About Ara
For over 30 years I've been supporting people from around the world to shift how they see themselves and the world around them. With love, compassion, and a touch of humour, my work is all about helping you discover your own answers and experience your own clarity — so you feel more empowered, grounded, and guided from within.
My approach centers on you: who you are, what matters most to you, and how you want to live more fully. I also share perspectives from Spirit that support truth, connection, and healing.
As my own evolution has deepened, the movement from seeking to being has moved to the forefront — expressed subtly yet meaningfully in everything I offer.
What I love most is witnessing the moment your inner knowing rises up and you begin to trust yourself again. That's where real transformation begins.
Sessions
What a Session Is
A session is a grounded conversation where we explore whatever comes up, based on where your focus is. I offer guidance, and sometimes insights come from Spirit and higher energies.
As the Founder and Creator of the I AM Journey of Transformation, I bring the energy of the I AM into every part of our work together. This can mean learning to shape your life with intention instead of force, finding clarity by trusting yourself instead of only looking outside for answers, and staying present as life unfolds. With the tools and guidance I offer, you can naturally build more self-trust, gain clarity, and feel more in control of what your life can become.

I AM Journey
The I AM Journey is a self-guided practice designed for those ready to turn inward and develop a deeper relationship with their own awareness.
Through daily journaling and reflection, you're invited to notice how you feel, how awareness moves, and what naturally arises when attention comes back to yourself. There is no pressure to activate, fix, or accelerate anything — only a supportive framework for stabilizing attention, cultivating clarity, and allowing your own wisdom to surface in its own timing.
This is well suited for those beginning their inward exploration, or anyone feeling called to deepen self-trust and embodied awareness at their own pace.
Available as a 6-month package or month-to-month.

Before You Begin
Honest answers to the questions most people arrive with.
Can I come with a specific issue or situation I’m dealing with?
Absolutely. Your life experiences—relationships, grief, transitions, questions, and challenges—matter. The external world often provides important signals and patterns that point toward what is happening within. Sessions offer a space where these experiences can be explored without judgment, urgency, or pressure.
What if I'm feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain?
That’s often why people come. Feeling stuck or overwhelmed doesn’t mean something is wrong—it usually means something is asking for attention. Sessions are a space to meet those feelings with steadiness and care, allowing clarity to emerge at a pace that feels right for you.
Will you tell me what’s going to happen in the future?
The focus of this work is not prediction, but awareness and understanding in the present moment. While intuitive insight may touch on possibilities or themes, the emphasis remains on supporting your relationship with yourself and your life as it is unfolding now.
What can I expect to leave a session with?
Every session is unique. People often leave with a greater sense of clarity, reassurance, grounding, or self-trust. Some feel more settled, others feel gently opened. There is no single outcome to expect—only a supportive space for conducive to relief, healing and moving through grief.
To experience a reading from Ara is almost indescribable
What could possibly be said that didn’t sound clichéd?
Well for one thing I had a reading with Ara several years ago, that for me removed any doubt in her abilities and her clarity in communicating with guides and spirits. My mother had passed several months before, and I was very close to her. When Ara started the reading, she said two things, and if those were the only two things she would have ever said, I would still profess her wonderful talents.
She described things about my mother that only someone that knew her or talked to her would know. She also repeated something that I would say to my mother every night when I left her side at the hospital that only my mother and I knew. To have it given to me word for word, gave me the warmest rush that I had felt in some time. No one, not my father, not my wife, knew what I whispered to my mother every night.
To experience a reading from Ara is almost indescribable, it’s something you have to see, hear and feel for yourself.

I never doubt any of the information given to me by Ara
I have had several readings with Ara and she has also approached me on several other occasions with messages from the other side. The info that her guides relay to her and her ability to interpret the info. never cease to amaze me. The accuracy is astounding. Ara’s mediumship is just as wonderful and it is always a thrill to speak with loved ones from the other side. I never doubt any of the information given to me by Ara… I fondly think of her as “the female John Edward.

I'd recommend Ara to anyone
Ara facilitated a life changing experience for me last year when I first went to see her. I was trying to make sense of my grandma’s passing and she was able to deliver a loving and powerful message to me that far exceeded my expectations. She validated things about my mother’s health and pieced together events that no one could have known about. I believe she is authentic and more importantly, the impact of our first meeting has fundamentally shifted my attitude towards life and life after we leave this world. Ara is amazing in her accuracy, gentle and tactful way of delivering messages, and ability to exude warmth and eliminate fear. I’d recommend Ara to anyone.

I felt lighter, more joyful and like the world was full of possibilities
This process was extremely transformative for me. Prior to embarking on the I AM journey I didn’t realize how negative my thoughts were. Ive been involved in the world of therapy for years and have all sorts of tools but I was never able to make sustainable change in how I felt. I often felt like life happened to me and that I wasn’t able to choose how to show up in my life. I overly identified with the struggles I’ve been through and I didn’t know how to break out of my cycle of feeling stuck and sad. I noticed positive changes in my life within the first few days of this process. I felt lighter, more joyful and like the world was full of possibilities where I hadn’t seen them before. I feel so hopeful and excited for my future in a way that I hadn’t felt since I was a child. I would absolutely recommend this process to anyone. If you show up and put in the work then magic will happen for you too.

Even throughout the first few days you will start noticing a shift
The “I AM Journal of Transformation” has had a HUGE impact on my life. It has been such an instrumental tool in helping me shift to a more positive perspective, break through a cycle of depression, and start manifesting the things I wanted.
This journal takes you by the hand and guides you day-by-day for 30 days to show you how powerful your focus and your thoughts are. Even throughout the first few days you will start noticing a shift in your energy and the things around you, and by the end you will be in such amazement by how much YOU can actually change your life!
