Debbie came upon the metaphysical scene “almost by accident”, as she would describe it, and calls herself a “real late bloomer” on the spiritual path. Debbie had a very conventional and conservative Roman Catholic upbringing in a military family where “aliens and UFOs were just never discussed” and what mattered was the material world in which we inhabit. “Although I had an ordinary childhood, I always felt like I was ‘different’ from the people around me, as I was a lot more sensitive and introspective than my family members.” She spent her formative years traveling with her family throughout Europe and Australia, “soaking up all of the history, art, and culture of each place we visited. I was fortunate to have loving and progressive parents who wanted us to experience the world and everything it had to offer.
