How long have you been in the industry,
and how did you get started?
I’ve been in the industry for 7 years and I
got started when I was taking a break from teaching and managing a crystal
shop. I had graduated from Doreen Virtue’s Angel Intuitive Course about 10
years ago and used to practice readings on customers to ‘tune’ in to see what
they needed, and found loads of people would come in and urge me to become a
professional reader. From then I decided to do a ThetaHealing course and fell
in love with it. I started combining angel therapy and Theta healing with
energetic healing, and after about a year of building up clients, I got
frequent requests to run courses and workshops on how to do what I do in my
sessions.
So I’m lucky because I got to combine my
two great loves- healing and teaching!
What do you like the most about your
profession?
I
love working with energy and angels to shift people from life-long patterns and
see the miraculous transformations that can take place in someone’s life when
they are willing to go into their swamp and heal their deepest wounds and
fears. I think it takes tremendous bravery to face your shadow and make a
concerted effort to try to heal the parts of your life that aren’t working, so
I’m always really excited when I can be part of that process for my clients. I
also love doing past-life regressions because they can be so out there!

As a teacher, nothing beats the thrill of
bearing witness to one of your students discovering their own gifts, and
feeling that sense of ‘coming home’ or belonging. I also am a big believer in helping my
students and clients become so aware of their own magic and power that they
trust their intuition enough so that they no longer need to see psychics or
healers.
My other biggest kicks come from helping
someone overcome their fears about following a career of passion and joy, and
discovering they really have what it takes to succeed at it. It’s an absolute
blessing to be able to be a part of someone’s soul journey in this way!
What is the most challenging aspect?
I think the most challenging aspect is
disconnecting from your client’s and your student’s pain and patterns. As a
healer and teacher it can be really easy to feel helpless when you can see the
people you are working with are struggling to sift through their baggage and
fears, especially if they are not willing to take any responsibility for their
journey. Balancing compassion with ‘you need to own your stuff’ can be a
difficult journey- but for the most part I find myself lucky that it’s rare
that I attract a client or student who isn’t willing to go within to find the
answers- or take some responsibility. (but not too much!) People can often
expect a healer to just be able to ‘fix’ everything, and while healer’s can be
great facilitators for incredible shifts in someone’s life- everyone really
needs to be able to do some work on themselves in order to experience their own
power (otherwise they end up just giving all their power to a healer or
psychic!)
Whom do you look up to in your profession,
and why?
I
have always loved Louise Hay - her books are what started me on my own healing
journey 21 years ago and I love her role in helping the world discover the
power of self-love and forgiveness.
Doreen Virtue is a great instructor who I
admire for bringing angel work to the mainstream and her tireless efforts to
promote a better world for intuitives.
One of my two biggest inspirations have
been healers I have had: I worked with an incredibly gifted anthroposophical
homeopath years ago called Lisa Romero who introduced me to the soul’s journey
with healing which still inspires me today and I have a Network chiropractor
called Euan Macmillan in Sydney who is an absolute magician at helping me clear
my stuff.

What is your favorite social media platform (professional or personal) and why?
Facebook.
I like it because it’s the one I use most. I have tried others like Twitter and Google Plus etc- but I never really got the hang of hanging out there- whereas
I enjoy the format of Facebook (plus the 144 character thing drove me bonkers
in Twitter!:)
What forms of social media do you use to
advance your career?
I use Facebook to connect with other
entrepreneurs and to gain insight, wisdom and knowledge about the business
aspect of my professions. I also have Facebook pages attached to my onlineUdemy courses which helps my students come together as a community and practice
the skills my courses teach.
I also have a Facebook page where I have
free daily readings where I interpret cards for the [people who like my page] and
offer channelled insights into what may lie ahead for the day and how to manage
it. With my Udemy courses I use Facebook a lot to access the Udemy faculty
lounge to discover new ways to enhance my student’s learning experiences.

What social media advice would you give a newcomer to your profession?
The first biggie is avoid the beginners
mistake of posting anything that resembles ‘buy my course buy my course buy my
course.’ Everyone is exhausted with being marketed
to- so the best advice is to build relationships based on common interests.
Offer solutions when you can and get to know your potential customers. There
are loads of ways you can build likes on Facebook- but I suggest never ‘buy’
likes from Fivrr or other sites as this severely damages your Facebook algorithm.
I have never advertised on Facebook- lots
of people have success with it- but I am a bit reluctant to because I have
tried to contact Facebook when I have had problems with my page and they have
never gotten back to me. I’ve also spoken to other entrepreneurs who have spent
a fortune for very little result. I am aware however that FB advertising does
work for some people- but it hasn’t been my experience.
There are loads of courses and Facebook
gurus who will promise to ‘double your likes’ be very wary about what you
invest in. There’s tons of free or relatively inexpensive information out
there.
My best advice of all is read ‘How to Winfriends and Influence People’ by Dale Carneigie. That has been one of my
greatest assets in using Facebook even though it was written decades ago!

Are there any current or upcoming projects you’d like to plug?
I’ve just started working on an online
tarot course which should be ready for publication in about 6 weeks- and my
flagship How to Be Psychic online course on Udemy is my current active project.
The course is designed for beginners who
are curious about improving their psychic gifts in a safe and supportive way.
It helps you connect with your angels and spirit guides and discover new ways
to determine what your next best moves are in your career and finances and
relationships. It’s filled with meditations and videos to help you do psychic
readings for yourself or professionally – and also helps protect you from
negative people and situations.
It has a lifetime access so you can take as
long as you need to complete it and I regularly update it with new lectures
with the latest skills and techniques to enhance clairvoyance and other
abilities.
There is also a Facebook page [for students] where you can
practice readings and receive readings and find access more resources to build
your intuitive gifts.
What is your favorite quote?
It’s from the Course of Miracles (and is quoted by Marianne Williamson in her
book Return to Love- which I am a
huge fan of): “Our greatest tool for changing the world
is our capacity to change our mind about the world.”
I am such a huge believer that our minds
are the most powerful instruments in which we can implement great miracles and
changes in our life.
