 Hey, it's Bridget. I am your intuitive life and energy coach. I'm also the founder of Above Life channel on YouTube and the Sunday Morning Coffee podcast. So today I'm going to share with you a life resume. I was kind of joking about this actually when I was trying to do stuff to do my new website here. I thought, I don't want to list out my resume. That's kind of ridiculous for spiritual work. And then I thought, maybe not. Maybe it would be interesting for you to kind of see the evolution of the work that I've done over the last 20 years. Like, yeah, it's been 20 years that I've been doing spiritual work. We'll call it that. I started off doing medium ship ship. Two years after my father died is when I literally had this whole like explosion of opening the floodgates to my psychic gifts. I always thought everybody was really creative and clairvoyant and visionary and visual and all that. And I just thought I was creative. And it turns out I'm just extraordinarily clairvoyant. And so, yeah, that was back in 2004. So this year, as I'm recording this, it'll be 20 years. Yeah. So I'm very fortunate to have been able to then start a business shortly thereafter with the encouragement of a friend when we were using we were trying to think of how to raise money for the breast cancer three day. And we were going to travel to do it to actually such a San Diego. And so she suggested that I do readings for people because I was doing them anyway, just because it felt like the right thing to do. And so I did and I got the donations to be able to take the trip and to donate the fund. So that's kind of how everything started. And it was a kind of a side business type thing, a little hobby business for a while. And then eventually it wouldn't be until 2008, in December 2008, is when I left my full time job in the public sector, working in human resources. I was a staffing administrator at a large government agency in Minnesota. And I left that work to to impart do my business and also raise my children. So I had I was having my fourth baby at that time. So it all the timing just aligned. So all right, so I'm going to share with you some of the things over the years. So you have a sense of what I've done. I've done a lot of retreats. I shouldn't say a lot because it's not like I do them every year. But retreats was the thing that I kind of first started out doing because I enjoyed that. I thought it was I just thought it was a cool way to bring people together. So this was my first retreat that I did in September of 2005 for the weekend. And we were at a home together for the weekend. And I had a whole little agenda. The purpose was to scut to discover the light within you and reconnect with your spirit. Nice, that's pretty simple. I mean, in its old school, like, you know, paper, then these aren't going to necessarily be in order because some of them are like one right on top of the other and stuff. So I also did a I've done a couple of different retreats here in Minnesota in the last from like 20, 2017 or 18, I did one. And then 2019, I did one as well. So I did them here. I also have done a couple others over the years. And central Minnesota, I did one. I did a couple at the same place I was at here. And this was in Wisconsin. So I probably I'd say I've done six or seven retreats that I've hosted and coordinated. They're a lot of work, by the way. If you ever think about doing them, it's a good idea to do them with other people because it's a lot of work. But they're fun, though, and they're really enjoyable to do. This was back in 2007, I had a party where I shared my vision with my friends and family and clients at the time. So I back in 2007, this was June 2007, I was actually working throughout the early the fall before that 2006 and into 2007 at a women's health center. And I did I was teaching meditation classes. So I was doing experiences there in person. And then I also did some private energy sessions there, because I had also got my certification in Reiki, which is not my favorite, by the way. Like if I have a choice, if somebody's going to work on me, I don't I don't like I don't choose Reiki, I would choose more of a healing touch. I've I also have certification in healing touch level one and level two. But that was right after Reiki. So healing touch level one and level two, I think was in 2006 is when I did that through the College of St. Catherine here in in Minneapolis, through their holistic health care program. It was like a continuing education class for like nurses and health care professionals. And also the community could participate. So I I took that class I registered and took that college class over the weekend. So again, that's called healing touch very heart based. I love that one. So this these are my Reiki certifications here. And the first one I got was August 17 2005. And the second one I got was in December of 2005. So August and December of 2005, I did Reiki. Now that was long before it was a thing, you know, so it was kind of a, I got some friends together and we were we ended up going to this class together. So I mentioned that I'm a coach. I'm actually a life coach, like I've had all the hours of training and certification from the International Center of Coaching in Minneapolis. And I graduated. So it was multiple weekend classes taught, like there's a multiple hours. I don't know how many hours it says it was, but it was a lot. Yeah, it was a lot. Anyway, it was great. It was life changing. But that was I graduated in October, October 16 2006. So I did that. That also was really helpful in my HR work, because at that time I did performance management. I also did organizational development and learning. And so my life coaching certification was helpful then. So that was in October 2006. And then let's see. Oh, and I got this certificate during I think it was late the late 1990s. I actually started working on my master's degree in public administration at Hamlin University in Minnesota here in St. Paul. And they had just started their law school not long before that. And so the public