A new spiritual friend expressed interest in me taking a class at the New York Open Center: Hands of Light. With no hesitation, I signed up. Knowing this was all part of my new journey. I was scared but excited. While doing a powerful exercise with 3 other women, we paired up and I immediately had a vision of a little blond girl by a pond. I knew it was for a woman I did the exercise with but was scared to share. I closed my eyes and heard, "This is your journey, this is part of it, speak your truth." After speaking to her for a minute telling me she's a mom living in NJ. I finally told her about my vision. She said, "I have all boys." And I said, "I know, this little girl has passed on". She confirmed she lost a baby and SHE would have been 4 years old now.

Reiki, Gratitude & Love 
​
Shortly after, I had an intense sensation, similar to those panic attacks, to book a Reiki session. I called the person I knew locally and she couldn't fit me in that week. Finally, I asked the Universe, "What?" And I heard, "DO Reiki."' So I did some research and signed up for Reiki 1 with an emphasis on animals. The Universe then showed me several signs to go to Petaluma, CA for Reiki 2 at a senior animal sanctuary. While flying to CA I felt a neighbor's dog who was old and sick go to heaven. This was not my first time feeling this. In 2005 I was flying to FL to say goodbye to my other Grandma and I felt her go to heaven. Both were confirmed when I landed. What Reiki 1 & 2 did for me was bring me into this new light of true GRATITUDE. And that eventually led to LOVE! I was leading with my heart and in love with life for the first time in my life!
​
And then another message, the Universe told me to end the company and without hesitation, I ended Continued Puppy Love.
​
Then Covid happened. 
​
Go within.
​
I finally was able to slow down and what came of it was finding peace in surrendering to this higher power for the first time in my life, starting to figure this new life out and happiness was never going to come from a job, money or other people wanting "the best for you". I started to make myself a priority, connecting to my intuition and gut instincts and being more present. What I had to stop doing immediately was asking advice from about 10 different people or how a job does NOT define you. My goal now was to be authentic, protect my energy, lead with my heart and if I needed an answer, go within. 
​
"Meditation is a non-negotiable." 
​
When you are on the path meant for you, you meet people who are spiritual expanders for you; people who you instantly connect with or who bring you into a different realm of your journey. I was introduced to Maddie through a new spiritual friend. She was graduating from Colombia and moving out of NYC in 2 short days. She told me if I was going to be doing this work, I MUST start a meditation practice. She said, "Meditation is a non-negotiable in this work." So my spiritual journey became even more expansive because I invested in the work of Reiki and Meditation and both worlds collided most beautifully. Once I found my rhythm with meditation, I would see colors, feel my hands tingling, and eventually feel my third eye open. I even held the Universe in my hands!
​
Now I can finally say (scream) that I am stepping into my power, on the path meant for me, owning my gifts, surrendering to Universal energy, and ready to share my gifts with you! I AM FREE AND IN LOVE! My mission is to support you on your journey to find peace and love within. I want my life's purpose to coincide with your life's purpose. I want to guide you on your journey to unlock your true potential. To allow me to clear the energy around you, and increase your confidence to connect you to your higher self!

After living and loving Bella Mia for 14 years it was time to adopt a senior dog, a dream I had for years and after hearing a friend say, "Just do it" I adopted Powder Gi, my twirling blind overweight senior Shihtzu. The first month was devastating, navigating Powder's terrible cough, health issues, and allergies. Needless to say, I learned a lot about health, dog food, and mom guilt about having a second dog. While he was only here for a year and a half, he helped me realize my true life's purpose and passion for rescuing senior dogs, which helped guide me to become a Reiki Master. My soul pup Bella Mia and partner in crime passed away leaving a hole in my heart. After losing her I realized my other passion; assisting people with their end-of-life plans for their pets, to provide the least amount of anxiety and pain while their pets cross over the Rainbow Bridge.

During this time, I owe everything to Kelly from Booty By Brabants for her positive energetic workouts and for helping me through COVID. With a healthy body and mind, I became a Meditation Teacher!
​
I moved to Asbury Park, NJ from being in the Weehawken/Hoboken, NJ area for 20 years. Replacing the city skyline with healing waves! And replacing my grief of losing my soul dog with losing my father and soon after my handicapped rescue dog Rex. Grateful to my boyfriend, family, neighbors, and dog community for their love and support through this difficult time. But the sun always shines above the clouds.

My milestones: opening my Reiki Studio in Asbury Park, NJ in November 2023. Teaching my Meditation with Reiki classes at Boho Yoga in Asbury Park in 2024!

And in April - offering Grief Circles!
