My passion is working with trans and queer people, especially in navigating self, presence and identity. I also write letters required for gender-affirming care, such as surgery. I'm trained as a psychic, so another passion of mine is Spiritual Guidance. This is for clients who are interested in accessing deeper parts of self and connecting to their essence, through energy work. Psychic readings, visualizations, past life readings and energy healings are all within my scope of practice. I believe that healing is a conglomeration of body and spirit, and one cannot exist without the other.
