Before I started doing psychic readings professionally, my interests and talents led me to years of study in spiritual practices and healing arts. I learned how to meditate and chant. I learned different modalities for healing myself and others. I learned, through experience, how to notice and follow my own intuition unwaveringly. And I learned how to live in my body as an ethereal yet grounded person. I used to call myself a “tool monger.” I devoured, practiced, and created countless techniques for helping myself live an optimal, inspired, and happy life. I still do. I veer always toward joy—it’s where I like to be. And, it’s what I feel is actually our most potent natural state. My natural ability as a seer coupled with my instincts to empower others led me to my life as a professional psychic and empath and intuition teacher.
People often wonder about this journey. For me, the short version, with select highlights looks like this:
It took me into my adult years to both discover and understand my abilities. I spent several years really "clearing the docks" as I put it. I lived in an ashram for a year where I meditated and chanted daily. Around that time period I also discovered I was empathic— meaning that I actually feel other people's emotions in my own body. It had been happening my whole life, but up until that point I hadn't understood it for what it was. Following that, I spent a year virtually alone (I mean I occasionally showed up at potlucks. :) ), but the majority of my time was spent by myself — I rarely even answered the phone. At that time I wasn't truly aware of what I was doing —I was just following my instincts completely: I needed to be alone. In hindsight I can see that this was the year I spent dislodging old patterns and other people’s business from my body. By the end of that time period I knew who and what Aimée was, and I also knew how to create psychic boundaries so that I wasn’t moving around as a walking radio receptor for everyone else’s business.
During those years Sonia Choquette’s book, "The Psychic Pathway" also came to me. It was reading the introduction that actually changed my life. When I did so I thought, “This woman sees the world how I do!” Pause, look at the cover. “She’s a psychic.” She’s world renowned, as a matter of fact. In a sense, it was how I discovered what I was. A year or so later it was an interaction with her that made me go professional. “I don’t know why you aren’t doing readings,” she said to me that day on the phone. I guess it was just the sort of kick in the pants I needed to put myself out there more boldly, as opposed to just "seeing" for my friends.
I've been doing readings for those who are at a crossroads or want direction on what choices serve their highest good since 2007.
Since then I've spoken, taught, written, and developed programs to help others own their intuition and/or manage their empathic ability.
I founded my Intuitive University and Empath Intuition University in 2015. I teach intuition and empath programs for those who are ready to leave doubt behind and thrive with the help of their own innate inner knowing. It's one of my greatest pleasures to guide women to their own innate wisdom and the ethereal help that is available to us all. If you've ever seen a woman recognize that her soul's wisdom is inside and that help is all around — you know, it's a gorgeous thing.
I’ve always been drawn to a life of service. My first jobs out of college (at St. Olaf) were “working for the trees,” as I liked to call it. I ran campaigns and worked for organizations like the Sierra Club and Global Greengrants Fund. I spent a couple of years in West Africa, as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal, using my skills as a fluent French speaker and mixing my love of travel with my desire to add positively. Then I discovered my love of writing. Well that’s not true, I’ve always loved writing. But then I discovered the joy of doing it as a profession.
It was during my first job as an official writer (for the SYDA Foundation) I thought, “I can’t believe I get to play with and think about words all day long, this is the BEST!” It was my absolute joy and the feedback I got about my writing during that period that led me to discover, this was not only one of my loves, but also a skill I could use beyond writing letters to my friends from abroad.
Two books, many articles, a blog or two, and podcast later I’m still enjoying that discovery. I am the author of the book, “Getting Answers: Using Your Intuition to Discover Your Best Life" and the book, "From Heartbreak to Wholeness: 12 Steps for Healing from Heartache."
I am also the host of the Own Your Intuition Show (radio show and podcast) where I tell true stories and give tools to inspire others to honor the wisdom they’ve got inside.
It's funny how your life completely changes when you become a mother. I never thought I would enter that into my bio, but in all honesty my children take up a lot of space in my world. It's being a mother that forces me to constantly develop new skill sets and let's just say— my smalls keep me dancing! Though motherhood is not necessarily part of my career path, I would feel remiss without mentioning it, given the huge amount of my energy that goes toward it. In many ways, I'm very naturally an out of the box thinker, so designing a life that suits the diverse needs of my family and one that allows our souls to bloom, is something I extend a lot of energy toward outside of my teaching and readings.
As always, I also continue to veer in the direction of what inspires me. I’ve lived and traveled around the world. I did a year of college at Université Paul Valéry in Montpellier, France and I’ve spent time in more than a dozen other countries.
I continue to travel and plan extended periods abroad with my family, while doing my work in the world.
Thanks for stopping in on this journey with me. I hope to wink at you from the road soon.
