Hi, great to meet you!
It’s so important to get to know someone before you work with them. So allow me to introduce myself a little and give you an up close and personal insight of who I am and an overview of my evolutionary journey so far.
Many people ask me how I came to be a vibrational alchemist, medical intuitive and sound shaman. I am an ordinary, Australian-born Sicilian, who loves good food, yoga and travelling the world. I stumbled upon my gift years ago after experiencing the first of many long dark nights of the soul and the journey which ensued.
In 1998 I had severe clinical depression and had suffered a total breakdown – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It was during that long dark night of the soul when I was so incapacitated that all I could do was lie in bed in a darkened room every day that I found myself forced to examine my life and found illumination.
I remembered back 12 months earlier to the night I was awoken from my slumber at around 3am by what can best be described as a “visitation from God.” The outcome of that visit was the very clear message: “You have been searching for your talent in the physical world, but your talent is in the spiritual world. You have a great capacity to love people and you are here to be a guiding light in people's lives.”
My response was “Whoa, who me? I'm just a stay-at-home-mum, what do I know?” The very idea terrified me and so I promptly put it out of my mind and just went on with my life as usual.
So here I was lying in a darkened room for two months, bargaining with God to make me well. Isn't it interesting that at times we need to be literally brought to our knees before we pay attention?! I was greeted with “have you forgotten me, child?” and reminded of our conversation about my life purpose.
“Umm… err… ok God, you've got me there!” That's when I realised that God is not negotiable. Having been brought to my knees, I promised to be that light in the world. I would do anything to be healed and whole again.
I was already heavily into personal development and spirituality, but I didn't know what my “thing” was so I explored a number of modalities and became a practitioner of many of them.
Over the years I worked intuitively which prepared me for my first conscious channelling in 2011. It was a bit clunky at first. I was introduced to my Spirit Team whom I lovingly refer to as “the guys upstairs” and they instructed me that I would receive on-the-job training. Talk about needing trust and faith on my part! Initially I mentally edited what came through till I told my ego to take a back seat and surrendered to receiving the information and delivering it unfiltered.
Since that time the guys have orchestrated the perfect clients for me to learn and expand my gift, with each one progressively more challenging and stretching me with their on-the-job training.
I have become adept at sound healing by channelling vocal tones combined with energy that emanates from my hands. Think Reiki multiplied by a factor of 100! I am on a lifelong journey to deepen my knowledge, explore and uncover what lies deep in my soul knowledge.
The human part of me doesn't fully understand the work I do, but the results and feedback from clients around the world speak for themselves and never cease to amaze me.
In 2016 I was guided by Spirit to visit Egypt to connect with the energies of the ancients and my past lives there as a Priestess, being activated and awakening my dormant capacities. Vocally toning in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza remains a highlight of my life. Clients who had experienced my toning work prior to going to Egypt and again afterwards all commented that the tones that were coming through were much more powerful and exquisitely pure.
In 2017, once again, Spirit nudged me to travel. This time to India and Nepal to connect with the energies of eastern vocal traditions. It feels as if I was being guided to round out my vocal education. I attended a marvellous 8 day Nada Yoga retreat where I learned to sing in the Classical Hindustani tradition and Vedic chanting.
I received guidance to start incorporating instruments in conjunction with my voice. Since then I have birthed my own shamanic drum as well as collecting a Tanpura from India and a Tibetan singing moon bowl and cymbals in Nepal while on my travels.
In 2020 my journey continued with a year-long ancestral pilgrimage and spiritual sojourn to sacred sites and ancients lands in the Mediterranean region, Ireland and UK. This is currently on pause till it’s deemed safe to resume travelling again.
Where will this all lead, I don't know. I am just the faithful servant in service to humanity and sharing my unique vibration with the world. I await the next unfolding and unveiling...
