General

  • Yes.

  • 194 Wilfred Avenue, North York, Ontario, Canada.

  • Yes.

  • Yes, on my street there is free parking.

  • Yes.

  • No. Because of the volume of inquires I get daily, I am unable to offer free phone chats. If it feels right for you to work with me, then go with your heart and gut feeling. If you have found me, there is a reason.

  • All of my rates are listed both on my website and online booking system. You can review and book a time here.

  • It depends. If it’s not easy for you to book a session, then that might be a sign that it’s important for you to carve out the time. That’s a part of the healing process: making the space for yourself and showing up.

  • I have helped support people emotionally & spiritually across the spectrum of the human experience. Some examples of what I have witnessed and worked with include: manifesting a partner, changing jobs, moving, leaving abusive relationships, creating a side income, quitting full time corporate job to launch self-employment, transition into death, grief, loss/death in the family, setting boundaries, isolation, debt, cancer, chronic illness, burnout, end of life, IVF, miscarriages, abortions, conception, stillborn loss, NICU, manifesting a baby, birthing at hospital, birthing at a home, birthing at a home, birthing c-section, etc.

  • No, because my psychic field is very open. It is important that I answer questions within the sacred container of a session so that we both feel safe, seen and grounded. Please book a session for any follow-up questions.

  • Yes, I work with couples for Akashic Record Readings and Past Life Regressions as they are well suited for dialogue. I do not work with couples for Reiki or Breakthrough Sessions because those are designed for individual healing.

  • Yes. Please send me a message to express your interest here.

Reiki Sessions

  • ​In this modern-day society, it is very important for us to honour and recognize BEING as an important complement to doing (action). These forms of healing are there to hold space and offer still point techniques for people in stress and in need of downtime. Reiki is relaxing and healing. Many clients have shared that they have received deep clarity after the session or emotional release. Reiki is a unique in-depth experience that will powerfully open up the body's energy for deep healing.

    I am honoured to offer Reiki in Toronto. If you are curious please book a session here. Reiki can be done in Toronto at my office, or remotely.

  • Reiki is a way of being for me now, after practicing for 29 years, I have learned to:

    • Protect my energy

    • Harness energy

    • Be conscious and responsible with energy i.e. Boundaries and space holding

    • Recharge my own energy

    • Be more connected to the

    subtle body

    • Strengthen my Auric Field

    • Use Reiki when sometimes touch is not appropriate

    • Create energy in a room, from a dull environment

    • Call in support

    • Heal myself

    • Co-create healing with others

    • Be the lighthouse

  • For the first Reiki Session, I recommend 90 minutes because there is a waiver form for you to fill out, an oracle card pull, a brief introduction, and a smudging ceremony (or clearing energy with other essential oils, if preferred).

  • This depends on you. I recommend no more than once a week to process.

  • LINEAGE: As many eastern traditions follow the pupil and student lineage (paramara) this is an ancient oral tradition and is imperative to maintain the integrity of the system. This isn't about information, it is a wisdom project that requires meditation and spiritual practice. This is the opposite of our capitalistic culture and is important to have respect, appreciation, and reverence for the eastern tradition. We must honour and acknowledge the historical context, diversification, culture, and social aspects of Reiki's Origins. This is a more classical and historical vantage point of transmission of teachings through (shaktipat) or spiritual energy/awakening. Translation: the depth of study that the teacher or guru (remover of darkness) has uncovered or revealed, through their (sadhana) spiritual practice, is translated in their being. i.e. The energy of the teacher. Ether is an invisible force that resides in all living things, and etheric knowledge or wisdom of consciousness provides light to another open conscious student. The teacher is only a mirror to shine back the light that is within the student, there is no division between the energy at its core. The power that one feels around a teacher is the same energy source that the student possesses. The real power of reiki is in the practice of reiki and allowing that practice to teach you to connect to its healing energy and alignment of the source. Reiki itself has no need for religion, dogma, or god it is an energy system or way to channel light. “Let Reiki Teach you”- Mrs. Takata

