As a child, I was very intrigued by anything relating to natural health, psychology, or metaphysics.  I might catch something on tv or in a magazine that would get my attention and really spark my interest.

One of my earlier memories was of a little book about palm reading that my mom had lying around.  I remember sitting on the floor in the family room, reading and studying the illustrations in the book and then trying to find the lines on my own small hand.  I was about eight years old.

I felt a deep connection with God.

I was raised Jewish and although not very religious in the traditional sense, I remember how full my heart felt after attending services with my family.   This connection lead me to trust that God was loving; that he was moving the pieces of life in such a way, that the outcome in any situation would be the best for everyone.

I never prayed for “things”. Even when blowing out the candles on my birthday cake, I always said silently, “Thank you, God” for all I had and wished for happiness for everyone present.  

Somehow I understood that God couldn’t bring me toys but that even better, he could bring me opportunities for joy.

Well, even with this innate wisdom, my journey of personal growth and self discovery didn’t truly begin until I was in my late twenties.

My path was very winding.  It lead me to many cities, jobs, relationships, and studies.  It was a good path.  I worked hard, enjoyed life, and took pride in my achievements.  But there were definitely stops along the way that were overwhelming and full of anxiety and stress.  And still others that were truly heartbreaking.

It wasn’t until I merged my spiritual path with my life path that things started to make sense.

Bringing God back into my life in a more universal way and studying Reiki taught me to see things from a higher perspective; to honor myself by creating healthy boundaries, and to shift my mindset so that my choices would get me closer to what really mattered to me.  

This awakening didn’t happen overnight and it wasn’t all roses and rainbows.  Far from it!

I had to get real.  I had to ask myself some deep soul searching questions, and sometimes I had to make hard, unpopular decisions.  Ultimately, I showed up.  And I simply committed myself to living my life more consciously and authentically.  

Once I did, the Universe was better able to work for me and through me.   Remember those “pieces of life” I mentioned above?  Well, those pieces started falling into place and I began to attract relationships and opportunities aligned with my true desires and goals.

In divine timing, the love of my life appeared and my life purpose was revealed.

When times are tough, it helps me to remember that we’re here for a reason;  that each of us have chosen to be here, at this particular time in history.

I believe we’re here to learn and to grow in acceptance of ourselves and others as well as to love and enjoy our human experience.

If there is something holding you back from opening your heart and living the life of your dreams, I’d be honored to guide you on your path toward healing and wholeness.
