About

In 2005, the job I thought I would retire from evaporated. Faced with an unknown future, a mentor suggested I not find another clerical job and instead ask myself what I would do if I could do anything and was guaranteed success. For me, this was a turning point in my life. My immediate reaction was to say that I’d want to help people feel better. “What does that look like?” was the next question and I’ve been working on answering that every day since.

I began my journey by becoming a massage therapist, which led me to Reiki training, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi classes, and generally opened me up to the ways that our spirit can be soothed and nurtured through interaction with our bodies. I also went on a personal spiritual journey studying many religions in a quest to cobble together a personal understanding of the universe and my place in it. It was a wonderful time of discovery and I emerged with a fully realized understanding of myself and my role in this world.

As a lifelong intuitive empath, massage was an exceptional way for me to help people because I often felt the need to work on areas of my client’s bodies that they weren’t even aware were tight. It was a wonderful chapter in my life that was cut short by fibromyalgia.

Next, I focused on the art I’d began creating in my early 20’s. I make happy art that makes the viewer feel uplifted. I enjoy bright colors and joyous themes. I still create my happy art, but in 2010, my focus was drawn to writing when a lady I was working with asked me for specific steps to build her new life. That’s when I wrote the book Walk In Your Own Footsteps and created the accompanying cards. When I finished that book, I really felt like I had said what I wanted to say and was quite satisfied.

Until the fall of 2019, when I started noticing so many young intuitive women who don’t enjoy the benefit of the education and accepting community I experienced during my season of seeking. I began to dream of an idealized community that supports and nurtures intuitive empaths so that we can, together, help the world be a better place. This has led me to write Jane Street Cooperative Garden.

While discussing the book with a friend, it became obvious to me that I was to be a character in my own book. The story of Ahma, in the book, is my story. I enjoy frequent spiritual nudges that I believe keep me on my path. In this blog, I will share those experiences with you. I’d love to hear about yours, too.
