How Did I Get Here?
After a lifetime of witnessing magical occurrences, I knew it was time to invite my angels and guides into my busy schedule and wave my freak flag for all to see.
“Get on with it!” they said. My helpers are pushier than hell.
When I could no longer ignore all the signs, omens, dreams and late night visions, I gave in and found a good teacher, Corin Grillo and ‘got on with it.’. Corin was the perfect teacher for me, a wise authentic healer-channeler, author and former psychotherapist with a big heart and a sense of humour that I related to immediately.
I never thought for a minute, I would call myself an angel healer…being an artist has proven difficult enough in my life.
After spending 9 years working with clients as an art therapist, I realized it has been my intuition that has guided me through sessions. The less I have planned, the more I have intuited the direction of a session… to the point, that my suggestions and questions have often been in sync with my clients’ thoughts.
Two or three years into my practice, one of my long time clients said, “You’re downloading, aren’t you?”
It had not occurred to me that I was channelling until she called me on it. You’d think I would have noticed.
It got me thinking about my creative process as an artist and writer and how I have received my ideas and concepts. Creative ideas and even full scripts had appeared in my dreams. I have always channeled my art, why would it be any different as a therapist? It is collaboration with the other side!
What has become quite clear to me is that when I work from my heart, without intellectualizing to death about how magic works, possibility is born and my muse spreads her energetic wings and takes me through this dense physical reality with more grace and ease.
I believe this applies to everyone. You are a magician of your own reality and can access your magic from your heart connection. It may take brain-rewiring practice, meditation, nature, art, yoga, music, exercise, or whatever brings you joy and peace and keeps you in the present. It is simple love that brings us back to the living…and remembering who we are in this world and what our purpose is. Being here now in our bodies and not projecting into the future or dwelling on our past is not always an easy task.
My gig as a healer is to guide you back to your heart with the expertise of your guides, angels, ancestors, and your higher self. The truth is they do a lot of the work. I’m just a decoder.
I have witnessed magic, whether I call the energies I’ve met creator, guides, angels, spirit animals or ancestors, or all the above… the fact is, they are a colourful bunch. They are as real as anyone I’ve ever met in a physical body.
This healing work with these beings has inspired me in all aspects of my life.
I also deeply believe in art as medicine. That is why my energy healing sessions often include art.
Art and therapy have saved my life! I believe art and spiritual work are interconnected, much like the philosophy behind holistic medicine; the approach combines a treatment for the whole person, mentally, spiritually, and physically.
I also have very high regards for other alternative therapies as well, like EMDR, EFT, and somatic therapy which have also proven beneficial for lots of folks suffering with PTSD.
I believe in therapy as much as I believe in angels and guides. AND I stand by the importance of shadow work and so do my angels!
The other day, I was thinking about how so many folks never face their dark side…and I get it…it’s not a cake walk, but as a result of not working with our shadow, spiritual by-passing as well as other addictive behavior becomes a big shiny distraction.
Just as I thought this, a shadow hand-puppet of a rabbit flashed in my head with the words ‘pesky rabbit’.
I howled.
My celestial team have a good sense of humour for a reason. They know I have struggled with my own assorted distractions! I’m human.
Every damn morning, I secretly want to languish about eating bon-bons all day and shop on Etsy. Sigh.
I continuously remind myself that my angels and ancestors are not hired help. And my desire for laziness and luxury is from another life that I just can’t seem to shake. lol
But I’ve got a job to do and so do you…you wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t have a calling !
Our top secret sensitivities and gifts are now required so that we can better heal ourselves and our beautiful planet.
For some healing sessions, I draw from my bag of tools that I have been using in my exart therapy practice for the past 10 years…sound work, EFT, movement, (Qi Gong, dance), archetypal work, creative writing, drawing, and meditation.
Let’s face it, our chakras get depleted and congested by our stuck emotions and other people’s energies. These tools assist with releasing what no longer serves us, so we can embody the beautiful geniuses that we are.
You are a beautiful genius!
And I look forward to working with you, (if I were a dog I’d be wagging my tail here).

Diane is an incredible medium! She perfectly channelled my aunt and father and some other beings I was able to 100% validate. Diane helped me and my entire family clear some very deep ancestral burdens and I feel so much lighter as a result, even a day after our session!
