Touchpoints in My Life
In my practice of reading the Akashic Records, I describe the process as creating an energetic "touchpoint," or point of contact, within the Records. From this touchpoint, I discover answers and insights into life's important questions. This connection is made possible through the vibration of love and wholeness that is the Akasha.
Within our human existence, the idea of "touchpoints" can be expanded to describe those pivotal moments or events we recall with pride that contributed to our growth and fulfillment. These might include educational milestones, career paths, physical feats, barriers broken, freedoms attained, goals achieved, families created and nurtured, communities supported, or illnesses overcome.
For me, having and raising my children has been a touchpoint of utmost significance and a catalyst on my spiritual journey. This has been especially true since my son, Ian, was diagnosed with non-verbal autism by age four. While many interventions and therapies were available, I found most focused on fixing or managing "behaviors" rather than understanding the child within. I discovered that by turning inward and listening to my intuition, Ian was much better served than when I followed the advice of "experts." This was the beginning of truly exercising my "spiritual muscles." I always knew there was more to Ian beyond some of his perplexing mannerisms and stimming behaviors. I committed to being guided by what felt right and to see my son's autism as an opportunity rather than a hindrance.
During difficult times in addressing my son's needs, I turned to spiritual teachings for comfort and guidance. In the last few years, perhaps because of the pandemic, I became a more serious student of spiritual concepts. I delved deeper into meditation, particularly Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, and then learned about the Akashic Records. This led me to Linda Howe and her certification course for reading the Akashic Records. From Linda Howe, I was guided to Debbie Solaris, where I furthered my learning and became certified in her Galactic Akashic Records course.
Coffee as a Spiritual Calling
Our family's love for coffee began ten years ago when we started dabbling with home espresso. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a passion, leading to several espresso machine upgrades and countless YouTube tutorials. Now, we proudly serve delicious espresso drinks to friends and family from our home. The joy of crafting lattes hasn't lost its luster; the sound of milk frothing and the aroma of freshly ground coffee are pure bliss, topped off by the rich taste and velvety texture.
When Ian was old enough, he showed a keen interest in learning to make espressos and lattes. Despite his autism affecting his motor processing, his strong motivation and pride in a job well done helped him master the skills needed to pull excellent shots and froth silky milk. With our shared coffee passion, the idea of opening our own coffee business became a recurring thought. For years, it remained a fantasy because my full-time role as Ian's caregiver and communication partner seemed incompatible with starting a business. However, Ian's continuous triumphs over his communication and autism challenges—constantly reaching new milestones and overcoming barriers—inspired me. At 22, the logical next step for Ian's journey into adulthood was to find meaningful work.

The year 2023 marked a significant turning point with the simultaneous launch of my coffee business venture and my Akashic Records Practitioner training. While completing my Level 3 training with Linda Howe, I found and purchased the logo for my website from an online artist. This led to the creation of "Akashic Touchpoints."
Ian and I soon realized we wanted to integrate "Akasha" into the coffee business as well. Akasha, a Sanskrit word meaning "primary substance," spiritually represents the essence that permeates and constitutes all things in the material world. We love the idea that our coffee beans, and their distillation into delicious espresso drinks, also embody a "primary substance."
For Akasha Coffee, we adapted the Akashic Touchpoints logo by adding a floating coffee cup with a latte "heart." We are honored to serve our community from a place of care and love, embodying our motto: "Akasha Coffee—coffee with soul."

Final Thoughts about my Readings
There are so many wonderful practitioners to work with when it comes to a spiritual or intuitive reading. How to even choose the right person?! I wanted to put enough information in this website as possible to help you best decide if I am the right practitioner for you--and that it goes beyond the words and you feel an energetic connection to what I have to offer.
In my daily life my main work is Mom, and caregiver and communication partner for a highly sensitive and brilliant autistic young man. I am a person with an extensive curiosity for spiritual growth, learning and expanding consciousness. I am a coffee lover. I am a fan of Dr. Joe Dispenza and meditation. And In recent years I seemed to have unlocked a gift for being able to connect energetically with the Akasha.
It was perhaps always there, and through my life experiences I learned to recognize and trust this connection and then was able to train with folks further along the path of knowledge than myself--including Linda Howe and Debbie Solaris. In addition, reading and learning from Lyssa Royal Holt and connecting with her Galactic Heritage Cards has been immensely transformative in my work in conducting Readings.
I love connecting with people in the Akasha-- the Wholeness and love is unmistakable-it is a deeply felt somatic experience when I read the Records for another and I feel a very deep KNOWING of the person in all their wholeness. It is an honor to be a conduit to that sense of knowing for the client.
Conducting a Reading is a sacred act, but I strive to make them warm and approachable. I like to imagine my Readings having the same relaxed vibe as two friends sharing a cup of coffee at a kitchen table. At this table you feel safe, supported and validated. If it were possible, that's exactly how I would conduct every Reading! We may not get the coffee, but I'd love to hold space for you as we explore the Akashic Records.
