When I was in middle school, I started sensing information in the energy around me, and I had some bewildering experiences. I predicted someone’s death in a dream. My grandmother’s spirit visited me minutes after she passed away. Sometimes I’d sense information surrounding a person, place, or event that I couldn’t explain, or an outcome before it happened.
Those experiences tapered off as I got older, then came back in full force when I was pregnant.
I didn’t know at the time that life stages like adolescence and pregnancy can shift your internal chemistry in ways that heighten sensitivity, but they can. And for me, it got intense enough that I decided to study what was going on instead of pushing it away.
What I didn’t understand then, but do now, is that this kind of sensitivity isn’t rare or special. It’s something people experience every day, just often more subtly. It is not mystical or for people with a “gift.” It’s built in. It’s a kind of perceptive awareness that humans have relied on for survival for thousands of years.
I learned that when you shift your internal state, your brainwave patterns, your level of focus, your physiological “receptivity,” you can access that information more clearly. That’s not abstract; it’s a real, measurable shift in how the brain and body are operating.
Over the past several years, I’ve trained with intuitive teachers including James Van Praagh, Laura Day, and Andy Byng. As part of that work, I began giving intuitive and mediumship readings.
During readings, I started to notice that most people who came to me already knew, on some level, what was going on. They just weren’t hearing it clearly, or they dismissed it as just another thought instead of something worth paying attention to.
There’s real value in getting outside insight. It can be incredibly helpful, and it has its place.
But there’s also something powerful about being able to sense and trust your own read on a situation. That’s where my focus shifted.
Now, instead of giving answers, I teach people how to access information for themselves—how to recognize intuitive signals, test them, and use them in real life.
It’s a skill. And like any skill, it gets stronger the more you practice using it.
