To my husband Brad and daughters Lauren and Larissa,

who have been my inspiration and unwavering supporters.

I am beyond grateful to get to share my life with them.

Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.

Carl Jung

With connection to intuition, self-love, and acceptance, we can heal from anything. This is the message I received from my intuitive guides at the age of sixteen, when they told me I would be writing this book as a result of what I had learned while recovering from bulimia. I have never forgotten it.

Some of the most serious, painful, chronic, and difficult to heal illnesses I have experienced and witnessed have been sparked by incredibly challenging life circumstances. At the same time, some of the most profound healing and growth I have experienced, and have watched clients experience, has come as a by-product of similarly difficult and painful experiences. When we are struggling with illness, it is essential to identify and address not only physical root issues but also everything in our past and present that may be contributing to being unwell, whether that be physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually. We must also identify everything that can contribute to healing. Trauma, our relationships and careers, what we put into and on our bodies, family influences, our relationship with Spirit and/or God, creativity, our empathic and intuitive abilities, and our ability to be authentic and heard can all have an impact on our wellness.

This is what my work and Heal from Within are all about.

I know that what I have just said is true because all of my personal healing and growth, all of the self-discovery, even my work as a medical intuitive has been the result of honestly identifying and addressing the issues that were blocking me from reaching my full potential. I also know this is true because I have had the pleasure of helping thousands of people do the same.

Im not going to pretend it is easy. Healing this way can be hard and a lot of work. It will also be the most rewarding thing you have ever done for yourself. The most difficult thing I have ever done was recover from bulimia, because I had to learn to love myself. Over the past thirty years of recovery, my eating disorder has been my greatest gift because it permanently changed my life for the better.

In order to heal, I had to learn to accept and address my fears of being seen and heard, of being imperfect, and of possibly never feeling worthy of love. I had to accept the fact that I couldnt and shouldnt be in control all the time and that a stronger, higher force had my back. I had to risk trusting others and myself and learn to ask for help.

I also had to face the fact that much of the pain I had been living with for so long had been created by my dysfunctional family, the people who were supposed to love me but were not capable of giving me what I needed. In order to grow, heal, and ultimately find my life path and voice, I had to call up courage and strength I didnt even realize I possessed. Unfortunately, my story is far from unique, and I hear similar stories on an almost daily basis. If you are willing to put in the work, you truly can put your pain behind you and embrace the life you have always wanted.

Heal from Within is the first book to combine information from personal spiritual guides with the wisdom of medical intuition, clinical counseling experience, and specific healing tools from Jungian psychology. You will be able to use it as a working guide both now and for years to come. The tools and concepts in Heal from Within are the same ones I have been imparting to my clients as a medical intuitive and counselor for the past thirty years, and I am thrilled to be teaching them to you.

You may be one of the millions of people living with one or more chronic conditions, which, according to the CDC website, six in ten Americans have, and four in ten have more than one. By 2030, it is predicted that two of every five individuals will be living with three or more chronic health conditions.

You dont have to continue to suffer. The path to your relief and health rejuvenation is at hand. You already have the ability and knowledge to help yourself; this book will teach you how to unlock it.

The answer is likely not to be found in traditional medicine or in the ways we are currently caring for our sick and hurting population. A report from the Commonwealth Fund found that even though the United States leads the world in health-care spending, its residents are more ill and more likely to die of preventable conditions than those in similarly wealthy and developed countries. Many of the people who contact me are on the verge of giving up. They have worked with numerous traditional and alternative practitioners, often spending thousands of dollars, without making progress, without receiving answers, and often ending up feeling even worse.

The answer to your wellness crisis starts by communicating with your own intuition: a force within all of us that provides endless love, guidance, protection, and security. When we form a strong connection with our intuition, we can heal from anything. By enlisting our intuition to help discover and address the root causes of illness and unhappiness, and by using individualized strategies and remedies that fit our specific needs, lifestyle, genetics, and unique bodies, we can achieve true, lasting health and live the authentic lives we all strive to achieve.

How can I be so sure? I know this because I have personally watched peoples lives transform physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Ive seen clients go from being bedridden to walking four miles a day, from being engulfed by suicidal depression to leading a life of joy and productivity, from being told that an organ transplant was necessary to a seemingly impossible organ rejuvenation, and from being captive in abusive relationships to living with independence and incredible self-esteem. They used the very same techniques you are about to learn in Heal from Within.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

Carl Jung

This book is a comprehensive plan for health and wellness that you will want to refer to again and again, not just use one time for a specific issue. The tools are timeless and are designed to be adjusted to meet the needs of individuals of all ages as they move through their lives.

Clients will often come to me looking for advice on supplements, nutrition, testing, or other physical types of relief, without realizing that they have other work to do. That work is sometimes dialing into the terrifying fear, shame, and self-loathing that is preventing them from healing. If we do not allow our intuition to be in charge and direct our healing, permanent change isnt possible. The good news is that the answers are already inside each one of us, just waiting to be found.
