About me
My entry into spirituality was astrology.
As early as 6 years old, I was fascinated with the stars, remembering people’s star signs before their names.
This fascination remained a constant throughout my life. When my classmates were reading Charlottes Web, I was reading Linda Goodman’s Star Signs.
When I was 17, I was gifted a deck of Tarot cards. I had no idea what they were, but I was immediately intrigued. Throughout the years, these cards were in my constant awareness. As I learned more about the deck, I realized their connection with astrology, and I was hooked.
No matter where I’ve been in life, I have practiced astrology and tarot. I’ve lived life in the fast lane, stumbling and learning hard lessons along the way. I became captivated by the party scene early and numbed myself with drugs and alcohol, even to the point of overdosing and nearly losing my life. I know these lessons molded me and shaped my character, providing me wisdom and strength and the ability to hold many truths.
After getting married at 23 years old, I began to settle and leaned into a career as a Realtor. Intellectually, I thought this path was right for me; in my heart, however, I knew it was all wrong. I remember driving to show a home and hearing a voice in my head saying “what are you doing here? This is the wrong direction.” During my six years in real estate, this voice only got louder. The louder my intuition became, the more I sought alcohol as an escape.
On the cusp of my Saturn return - one of the major astrological shifting points in our lives - I had my daughter Jade, and my entire perspective changed. I fell completely in love with her, and realized I couldn’t force myself to be away from her to work a job I wasn’t passionate about. I wanted to be her role model and possess a path of authentic Truth.
I quit my job in real estate and decided to explore acting, something I had always been curious about. Even though I was booking roles - every budding actor’s dream come true - that little voice came back, whispering “this is the wrong direction.”
Meanwhile, I had begun studying the Tarot more seriously. I formed a deeper relationship with my cards - the same deck that was given to me at 17 years old. I learned deeper insights, and it was during this time I decided to become more serious about these passions.
I began working for The Tarot Room on Granville Island in Vancouver, and renting my own studio space where I was reading cards and exploring deeper insights into astrological charts. I was profoundly enjoying my work: it was feeding my soul, and it gave me the opportunity to empower others. The little voice got louder, but it was no longer telling me I was going in the wrong direction.
Instead, it told me I had found my home.
My passion for empowering others eventually grew until it blossomed into a life coaching business. I went back to school to become a Certified Life Coach, Certified Life Skills Counsellor, and received my diploma as a Wellness counsellor. These credentials strengthened my natural skill set and complimented the work I was already doing, both within myself and with others.
These modalities have helped me understand the deepest, darkest parts of myself. The best healers are those who have experienced the darkness and have come out of it stronger. When we learn how to name our darkness with radical honesty, it becomes easier for other people to name theirs. I do not shy away from my past. My life experiences have helped me become a more compassionate, accepting person.
In my experiential program, I cried every day for a year. I truly do understand how hard it is to dive into deep, personal work. Each one of those tears served a purpose for me: I was able to release my outdated ideas about myself, embrace repressed emotions, and move the energy stuck in my body to find my souls purpose. My background with esoteric practices like tarot and astrology help me better understand my clients on an energetic level. While my intuitive gifts are potent on their own, my wellness and counselling education gives me a framework to help direct the tools you need for healing.
