I am an author, publisher, artist, Intuitive Energy Healer, Psychic, Medium, and Inspirational Life Mentor. Across my work, I return to questions of perception, inner knowing, creativity, truth, beauty, the multidimensional nature of experience, and what becomes visible when the hidden or obscured is brought into awareness.
My work has unfolded through different disciplines and chapters of my life, each with its own history and integrity. Increasingly, those strands are speaking to one another through my books, art practice, intuitive and healing work, mentoring, and Big Picture Purpose®.
A Life of Curiosity, Making, and Experience
I have been making things for as long as I can remember. As a child, creativity moved naturally through drawing and painting, writing, movement, dance, music, cooking, imagination, and whatever materials, sounds, flavors, or ideas were at hand.
Humor and improvisation were part of it too. When I was around eight years old, at a Christmas Eve family gathering, I arranged to be introduced for an impromptu performance. I entered with my back to the room, turned around, stretched my arms out to either side, and began to shimmy—revealing five or six oranges tucked into the front of my leotard. The shock and laughter were immediate. One family member even made a special call the next day, still laughing about it.
That impulse to create, surprise, play, embrace humor and sometimes absurdity, and invite others in has stayed with me.
It still appears quite literally on the dance floor. If I find myself dancing alone, I may toss an imaginary lasso toward someone at the edge and playfully reel them in. Some join me. Some do not. Either way, I keep smiling and dancing.
My interest in language and cultures also began early, with exposure to Norwegian and, over the years, study of Spanish, Latin, Italian, Japanese, and German. Those experiences, along with extensive travel and living abroad in Japan, deepened my interest in people, places, beliefs, traditions, and the many ways human beings create meaning.
My life has also included restaurant ownership and entrepreneurship, motherhood, homeschooling and caregiving, volunteering and advocacy, corporate work, and decades of close work with others.
The path has not been linear or uniformly quiet. I have helped, questioned, challenged, confronted what needed confronting, fought for what mattered, and at times withdrawn into solitude to listen, recover, create, and reconsider. I can be irreverent and salty, fierce when something matters, deeply reflective, and compassionate.
Intuition, dreams, synchronicities, inner imagery, and moments of knowing have also helped guide my direction. Over time, I have learned to recognize receptivity and flow—and to notice when forcing an outcome pulls me away from what I know inwardly.
Art, Perception, and Participation
My formal visual-art background began with painting and expanded into site-specific interdisciplinary multimedia installation. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art.
My art practice returns to people, place, perception, and the relationship between individual experience and collective meaning.
Drawing upon image, object, storytelling, performance, place, and participation, I explore how an idea, memory, question, encounter, or state of awareness can take physical form—and how the presence of another person can alter, contribute to, or become part of the experience.
That creative lineage continues through my writing, Living Art, and the work taking shape through Big Picture Purpose®.
Intuitive Work, Healing, and Mentoring
For more than 30 years, I have worked with clients through intuitive energy healing, psychic consultations, mediumship, past-life regression, and inspirational life mentoring. My intuitive work has also extended to animals, homes, properties, and businesses.
My approach honors each person’s autonomy. I listen, reflect, question, and help create room for people to recognize what may be shaping their perceptions and choices, strengthen discernment, and reconnect with their own wisdom and agency.
Sometimes that means bringing attention to something that has been overlooked, avoided, or forgotten. My purpose is not to impose an answer, but to make more room for recognition and choice.
Writing the Questions I Have Lived
My books carry many of these lifelong inquiries into another form.
Self-Doubt Solutions: Reclaim Your Wisdom begins with self-doubt but moves beneath it, inviting readers to examine inherited beliefs, perception, intuition, body wisdom, and voice; to notice where they have learned to question themselves; and to reclaim a more discerning relationship with their own knowing.
Its interactive companion, Self-Doubt Solutions Playbook: Own Your Power, publishing in December 2026, moves from reflection into lived practice through transformative pathways, embodied practices, symbolic and creative exploration, and Living Art—inviting readers to engage, experiment, create, and give form to what they are discovering within themselves.
Mystical Mantis: Is It Upside Down or Are We?, forthcoming in May 2027, opens into questions of perception, stillness, remembrance, resonance, multidimensional experience, and the nature of reality. It interweaves lived experience, storytelling, symbolic inquiry, and perspectives from others who have explored the edges of consciousness, psyche, perception, and the unseen.
Across my books are recurring questions:
What do we know?
What shapes what we perceive?
What happens when we listen differently?
What has been obscured, forgotten, or waiting to be seen?
What becomes possible when what we discover is allowed to take form?
My writing does not offer another prescribed way of being. It invites observation, responsibility, humor, discernment, and a renewed relationship with one’s own knowing.
Big Picture Purpose®
Big Picture Purpose® gathers a participatory thread that has long run through my work: reflection becoming expression, expression becoming connection, and individual experience becoming part of something shared.
The developing Big Picture Purpose Portal carries that participatory thread into shared experience through Living Art, Reading Circles, gatherings, community participation, and other evolving possibilities. It is being developed in phases so it can grow in response to what is genuinely meaningful and useful.
Through it all, I return to a relationship with the inner child—the part of us that still knows how to wonder, imagine, play, create, laugh, question, observe, take a chance, and see possibility where others may see only the familiar.
