I was born with the natural gift of intuition, knowing when something was about to happen to me, my friends or members of my family. After years of experiencing ESP, intuition and empathic feelings I learned I was able to see other people's future, foresee potential trouble and help avert it. As an intuitive and spiritual coach I help a client find or align with a more positive path create a more fulfilling, happy life – aligning with the TRUE SELF and making his/her dreams come true.
My intuitive/empathic self was born after a near death experience at the age of 4. I had an extremely high temperature and entered into a coma-like state due to Meningitis. I awoke from the coma completely healthy and was discharged from the hospital within a week. From that point on I was incredibly sensitive and empathic. In my teenage years, my psychic visions and intuition became stronger enabling me to see what was about to happen or was happening to someone.
One of the most memorable occasions was a day I was walking with my girlfriends to a store by our lake and as I rounded the corner I heard “help me” and “saw” in my mind’s eye a little boy crying out for help. I began asking my friends if they could hear a cry for help, but they could not. As we exited through a tunnel my eyes immediately went to the far side of the lake where I saw the hands and small head of a little boy submerged in cold, icy water, desperately holding onto the edge of the dock, clinging to life. A huge snow pile obstructed the view to passersby and hindered his ability to climb to safety. No one could see his plight (but me, apparently). I began running with my friends and we reached him just as his fingers could no longer hold on and he sank into the frigid water. We pulled him from the icy lake just in the nick of time. I don’t know that I could have seen him myself, it took an extraordinary vision and extrasensory hearing. He survived and I never forgot the vision or the voice.
At age 17 while away at college I received the strongest message I had ever experienced along with a vivid image. I was overwhelmed by a sensation of serious and sudden illness surrounding my mother. I got a vision of her in the hospital, fighting for her life, feeling it had something to do with hormones and a chemical imbalance. I rushed to my friend's dorm room and saw her packing to leave for the weekend. I grabbed some clothes and jumped in her car. When I arrived home, all the curtains were drawn and it was dark. On the kitchen counter read the letters, S-u-e (my mother's name) and I-C-U. My mother was in the Intensive Care Unit. I then learned she had attempted suicide, connected to a chemical imbalance that was triggered due to changes in hormonal medicine along with the sudden onset of menopause. Bingo!
In the 1980's I graduated from college and "accidentally" began a career in public relations, working for world leaders, non-profit organizations, experts and authors. In retrospect I realize my intuitive gifts played a huge role, but I cannot say I was conscious of the level to which I was relying on them. I did seem to have a knack for calling the right people at the right time and creating the outcome I desired! In 1986 I was given the job to secure the safe arrival of a dissident, Mr. Kim, who wanted to return to South Korea to bring back the hope of Democracy to his people. After months of tireless work, I secured many national outlets and reporters to cover the story, by way of having them ride in the plane as he returned to his homeland. His return to Korea followed that of Philippine leader Aquino who was assassinated on the tarmac when Aquino returned home. We hoped to prevent such a fate for our Mr. Kim.
When Mr. Kim arrived in South Korea I was informed all was well, he had arrived without incident. But my intuition told me differently. So, in the middle of the night I began calling all my contacts to learn that, in fact, tens of thousands of armed police and tens of thousands of supporters were in the streets waiting for his arrival. Several of the armed officers were at the airport. They attacked Mr. Kim to separate him from our escort of U.S. Congresspersons and press, and Mr. Kim was missing. My intuition was right that all was not "well" and he was in danger. So I picked up the phone and began calling all the U.S. reporters and news desk editors I knew to inform them that Mr. Kim had been attacked and was missing. The news made front page headlines and was on all the morning talk shows. By that evening, Mr. Kim was released, he appeared on Nightline, with a bruised face but saying he was now fine. He was placed under house arrest for ten years (much like Nelson Mandela). Eventually he was elected President Kim Dae Jung and was later awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His vision to create a democracy was fulfilled. He gave me a plaque he made that reads, "A righteous person is never corrupted by unrighteous people". Thanks to my intuition, I was able to keep the spotlight on this man and help him in his path to create a peaceful and democratic nation. What a job! (Sadly, Kim Dae Jung died in 2009, but even in death he brought peace by bringing North and South Korea together for his memorial).
A few years later my mother died from lung cancer and I was left with deep sense of loss and emptiness. My personal spiritual exploration began as I reconnected with my faith, God, my Higher Power and a doorway opened wide to the spirit world. Three months after my mother's passing I saw her spirit in my room, bright and translucent and she let me know she was well, happy and celebrating her life. Although I had never "seen a ghost" before I was sure of what I saw and accepted it. Years later I learned another family member, one without any real religious or spiritual background, had the same experience.
Months later, as we readied her house to be sold, I went home one day exhausted from the work. I lay across the bed of my room and fell asleep. Suddenly, in a rush of energy I was awoken from a "dead" sleep and told to go to my mother's house. Dutifully, I got up and drove the 5 miles to her home, collected the last of my belongings and returned to my house. It took about 15 minutes. When I returned to my bedroom, I discovered it covered in glass. Someone had shot a bullet through my window and shattered glass was all over the bed I had been laying on just 15 minutes prior. That was a close call and I was so thankful I listened to that message!
