I believe it is something that has always been a part of me. But as a child, it scared me, so I thought I was just a weird kid. About 12 years ago,
I started having anxiety and panic attacks.(10-15 a day) I felt as though
I was leaving my body, so I would sit on the floor with my husband behind me placing his hands on my shoulders. Ticking clocks would cause anxiety. Making simple decisions would

being stuck in grief.
As someone who has conducted thousands of readings, what is the most important message you wish to convey to those who are grieving and seeking to reconnect with their loved ones?
Be gentle on yourself. There
is no timeline on grief. Everyone experiences it differently. Seeking the right Evidential Medium may help you find peace to know that they are never far away. Those who have passed are ok. As being the one left behind, we are not ok and it is ok to mourn them. They meant a lot to you. If you are really struggling with grief there are professional counselors who can help give you the proper tool to help you walk through it. Seeing a Medium on a regular basis is not going to help take the pain away. I, myself, do not take appointments closer than a year apart unless there has been another loss in the client’s life. A Medium should not be used as a means to gloss over grief.
In your Crystal Addiction Diary, you encourage people to explore their connection to stones and crystals. How did your own journey with crystals begin, and what role do they play in your spiritual practice?
When I started working with Spirit, I also studied everything I could
find including meditation, Reike
and energy. Stones have energy and are a great tool to use for mediation. When I meditate, I choose a stone or crystal to place in my hand. This helps me clear my mind and focus on the quietness. I can feel its vibration and
it feels comforting and calming. The book was created for stone collectors. It enables them to keep track of their stones. Again, using the habit of journaling things, like why they bought the stone, what their spiritual energy
Balancing your roles as a
psychic medium, author, and entrepreneur requires a great deal of energy and focus. How do you manage to stay grounded and centered while juggling these different aspects of your life?
I have a great support team. My husband helps keep me grounded. My children and grandchildren also offer their love and support. And I have a

a nightmare. After a few classes, she told me she didn’t need her to teach me what was coming naturally to me and that I should just practice. So I listened. These past 9 years have been an amazing adventure of working in the Mediumship field. I finally after 50 years on this earth felt comfortable in my own skin. And the most amazing thing happened. I have not had a panic or anxiety attack since. I now know Spirit was around me trying to get
my attention. Their unknown energy was surfacing as panic attacks. I have found my calling, to help others know their loved ones are never far away.
very good friend who helps keep me balanced. But I have to say that my relationship with God keeps me centered. I feel I have a purpose in life. And that purpose is to help others heal. I could not do this alone and I know that I, alone, cannot do this the correct way. I just try to follow the path that is placed in front of me.

I am currently working on two books and a set of Oracle Cards. The one book is about coming back home to yourself after a loss. The other book is about Spiritual experiences. I do not believe in coincidences. It is a collection of stories that include signs, sightings, dreams and visitations. The Oracle cards are spiritual awakening cards to help connect you with your higher self.
I also offer mentoring to those wanting to open up their channel to spirit and explore their abilities.
I am facilitating an “Only A Whisper Away” Women’s Retreat
in Pigeon Forge Tn in October. This retreat is not just a grief retreat but a time to connect with yourself, others and the other side.
There is also a podcast coming in the near future.
I do private readings (in person and on zoom), intimate group readings, gallery readings and speaking engagements.

I attended a small group reading in hopes to hear from her. Of course she showed up with a beautiful message. After the group, the Medium pulled

me to the side and explained that spirit had a big job for me. She explained all the things I was experiencing. After driving home and explaining this to my husband, I began to pray and seek guidance from God. In my prayer I stated if this was the path I was to go on, please place people in my path who can help guide me. There were too many people coming to the surface for me not to take notice. I met a man 80 miles from my home who randomly said he felt I needed to meet his sister in Colorado. She called and we spoke of many things. She just happened to be coming to an area close to me and we scheduled a meeting. She then put me in touch with someone in Australia who did a reading for me and later facilitated a mentoring program for me for a short time. During her reading, something very profound happened. She mentioned that as a child I would speak to ghosts. I had no recollection of this until she said, “you said you had goats.” All my life my parents teased me about my imaginary goats. They
deeply personal tool for those grieving a loss. What inspired you to create this journal, and how do you hope it will help people on their journey through grief?
My clients were the inspiration for this book. So many of them would mention being afraid they would forget about their loved one. Some
things
would say they wished their children would have known them. They would convey to me that their last memory of them was sick or after they had passed. They never got the chance to say goodbye.
I’ve always journaled my thoughts and feelings. It is an exercise that helps me think of things that I had forgotten. Combining my journaling habits with the fears of my clients seemed like
a way to walk through the grief by remembering stories. Writing them down creates a memoir for future generations to come. When your mind is spinning out of control in grief, there is a section of monthly mantas. There is a section to write about all
the firsts. The first birthday without them, anniversary ect. Honor them on this day by writing a letter to those who have gone before you. There is a section on self care, songs and signs.
My hopes are that it will help you remember who they were instead of
is and how things have changed since first starting to work with them.
I have also completed a 2 year mentoring program with Spirit Artist/ Evidential Medium Joseph Shiel and I am part of John Holland’s My Soul Community. I have also studied under Lisa Williams and will be studying under Tony Stockwell late August of
this year. Reader’s House II 65
