Biography

Born one of ten children in a small catholic village in Ireland I moved to Los Angeles at the age of thirty.

My life up to this point had been very safe and I moved in what felt like a rut of familiarity with a great deal of dissatisfaction and very little sense of purpose. The move to California was undertaken out of a sense of adventure and a wish to know myself, to know what I was made of, through being completely out of my comfort zone. I achieved this goal through pain and loneliness and eventually through love, while I worked as a successful animator and watercolor artist at various studios.

My spiritual quest led me to Religious Science in the year 2000 and I felt I had come home. The ideas I was exposed to allowed me to grow and florish in life like never before. I finally began to value all aspects of myself and to know who I truly am. Releasing old judgements and restricting beliefs I felt more free and truly authentic than ever before. I was at peace with myself. I also felt a great sense of being supported in the universe, aware of the energy of expansion and abundance that exists in and through everything including myself. Words cannot express the happiness I feel because of all that I have gained from this life path, I would not change a step. Though challenges still present themselves I now have tools to deal with them and new perspectives from which to view them and that has made all the difference. After five years of study and practice of the tenets of Religious Science I graduated as a licenced Spiritual counselor and it has been my great joy to guide others along this rewarding path to fulfillment and greater happiness.

For one human being to love another, that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks,

the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.

~ Ranier Maria Rilke
