    A magical space. A little piece of heaven on earth. Clean, modern and breathtaking views. I hope to return, sooner than later. These photos are from a distance while hiking from the back side of the house.

    I feel like I have lived two different lives: the one before I awakened to my intuition and the joyful, fulfilling life I am now gratefully living. Despite an impressive resume—ivy league education, published author, and two beautiful children—I used to feel lost, overwhelmed, and anxious. My spiritual awakening began when I realized my unresolved personal issues were impacting my ability to be a supportive parent. This journey involved healing from my past, embracing my inner wisdom, and letting go of limiting beliefs. As my intuitive gifts blossomed, I discovered my ability to read people, understand their soul plans, and practice energy healing techniques.

    Professionally, I hold a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from Princeton and an M.A. in Counseling from Fairfield University. Today, as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor, I use my spiritual journey and intuitive abilities to help others awaken their own spiritual hearts, navigate life's challenges, and deepen their connection to their inner wisdom. I also offer Awakening Your Intuition retreats and my beautiful property, Cactus Blossom Retreat, in San Diego for retreat rentals.
