About MJ

How this work found me

I’ve always felt things deeply – emotionally, energetically, creatively – even before I had words for it.

As a child, my dreams were vivid. As a teen, I got my first tarot deck and fell in love with crystals – my curiosity took off from there.

When I was seventeen I got a chronic illness diagnosis. That experience shifted everything. It pulled me into trying different healing approaches - acupuncture, kinesiology, psychic readings - and taught me how to really listen to the body and energy beneath the surface.

That time didn’t just deepen my intuition, it strengthened my empathy and my ability to sense what others are experiencing even before they can articulate it.

Before going fully into intuitive work, I spent over two decades in the corporate design world - solving people-and-problem puzzles, bringing clarity to complexity. That background still shapes how I work today.

In sessions, I listen to what’s said, what’s felt, and what hasn’t quite found words yet. It’s intuitive, grounded, and always in service of helping things click into place.

People often tell me sessions feel calming, uplifting, reassuring, and quietly clarifying – with insights that keep unfolding long after we’ve finished.

Thanks for being here — I’m really glad you found your way.

People often find me during moments of transition.

They’re looking for answers – and for clarity. A steadier sense of direction, confirmation of what they already feel, and support while something new is unfolding.

That’s where my work comes in. 👋

I’m MJ – an intuitive guide, mentor, and energy healer. I work with people who want grounded, supportive intuitive guidance that offers real insight and helps them move forward with confidence.

Background and training

My approach is intuitive and integrative, shaped by years of experience across energy healing, Reiki, intuitive and Akashic insight, mediumship, and reflective practice.

I am a certified Reiki Master and oracle deck creator.

I don’t follow a fixed structure – I listen for what’s needed in the moment and let the session unfold naturally, guided by Spirit and what feels most supportive for you.

Other offerings

Alongside my 1:1 work, I’ve created Easy Oracle cards – a gentle, practical tool designed to support reflection, clarity, and intuitive self-trust in everyday moments.

You’ll also find other intuitive resources available through my Etsy store.
