My journey with Spirit

My spiritual journey began long before I understood what spirituality was. From an early age, I experienced things I couldn't explain, moments that sparked a curiosity about the world beyond what we can see and touch.
 

Over the years, that curiosity has grown into a deep connection with Spirit, a lifelong exploration of consciousness and intuition, and a calling to share the wisdom I've discovered along the way.

​

My first encounter with Spirit


I was six years old when I first saw what I now understand to have been a spiritual manifestation.

​

I was up late one evening, playing with an air-filled sticker set. My family had all gone to bed, and the house was silent.

 

Suddenly, I heard the unmistakable sound of hooves. As I turned to my right, a window appeared in my bedroom wall, through which I could see a horse's legs and hooves walking along what looked like a cobbled street.

​

The sound continued. Then, to my astonishment, a full-sized brown horse appeared in my bedroom doorway.

​

It stood perfectly still, looking at me. After a few seconds, it gradually faded away.

​

I climbed out of bed and ran my hands through the air where the horse had been standing. There was nothing there. The horse had completely vanished.

​

I couldn't make sense of what I'd experienced at the time, but the encounter stayed with me.

​

Since then, I've asked my Spirit Guides about that night, and they've shared something beautiful with me:

​

“The horse you saw was an angel. The form was chosen as it represents the earth and would be somewhat familiar; it was intended not to cause alarm. The impression of a horse symbolises great strength, beauty. These loving animals are much endeared in your world, thus we felt it appropriate to represent our strength, our power and great beauty in this way. The horse was symbolic for our energy and our love for you. It sparked a curiosity in you, made you question more. It had a great impact. We had to go slowly, slowly over many years to build your trust and confidence. We revere you for your tenacity, your courage.”

​

Looking back at that experience, what seemed like an inexplicable encounter became part of a much longer journey of discovery, one that would unfold over many years.

​

A life of signs, synchronicities and spiritual connection

​

The horse wasn't my only unusual experience.

​

I've seen golden and silver orbs dancing and floating in front of me, witnessed lights flashing when my Spirit Guides want to get my attention, and experienced objects moving around my home.

​

I can sense when loved ones in Spirit are close by, and I often notice the signs that accompany their presence. Orbs, flashes of light, robins, feathers, repeated numbers and even numbers appearing in the clouds have all become part of my experience.

​

Synchronicities happen frequently in my life, and I've come to appreciate the ways in which meaning can reveal itself through the seemingly ordinary moments of our day.

​

As my spiritual journey has progressed, my experiences have deepened. I now communicate with deceased family members, including the many beloved dogs who have shared my life. I also receive clairvoyant and clairaudient information from my Spirit Guides.

​

These experiences have taught me to remain curious, pay attention and to keep exploring the many ways we can experience a connection with the spiritual world.

​

My connection with White Shadow

​

One of the most significant developments in my journey has been my connection with my main Spirit Guide, White Shadow.

 

I came to know White Shadow through my own spiritual experiences, and I now channel him and my wider Spirit Guide team, sharing their words and wisdom through my writing.

​

White Shadow has a history within the British spiritualist movement, having served as the Spirit Guide of the famous Hannen Swaffer mediumship development circle in the 1930s.

​

Being able to receive and share his guidance has become an important part of my work. Through channelled transmissions, I explore subjects that reach beyond everyday perspectives, including human consciousness, spiritual awakening, the nature of our existence and humanity's relationship with the wider universe.

​

My Substack publication, Awakening with Spirit, is where I share these deeper explorations. It offers a space to consider the guidance that comes through my Spirit Guide team and explore questions about our spiritual nature.​​

From spiritual seeker to spiritual teacher

​

My spiritual journey has been one of continual learning and discovery.

​

My awakening began in earnest in 2009, and over the years I've explored a wide range of spiritual practices and teachings. These have included reiki and energy healing, tarot and oracle cards, crystals, meditation, NLP, shadow work, past-life exploration, mediumship, channelling and intuitive development.

​

Each has offered me a different perspective and a new way of exploring spirituality.

​

My own experiences have also taught me that spiritual development isn't just about seeking answers. It's about learning to listen inwardly, recognise our own intuitive knowing and become more discerning about the information we receive. My journey is one of self-empowerment, and empowering others is something I'm particularly passionate about.

​

I believe that tarot cards, crystals and other spiritual practices can be valuable tools for developing our own awareness. They can help us explore our intuition, recognise patterns and symbolism, and become more confident in the insights we receive for ourselves.

​

I love making spiritual subjects accessible, helping people explore ideas that might initially seem unfamiliar or complicated, and giving them practical ways to develop their own understanding.

​

Over time, my love of learning and my desire to share what I've discovered naturally grew into my work as a Spiritual Teacher.

​

Today, I'm proud to share what I've learned through my self-paced spiritual development courses, guided meditations and spiritual journeys, alongside my channelled writing and transmissions.

​

Guiding your spiritual journey

​

My work brings together two things that are deeply important to me: sharing the wisdom I receive through my Spirit Guide team, and teaching people how to explore and develop their own spirituality.

​

Through my courses, I teach subjects including spiritual awakening and ascension, intuitive tarot and oracle reading, crystal healing, energy healing and shadow work.

​

Through my meditations and spiritual journeys, I create opportunities to pause, turn inward and explore a deeper connection with your intuition, Higher Self and Spirit Guides.

​

And through Awakening with Spirit, I share channelled transmissions that invite you to look beyond familiar perspectives and consider the deeper questions of our existence.

​

Although these offerings take different forms, they share a common thread: an invitation to explore, discover and deepen your own spiritual understanding.

​

If you're exploring your own spiritual awakening, developing your intuition or simply curious about the world beyond the everyday, I hope you'll find something here that inspires you.​
