About Mia

A lways mindful in some way of the Owl Within, I started studying the occult and unusual at the age of 12. Some things I've discounted, some I've kept. I have always looked for the truths that are common among various religions, traditions, and cultures - the resources & practices that have persisted through thousands of years. I look for what is practical and worthy, and consider the test of usefulness to be the best. Some things I can't explain, but I know they are useful and trustworthy.

In the 1970s I worked in what was then called "New Age" modalities - producing and editing a newsletter and teaching workshops. At that time, I couldn't find a way to make a living from it, so I did the "normal" thing and got a job with a company. I spent 30 years there, surrounded by engineers and business people, up until the end of 2006.

I've now returned to my first love, leading people back to themselves in a Spiritual and affirming way. I have scads of experience in the real workaday world and, having continued my reading and studies in more occult directions, even more varied learning, often with the finest practioners in their fields, combined with practical life and work experience to bring to the table.
