My Family and Childhood
I come from a family of artists, mediums, scientists and spiritually expansive people. This line goes back longer than I can trace Click Edith's Journal to see some channeling done by my Great Aunt Lillie in the 30's and recorded by my grandmother Edith.

I knew as a child there was no death, and astral traveled around the neighborhood at night because it was magical, quiet and open. I was conscious of the fairies and elementals in my mother's garden. I know when an area of land is healthy and good by their presence. I am aware of  many guides and Ascended Masters who help me with my work and my path in  life. My guides have told me it is my path in this lifetime to be a spiritual  healer. I can help people release their illnesses, but mostly I have been asked to clear the pain, fear and energy blocks that keep us from seeing our true selves. I can also help people make decisions about different areas of their lives.

I  have been a student of metaphysics, science and psychology all of my  life. I never thought of myself as a psychic as a child and felt mostly out of  place. I  was too empathic and healed everyone around me. However, partly because  of a vision I had of my deceased grandfather at a young age and a spiritually  aware teacher who came into my life at the age of 9, I was set on the path of spiritual awareness that could not be denied.

A strange woman in a speech class in college led me to the Berkeley Psychic Institute where I completed their Clairvoyant Program. Visions directed me to study human evolution, biology, geology and paleontology at UC Berkeley and I went on to study Ice Age paleontology in the Quaternary Studies Master's Program at Northern Arizona University. The  land in Arizona spoke to my soul, as well. My guides have said paleontology is part of my path... to help humanity see our potential and to understand our origins on this planet, but is also for me to remember where I have been.

I also have a master's degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis on Jungian, depth philosophy from the Pacifica Graduate Institute. The field of  Psychology was too much in denial about Spirit for me until Transpersonal and Spiritual Psychology came along. These relatively recent incarnations of psychology addressed the spirit and the numinous which are what make us what we are. Carl Jung was a Transpersonal Psychologist before anyone understood what that was. I was directed to study Jungian psychology so I could create a professional blend between spirituality and psychology. I am an Usui Reiki Master, as well.

I don't have any specific training working with animals, but I  apply the same reading and healing principles to them that I do to people and they respond so very well! They love it when people talk to them intelligently!
