I have been working with clients as a Intuitive Career and Business Coach since 2004. Much of my intuitive ability has evolved over time. In my coaching practice I use my intuition to help me ask the best questions and choose the best tools for a particular client and session. I also pass along words, song lyrics, images, and books that I believe will have meaning to my client and help them move forward. In my personal life I use my intuition to choose which food, supplements and books to buy (which will benefit me the most), which practitioners are a good match for me, which conferences I will find useful, and more. Sometimes I have new coincidences and strange experiences, and I have to figure out what they mean. I incorporate them if they are useful in either my personal life, or in working with clients.
I have received training in my intuitive abilities from many people. Sometimes it was through classes, and other times it was by hiring them as a practitioner. I have taken classes on dowsing and psychic development. I have experienced and practised many different kinds of meditation: guided drumming circles, Transcendental Meditation, guided meditation, forgiveness meditation, and merkaba meditation. I would like to acknowledge these teachers for guiding me:
Edwin Farnsworth, Lorie Gibson, The Questers Society, Bill Askin, Virginia Smith, Kim Bothwell, Walt Woods, Joalene Andrews, Alice Brock, Ellie Drew, Joey Korn, and Thomas Moore.
I relied on my intuition in the conventional way as a child and young adult. If I got a bad feeling about the guy walking towards me, I crossed the street or walked in a different direction. I made some decisions because it felt like the right thing to do. As a teenager I read Science Fiction novels and a few books on ESP, and watched Star Wars movies. I didn’t confuse those ideas with “the real world”. I started out my University education in the Faculty of Science, where things were measured, tested, and proven. I did wonder, however, whether any of the SciFi ideas were possible, or would be possible in the future.
I haven’t always held conventional ideas. I took confirmation classes at the local Anglican church at the age of twelve. When I was given the exercise of proving to my partner that God exists, I told him that it was just a matter of how you define God. If you define God as whatever was out there before the Big Bang, then of course God exists. During church we were supposed to read certain passages out loud altogether. I only read the ones that I agreed with, and was silent during the rest. Although I don’t currently attend church, I do believe in God, and that we are all connected, but I don’t believe that my beliefs are everyone else’s truth.
In February 2003 I went to see Edwin Farnsworth to learn how I could become healthier. He used a pendulum to check for food intolerances and other health factors. He seemed to know a couple things about me that he shouldn’t have been able to guess. I was intrigued. Several months later my friend Kelly O’Halloran invited me to guided drumming meditations led by Lorie Gibson, and I started to learn how to use my own intuition to guide me. I have been exploring and learning ever since then.
