
I’m a Midwest girl originally, but grew up in Southern California. I’ve lived a few other places in the West, and as much as I love exploring, I keep coming back here to Southern California. It’s home.
A couple of fun facts about me….I am a certified Graphologist (handwriting analyst) and… I am proud to have inherited a gift from my Dad – I can wiggle my ears!
MY PASSION & JOURNEY TO PURPOSE
I spent much of my life seeking my Purpose. I intuitively knew there was something I was supposed to be doing, and I longed for the answer. As I look back, I can see so many moments where I was being guided to this. During a spiritual Mastermind1 with a dear friend, I used the analogy that our Intuition was much like our car’s GPS (Global Positioning System). We trust our car’s GPS and follow it to take us to our destination. But we don’t have to tell it how to get us there. We simply get clear on our final destination – what we want, and have confidence the GPS will navigate the path for us. This is the same with Spirit. We focus on the desired outcome, then have faith, and take action, and allow ourselves to be guided along the way.
Intuition is our internal GPS – our God Positioning System – our inner guidance, expressing through our senses, and guiding and directing us to our highest and best situation. Call it God, Spirit, the Universe, your Higher Power or your Instinct, I believe it to be the same. Of course… just like our car’s GPS – our Rational Mind often wants to take over, but we can choose to follow our Divine Guidance (that IS your Intuition). The good news…. everyone has Intuition! And everyone can learn to recognize and follow it!
You can do this too! Let’s do it together!
I have been fortunate to experience so many incredible things, and move through some difficult and significant challenges, like most of you. My Intuition guided me all along the way. Drawing on my Intuition, 40 years of spiritual study and practice, and extensive sales and marketing experience, it is my passion and desire to now share what I’ve learned in my life, and the lives of so many others, with you. One thing I know for certain… it’s never too late! Through our work together, I will help you clarify the inkling, quiet whisper, that is calling you to your next amazing stage of life – to realize your Divine Purpose and the amazing life that is still to come!
Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were put on this Earth to do with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.
