Many had wondered whether they would be able to experience such a shift in the weekend, but they were all surprised by how much more they had transformed than they thought they would.
It truly is a life changing experience and we really have so much gratitude for the women who have come along to the Unearthing the Spirit Within Retreat in 2017.
I thought I’d share with you 5 major lessons that came up for everyone over the weekend as I feel these are going to be valuable lessons for you too.
1. Investing in yourself
Many of these women had struggled to commit to investing so much in themselves, not just the money side, but taking a weekend away from family and commitments. However, investing in yourself is an act of self-love, and each an every single one of them saw how powerful it was in their wellbeing to keep investing in themselves on all levels.
You are your greatest investment, and the more you make yourself a priority, the more you have to offer those that are in your life.
2. Build a tribe
I’ve always said time and time again, that having people in your life that are your soul family is one of the key elements to joy and abundance. What these women discovered is the similarities that they have had in their lives and they way they thought about things. Instantly, you could see that it was as if they had been friends all their lives. They supported each other and have formed friendships that will last a lifetime. It’s so important to go out there and have a group of like-minded people where you can be authentically you and be loved and valued for it.
3. There are many stages to the journey
We are all constantly evolving and learning as we walk this journey called life. What these women discovered was that there are many different stages to the spiritual journey, but no matter what stage of the journey you are on, that we are all equal. No one is ever lesser or superior no matter how long they have been practicing spirituality. There is always something to learn and something to share. From women who have have maybe only experienced a reading, to being fully involved in a spiritual practice, they are and will remain equal to each other. There is no competition and the stages of where you at may change as you go along.
4.Let go of others opinions
This was a big one, and I always refer to this as the ‘outside clutter’. The stories and the bullshit that others place on us that stops us living authentically in alignment with what feels right to us. So many of these women were carrying stories that others had placed of them of not being worthy, not being good enough or not being valued and heard. It’s saddens me that so many people miss out because they get caught up in the fear and lack projections of others on to them. The ladies definitely felt this was a massive shift they had for them of no longer allowing judgement of others hold them back.
5. Let go of the labels
The whole theme of the retreat is answering the question ‘Who am I’, and so letting go of being defined was a really big shift. By labeling yourself, or trying to fit into a box, you are limiting yourself and the experiences you are able to have. When we asked these women who they are at the end of the retreat, not one of them labelled themselves as anything, rather it was stating things like I am confident, I am unique, I am of service. Where as we tend to label ourselves as our profession e.g a doctor, or status e.g a mother, or anything else e.g vegan.
Get rid of the labels you place on yourself and allow yourself to be free from these limitations these labels have placed on you.
I hope that within these 5 lessons something within you as been evoked and that you are able to allow these quantum shifts to occur naturally.
]]>What are you supposed to look for in terms of signs?
– Dream visitations
– Smelling their scent/perfume
– Feeling their presence
– Music (such as their song playing, or a song you associate with them)
– Feathers
– Coins
– Rainbows
– Numbers (such as anniversaries etc…)
– Animals (such as butterflies, birds etc…)
– Electrical activity (lights flashing, TV turning on etc…)
Not sure how to make sense of these signs or what they even mean?
Then I would love to help you.
When I was 18 years old, I was told that I could communicate with spirit. I’d been doing it my whole life really, and after many years of extensive training I have learnt to master the art of communicating with spirit.
I am now bringing mediumship to the modern day times to become something that is acceptable to seek and be a part of. It truly is a beautiful experience, as well as bringing so much comfort, support, healing and love.
Over the years, I have communicated with thousands of loved ones in spirit through my work – whether it be in personal readings or live demonstrations with my Whispers from Above shows.
The connection with your loved ones is priceless and I feel very blessed to be able to offer this ability to you. It is such an honour to be present with you and your loved ones, passing on the messages you wish to share with each other.
If you are yet to experience this connection I urge you to listen to that calling inside of you and allow me to be the translator for you and your loved ones in spirit.
You may wish to book yourself a reading or come along to my live shows.
Wishing you so much love

When life throws you opportunities (even unexpected or unrealistic ones), it’s important for you to jump and allow the universe to provide for you. Whether this be for your personal growth, relationships, career, health, adventures and so on.
It doesn’t matter if you have no idea how you will make it happen, what it’s going to bring you or what path it will lead you on. The important thing is that you commit and allow the universe to do it’s thing!
Be in a state of ALLOWING and RECEIVING
Start saying ‘YES’ to love.
Start saying ‘YES’ to happiness.
Start saying ‘YES’ to abundance.
We all have many goals and ambitions in life which we should aim to achieve, however, it’s about releasing the timing and outcomes of all these goals and ambitions. To truly surrender your spirit to everything coming to you in divine timing when it is for the highest good of all involved.
So are you at risk of future tripping your life?
Do you often hear yourself say?
“When I have … I’ll do …”
“I’ll be happy when I have …”
“I can’t do … until…”
If that’s you, you are currently in a state of controlling an outcome or desire. You are future tripping the rest of your life. Which means you’ll miss out, be left behind, or learn the lesson the hard way.
I’ve been there and it’s a lesson I am currently going through, as well as the many clients I see. So you are definitely not alone.
Take a breath and surrender it all. The fear, the doubt, the stress, the anger, the guilt, the resentment, the control. Let it go. It is not serving you or the people around you.
Meditate, pray or journal about what you’re feeling and why you’re putting a big fat ‘BLOCK’ on your life.
The beauty is, when you become aware that you are future tripping your life you can change your state of being and that is the most freeing thing you can do for yourself and those around you.
Your AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL life awaits you when you start saying ‘YES’.
May you see the miracle in the lessons you are currently in.
Lots of love

