A Voice of Comfort, Clarity & Transformation

I speak about the unexpected moments that change our lives—the ones that break us open, wake us up, and invite us into deeper meaning. My own journey began with the sudden loss of my husband, Harry, and the extraordinary signs that followed.

Today, I help audiences explore grief, creativity, intuition, and renewal through heartfelt storytelling and the wisdom of lived experience. Whether I’m speaking to a small group or a large audience, my intention is the same: to offer comfort, clarity, hope, and a reminder that we are never truly alone.
