In the elaborate tapestry of my life, my story has been stitched together with threads of spiritual discovery, musical fascination, and familial connections. From my childhood in upstate New York to raising my beautiful children in Florida, my journey has been a mosaic of experiences that have molded my consciousness and intuitive abilities to where I am today. 

The Gift of Intuition

From a young age, I’ve experienced the wonderful gift of intuition and clairvoyance – seeing the spirits of individuals who have passed, knowing the outcome of events before they occurred, and connecting with people on a deeply emotional level. Often, I assumed that the things I saw were just the consequences of an active imagination, or otherwise I’d chalk it up to “déjà vu.”

I saw my first “psychic medium” in my early teen years and I would continue to see spiritual and psychic readers with different methods throughout adulthood. But my first personal out-of-body experience with the metaphysical happened in one of the most challenging times of my life:

When I was 17, doctors found that I had an atrial septal defect, which they would correct in surgery soon after. While on the table in open-heart surgery, there was a moment when I came off of the anesthesia and woke up mid-operation. The image that still stays with me today is one that was taken from above, watching the scene as if I were an angel. I wasn’t panicked or chaotic, but peaceful as I looked down at the doctors and my body on the table.

While the doctors assured me that there was no way I could remember the events that took place during that time – that this small complication was brief and inconsequential – I recited, in detail, what I saw, and there wasn’t at all a scientific explanation for it.

At the time, I had two other friends in the hospital that would have the same surgery; both of them passed away. My survival was a true miracle, and to this day, I feel that I survived for a reason.

I believe this was one of the defining moments of my life.
