About Me
Daughter, sister, animal lover, friend, nurse, mother, energy healer, and medium. We all have many aspects to ourselves, and I have learned to embrace them all.
I’ve been a registered nurse for 29 years. At the time, becoming a nurse satisfied my desire to help others while also appealing to my logical/scientific mind. However, over the years I became disillusioned with Western medicine and its reactive approach to “healing.” I knew there had to be more, some alternative healing that would fill the gaps left when Western medicine would only treat after the fact and frequently with drugs causing yet another ailment. It’s a vicious cycle.
But whenever I looked to alternative methods, I would get confused and nothing particularly “spoke to me” as part of my next learning experience. Having been raised (and still living) in a small town in the South (the Bible-Belt), energy healing had never crossed my path. But WHOA! When it did….
I came to this path through a series of traumas starting in childhood in my own life, desperate to feel better. My only sibling, a younger brother, died when he was 21 in 1996. I had always wanted to believe he still existed somehow/somewhere but was terrified of attempting to find out because…what if I was wrong?
My painful marriage that resulted in two wonderful children ended in an even more painful divorce. I was unhappy but able to push through when my kids were younger and needed me more. When they were teenagers, driving, and didn’t need me as often I was constantly questioning: What is the purpose of life? Is this really all there is – the same drudgery every day? Get up, go to a job I don’t love with people I don’t particularly like, rinse, and repeat? I know…I sound like I was miserable, and I was -internally.
A co-worker who lost her son introduced me to Suzanne Giesemann, a renowned medium and spiritual teacher she found through the organization Helping Parents Heal. I began watching Suzanne’s videos on YouTube and was very intrigued by her. She, too, came from a left-brain world. Ahh, maybe there’s hope for me, I thought.
I wound up going to a weekend conference she held about learning to connect to our own loved ones who have passed. I cried the entire weekend – it was beautiful. I remember asking between sobs, “Is it possible for someone to be too broken to do this?” To which Suzanne lovingly replied, “No, but some of you may need some energy healing.” Oh, more help – yay! But who to trust? Enter my mentor, Annie Bond, at the recommendation of Suzanne, as she was my original barometer for trustworthiness in this arena.
I had a few energy healings and could sense things moving in my body even though I didn’t know exactly what was happening. I noticed I felt better and work wasn’t so awful. I craved more. I was inspired to enroll in Annie’s school to learn to heal myself and maybe some friends/family. I had no intention of becoming a professional energy healer at that time.
But I couldn’t deny that feeling of THIS! This is what I’ve been looking for! I had no idea I would love it the way I do or that I would have a knack for energy healing. I fell in love with the process and practiced healing on anyone I could. I jumped in with both feet and haven’t looked back – I was home! I gave myself healings daily. And life got better - I got better! I tapped into and developed my intuition.