Akashic Record Readings

  • The Akashic Records are beyond the model of time of linearity and meet us in the realm of the wholeness of our being and the interconnectedness of our infinite nature. I also offer courses in how to open your own Akashic Records and also how to read others. I offer this with great honor and Akashic Records are not meant to be opened for children but rather, an adult who has a more established sense of Self. The Akashic Records are a realm of healing, and open the heart to the infinite possibilities of consciousness and the vastness that is wisdom. The Akashic Records can only be opened with permission and intentions. So before you book a reading with me in Toronto, or via video internationally, please come prepared with questions that you may be called to ask. The Akashic Records are a conversation with some guided imagery and are different for each person. I find the Akashic Records to be validating and reassuring.

  • Anyone can access the Akashic Records with the correct intention, and through practicing the right Akashic records training.

  • I am a trained Akashic Record reader. I was taught a specific sacred prayer that I use to open the Akashic Record field. I am also an avid meditator, and have vivid dreams. All of this has helped my connection to accessing the Akashic Records.

  • Anything can be asked during a soul record reading: current life lessons, karmic contracts, ancestors, spirit guides, future possibilities, past lives, and more.

  • People come to a reading because they want to understand the bigger picture of why things are happening. Or someone has crossed over and they would like to hear from loved ones beyond the veil. Or there is a health struggle, life transition, making a decision, or a relationship issue. Life has its peaks and valleys, throughout the journey our hearts deeply long for resolution. I am here to help listen, and guide you through the journey.

  • No - Roger Woolger (Other Lives, Other Selves) helps his students to establish trust by reassuring them that they are protected at all times by guides, or guardians, who automatically pace the progress of the individual’s growth; stopping them from going too deep too fast. He points out that, with or without our awareness, these guardians are there to prevent us from entering deeper realms of the psyche that we are not yet ready to face.

    He reminds his students to become aware of the inner “guardian of the threshold”, which is an image of our own fear; a frightening monster posted at the gates of eastern temples or on the border of a mandala, which serves as a warning not to enter places that we’re not ready to deal with.

  • Upon booking a session, you will be asked for your intention(s), purpose(s) and/or story for the session: Why do you want your Akashic Records to be read, for what purpose? What is important to you right now to know? I should know this information ahead of time as this helps me save time and better prepare for the session.

    • Physical Prep: Bring a sacred object that has meaning for you; in other words, a family heirloom or a special object that makes you feel safe, or has spiritual, cultural, ancestral, or religious meaning to you. For example: a crystal, a necklace, a photo of a loved one, flowers, a watch, rosary, mala, etc. This will be on the altar to be blessed during the session, and returned to you at the end of the session.

    • Meeting in person or online: In all of my sessions, I guide you through relaxation; breathing, and connecting to yourself is a part of the process. I will be breathing with you. I am here for you. I will ask to be sober during the reading and 24 hours prior, unless prescribed by a doctor or naturopath, etc. I cannot open your records if you are under the influence of alcohol, mushrooms, or marijuana. Because of my openness to energy, it's best if you are of a clear and of sound mind. I will also be clear 24 hours prior to the reading, because I am very sensitive to energy. Coffee or tea is okay before a reading.

    • In person: I do an energy clearing ritual, to clear you spiritually, from anything that may be in your space, so that you can feel lighter as you step into the sacred dimension of the Akashic Records. I also clear my own energy before I see you, so there is an energy refresh to our meeting.

    • Online: I meditate before our reading to make sure that I am one with the Akashic Records, and feel as open as I can be. I regularly bless my house and office, to create a clear environment energetically.