administration and the law school were kind of partners. And they had a series called the alternative dispute resolution where the law students could do it, but also the public administration students could do it. So I took that series where you get on the state Supreme Court list for mediation or arbitration. So I took that whole series, which was fascinating. That was like late I think it was 98 or probably 99 actually. Now that's not a psychic thing necessarily, but the conflict dispute resolution piece comes into play here because I also have a what would you call it a certification from it was a training, a circle keeper training for restorative justice from Washington County for community circles for being a facilitator for community circles to help heal the harm. It was in part co facilitated by a Lakota medicine man who happens to be one of my mentors who now is in the afterlife. You've heard me talk about red turtle bear. He was one of the co facilitators of this and he's actually traveled he traveled internationally to do this kind of training for restorative justice. It's called being a circle keeper. So I got that in October of 2005 as well that was on the 29th of October. And then let's see I also have I have a certification of ministry. So I am actually certified or licensed and I'm licensed in the state of Minnesota because I registered my certification. I can do weddings and I can also oversee baptisms you know rituals like that and then also memorial services and things like that. I haven't done any memorial memorial services. I don't think I've done any baptisms either. But I've done weddings. I've done like three or four four weddings I think. Yeah. Most recently two years ago I did one. So I have a certain credentials of ministry and that I got in 2010 August 2010 that as well. And then let's see I have these are just now these are just the sort of certifications that I found. I've attended other workshops and things like I took a shaman journey class over the course of a weekend that was offered at Lake Harriet Spiritual Community Center by a woman who's a very well respected shaman in our area in St. Paul actually area. And she's also an animal communicator. And so I did that. I can't remember the dates of that. It was probably 2010 11 something like that maybe 12 something like that. But I did that as well. That was when I got one of my animal totems Margaret and she is a sea turtle. And so yeah I'm very comfortable with the animal totems as spirit guides. Okay so then let's see I in during the 2020 thing that happened like in the spring remember that yeah I remember that. I actually took a class that I had this opportunity I love horses I really I don't ride I've never had a horse but I love them they're such intuitive creatures and I've been drawn to them and I met a woman at an x1 event that I was speaking at and she had this whole therapy the therapeutic setup around her horses and she worked with school districts and youth and she worked with women in difficult situations in life transition she did a lot and she did things I think she did stuff with recovery and addiction to them not 100% sure but she's in northern Minnesota and she was amazing and so she introduced me to the work with horses and I just fell in love with it and so I found out where she got some of her credentialing from other as a as a therapist lots of therapists took this class and I had the opportunity to take it as a coach because I was a certified coach so I was able to apply and be accepted into this program it's natural life from in ship it's working with horses and it's equine assisted therapy or equine assisted coaching and so I took it again trauma informed care based and I was in this class with all these other therapists and it was like whoa but I did it all online and during the that time when we were all stuck at home that's why I did it online because I was supposed to go there but they had to cancel all that so I did it for four months it was a lot of work it was 30 continuing education credits for therapists and psychologists and it was amazing it was amazing so it gives me a real balance of understanding relationship because that's the primed thing in working with horses and things in healing and like feeling into the body and the natural rhythmic repetitive movement of the body and the body is so important and intuitive work and an energy work yeah okay so I have some others also that I did not share that I don't know if I have them in here or not oh I do good I do um I also I did a weekend a soulful women's retreat weekend in San Rafael uh California which is kind of by the San Francisco Bay Area and that was um that is when I met Ariel Spillsbury and Elaine Kalila Sophia um Dowdy and um it was just an incredible yeah soulful women's experience we'll say it was just really amazing but that was when I was exposed to divine feminine archetypal energies and priestessing work and um it just wow changed a lot for me it was a heavy duty a lot of work and I wasn't ready to go deep into that work that was back in 2013 at that time but I I got introduced to it kind of attuned to it and then came back to it when I was ready to really dig in deeper to archetypal energies and work with the divine feminine in different ways so um I did that in 2013 and Ariel Spillsbury is the one that is the 13 moon mystery school a woman who channeled in this really interesting in an incredibly powerful archetypal energies and so it's a there's a 13 moon oracle deck you can purchase that is that so and then Elaine ended up creating her own priestess temple called priestess presence you can look that up and she actually has a card deck too it's across the room here though um a Magdalene rose deck again her name is Elaine Kalila Sophia uh Dowdy and she was a psychotherapist and then just really full on embodied the divine feminine work and she's in California area to Nevada City though if she does retreats and things there but she has a huge online temple so you can check that out priestess presence as well she's one of the people