Hi, I'm Jamie.
Since the age of 4, I was asking my parents life's BIG existential questions. I found that my curiosity thrived in classes that explored art and literature, psychology, nutrition, biology, and world spirituality. I noticed the pattern being that these topics all focused on helping the human mind, body, and soul to be at full potential through development and evolution.
Basically... "How can I be my best self and live my best life?"
I took this question on as I narrowed my focus to SOUL WORK - mastering our energy and emotions, shifting awareness and awakening consciousnesses for a more fulfilling life. When we can truly be in the NOW, we open our hearts to gratitude, love, peace, and balance.
As for my tools, techniques, and processes, I pull from teachings such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Law of One, Law of Attraction, and more. Instead of following one organized belief system, I practice many, which is called "syncretism", because I have fun experimenting (and diversity of perspectives is highly beneficial). I bring this mentality into everything I create and teach - from tarot cards, to guided meditations - enjoyment helps balance out the tough stuff!
Soul Work
I have a passion for art and design, self-development, spirituality, psychology, communication, and environmental protection. These areas of life motivate me to connect authentically with each person I meet to fully understand their dreams and challenges in order to formulate the best solution.
In the past: I worked for over 12 years in the corporate 9-5 setting, learning that "hustle culture" was not for me. During 2020, I finally worked up the courage to take the leap and quit. It was scary, but I was determined to step into the flow of the universe, hoping to find a more balanced and aligned way of BEING.
Now: Every person I work with and every project I take part in aligns with my vision for a more conscious and compassionate world.
