You Are About to Embark on a Spiritual Journey and Alternate Reality with a Natural Born Psychic, Healer and Shaman. Since I was born Psychic with the abilities of being Clairaudient, Clairsentient and Clairvoyant, my Metaphysical path was in full view ahead of me, but early on I did not realize that one day my abilities would help so many people. I am a third generation Psychic and Oma, but no one in my family publicly admitted being Psychic, until me. My mother was Psychic and an Oma and came down in a body to give me elevation so I could help spread this important global message. I have had a wide range of career positions, from working in Corporate America to teaching school to being a Social Worker. But with this current Metaphysical work my life has experienced a rebirth. I hold a B.A. in Sociology and Journalism from Indiana University and am an author and writer, having studied Metaphysics and world religions for over 20 years. I am also a Certified Counselor in Metaphysics and a trained Medium and Psychic, and trained Shaman in South America under Ancient Peruvian Shamanic Energy Medicine and A Clearer. That is my story, but what is most important is your story. You have your own set of challenges, setbacks, dreams and visions for a more ideal future. Let us look at that. I look forward to helping you achieve your own spiritual renewal as we begin our work together. RAINE 773-616-1705
