About MeI started on my creative path early in life. I came into this world as a survival miracle. After my harrowing birth and subsequent isolation, I continued to undergo much trauma growing up. I was monitored and studied heavily for the first few years of my life due to my high mental acuity. I have always been more of a lone wolf and found it hard to relate to my peers, especially in my youth. I was able to connect with my heart through nature, music and being present. As a precocious youngster, I could be found outside in the natural world hanging out with the animal and nature spirits, as well as riding my bicycle to freedom. That's where I found my solace, along with music and books. One of my happy places was in the local library where I would 'Choose my own adventure' and delve into the world of mystery with Nancy Drew, therefore racking up my reading tally for the 'Pizza Hut Book Club'. Along the way, I grew a fondness for horses and learned how to ride in the country. I came out of my shell and really blossomed in High School, becoming a Leader in many organizations. I experimented with teamwork in sports (basketball was my life for 6 years, GO WILDCATS!), theatre, marching band and choir, along with running the Newspaper. In my senior year, I was awarded the DAR Good Citizen Award.
After growing up all over the east side of the States, I was drawn to Central Florida to attend liberal arts school, Rollins College, to study International Business with a focus on the Music Industry. Besides music, I filled my college time with running the entertainment committee, putting together the Newspaper graphically, involving myself with the student government as well as rowing for the Crew team. You could spot me on campus with the hand painted burnt orange car! I worked in the Music Business for 7 years putting on live concerts, scouting talent and managing up and coming artists in Orlando, London and Hollywood. I also worked intermittently over time both at 91.5 WPRK and Park Ave CD's. Favorite acts I booked stateside include Matt Nathanson, Kill Hannah, Blu Sanders, July for Kings, Telepopmusik, Emm Gryner, Matt MacKelcan, Something Corporate, Big Sky and Howie Day. I found myself in London in the early 2000s, spending my nights tearing up Camden town seeing magical bands & artists whilst putting on concerts above The Enterprise pub. My favorite artist I booked in London was definitely Magnet. I still get chills thinking about the phenomenal show. It held maybe 75 people. I saw a lot of UK talent in the most intimate settings including The Kills, Goldfrapp, Franz Ferdinand, Damien Rice, Amy Winehouse, Elbow, Keane, Snow Patrol, Starsailor, Doves, David Gray, The Darkness, The Streets, Ladytron, Muse and The Libertines. It was a very special time for music in London town. I almost stayed in London after narrowly missing an opportunity to work at MTV London. C'est la vie! While living in Hollywood, I quenched my Live Music thirst by working with Koffeehouse Music Productions. As I'm in love with all things entertainment, I decided to dip my toe in the acting world and studied under the infamous acting coach, Ivan Markota. I was able to exercise my savvy skills on many of my favorite productions including True Blood, Grey's Anatomy and The West Wing, along with Butch Walker and Snow Patrol music videos, as well as seeing some of my favorite reality shows live, including American Idol (Adam Lambert singing 'Born to be Wild!') and Big Brother. My next entrepreneurial chapter was as a Personal Chef & Wellness Coach, educating and empowering others with my magical food & guidance. I always knew I was meant for something bigger with a larger impact. Then I jumped head first into the Metaphysical world. Which wasn't a complete shock as I was always intrigued with the esoteric and spiritual realms. My mother was trained as a Reiki Master back in the 80s. I've been devouring knowledge and schooling ever since. My training has taken me to magical places all over the globe. I hold Certifications in Sound Medicine, Quantum Activation, Intuitive Wisdom, Energetic Breathwork, Reiki Mastership, Life Coaching, Tarot, Numerology, Tuning Forks, Dimensional Therapy, Health & Wellness and Graphic Design. I can penetrate deeply into your soul and path. As an Ordained Minister, I am also able to marry you and your beloved in a sacred ceremony. I am a wealth of knowledge through extensive study, training & experimentation throughout my life with Nutrition, Wellness, Metaphysics, Relationships, Healing Arts, Energy, Frequency & Sound, Numerology, Psychology, Love, Empowerment, Human Design and Spiritual Development and, as such, offer many different modalities to help Lightworkers reach their highest potential to then transform the collective. I bring passion, sensitivity, integrity, compassion and love into all my work. I was called to Orlando and fell in love with Florida on arrival and have made it my home base.... by way of many cities all over the Globe. Having Wanderlust, I travel often, but always return home to Central Florida.......eventually. I am a 5 Life Path after all! I felt viscerally that I was destined to be rooted in Orlando, especially as it's being alchemized by the Lightworker collective to be the "New Sedona" aka the IT spiritual community of Healers. I recently discovered that I am a Lightbeing Starseed. I always knew I was different, and now I understand why. I've lived over 3000 lives all over the galaxy, dimensions and star systems which has given me high sensitivity and advanced abilities. In 2023, Luminara was born from the powerful bond of three best friends - myself, Jennifer and Angi - combining our intuitive gifts to guide others on a journey of healing, transformation and awakening. Together, we host transformative retreats and events every month, empowering individuals to reconnect with their highest selves and live with purpose and alignment. I currently offer my Intuitive gifts, services, teachings and workshops at establishments around Orlando, privately at my Orlando office as well as virtually. Averaging at 1,500 Readings per year, I was awarded Best Life Coach in Winter Park in 2022. Besides traveling, I spend my free time exploring, taking my inner foodie out to play, devouring new knowledge & studying, practicing the art of being open, authentic, seen and vulnerable, involving myself with music & cultural events, connecting with others, being in nature and generally having FUN! I allow the chi of life to run through me and spend my days grabbing life by the horns and diving in with passion and curiosity! |
