How and when did you discover your psychic gifts, and can you share your backstory?
I know this may sound cliché, but I feel like this life chose me; I didn’t necessarily grow up wanting to do all of this, but over the years, I’ve learned you can’t run from who you are, no matter how much you’d like to. I am a fourth-generation Psychic Medium. This work runs in my blood. Since childhood, I’ve had clairvoyant and intuitive abilities. For me, this manifested as seeing people’s energies (auras), where on their body they were in pain or discomfort, and where (and how) their body pressure needed to be applied to release stagnant energies. After years without guidance or training on using these gifts, my Mother decided that formal training would help me harness and improve my natural abilities. Luckily, I found a teacher in my hometown to tutor me in Reiki at 15. At that age, I wasn’t exactly running around and shouting about my abilities from the rooftops; I kept to myself about what I was experiencing, just trying to appear like an ordinary teenage girl. I spent most of my twenty’s still trying to blend in, working full-time in banking and taking classes full-time at local community colleges before completing my Bachelor of Arts in Communication at Arizona State University.
During school breaks and holidays, I would continue to take personal development courses and additional training to enhance my psychic skills. After completing my degree, I moved into the insurance industry to maintain a regular 9-5 schedule and eventually have a healing practice. The more time I focused on my psychic business, the greater my abilities opened up, to the point where it began to interfere with day to day job. I was at a crossroads where it felt like I had to continue to enhance my psychic abilities or maintain an insurance career. This was the first time I trusted myself instead of taking the safe road. I chose to leave a stable job with a long-term career path to follow my passion to find my happiness. Trying to figure out what to do with my newly opened daytime, I organized some notes from workshops I had been teaching at local healing centers. Before long, it manifested into my first book, the Amazon best-selling Shift Happens! 21 Days to Better Energy Through the Chakras. In the days following publishing my book, I went on an Ancestral Healing Retreat in Sedona, where I met the love of my life, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. And now, I’m thrilled to be able to help people with my gifts instead of hiding from them. I am the Reiki Practitioner at Macri Wellness Center in Gilbert, AZ. Clients come to see me from across the country because of my abilities. I no longer have to hide from my gifts; now, they’re celebrated and revered.
What forms and techniques of Energy Healing do you use?
My first formal training was in Reiki, but I could manipulate energy before receiving attunements. Reiki is a healing practice that uses gentle touch or the placement of hands-on or near a person’s body. It is based on the belief that every living being has a universal energy that flows through and around our bodies. Sometimes this energy can get blocked or imbalanced, and we may feel unwell or stressed. Reiki aims to help restore balance by channeling energy through the practitioner’s hands to the person receiving it. It’s a fantastic way to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body’s natural healing process. Most of my clients come to me for Reiki services as that is an energy healing modality they’ve familiar with. Over the years, I’ve collected numerous other energetic modalities in my toolbox that help with complex, unusual, or unique situations.
As an Intuitive Life Coach, what ideas and principles do you base your coaching on?
My job as a life coach is to help my clients achieve their goals by providing guidance, support, and motivation. During Life Coaching sessions, we look at the individual’s mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets and how they affect their long-term dreams and aspirations. Often, there is a hyper-focus on one or two of these aspects, creating an imbalance for the individual. We start with small, manageable goals that allow the individual to gain momentum in achieving a larger purpose and better balance. Together, we create an action plan, so the individual can confidently move forward. I also act as an accountability partner to help them stay focused and committed. I encourage my clients to explore their emotions as they come up, help them stay motivated during difficult times, and celebrate their achievements along the way. In addition, I help clients develop critical life skills, improve self-confidence, and enhance self-awareness, providing tools, resources, or exercises to foster personal growth and self-improvement.
What sets you apart from other Psychic readers and Energy Healers?
What sets me apart from other psychics and energy healers is that I was born into this world. I didn’t come into this world because of a pretty aesthetic or because it was a popular thing to do. I grew up in a family where discussing psychic phenomena was normal and celebrated. This isn’t something I just learned a few years ago; this is an integral part of who I am. Another thing that sets me apart is how I can see the world, both energy-wise (clairvoyance) and as someone who has experienced a profound personal transformation. I live a life I never dreamed possible and empower my clients to do the same from a genuine space. Often when my clients find me, they are ready for transformation, looking to shed a way of life that is no longer healthy or helpful to where they want to be. I help my clients transform their lives holistically, addressing all aspects of mind, body, and spirit.
You are also an author. Can you tell us a bit about that part of your work?
Yes, thank you for asking! My goals with writing have always been to make complex spiritual concepts understandable and accessible to everyone. One of the things that I am incredibly proud of is my first book, Shift Happens! 21 Days to Better Energy Through the Chakras. I created this interactive guidebook as a fun, easy way to learn about the chakra system while providing practical methods of easily integrating chakra work into a daily routine. I walk the reader through the seven main chakras, exploring real-life applications of what chakra imbalances can look like using my own entertaining experiences as examples. Shift Happens! was making waves on Amazon within days of its release, hitting the #1 New Release spot on the Chakra Chart, which was a huge honor as a new, independent author. Shift Happens! has been featured in a popular gift subscription box and used as the textbook in chakra classes nationwide. Most recently, I had an essay entitled “On the Importance of Spiritual Hygiene” published in The Feminine Macabre Volume V: A Woman’s Journal of All Things Strange and Unusual.
