I’ve always had an inner knowing.
Growing up in Bel Air, Maryland, even the woods and creeks spoke to me. A forest wasn't just a gathering of trees; it was an invitation to wonder, stillness, and mystery, drawing me in with fireflies and dew on leaves fresh from rain. Soon, whispers in dreams became premonitions and accurate messages for friends and family from a world beyond. My growing library of books on the metaphysical helped me master the multiple ways I could connect to Spirit. Then, as now, my intuition was stellar. It was a feeling and sense I knew I could trust.
But I would be tested because life got real.
On the outside, I had everything, married with three beautiful children in a sprawling house, living the dream. I even earned higher degrees in alternative healing and psychology and opened a thriving alternative wellness practice. But on the inside, I faded farther and farther away from myself, becoming a shadow in a world I had once felt so vividly. Something wasn't right.
So Providence stepped in to show me.
I was due to give a seminar at my wellness center when I slipped on my icy driveway and fell to the ground. A traumatic injury then confined me to home for several months. Every day I was there, everything else in my life was falling away, slipping out of grasp from my health, to my business, to my marriage. In the stillness of healing, I asked myself—why, after all these years—was this all suddenly not working? What was true? Then the fractures of my life began to break open, and anger began to arise. In trying to be the perfect wife, mother, and career woman, I left myself behind. And it took 30 years to realize it.
The truth was the life I built opposed the woman in me who longed to emerge. I had a bigger vision of myself. But how could I bring it to life when I was giving so much of myself away—to my marriage and everything else that “needed me”? What energy did I have left to move my mission forward? But blame was too easy. So why was I doing that? Because I was holding myself back out of fear and uncertainty. In doing so, I started living small, losing touch with the intuitive hits that guided me until the universe sent an undeniable sign to follow the path I was destined for.
It was time to set myself free.
Grateful for my recovery, I made three courageous decisions: First, while my partner and I remained close friends and co-parents, our values were not aligned. We separated and divorced. Second, though I suffered a health crisis, my dream and bigger vision had to go on. I had to go on. Third, creating a realm and life that was all my own was vital.
Purchasing Rockdale Manor Farm, in Fallston, Maryland, was the open door and a lifeline to begin again. While I was terrified, I returned to myself. I came home to the girl in the woods I had always been. Deep down, it was her voice I needed to trust; she was my first love always. Only when I embraced who I was, could my true destiny unfold. As I learned about the lineage of Rockdale Farm as a lifeline for wealth, creativity, and community, I knew I belonged. I felt more held by its Spirit and ready to take on its mantle. Right on time, the right people flocked to me, those I guide and those guiding me. My new home is a flurry of comings and goings. I could not be happier, more fulfilled, more alive. Now, the gift I received is the gift I want to share.
I help women discover the truth and trust of who they are so they can live authentic lives they love.
Today, more than ever, women need to find the greatest expression of themselves. Whether it is a young woman raising a family and thinking about the dream she’s left behind or an empty nester writing her next chapter, women everywhere are anxious to live their own lives. They know what they want but often face a crisis of confidence to pursue their purpose, find the courage to speak their authentic truth, and turn inner knowing into relentless action.
My “Design Your Destiny” programs combine my expertise and imagination to create a customized path for each woman to return to who they are and the lives they are meant for. I love working with women in one-on-one mentorship, master classes, and retreat experiences at my home and acreage, Rockdale Manor Farm in Fallston, Maryland. Whether in person or online, I provide the ideal space for women to find the truth so they can trust in themselves. That’s what creates better relationships, prosperity, emotional health, and peace of mind.
Developing my craft was decades in the making. After studying art and dance at Towson University, I earned a Master’s in Alternative Psychology and a PhD in Alternative and Complementary Medical Therapies at Delphi University. I owned and operated a holistic lifestyle company, Aurame, for several years.
I am tremendously proud of Rockdale Farm. Its wandering paths and intimate spaces are each a quiet invitation to find oneself. The property’s long history of community leaders, businesswomen, and luminaries is rooted in one of the country’s original thirteen colonies, which makes it the ideal place to return to origins, find independence, and rebirth. I am thankful to everyone who has been part of it. Every morning, I wake up surrounded by the trees, and sometimes, I see them standing a little taller because they know I have arrived.
