She lovingly guided me as I became aware of my spirit guides and helped me heal from a life transition. A few reiki healers later I was now communicating with my guides and angels. Not really knowing what to do with all this information, I basically talked on the phone a lot! Helping my friends and family with whatever their heartache was at the time. After a move to another state, I was led to be mentored by one of the best medical intuitives in the country. She taught me how to trust my intuition as well as the complexities of medical intuition. For the last decade it's been busy. I have been taught how to journey by a shaman, taken advanced classes developing my psychic and mediumship ability, and have become certified in Family Constellation Therapy. I made the leap to practice officially several years ago. Word of mouth and the beautiful people I have been able to help have spread the message of my practice. I have been blessed with the best healing team of women to guide me on my path. I am humbled and so very grateful to be helped by them and spirit. Thank you to Samara, Lori-Lyn, Doe, Miki, Tina, Laurie, Marie, Samantha, Denise, Nishaan and Karie. I found my calling because of you. Personally, I love cooking - not so much cleaning, a secret love for Below Deck and Captain Lee, The Lake in The North and the Gulf in The South, and birds. Yep, birds of any kind. Also, I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend. I was sent the most patient, loving and open husband. His belief in me has made this all possible. Thank you, David. 💕julie
