Individuals
Do you allow your past challenges and failures to define and limit your potential success,
causing doubts to creep in,
leaving you feeling disempowered & scared?
Have you trained your brain to become your own worst critic,
allowing negative mind chatter to shatter your confidence,
causing you not to like yourself,
paralyzing your ability to make decisions and get things done?
Have you been struggling at school or work,
making you feel not smart or good enough,
leaving you frustrated with your brain?

About Me: A Path to Purpose
Have you ever felt the weight of unmet expectations? I certainly have. My journey, rooted in a small Vermont town, began as the third of four sisters, destined to play the "black sheep" role. ADHD was my constant companion, fueling extreme emotions and a penchant for chaos. Yet, it gifted me a unique ability—the power to read the emotions and feelings of others like a weathervane.
My struggles with focus, impulse control, and spelling set me apart in a family of accomplished academics. Report cards filled with C’s and D’s and comments of laziness and a lack of tact were my reality. I vividly recall asking my mother what "tact" meant; her response stung, "It's something you don't have and will never understand."
I soon learned that avoiding effort hurt less than trying and falling short.
The Crossroads
In high school, I honed my masking skills—I appeared as a preppy girl, but underneath, self-loathing and substance abuse clouded my life. My intensity and directness earned me the title of student leader. Teenagers gravitate to rebels. However, the end of my freshman year brought a journal entry that foretold change, "I am in a deep dark pit, and I need someone to throw me a rope." Little did I know that rope was just within reach.
The sound of a car colliding with a human body at 50 mph is haunting. A car struck my friend and me during an underage drinking party on a dark country road. He did not survive; I landed in the ditch.
The next morning, seeking refuge at a friend's house, her mother gently hugged my bruised body and whispered, "Everything happens for a reason. Make the best of this horrible situation."
I stood at a crossroads, faced with a choice—continue down a path of self-destruction or take the rope and climb.
Uncovering My Purpose
Marriage to my incredible husband marked a new beginning. We joined a boarding school where I witnessed students struggling to meet expectations, much like I had. It ignited a calling within me. I pursued a Masters in Special Education.
This pursuit allowed me to hyper-focus on my studies, graduating with all A’s for the first time. Returning to the boarding school, I established their learning center, trained faculty, served on admissions committees, and championed the appreciation of diverse thinking.
By championing the value of neuro-distinct students, I learned to value myself. Over 25 years, I dedicated my life to supporting neuro-divergent students. However, I realized my purpose was not merely helping them meet others' expectations; it was about creating a world that cherished them as the influential thought leaders they are born to be. Change was needed.
Discovering My Mission
After teaching in person during the COVID pandemic, I sat on my screened-in porch, drained and uninspired. The universe heard my plea for a greater mission. An email announcing a discounted course called "Psychic Exploration" from AskTheo appeared on my phone screen.
This course validated my innate abilities as a healer, communicator with souls who've passed, and connector with people's spirit guides. I used these talents with my students and friends, reminding them of their purpose and mission as change-makers and connecting with loved ones who had transitioned. My spirit guides began sending clear messages about my next steps.
That's when Ignite Change Makers was born, aiming to dispel stigmas and unlock the full potential of neuro-distinct individuals and other change-makers. I work with individuals, families, and organizations, breaking through barriers using my intuition, offering practical guidance, embracing innovation, and thinking outside the box to help them create the inspiring, abundant lives they deserve.
Welcome to Ignite Change Makers, where we ignite your potential and illuminate your path to greatness.
Testimonial: A Journey of Healing and Self-Worth with Gail
"My sessions with Gail have been nothing short of life-changing. Through her guidance, I've been able to confront and clear the triggers that were holding me back from living my best life.
Our sessions delved into the depths of my emotional landscape, from healing old wounds tied to my mother's passing to unraveling the mystery of my fear of the dark. Gail's compassionate and intuitive approach helped me navigate these challenging emotional territories with grace and understanding.
But what truly sets Gail apart is her unwavering belief in her clients' worthiness. Through her support, I not only cleared away the shadows of my past but also discovered a profound sense of self-worth. This newfound confidence has allowed me to not only attract love into my life but also create a life filled with passion, one that feeds my soul.
If you're seeking transformative sessions that go beyond the surface, if you're ready to heal, grow, and rediscover your self-worth, I wholeheartedly recommend Gail. Her sessions are a gateway to a brighter, more fulfilled life, and I am forever grateful for her guidance.”
