My parents took me to the doctor when I was a kid and said they were worried because I was talking to people they couldn’t see. I was often found in my room giggling with my ‘Imaginary Friends’, holding their hands and hosting tea parties. The doctor said ‘Don’t worry about it. She’s got an over-active imagination and she’ll grow out of it.’

I never grew out of it.

As a teenager I got into all the girly witchy stuff a proper Gen Xer does. I studied my Tarot deck, I gobbled up ‘The Medicine Woman’ book series by Lynn V. Andrews and my mind began to open. The prophetic dreams started, I made super lucky guesses all the time and then the greatest thing that could happen to me did…

I got sick. Really sick.

‘Trigeminal Neuralgia’ is a nerve pain disorder of the 5th cranial nerve. I had unnecessary wisdom teeth surgery in my mid twenties which I believe woke a dormant beast that left me in agony for 10 years. This condition is nicknamed ‘The Suicide Disease’ and for good reason. I will forever credit my scottish stubbornness for being alive today. No one puts Baby in a corner.

During this time I did everything I could to fight the pain. I learned all about the body, the importance of healthy communication and the power of ‘mind over matter’. I worked diligently on my five senses so that I could move them ‘away’ from the pain when it was unbearable. I have come to understand that by doing this, I was exercising a part of my brain that is able to comprehend energetic frequencies being emitted from sentient consciousnesses outside of my own.

In my thirties a dear friend of mine was visiting who was a very ‘in-tune’ person. After he had told me a story about his lawyer back in the UK (a person I had never met nor seen a picture of) he looked at me with a strange expression and quietly said 'You should be able to tell me about her.’

When he said that, an involuntary thing happened. The only way I can describe it is like when you cross your eyes to see double, that happened but somewhere deep in my brain. All that time working with my 5 senses suddenly streamlined and my sixth sense literally popped off!

I saw what appeared to be a screen drop down in front of my eyes. I could see random images, faces, words and colors race across my vision. This went on for 20 minutes and I described it all to him as it occurred. I forced myself to stop and that’s when he smiled, told me I was a clever girl and then began to explain how all of it made sense.

He had a long history with talking to Spirits and started in a similar way. The mechanisms of this kind of communication involves layers of intellectually malleable consciousness surrounding our physical bodies. Spirits use this energy to exchange information with us like a speaker receiver system.

I’d been with my Tarot deck a long time so the two practices merged and since then I’ve been very lucky to have read for thousands of people across Ontario, Canada. Readings with me and my ‘Invisible Friends’ cover all sorts of subjects. I have an extensive medical background (Nutritionist / Paramedic) that I work with my guides for health related subjects. Love, family and career of course are of universal interest to us all so rest assured your loved ones in the spirit world find your life just as important as you do.

I live in Toronto and am currently working on my autobiography ‘Under My Breath’. It’s a collection of experiences I’ve had in my life that turned me into a believer. I hope to one day be able to tour the world talking to people who have had experiences like mine and to let them know they’re not crazy, just psychic.
