I Dig the Intuitive Experience.

Which means, I love tuning deeply in and getting information about people for them to use to make their lives better.

I have worked with hundreds of people, helping them see who they are and what they are about, helping make difficult choices, helping them find peace.

Through my intuitive guidance, I help people to live from their center, when they have become off balance and can’t find their way back in to themselves.

I Love Guiding and Teaching

I have a merit badge for yelling “YAY YOU, YOU’RE AWESOME!” and meaning it.

I have another one for bringing people into deep places of understanding, within themselves.

I teach about: the unconscious, intuition, meditation, the energetic body, body love and mind/body/spirit integration.

I guide about these things too.

What’s the difference between guiding and teaching?

Guiding is taking people to new places and helping them look around.

Teaching is showing people how to use tools that they can use to go to new places on their own.

I Love Talking to Animals

Well, naturally, who wouldn’t?

My dearly departed weimaraner, Beaulah, first talked to me. Then a cat named Arthur talked to me. Then I adopted a horse named Bert and I found out that I am really, really good at talking with animals.

Animals are smart. And they are wise. And they are funny. And they are very very present.

Every year, I talk with hundreds of animal clients, who live all over the world. We mostly talk when there is either a behavioral problem or a life transition, but sometimes, we just talk about whatever comes to mind. That’s good too.

It took me a long time to get okay with the intuition and the animal talking stuff.

Because it is outside of the six sigma of normal experience.

And sometimes people put me in the weirdo box. And being in the wierdo box is separating.

I don’t want to be in the weirdo box, because I’m all about love, connection and joy.

I found my Amazing Intuitive Skills later in life.

I grew up in a culture that didn’t understand or appreciate the intuitive experience. Most of us do.

I uncovered my intuitive skills a little later in life, after a career in corporate America (in software marketing strategy).

The good news about this: I know that we are all intuitive. We all have intuitive gifts. We just need to make these gifts conscious. Therefore, I guide and I teach and I talk about the intuitive experience.

The other good news: I know corporate America.

My life has a lot in it that makes me really happy.

1. I have 3 sons and a sweet man. The 3 sons are 22, 19 and 12. The boys are kind young men who like to laugh and are good to others. The sweet man is very good to me, and very funny.

2. I have a kitchenaid professional mixer. This makes me an amazing baker. Baking things makes me deliriously happy.

3. I live in Portland, Oregon, home of many good bookstores including: Annie Bloom’s and Powells. I read a lot.

4. I live in Portland, Oregon, home of many good yarn stores including: Close Knit and Dublin Bay. I knit a lot.

5. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats.

The dogs are: Benny – an 8 year old lab, rottie, shepherd, husky mix who looks like he’s made from all of the leftover parts at the dog factory; Hunni- a 9 year old whippet/golden mix who loves to chew plastic and have her belly scratched; and Olive, a 5 year old pit bull who sleeps a lot and says nom, nom, nom when she wants to eat what you’re eating.

You can watch the dogs on the beach here (along with my sweetie, Brian, and our friends, Loulie and Toby (the black dog with the white tip on his tail) :

The cats are named Leo and Bo. They do cat things.

6. I have chickens. I have 3 hens. They are Lillith, Ruby and Meg. The sweet man that I live with named them after demons from the TV show, Supernatural. I find this hilarious, but when they start laying eggs, I may poke the eggs suspiciously.

7. I talk with God a lot. God is wise and warm and funny and encouraging. I don’t talk about God that much, because we all have our own spiritual experience, and I don’t want ever want to imply that my way is the only way or the best way.

8. I like art and artisan jewelry.

9. I love people.

10. And I love ambient nature noises. Like the whistling birds outside my office.
