About

Nowadays, it’s easy to find information about psychic development – just like how you found me here!  However, my journey began long before the internet. Back then I had to hunt through libraries, rare bookstores (which I continue to love to do) and seek out the experience of others.

Most readers I’ve been privileged to know ( both before I took up the work professionally and even long after) were quite helpful.  My mother liked to see a well-known reader named Madame Helen “Red” Davis, who took the time to give me some good advice about my abilities as well as the profession. This is why I see my fellow readers more as colleagues than competitors. We have a good community of readers here in Winnipeg that are generally cooperative and mutually supportive. I have also been fortunate to have friends that don’t just see me as a reader. All of us have to go through learning experiences, intuitive or not. This is also why I pay the help I received forward. I consider it an honour to help others on their journey.

When I first began intentionally doing psychic readings, it was through what I later learned was called “psychometry.” I could hold on to a ring or an object belonging to a person, and I would go into a state of “knowing.” Sometimes this was their history, or what they were going through, or signals of things to come. After a while, it became less necessary to be touching the object. It became more about focusing on the person.

I’ve worked with many other reading modalities over the years. Tea reading was popular when I began reading in restaurants, and I enjoyed that aspect. I knew from my mother and my aunts that the tools were a vehicle, a focal point, and I took to them quite naturally. From the moment I first picked up the Tarot though, there was, again that “knowing.” Tarot can be an unending lesson as the archetypes dance and express themselves in different ways. It’s not (for me anyway) merely memorizing card meanings, but rather a system that helps translate what I receive intuitively. As it has come into much broader use in the last twenty years, many people I read for study and work with Tarot. It’s such a joy to continue to learn and discover together.

 As I progressed, it became clear that the work required a commitment to the higher good of those I was reading for. This was a “drawing nearer” to my own sense of the Greater Spirit that we all are connected to. My work has always been about helping people connect to that. 

I also learned that reading, although sometimes fun, was not something to play with lightly. That it had to be in the right context. The times that I didn’t listen to this usually came with a price tag.

A reader should also have a sense of critical thinking. In other words I have to question what is coming through and not get distracted by projections (or wishful thinking). Sometimes the message in a reading tells us to “wake up and smell the coffee.”  This is why I always present my work as “food for thought.” It is meant to help a person’s own perception and discernment, never to impose on that.

These experiences are part of what continues to form the ethics in my work. They are things that most of us have had to learn in the doing.

Sometimes we all need guidance or just the knowledge that we are not alone in our experience. The spark of discovery/recovery can come in many ways. There is a saying; “what you are looking for…you are looking with.” I believe the spark that ignites curiosity is in all of us. When we listen to it, it also can create compassion. 

This is what led to this being my life work and continues to speak to me in so many ways. Perhaps in your own curiosity and seeking it is part of what led you here.

And so….the journey continues.
