My chosen name is

I began having mystical experiences as early as four and I was still firmly tethered to memories of my past life incarnation and my previous mother. I patiently awaited a visit from this “mom”, and lived in a world supported partly by my imagination and partly by my precocious understanding of the elusive nature of reality. It was as if I, alone, was privy to experiencing a reality relieved of the constraints of time, space, and the laws of physics. My clairvoyance, intuition, and ability to manifest events began to peek through during my early childhood years and frightened me considerably. I was particularly frightened by a premonitive dream of the death of a relative. Though my sharp intuition saved my younger brother and me from a three-car collision that came crashing into our swing set seconds after I dragged him away, I told no one of these premonitions and precognitive experiences. As I entered into adolescence and the busier lifestyle of a quiet and sensitive, but active, teenager, I became devoted to sharing my emotions with my piano and exploring the graceful expression of my emotions through Kathak, an Indian classical style of dance.

I was also keenly interested in health and illness, and began to study anatomy, physiology and pathology through any means possible. My intuitive abilities seemingly diminished, and I was relieved, but I still felt everything very deeply. I found it a struggle to be around too many people and became a devout introvert, convinced that I would never feel comfortable in this world. I had yet to learn labels such as empath, clairsentient, INFJ and highly sensitive person, but I knew I was different from the people around me. At the age of sixteen, my intuition saved me yet again by urging me to have my flight booking changed on September 5, 1986, effectively keeping me off hijacked Pan Am Flight 73. 

Following that incident, I could no longer ignore that I seemed to receive information from the ethers, and with a relentless ascendant in Pisces, my intuitive gifts could not be fully occluded for long. They began to resurface during college; only this time, I was less afraid and considerably more intrigued, though a more focused exploration of my gifts would not come into play for many years still.

As one would expect, I was drawn to the fields of medicine, psychology, cognitive science, anthropology, parapsychology and mysticism. I received my B.S. in Psychology and Anthropology with a minor in religion and continued my master's studies in primatology and psychology. I abruptly left academics to become a mother of four and subsequently co-founded a natural personal care ingredients company with my partner. In the tides of protecting my children and family from the world of Western medicine that did not have their best interests at heart, I found homoeopathy and fell in love with its understanding of health and its holistic way of cure. I had finally found something that linked back to my innate understanding of spirit and Spirit as One. And though that felt like the beginning of my journey as a Lightworker, I see now that my journey started well before the timeline of this incarnation.  

If one were to run their fingers along my bookcases, they would find a telling tale of my spiritual quest through natural home birth, the healing power of touch, herbal medicine, homoeopathy, natural medicine, aromatherapy, nutrition, dreamwork, Buddhism, Hinduism, energy medicine, meditation, the path of Non-Dual Inquiry, quantum science, quantum healing, Reiki, poetry as medicine, shamanism and psychedelics as medicine. And while this tale might reveal the teachings intrinsic to who I am, it is my story of synchronicities that meaningfully expresses the alchemy of the elixir that I share, because despite years of study, I was still missing the catalytic event that would turn my spiritual inquiry and intuitive gifts into embodied wisdom, or what I call “Butterfly Medicine”.