    Please note: I am visited in my dreams by your ancestors, guides, or shown a challenge you are currently facing. My psyche is there to help me understand my clients on a very deep spiritual level, and I cannot control my dreamlife. I will receive this information as a form of empowerment. If I remember my dream correctly I will share it with you during our session together. My dreams have been a part of my psychic understanding and help me piece together solutions to our greatest challenges and how to strengthen them together. It has also happened my entire life, and I know the difference between my dream life and my clients, because the energy is very different from my own unconscious mind.

    • 1: Connecting with the Akashic Records: I will connect both of our energies together to come to a state of harmony, and ease. The Akashic Records will come once the energy is relaxed. I see energy, I am clairvoyant and a feeler. I wait for the right moment for its energy to reveal itself. This may be 30 seconds or 1-2 mins. When I access the records as a practitioner, I get into a trance state known as mediumship. It is in this relaxed state that I can open myself up to accessing the Records.

    • 2. Your Questions: The person receiving the reading is allowed to ask questions for the Akashic Records, and these questions serve as a guide for the reading. I reveal what I am only allowed to share, based on the information and insight I am given. There are spiritual boundaries yes, even in the Akashic Records.

    • 3. The Records: You will receive information, which may come in the form of timelines, the psyches' symbolic language, words, locations, sayings, ancestors names, friends, karmic patterns, past life knowledge, and feelings.

    • 4. Akashic Records Insight and Wisdom: I will offer guidance and insights based on the information received. The information I get could relate to the past, present, or future. Every single person's Akashic (soul) Records session is unique to the blueprint of their soul's journey, therefore it is individualized based on what your soul needs to hear at that particular time. The Akashic (soul) Records will share information I am only allowed to share, with your permission. This is an interactive live dialogue with me and you in the Akashic Records, there is a back-and-forth conversation, and you can ask any questions, or ask me for clarification. When the energy and time has shifted then it's time to close the records.

    • 5. Closing the Akashic Records Energy Field - Integration Process: Just like it took a ritual to open the Akashic Records, it takes time to close them, and seal the energy. Anywhere from 30 seconds to 1-2mins. It is a healing experience to be in them. I will know the right time to close them, the energy is organic. We then, time willingly, discuss the insights gained and how they can be applied to your life. I sometimes send resources via email based on what we talk about that have helped me along the way.

    • 6. Sealing the Energy and closing the door of the Akashic Records: The session often concludes with closing of the records, and also an acknowledgement of what transpired during the session via giving thanks to the gatekeepers of the Akashic Records.

  • Your first reading is 90 minutes.

  • This depends on you. I recommend no more than 1-2 readings per a year.

  • Akashic Readings are the collection of every thought, deed, or action(s) a soul can take. The soul records are the library of all information since the existence of time itself for example: past life knowledge, ancestral information, spiritual guides, can speak to you in an Akashic Record reading.

    It is very distinct from Tarot, and having said that Tarot is also very powerful; it can depend on the depth of the person giving you a reading. The Akashic Record can sometimes be very healing just being in the energy of your records; it is like a soul healing. Its energy is unique and distinct to the realm of the Akashic Records. It is like visiting a realm of consciousness or a frequency.

  • I am not Jesus, the Buddha, or God. I am a human being. Yes, miracles have happened when I have worked with people, and it depends - it's not in my control. It depends on what work you put in after a session. Your life is in your hands because only you have the power and will to change it. Only you are the driver of your life. To reclaim our power, we need to know what our higher purpose is and be the catalyst we have chosen, and wake up to how we are prioritizing in our lives. Ultimately you are capable of standing up for yourself by taking full responsibility for your life. I am here to empower, cheer, believe in you and share information. The actions you take and your choices are up to you.

  • No, and the Akashic Records are spiritual in nature and are not a replacement for psychotherapy or medical advice. The Akashic Records are not regulated and not covered under insurance. I am not a medical doctor, and if you seek medical or mental health advice, please speak to your doctor or a regulated psychotherapist or licensed psychiatrist. I highly recommend many modalities, including medical advice, psychotherapy, acupuncture, social work, massage therapy, naturopathy, physiotherapy etc. and more, as an imperative part of a holistic approach to healing.

