The Story Behind Intuition Unlocked

The Birth of a Skeptic

Over time I learned that I experience life in mysterious and magical ways. My ability to nonverbally communicate with animals, to feel other people’s feelings, to see what was unseen, and to know about my great grandmother’s death before it happened were gifts that I learned to turn off out of fear at a young age or brush aside. Later as if I completely forgot my early experiences, I became a confident skeptic.

When I thought of the word psychic, I imagined a saintlike person with exceptionally rare gifts, or a scam artist with a 1-800 number, a crystal ball, mental slides of hand, and smoke machines.

So I was surprised when a close friend with psychic abilities told me I was psychic too. I had no clue or rather...I had forgotten.

A Touch Into Remembering

During my first module of Reiki training with a dear friend, as I practiced on her at the completion of class and shared what came through she sat staring at me stunned. I wasn’t JUST practicing Reiki. I was psychically reading her system and I had no idea how I was able to know what I knew!

As my teachers, mentors, healers, friends, and later clients each concluded I was psychic, I felt terrified. Would I be viewed as a tin hat wearing woman with a neon sign that you avoid on the street corner?

Still nervous about how I would be judged, I marketed my work as "life coaching" to make it palatable to the masses. When clients came to do work with me, they were blown away by how much more they were getting. I was not JUST life coaching. I was using my psychic and intuitive abilities to heal them from past lives to present.

At first I only opened these gifts to the clients I felt I had built enough trust with. Over time I started incorporating intuitive/psychic abilities into most of my work. Eventually I could no longer hide from being psychic because the clients I worked with using my integrated methodology and framework were getting wayyyy better results than those I played it safe with.

Over time I learned to trust my abilities. I learned..to trust myself. And you can too!

Reclaiming the Word Psychic

I now identify as being psychic and spoiler alert: I don’t wear tin hats. I’m here to reclaim the word psychic for myself, for my peers, for my clients, for the world. Because being psychic can be as normal as breathing if we return to ways of being, practices, and skills we’ve long forgotten. And if we drop the stigma we’ve created around anything that doesn’t fit with our overly rationalized brain.

To support more people to experience and claim psychic (a well practiced intuitive connection), I created Intuition Unlocked.