“Empowering individuals to abundantly live on purpose”
Feeling stuck?
If this sounds familiar, then you are keeping yourself there.
I have seen so many of my clients lately who are saying “I feel so lost”.
I sympathies, I have been there many times, it’s not a very pleasant place to be if we keep that outlook of being ‘lost’ or ‘stuck’.
Instead, I have been getting my clients to change the story to ‘I am in transition’. As soon as they say that, their whole face lights up and their energy is completely different.
Everything we say either out loud or in our minds we create.
Instead of looking at things from the fear based perspective of “I am lost/stuck”, look at it from the love based perspective of “I am in transition”.
While doing a reading with a client today, spirit guided me to get her to use this affirmation, it was so good I had to write it down and share it with you:
“This is the transition I need to propel me to my abundance.”
Saying this I already feel the weight lifted and the support from spirit and the universe.
I hope this helps you and that you can start to see the miracles within this transition you are currently in.
Many blessings and love

“Empowering individuals to abundantly live on purpose”
In a reading with a client today towards the end of a connection with her granddad, he handed her a yellow rose.
I thought, hmm that’s nice…then the flood gates opened and I was really unsure why.
She told me that her granddad would let her know it was him or that things are worth going for if she saw the yellow rose.
You can only imagine how incredible that felt for me to give her that validation.
Your loved ones in spirit never cease to amaze me. I feel so truly blessed to work as a medium.
Thank you spirit for this beautiful validation of life after death.
Lots of love

Now… for anyone that knows me, knows that I have a MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE fear of birds (all originates because I was hung in a past-life and pecked out without being quite dead!).
Anyway as I was doing the normal connecting with members of her family, dog etc… she asked if there was anything else there and I couldn’t see the parrot (but that’s because I wouldn’t open myself up to that), so when I asked her who she wanted to connect with it really put me out of my comfort zone completely.
I put my fear aside and was able to connect to the beautiful parrot and the relationship that they had, his behaviours etc… I could even feel him nudging her head as he would sit on her shoulder (by that time the cold sweats were coming on). She was so moved by the experience and was able to finally grieve his loss.
It definitely was an experience, and a true test of my mediumship, because mediumship isn’t about me, it’s about those in the afterlife being able to communicate with you. A connection had to happen, whether I was shit scared or not of the bird! I’m glad I was able to hold it together for this beautiful client.
I can’t say I’m in hurry to connect with more birds, but at least I know I can somehow handle this fear through mediumship.
Never a boring day in the office, that’s for sure!
]]>Last night I had the absolute pleasure of attending an evening with Oprah – her NZ live show in Auckland. I am now able to tick another thing off my vision board.
What an absolute gift it was to be in the presence of such transformational greatness.
The whole experience feels so divinely intervened – from meeting beautiful souls in the queue for future business opportunities in Christchurch to meeting a fellow psychic medium (from my area) in the carpark with the hour long wait from being on the top level.
From the moment Oprah stepped on the stage till the moment she left I was captivated by her every word which rings true in every part of my being.
I want to share with you my biggest ‘take-away’ moments because one of my values is ‘when we share wisdom we transform mankind’.
1. You are your legacy
This means that every encounter you have whether it be in person to something you have shared on a social media platform has the ability to change someones life. You are your legacy, not your ‘success’, but every person you have touched in some way and the impact that has had on them. This could be right down to smiling and saying thank you to the delivery man who brings your courier, making him feel appreciated. Use your words and gestures to send out love and that will be what people will remember you for.
2. Your life is an offering to the world
This is all about us being spiritual beings having a human experience and no matter how you came into the world that YOUR LIFE MATTERS.
How will you make a difference to this world? Your life’s purpose is doing something you are truly passionate about and no one should tell you what can or cannot be achieved. You are an asset to this world and even if you are the pebble in the water, you will create ripples.
When you come from a place of service then complete abundance comes your way.
3. Authentically empower others
Who you are is amazing and you should not try to become anyone else. Your personality is your biggest asset. It is the reflection of your soul. By being yourself, you allow yourself to be fully present in your life and for those around you. The more of yourself you reveal to the world, the more you empower it.
Move away from wanting to be like someone or have the life that someone else has. You are unique and deserve your version of a great life.
4. Intention is everything
What we put out comes back to us. Our life is a mirror of your thoughts (conscious and subconscious), so be mindful of your intention towards people and situations. You co-create your life with the intention and energy that you bring to a space.
If you believe life is struggle, then this will show up in your life daily. If you believe that you are prosperous then this will show up in your daily life.
Be mindful of the energy you bring into your life and your space as this will affect the intention you have for your life.
5. Turmoil builds strength
There is no life, without a spiritual life, therefore your unhappiness is a reflection of the disconnection to the self.
When you are in moments of absolute struggle with no end in sight, this is actually a good thing, because it is your own divine guidance steering you in the direction that is more aligned to your path. You have to surrender to the attachment of the outcome and allow for the universe to do its thing.
The hard times is what builds our strength and resilience. The more strength we build the more power we tend to have over our lives.
6. Gratitude
Gratitude is the key to happiness and success. It is important to reflect on what you have in your life and appreciate that. The more gratitude you show in your life the more abundance can be on display for you.
Make time to show gratitude to others around you and see how it comes back to you. It is suggested to have a gratitude journal to write down what you are thankful for. Start being more thankful and see how the universe shows up for you.
I want to leave you with a quote that I will be adapting for myself from now on from a poem Oprah used to read as a little girl.
“I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul”