that I initially was connected into and kind of worked with her energy the energy that she brought through so I also have at that retreat that I was at I met a woman who owns earth harmony wellness center in Dover, New Hampshire so if you're in the New Hampshire area or anywhere out there just take a weekend trip and head over to Dover, New Hampshire to earth harmony wellness the oasis shop she has a storefront there with gorgeous crystals and tools and supplies such a loving environment and she does healing work and and she is a priestess in the divine feminine 13 moon 13 moon mystery school but she's also when she and I met she was doing a lot of healing work through um the Camadon Academy which is known as the mm method or Melchizedek method not the guy that you look up online Melchizedek that does like the et stuff not that it's different than that it's Alton Alton Camden it's out of Australia he actually did a beautiful speech before the United Nations about peace and planetary peace and you know vibrational healing and meditation and that kind of thing so he's just quite interesting quite an interesting fellow um but I took levels one through four from her of the Melchizedek method which is a high vibrational attunement where in I mean it's in incredibly intensive okay and I went out there what four times to do the work with the workshops over the course of several years I think I started in 2015 and went for the first time when I started getting visits from this Melchizedek guy I'm like who are you you kind of look like an angel Razio but you're not kind of look like a Santa to me and it turns out it was Melchizedek and I knew that I you know because I finally got the name because you know with me with names it's nothing and so I called her up and I said hey dude's coming to me now so I think I need to come and take one of your classes so I did and then I took the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one and it's really using like energy from Thoth and energy from like emerald tablet kind of wisdom we're talking about here and the Egyptians and just really advanced metaphysical energies of light codes and encodements with using sacred geometry and ancient as well as future energies it's really really really powerful and so I am up through level four with Melchizedek method yeah so it's a known for deep clearing work so when you have somebody that needs a house cleared that's the kind of person you want is somebody that has had that attunement and or a person it's really good for releasing the old for release men and clearing work and I've always done clearing work I've always been that person and because I had so many paranormal experiences growing up and I'm very clairvoyant as well as claircentient so I see and I feel sense I've always had the ability to be able to connect with psychic kids and really help them at a higher consciousness level kind of set up the grids in their home and then like working with the parents and that kind of a thing I've also done work with children who do not speak who are non-verbal and communicating with their higher self I've done that I've had that opportunity I've done some I've talked to some recognizable people but I don't share my client list or anything like that so I've had quite an interesting experience and and recently now we're about five months out from my near-death experience I actually had emergency open heart surgery when I was actually out for a week out on the east coast and that was a whole experience in and of itself and so now I'm working with some deeper earth grid energies and grounding and really working through the process of understanding what that means for me now and part of it you're seeing here is me getting the opportunity to share with you and pass along with you the knowledge wisdom and experience that I've had and I have this I know that I have this unique ability to talk with your brain just as much as I can communicate and connect with the metaphysical I can talk to you analytically because I am a recovering overthinker I'm still an overthinker but I used to be a major type A personality and now life is different for me so I work on a basic premise of body mind heart and soul and those four aspects of you are simply what I look at and what I work with so it's really easy just four little blocks that I look into and then I see the grid system around you and I see where things are lit up where there's an opportunity for something to be shift or moved or brought into your awareness or just let go without having to go deep and figure it out and know but a lot of times my clients do need to talk about things and and really think through them which is fine but while that's happening we're moving energy your healing team and your spiritual helpers are moving energy but that's why I offer different types of coaching style sessions too like on track coaching which is much more project based accountability based that kind of thing but also with an energetic and intuitive base to it so you can use all your your resources so yeah all right so that is my life resume it's pretty long now probably but at least up to this point and I'm sure I forgot multiple things I'm I'm thinking sitting here going I'm sure I forgot multiple things but there you go and all that doesn't really matter as far as how credentialed I am what matters is is do you and I fit are we a fit like do I resonate like do you resonate with me do I resonate with you for this time that you're in for where you're at right now and if you're watching this still they answer that question is probably a yes so now just go look at the services the menu of services and see what's available and see what you can tap into maybe it's one of the monthly groups the inspiring psychic experience that I offer or maybe it's an energetic forecast once a month or maybe it's a private session or maybe it's a twin flame scenario that you want to work through or maybe you're a priestess and it's priestess coaching there's a whole wide variety the sky's the limit right hey thanks for watching
