My Childhood
I’ve always have a very unique life. I was raised by 2 very environmentally friendly parents and I am the middle sister out of 3 girls.
We sailed around the world during my childhood years and we perused travelled over many years. During this time, I was away from the upbringing of a normal society and instead I spent my childhood with animals and sea life, away from people. I would often gaze at the stars and I was raised to appreciate the small things in life such as the wind in my face and seeing the ‘green flash’ as the sun disappeared beyond the ocean depths. I remember always looking up into the universe and asking myself, what was up there?
By the time I was 14 years old and completing my high school education in the UK, my senses where so highly enhanced that I could feel everyone’s energy and intuitively pick up what my friends were feeling. It was hard for me to ‘fit in’ due to being so empathic and sensitive.
Sailing around the world gave me the opportunity to view the world in a very different perspective. My parents raised me to see the poverty, the destruction, the beauty and the wildlife. They took me through the countries that were in war, third world countries, life threatening storms and they taught me how to survive.
From the earliest age, I’ve always remembered having voices talking in my head. When I was around my friends, I’ve always questioned myself, am I different?
When I was 17, I started to feel the signs of mediumship. I tried talking to my parents about the things I was feeling but it was difficult for them to understand. They were environmentally friendly but not spiritually inspired and so I seeked answers for both the voices in my head and the energy that I could feel and see around people.
One day, I was with my grandparents, in the city of Birmingham, and I saw a blind man selling crystals and I just knew that I had to speak to him. I stopped my grandad on the street and told him. I went up to this man and asked if if I could pay him to teach me what he knew and surprisingly, he said yes. I ventured to his home to train for a day. It was a mess and I came to the realization and truth that he was completely blind. He poored a cup of coffee for me but ended up missing the cup and the coffee went all over the floor, there was trash all over the house and I had to move clothing and papers on the sofa just for me to sit down. My grandad was with me and most definitely questioned what I was doing but I got to ask every question that I could think of and from that day forward, I knew what I could feel, sense and see was real. I had the confirmation I needed.
My Training & Work
I went on to train in holistic massage, bodywork and energy healing. I then opened up a spa on a beautiful island in the Caribbean called Bequia where my parents had started building a home. The spa became a success and with all the mega yachts that came into the island, I was soon called onto the mega yachts and started working for the rich and famous. I closed my spa after a year as I was flying with my clients more than I was on the island.
Over the duration of the next 8 years of my life, I flew around the world and lived in some of the most prestigious places. I worked with some of the most well known celebrities and with the wealthiest people in the world. I worked with royal families, politicians, sports team owners, actors and musicians and models. I flew privately and lived in the largest castles, mansions and villas. When I was 26 years old, I got invited to work for the owner of the NFL team, The Washington Redskins, and had the opportunity to move to Maryland in the USA and I worked with this family for a year.
As glamorous as this way of life may sound, I was burnt out. I constantly travelled, had never settled down, never got the opportunity to form relationships and never got to see my family. I knew in my heart that I couldn’t sustain this life style and so I stopped the traveling.
A survivor of Abuse
I met a man and I ended up marrying him after a year. This was my first long term relationship and I fell deeply in love.
My upbringing was very sheltered. I was never taught or raised with the knowledge or skills to understand what a loving relationship needed. When I say this, I mean, my parents have a long and beautiful marriage and so do my grandparents but, I didn’t have the understanding there could be people with agendas other than love. I never knew or thought that I could possibly be seduced or sucked into an abusive marriage.
The relationship only lasted 3 years. My Ex husband was violent, liked to drink, party and he was addicted to cocaine. He became very angry and violent with me and after many beatings, I hit rock bottom. I was ashamed, I was broken and I was hurt.
During the last few beatings, I was thrown down a staircase, locked in a room, strangled and held down with a taser gun to my face as he tried to rape me. At that moment, I thought that he was going to kill me, he told me he would. I received multiple injuries to my body; my shoulder blade was broken and the rib underneath it was fractured, I was bruised, broken and had lost all of my strength.
It was at this point in my life where I felt that I had lost everything and I didn’t know how I was going to survive. One day and while he was at work, I fell to the floor, I screamed, I cried and I begged. On my knees, I asked the universe for help. “Please help me”, “I need you”, “I know you are there and I am begging you to help me, please, I need your help”. After that day, I found the courage and strength to get my own apartment and move out.
After numerous visits through the medical system and after a couple of x rays in the hospital, I was referred to a couple of spinal specialists. I was told I had multiple fractures in my rib and I was given no choice but to have my rib taken out and be replaced by a metal plate. It would mean a very invasive surgery with a long recovery. I broke down with the news but I didn’t give up. I had never heard of such a surgery and the first thing that came to my mind was, no way can I do this.