    • The Akashic Records is not fortune-telling. A good reading should explain the philosophy of living right. EXPECT TRUTH

    • Allow the medium to proceed in their manner. Do not expect your first problem to be discussed at once. BE PATIENT

    • No medium wants or needs help, but do not attempt to confuse them. Let them know when they are correct. BE FAIR

    • Skepticism, demanding proof, arguing or wanting things done your way only leads to failure. EXPECT GOOD

    • Spirit often manifests by name. Evidence comes in many other ways, descriptions, relationships, simple tests, etc. BE WILLING TO VERIFY

    • Do not be too quick to say “no.” Welcome the spirit even if you are unable to recognize it immediately. Later, you may recall the name of the incident. BE OPEN

    • The true value of a reading is not always measured by prophecy. Prediction is always possible, but you have free will to make changes.

    • Seek a medium’s help at a time when you are relaxed and undisturbed. Put your mind at ease.

    • Every medium has its unique way. It is unfair to compare the abilities of mediums.

    • Do not try to prolong a reading. The medium realizes when the force is gone.

    • Before going to a meeting where there is communication with the spirit world, by means of a circle, public seance, outdoor meetings or private sitting, ask your spirit loved ones to attend the meeting with you.​

  • For clarity or curiosity, if you are feeling drawn to it. Go with your gut or heart's calling. Trust yourself to what feels right for you. Consider you already know right now what you want deep down in your heart of hearts. Click here if you are ready to book.

Past Life Regressions

  • Because, over many lifetimes, we have developed wonderful skills and insights, been successful, or not. By studying our past lives, we can rediscover hidden talents and begin to change and rectify old patterns. Often, simply by remembering the past life, old patterns (particularly phobias) are instantly released.

  • The key to success is knowing where you are not strong and then changing it. Being unaware enables people to keep on playing the role of the victim. But sometimes things just happen to me! Not true! The laws of the universe are very logical. Your belief patterning ‘attracts’ events, either positive or negative, to help you to become an empowered individual who can help others.

  • As many as you can possibly remember! It’s taken hundreds of thousands of years to become the wonderful person you are today.

  • Very unlikely! You would have to have reached the stage of development of one of the Masters, such as Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha or Krishna to be approaching this stage in your development. However, you may well be incarnating in this dimension for the last time.

  • This depends on how deep into the experience you wish to go. You can use this as a meditation or as a deeper tool for growth.

  • Your subconscious mind will do the work needed. You will probably have interesting dreams for a week or two!

  • That’s fine. Carl Jung, the Swiss psychologist, believed that we are all in tune with the collective unconscious; the vast storehouse of humanity’s memories that we can ‘tune into’ in order that we can use others’ experiences for our own benefit. This is rather like the ‘Akashic Records’ of the spiritualists; a kind of videotape library where all memories are stored. Jung said that when we ‘remember’ a past life, we have, in effect, used someone else’s experience to give us an example of today’s challenges. So, for example, if you are perhaps trapped in a not-happy relationship, you may choose to ‘remember’ a lifetime of imprisonment to show yourself how your unconscious mind perceives it.

  • It really doesn’t matter whether you believe in Past Lives or not – your unconscious mind is like the Internet. It is a servo mechanism and has no way of differentiating between ‘reality’ and non-reality or imagined. The important thing is that the message is given to you in an easily understandable way.

  • We do! Children between the ages of two to five very often remember previous lives. As the ‘new’ personality is integrated, the memories slip away.

  • No - Roger Woolger (Other Lives, Other Selves) helps his students to establish trust by reassuring them that they are protected at all times by guides, or guardians, who automatically pace the progress of the individual’s growth; stopping them from going too deep too fast. He points out that, with or without our awareness, these guardians are there to prevent us from entering deeper realms of the psyche that we are not yet ready to face.
