MY STORY

Roots & Resilience

My childhood was marked by deep dysfunction experiencing things no child should ever have to face, including exposure to drugs, violence, and abuse. By the time I was 3 or 4 years old, I was placed in my first foster receiving home.  I spent most of my childhood being moved around between my parents, foster homes and my paternal grandparents. Through all of that instability, my paternal grandparents became my safe place, my sanctuary, and my anchor- a blessing for which I am forever grateful.

At 22, I welcomed my first child and became a single mother. Three years later, I met my now ex-husband, and together we went on to raise three wonderful children.

​

My path has never been a straight line. It has been a long journey defined by a challenging upbringing, major restarts, and an unwavering faith in purpose. Through every storm, a still, small voice kept nudging me forward, even when I didn't think I had the strength to continue. In time, I learned to listen, trust that quiet voice within, and honor it completely.

​

Inherited Gifts & Ancient Callings

I carry the spiritual inheritance of my grandmother and others in my lineage who recognized my gifts early on. Even as a child, I was a "sensitive," perceiving, hearing, and sensing the unseen atmosphere around me through vivid dreams and a sharp, natural discernment.

In my late 20s, while married and raising three children, I became deeply involved in traditional Christian ministry. For a long time, I struggled with the labels society placed on these intuitive gifts, until I realized they were simply different names for an ancient calling: the Prophet, Seer, and Mystic. Once I released those rigid, man-made stigmas, everything shifted.

​

My 17 years in ministry were deeply valuable, and God / Creator / Source used my gifts in profound ways. Within those formal structures, supernatural insights would naturally manifest. Behind closed doors, I frequently shared detailed visions with leaders that came to pass exactly as seen. At times, I felt a quiet, heavy conviction to privately and respectfully share guidance with leadership when things did not align with how Spirit was moving. Though initially taken aback, they were always met with gratitude because the heart, truth, and accuracy of what emerged in those private spaces was undeniable.

​

The Pivot, The Fire & The Unbroken Anchor

Eventually, I felt a clear call to step away from traditional systems. Man-made structures no longer aligned with the integrity of my calling; I was being drawn out to simply "be" and allow my gifts to expand naturally.

​

During that same season, my marriage of over 20 years came to an end. For the first time in decades, I found myself completely alone, facing immense loss, severe financial strain, and extensive chronic internal & physical health issues that continue to this day. There were moments the weight was so heavy I simply wanted to die. I was far from perfect I made unwise choices and let my wild side out in the messy process of trying to find who I was. I survived a botched surgery that led to a life-threatening septic infection, and weathered four severe bouts of COVID, including a terrifying hospital stay where I prayed desperately for Spirit to pull me through.

 

My life became a raw landscape intermingled with wonderful highs and despairing lows. Yet, I am thankful for the refining fire of that process. It stripped away pretense and launched me into a journey of deep self-discovery, emotional healing, and spiritual expansion.

​

What has amazed me most is such a raw, transitional time is realizing that Spirit never left. Even when I felt completely disconnected, foolish, or uncertain about my future, the insights kept flowing. In the most ordinary, unexpected moments; at work, with colleagues, or over coffee with friends, out in public with complete strangers... Spirit would drop timely messages and profound encouragement into my heart to share. It was a beautiful, humbling reminder that we can never truly be disconnected from that which we are anchored to.

​

Today: Grounded Intuitive Mentoring

Today, I use my gifts in an authentic, direct, and fully relational way—completely outside the confines of rigid institutional structures.

​

Spirit works best when we get out of the way and let Spirit be Spirit

​

When you sit with me, my goal isn't to mystify you, but to illuminate and empower you. I provide a safe, calm, and grounded space where we can uncover your practical truth, access clear answers, and guide you toward trusting your own innate wisdom.

​

I am perfectly imperfect, and there's a beauty in that realization, a freedom and an okay to just be!

MY ASTROLOGY

If you like to geek out over cosmic blueprints, my birth chart makes for a pretty fascinating map! My heavy "woo-woo" intuition is beautifully anchored and nicely grounded by a mountain of earth energy (16 Earth, 8 Water, and 3 Fire):

​

  • The Power of 18°: I have a Grand Earth Trine formed by three major placements sitting precisely at 18 degrees: my Capricorn Sun (11th House, Second Decan), my Pisces Rising (1st House) and, my DC in Virgo at 18 degrees.

  • Mystical Placements: As shared, my rising is in Pisces, I also have Mars in Pisces in the 12th House at 0 degrees, Chiron in Pisces, and a Neptune in Scorpio in the 8th House at 25 degrees.  *And interestingly, Jupiter (Traditional) & Neptune (Modern) being my chart rulers- grounding the woo-woo with warmth, clarity, and zero fluff.

  • Geometric Complexity: My chart contains a Grand Cross, a Kite Pattern, a Virgo Stellium and Earth Stellium, meaning my cosmic blueprint is highly dynamic, resilient, and built for deep grounded spiritual work.

  • My Cosmic Profile: In Numerology, my Life Path number is 34/7 (the seeker of deep truth), and in Chinese Astrology, I am a Fire Goat.​​

FUN FACTS

  • The Story of My Name: My actual name on paper is Tami. My teenage mother fully intended for me to be named Tamara, telling the hospital nurse she wanted my nickname to be "Tami" but the nurse put "Tami" as my legal first name on my birth certificate. When my mother passed away in the beginning of '00, it became clear to me in more ways than one that I was meant to honor her by finally stepping into and using the name she always intended for me: Tamara (though I have not changed it legally).  But to those family and friends informally- I am Tami. 

  • The Vibrant Side: My favorite colors are rich jewel tones: Eggplant, Plum, Indigo-Purple Blue, Mulberry, Deep Fuchsia, Emerald Green, Teal, Gold... *If you can't already tell (ha ha).  Sunsets & Sunrises speak to me as do butterflies, hummingbirds and more... 

  • An Absolute Animal Lover: When I was young I was referred to as Doctor Doolittle, my ex-husband also called me this saying animals posed for me when I had my camera out (ha).  Friends have referred to me as Snow White (ha ha).  I love animals and they love me; fur, feathered... they have a special place in my heart.

  • Age is a Vibe: I am in my late 50's and though the image in the mirror and the age don't make sense- I am incredibly proud of the wisdom that comes with it, while remaining deeply relatable to any age.

  • What I Am Passionate About: PEOPLE, ENCOURAGEMENT & EMPOWERMENT, UNITY, LOVE & JUSTICE and sharing the beauty I see in others as well as the gifts I see within them.
