Looking back, I now know many of these experiences throughout my childhood and young adult life were psychic and/or mediumship in nature.
Like many young people I went off to college not knowing what I wanted to ‘be when I grew up’ and decided to focus on a degree in psychology. About the same time, I was discovering cooking, and soon found it was my passion. So, I left college and enrolled in culinary school. After graduation, I spent the next 12 years in the field, working first as a cook, then chef and later as the Assistant Food Service Director.
During my time working as the Assistant Food Service Director, my intuition began opening in a powerful, undeniable way. The information I was receiving proved to be very accurate. The problem was I still didn’t realize what was going on and worried that I might be going crazy. So, I made the decision to see a therapist.
After explaining my experiences to her, in the most compassionate and supportive tone she said, “So, you want me to tell you that you are gifted?” I was so confused. “Gifted with what?” I said.
During this same period of time a friend suggested I see a Shaman. Not knowing what a Shaman was, I was a little hesitant to see one. My friend was so sure this was the right direction; I agreed and scheduled an appointment.
In that first session, the Shaman told me, “They have been trying to get your attention for years.” I said, “They who?” She responded, “The Spirits. You are incredibly gifted.” Trusting in her guidance, I started practicing and learning about my gifts. As my skills developed and my confidence grew, I felt that I’d landed on my true calling. And from that moment on, I have fully dedicated my life to this work.