Amazing and mystical experiences continued to happen to me month after month and year after year - escaping car accidents, seeing halos of light around pictures of me, knowing who to call when, giving messages that helped someone make a decision that could heal, help or change their life. Eventually I learned to embrace this magical part of my life, although I rarely discussed it with others. After studying with a metaphysical teacher I was encouraged to do readings for others, which I did and found very rewarding. I took every life coaching, metaphysical, or spiritual class I could, picking up lots and lots of tools along the way. All the while my spiritual gifts were growing.
In 1998 I was pregnant with my first child and experienced something extraordinary. Five weeks before my due date I had severe back pain that grew quickly in intensity as contractions began. Although I wondered if it was back labor, the message from God was, "Go to the hospital". So, I did. I was immediately hooked up to monitors and before I knew it, both the baby and I were reported to be failing. An emergency c-section was scheduled and the moment they made an incision in my abdomen a huge amount of fluid poured from my body and I flat lined. Then, as quickly as it happened, with no action on the doctor's part, I came back to life. The baby was rushed to ICU while I was rushed to another hospital and was put on life support, diagnosed with necrotizing pancreatitis, an infection that was killing me. Every day the doctors told my family I was going to die; there was simply no chance for survival.
For one month in ICU I fought to stay alive and spent another month in SICU (Surgical Intensive Care) where surgery after surgery took place to try to stop the infection. They said I had a 1 in a 5 billion chance of survival. I had many out of body experiences in this time period, as I traveled the universe looking for unconditional love (God) so that I could return to be a mommy. I met lots of Spirit Guides and healers, some of whom I would meet later in "real" life. At one point I had an amazing conversation with God, trying to convince him to save my life. I told him of all the good things I had done, saving the little boy, helping bring Democracy to South Korea, tending my sick mother, etc. etc. I was pleading my case. He said, "But you forgot the one gift I gave you. Your Life." (Maybe you can see why I call my business, my life dreams). I had certainly spent a lifetime helping others, but had spent little time caring for myself. I never honored myself; I literally killed myself for others, for the "cause", for the sick, for the dying. I never said no. I had worn out my precious body.
Now I had to take care of me. For many months I had to "intensively" care for myself. I had to learn to breathe again, to talk and even to walk again. Every day was agony to me as I begged to see my new baby, but I was too sick and they wouldn't allow her to visit. It wasn't until she was nearly 3 months old that I saw her for the first time and held her in my arms. It was the greatest moment of my life. My life dream came true, I was a mom! To this day, it is still my highest and best dream I live, being her mother.
My life after death journey began and was slow and arduous. This was no miraculously instantaneous healing experience. Yes it was a miracle, AND it took time. I was like a newborn baby, only I had gone through a very frightening life threatening experience so I had to heal on many, many levels. Body, mind and spirit. (So, if you too are struggling to be well, to heal, I understand. Healing is a journey. Your own personal journey. Be patient with your self. Love your self. Care for your self. Intensively Care for your Self.)
This healing experience brought my intuitive, psychic and healing abilities to an all time high. I had to pace myself because I was truly recreating my body and my life. As I returned to my spiritual work, I learned that not only could I see or feel what was in a person's future, but during our sessions I could get in touch with what the person really wanted to be experiencing and I could "tap into" that energy and help create an opening to that better life. And I did not "take on" their troubles, but could unconditionally love and accept them exactly where they were. That, in itself is healing, for all involved!
It was very exciting to not only hear that my readings were accurate, but that the new pathways were bringing such joy and fulfillment to my clients. Spending so much time "on the other side" I found people who had passed over were eager to talk to their loved ones through me, which brought a whole new level of fulfillment to my work. I really had forgotten that many people don't know that life goes on beyond the here and now.
Most clients come to me with worries or difficulty in their life. I honor this and I support them in making whatever changes they are ready for and in divine time. It's often easier than we believe. Here's the good news: there is something about the energy you and I can create together that makes dreams possible. I don't believe any of us can do this alone, so I'm here to help and to help you connect with others looking for spiritual connection.
Many of my clients tell me they feel alone, separate from others, especially those on a quest for more spirituality in their life. I began forming a spiritual circle in Maryland where we hold monthly gatherings, workshops and healing sessions. Over time the monthly gathering led to receiving messages from Angels, Spirit Guides and Loved Ones, often resembling a channeling session. Wonderful energetic healing is taking place and people are finding great strength in connecting with one another as they honor their individual spiritual paths. I also travel to other cities to hold gatherings to help my clients find clarity, peace, healing and to find one another. Reach out to one another, give someone a hug, believe in them, believe in yourself and believe in your dreams. And if you want me to come visit you, I'd love to!

I am often reminded of the message from God, to remember the one gift He gave you. Your life. What would you like to do with it? What are Your Life Dreams? I would love the opportunity to connect you to your TRUE SELF and help make your dreams come true.
