Since I was a kid, I knew I had intuitive abilities. To escape a tumultuous home life, I would walk the forest, talking to spirits and praying to ancestors. What lies beyond the “seen realms” never scared me , but I feared being rejected for being sensitive and different. I shut down my gifts, trying to walk a more ‘normal’ path. My abilities showed up again and again, at home, my relationships, in my work as a social worker and therapist. But each time I was faced with my intuitive power, I ran from it.

I was still attracted to healing modalities, but I sought more traditional routes. I received my masters in social work and became a mental health therapist. Still, I couldn’t help feeling as though there was more I could be doing outside the confines of a conventional healing structure, but I was scared that my life would change forever if I embraced my abilities. 

Once I moved from my hometown and started surrounding myself with other intuitives, that fear began to dissipate. But after years of ignoring Spirit, I was faced with several Dark Nights of the Soul, pushing me to trust myself even more. Working to heal deep wounds from a traumatic childhood, clear generational trauma, and lift the karmic weight of past lives, I gradually found my way forward.

After years of honing my intuition, guiding hundreds of clients to their gifts, and creating several healing mentorship programs, I developed the Intuitive Empowerment Method. While so many methods fail to incorporate the vital elements of trauma informed care, IEM is rooted in a holistic approach to trauma, not just for clients, but practitioners as well. 

Speaking as a published, award-winning author in the field of practitioner anxiety and burnout, we all have a duty to care for ourselves deeply through community, accountability, and spiritual boundaries. This work has shown me that everybody has unique abilities and that spirituality does not need to be so serious! Spirit is joyful, funny, and full of unconditional love. Trusting ourselves to make aligned choices and create a life of love is the greatest gifts to ourselves and the world!
