Born during a blizzard on a cold December morning, I am the seventh child out of eight.  My Minnesota upbringing was quite normal considering we had such a large family.  I was raised in the traditional Catholic faith, and I even considered entering the convent while in my teens!  But life had different plans.

I married and gave birth to my son at age 23.  And like all young women, I dreamed of the fairy tail life of happily ever after.  But my soul had chosen a path of profound lessons.  I endured abuse of every kind in a twelve year relationship nightmare.  I know what it’s like to to loose yourself . . . to become just a shell of the person . . . broken and afraid.

​

But, there came the time when I could no longer take it.  Gazing at my son who also was suffering, I said, “No more.”  I mustered the strength to leave . . . the beginning that opened the door for healing and self-discovery.  My soul guided me to leave Catholicism and explore the depths of my own spiritual being.  Through the assistance of the Angels (whom I had contact with since childhood) and the many avenues of study, I found my strength, my confidence, my voice, my sovereignty.  I discovered the path that was meant for me.

​

I am no stranger to loss . . . the death of loved ones, the loss of relationships, of jobs and money, of my feelings of worthiness, and of myself (as mentioned above).  My road was paved with fear and self-doubt, but it was one I had to walk . . . to reclaim my life.  Trauma and loss are experiences you never forget, but you can transmute the pain into peace . . . the sorrow into joy.

​

And so, since that time, I have dedicated my life into helping others heal, to discover their true selves, to claim the birthright to be a strong, sovereign, worthy individual who considers life a meaningful gift.  Even as I continue my own growth, my joy is to hold the light for others to do the same.

May I be the lighthouse to help guide you back to yourself . . . the brilliant star you are at the very core of your being.
