MORE ABOUT LUMINESSA

My spiritual journey began when I was 20 years old, when I discovered Hatha Yoga. What began as an interest in yoga opened the door to an entirely new way of seeing myself, life, and the world. I became deeply curious about spirituality and began exploring everything I could find. After reading Autobiography of a Yogi, I experienced a profound spiritual awakening that changed the direction of my life and eventually led me to the Bay Area.
 

Within a year, I found what felt like my spiritual home, a non-denominational New Thought metaphysical church called The Teaching of the Inner Christ. For the next 13 years, I immersed myself in mysticism, meditation, metaphysical principles, New Thought teachings, and the teachings of Jesus, Babaji, and the Ascended Masters.

​

It was during this time that I learned to work consciously with my inner guidance, connect with my I AM Presence, and develop my ability to channel and receive guidance from spiritual teachers and guides. I also learned the discipline of deep meditation and spiritual practice. My path eventually led me to become a Prayer Therapist, Ordained Minister, and Assistant Minister of the San Francisco Center.
 

In 1987, another chapter of my spiritual journey began. I was drawn deeply into the study of the Goddess and the return of the feminine. I wrote my first book, The Rebirth of the Feminine Spirit, and began offering Goddess workshops, speaking publicly, and exploring what it means to reclaim the feminine as a source of wisdom, power, sexuality, creativity, and spiritual connection.
 

Over the years, my studies and experiences expanded to include Tantra, Shamanism, Native American teachings, Buddhism, Wicca, Non-Dual teachings, the Enneagram, sacred sexuality, women's spirituality, and somatic approaches to healing and trauma. I have never been someone who wanted to put spirituality into one box. I have always been interested in discovering what is true, what is useful, and what can actually help us live more consciously and fully.
 

In the mid-1990s, I began offering private counseling and spiritual journey work. Since then, I have continued to deepen my understanding of healing, consciousness, spirituality, sexuality, and personal transformation.
 

In 2010, I was guided into working with the Akashic Records. Given my many years of channeling and spiritual practice, it felt like a natural extension of the work I had already been doing. What began with Akashic Record readings has evolved into a deeper form of counseling and healing, where I combine the wisdom of the Records with spiritual guidance, intuitive insight, healing work, and practical support for navigating life.
 

Today, my work is about helping people connect with the deeper wisdom within and around them, understand what may be happening beneath the surface of their lives, heal what is ready to be healed, and discover how to actually use spiritual wisdom in everyday life.
 

This is the heart of Heart and Soul Mentoring. It is the culmination of more than 40 years of spiritual exploration, study, teaching, counseling, healing, and personal experience. I bring together Akashic guidance, metaphysical and mystical teachings, meditation, consciousness work, somatic and trauma-informed approaches, spiritual counseling, life coaching, and the wisdom I have gained through my own journey.
 

I am also the founder of The New Feminine Rising, where I focus on women's spiritual awakening, feminine power, sacred sexuality, embodiment, and the restoration of a more conscious and empowered feminine. This work has become another expression of the same deeper calling: helping people remember who they are beneath the conditioning, expectations, and stories that can keep them from living fully.

I don't believe spirituality is meant to be something we simply talk about or understand intellectually. It is meant to be lived.
 

For me, the most meaningful spiritual work is the kind that helps us meet real life with greater awareness, courage, compassion, clarity, and choice.

That is what I hope to offer through Heart and Soul Mentoring: practical, spiritual wisdom for everyday life.
