*************@*****.***
As a psychic medium Oracle card reader, I often surprise people with my accuracy. Often times people ask how I know what I know because there's no way for me to have googled the info. I've been reading privately for over 25 years and started reading professionally in 2020. A few years ago I got certified as a Chakra Meditation Specialist and I have helped hundreds of people relax and become more centered and balanced.
When I was teaching Kung Fu and Tai Chi, I learned other forms of meditation and taught people of all ages how to relax through moving meditation as well as mind clearing meditation. I was assistant manager of the dojo where I worked and learned all sorts of necessary computer skills, billing etc, that have helped me in my entrepreneurial efforts.

Founder of Volunteer Organization
Ear Savers Crew - Danbury, CT
April 2020 to Present
During this pandemic many people have been searching for ways that they can help their fellow humans. I was no exception to that. I started an organization of approximately 30 people, and networked with other organizations in order to help over 6,000 people get relief from their masks with the use of our brand of ear savers. I wash, pack, and deliver the ear savers, while keeping our team motivated, organized and keeping track of the finances.
Owner/Manager/Sole Proprietership
Holly Be Healing - Danbury, CT
February 2018 to Present
Years ago I discovered the calming, centering effects of meditation and started teaching various forms of meditation to others while working as a Kung Fu and Tai Chi instructor. I fell in love with Chakra Meditation and became a certified specialist in 2018 and have helped hundreds of people relax and feel more balanced and centered.
I have natural abilities as a psychic and have been reading tarot/oracle cards for 25 years privately. Recently, I started doing oracle card readings for people professionally and have helped many people with questions about love, relationships, loved ones that have passed away, and some that are just wanting to know what their next step should be.
For now these are online services only but as soon as we can we will be doing readings and meditation sessions in person.
Head Preschool Teacher
Children's Movement Center - New Milford, CT
January 2020 to September 2020
I had the pleasure of teaching 15 fun, dynamic 4 and 5 year olds. I wrote their curriculum based off of the CT ELDS, and D.O.T.S. I worked with and lead some incredibly creative, innovative women to help our team of preschool teachers become cohesive so that our preschoolers can thrive, and be well prepared for kindergarten. I also adapted and worked with a mixed age group of children with varying emotional needs during the pandemic.
Preschool Teacher
Merryhill Child Care Center - Newtown, CT
October 2016 to January 2020
It is a magical moment when I witness one of my three of four year old students figure out how to write a new letter, or understand a concept that had previously escaped them. They are marvelous learning sponges, and it has been my privilege to help them prepare for kindergarten. To do this, I collaborate with my coworkers, and together we have come up with curriculum that more than prepares the children kindergarten academically, but also prepares them socially and mentally. Program Coordinator
Benchmark Senior Living - Hamden, CT
July 2015 to October 2016
I loved working as the program coordinator in a memory care unit. My job was to help people with dementia hold on to their memories as long as they can by stimulating their minds with various activities such as cooking classes, art groups, men's programs, card games, outings, musical guests, discussion groups and spiritual programming. I put together the calendar for each month, kept track of who does each program to determine the program's popularity, do the programming with the residents, decorate the facility for the holidays, put together special events, coordinate charity events, and set up celebrations for residents birthdays.

Additional Information
Over the years I've learned a lot from volunteering in various capacities for different organizations. I volunteered at the Newtown Animal Control Shelter. I learned so much about the animals as I took care of the cats on Friday mornings. When I was younger I volunteered for the Special Olympics in Stamford CT and my favorite part was celebrating with the athletes when they finished their events, and dancing with them at the dinner dance that we held the night before. I felt like my soul would never be the same after that. I also volunteered for the Youth Leadership Conference in Stamford CT for several years in a row. Here I was a kid, in charge of a group of kids that were only a year or two younger than me, and I was leading them through different classes, and group activities. It was exhilarating. Soon I will be working with the Danbury Women's Center to help bring peace to women who have been abused.
