At the almost age of three, I had an accident with our family dog that led to a re-birth into this life. I started in a beautiful place of love and comfort, where I connected with a distant relative and was asked to come here and help. When I came to my body, I was awake, eyes open, and I watched the doctors finishing up working where the dog’s teeth unintentionally had done their damage. The experience had left its mark on me related to all things hospital.

This traumatic experience has shaped most of my life, as the resulting emotional effects prevented a dream in Western medicine. Some of the impacts of my accident are that I have had medically unexplainable seizures, I have been able to understand people, their intentions, see connections between people, and many other physical symptoms at a very young age. The whole experience made me different; growing up different wasn’t easy. Gifts that were developing were sometimes helpful as I tried to make my way through this material world but never fully expressed myself.  The western medical community had no real answers for my seizures that didn’t involve a long-life partnership with pills and life changes that would limit the opportunity for true happiness and success.   This path left me ungrounded, flailing about from career to career.
