Where were you raised? Has the landscape of that place influenced your work in any way?
I grew up on the east coast in a series of old houses. My great grandmother lived in a great big mansion from the 1700s and a very close friend lived in a boarding house from the 1800s that was haunted by a ghost named Clarence. Old houses in old landscapes give me a juicy kind of feeling. I always want to know more, to step deeper into the history. Houses very obviously hold energy of past inhabitants and the things that occurred there. I tuned into these things at a young age — seeing ghosts was not unusual for me — and this opened me to the world of other dimensions early in my life. It always seemed normal - or if not ‘normal’, definitely exciting.
Do you collect anything?
I have always been a collector - bottles, buttons, dolls heads, tin boxes, funny dog paintings. My current passion are rocks. I have a very large collection of minerals. I love the way they look and feel, not to mention many of these stones have a vibration that is palpable, especially during meditation. I probably have one thousand rocks (if not more). My husband thinks I’m crazy, but then he keeps stealing choice pieces from my collection! I have actually gotten so passionate about collecting that I have begun dealing in crystals. I love to share rocks with other people. I love turning them on to the vibes. I love seeing their eyes pop wide the first time they hold a piece buzzy moldavite or watch them melt into a puddle when they hold a good piece of lithium quartz.
What was the last thing that you fell in love with?
I am crazy in love with my mix-malinois dog. He is a rescue who came to me at a few months old from a puppy mill. He was the size of a loaf of bread when I got him, and now he is like a horse. He still sits in my lap though. It’s a funny sight.
While I won’t call it love, I am very much into my somavedic harmonizer unit. You plug it into the wall and it creates a shield against environmental smog (EMFs & 5G), virus and bacteria. It harmonizes water so that it is more beneficial for the human body. Blood tests done on people using this technology show huge improvements in red blood cell activity. There is anecdotal evidence that it improves basic functions such as blood pressure and metabolism. It’s a weird little contraption that I sometimes think I’m crazy for using, but I do feel better.
What do you love most about yourself?
I love that at a certain point I just stopped caring what people thought of me or my ideas. Doing the work I do, and keeping it authentic and deep, requires not worrying about fitting into a box of societal expectations. When I first started professionally, I thought I might just give a little advice, maybe some dietary tips or encouragement, but I quickly learned that opening into the spiritual dimensions requires a very grounded and stable sense of self because spirit comes in all shapes and sizes, and can be very unexpected, shocking or, yes, weird. Let me just say, I used to think people who believed in ETs were slightly off, but now I don’t.
Can you claim one gift that has come out of the Covid 19 pandemic?
I always suspected that I could work with energy without contact or even visuals. When the lockdown happened, I couldn’t see my clients in person anymore and I switched to all virtual (via telephone). A year of phone sessions has proved to me that, yes, energy can be affected regardless of proximity. Remote work has strengthened my ability to step into another’s energy field and feel completely what is happening there and support changes for the better.
Is there a place or activity that helps you to access magic/ love/ god/ spirit/ the universe/ mother nature/ higher self/ the divine/ a power greater than yourself?
The inner field via meditation is my place of magic. Closing my eyes and riding the theta waves into other dimensions is exciting and exhilarating. I have been to the most amazing places during meditation: the deep cosmos, past lives, the realms of angels and high frequency energy beings. I can get to these magical places also by hiking: tuning into nature’s frequency. My current favorite hike is Tuna Canyon in Topanga.
What book are you reading?
I just started The Mirror and the Light, by Hilary Mantel. It’s the third book in her series about the life and adventures of Thomas Cromwell. It sounds dry, but it’s not. It’s fascinating. He navigated the politics of the court of Henry VIII. He did what he could to survive but to but to be in his truth too.
What object do you hold most dear?
I’m not a sentimental person and don’t really hold objects too dear, but if pressed, I suppose I would say my blanket from childhood that provided me so much comfort. I still have it carefully wrapped in a shoe box. My 8-year old asks to see it sometimes and we pull it out and admire the enormous hole in its middle and the frayed edges. It still smells the same.
I am attached to some silver spoons that have traveled down the family line since the 1600s. I keep them very safe in a secret place because I would hate to lose them. They are so lightweight, like using a feather to eat soup. They belonged to my ancestor, Susannah Martin, who was executed as a witch during the Salem witch trials. The spoons are engraved with her initials and I like to imagine her using them during her life. I take offense at the accusations of witch that were used against her. In reality, she was an outspoken woman at a time when this wasn’t popular. She owned a lot of land and was a widow. Her neighbor saw the accusation as a good way to get his hands on his land, which he did. She was granted clemency in the last few years by the governor of Massachusetts. I am sure if I lived in the 1600s in New England, I also would be faced with similar accusations if I was practicing intuitive healing as I do now. I have a lot of respect for Susannah for what she went through.
If you could change one thing about our world, what would it be? Is there an individual or an organization doing work in this area that you want us to know about?
I would love for people to realize they have the power to affect and change their world. When we realize we create our own reality - really! - based on our subconscious fears and desires, we can begin to make other choices that are of higher benefit. When we see ourselves as the ‘children of god’ that we actually are, we begin to treat ourselves, others, animals, and the environment with much more love and respect.
I have followed the teachings of Guru Singh for a number of decades. He is a kundalini teacher who instructs on ways to find one’s self despite the fog of modern society. He has influenced me greatly on my own journey, as a healer and as a spiritual teacher.
If I was not afraid, I would…
I would take more financial risks to experiment with some of my more outrageous ideas. Trusting the flow of abundance is still something I’m working out in my energy field!
