I believe we are all born a little psychic. Some of you call it your gut feeling, sixth sense, I call it intuition.
I’ve always been sensitive to subtle energies. When I was in primary school -3rd or 4th grade- I was sitting in the back of the class and I remember seeing a white light around the teacher or students’ head and body. I remember telling my mom and she said “you need glasses!”
Glasses did not take my ability away but I did end up learning to not pay attention and instead focus on “tangible” things.
Traveling to Asia in my 20′s and being exposed to Buddhism & Hinduism slowly started to open up my mind to new ways of seeing the world.
One of the pivotal moment of my life and the start of a life long path was when I came to Yoga in 1989. At Sivananda Yoga Vedanta I learned meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques) and asanas (postures) and received the name Kaliani (a Hindu Goddess known for destroying mens’ ignorance) from Swami Vishnudevananda.

I was initiated to Babaji’s Kriya Yoga (Yoga, pranayama, dyana, mantra and bakti Yoga) by Marshall Govindan. He and his wife, Gaetanne Annai, had a huge impact on my life and through the exercise that they taught me my intuition developed.
Over the past 20 years I have continued to study different aspects of Yoga with various instructors and studios from Darby at Ashtanga Yoga Montreal (boy did he get my butt into shape!), Studio Lyne St-Roch, Yoga Sangha and by traveling to Kripalu and Omega for many Yoga retreats.
Kripalu Yoga Center
At “Being Yoga“, a workshop offered through Omega, I studied with Rodney Yee, Seane Corne, Amy Ippoliti and Gurmukh Kaur Kalsa. These retreats are magical, empowering and enabled me to meet wonderful yoginis, yogis and like-minded, open-minded people. But most importantly, Yoga demands that you be in the present moment, in touch with your body and all your senses. Through the practice of Yoga I learned to recognize signals in my body and as a clairsentient (someone who feels other people’s emotions) it has helped me decipher what emotions are mine and which belong to another person. That is quite useful in a reading!
I am totally blessed as I now have my own yoga studio where interns come to flourish and practice their brand new teaching skills. The studio is on the second floor of my boutique, Yoga-à-Porter.
Yoga continues to shape my life and a week long intensive called Shakti Sadhana at Kripalu with Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa and amazing Shiva Rea empowered me to harness the Divine Feminine (Shakti) Energy and apply it to how I do business.

The techniques I continue to learn through the courses “Awakening your Light Body” and “Divine Manifesting“, help me to sense subtle energies which guide my readings.
Cartomancy and the Oracle
I developed a curiosity and interest in card reading over 10 years ago. I had always been fascinated by Tarot cards and picked up a huge book on cartomancy and delved deep into it! That particular technique has over 10,000 possible interpretation of the cards and I am always amazed at how accurate it can be! Needless to say I’m still honing that skill even after 10 years of practicing!
Colette Baron Reid
When Colette Baron Reid -a well known psychic intuitive and Hayhouse author- published her own set of Oracle cards they were so beautiful and so very accurate that I started using them in my readings as well. Colette is a TOTAL HOOT and so when I heard she was doing a retreat in the Bahamas with Wildquest I jumped at the occasion. Swimming with dolphins + Colette Baron Reid + a bunch of fun eclectic people = quite the party! That seminar was an intensive on developing intuition and doing readings for other participants using her InVizion process – and the results were absolutely astounding.

Psychic 2.0 Bootcamp , another workshop with Colette Baron Reid this time at Omega in Rhinebeck NY we had quite a blast learning more tools to develop intuition. It was an intense weekend where Colette taught us, among many things, to design our own oracle cards! And they worked!
