My whole life I have been pulled to this role as Minister. From the time I was very young, people always felt comfortable talking with me and sought me out for counsel. I spent most of my time growing up researching and learning about as many religions as I could. I wanted to find Universal Truth. My studies and life experiences led me to understand that Love is at the core of everything and Fear exists so we can identify Love. While I've been very Spiritual my whole life, I finally decided to become a Minister in 2017 when I left the corporate world and became a Spiritual Healer full time. Best life path decision I've ever made.

I was raised in the Southeastern United States and grew up specifically in Jacksonville, FL. I consider Northeast Florida my home.

The opportunity to help others heal themselves and empower them to live more joy filled lives. The opportunity to help others rediscover themselves and reclaim their sense and understanding of the Divine, however they name it. The opportunity to offer some of the traditional services of an Ordained Minister without judgement or dogma.

While I am a minister with Universal Life Church and was raised in the Christian Faith (Methodist), I consider myself more Spiritual than religious. My life experiences have brought me to this place of understanding that everyone's path to God/Divine is their own, and everyone's is correct. Love is really the center of it all.

I always take the time to get to know each person individually and as a couple. This helps me craft the ceremony specifically for them, taking into consideration what makes them and their relationship special. This is especially helpful if the couple is not sure what they wish to say to each other during vow exchange on their special day.

Northeast Florida, in particular the Saint Augustine, FL area.

As with my marriage ceremonies, I always get to know the people I am providing services to. This allows me to provide a personalized service whether I'm officiating at a Funeral, House Blessing, Christening or any other service that is needed. I especially love empowering people I work with when offering Spiritual Guidance, Spiritual Healing, Reiki and General Ministry duties.
