Background
The Deeper Story
SylvanWise Integrated Journeys offers intuitive, astrological, and numerological services, workshops, and classes for those who seek deeper insights on their path of spiritual, personal, and professional development through the exploration of a tapestry of metaphysical and career development topics. Topics include astrology, numerology, tarot, mediumship, totems, dream interpretations, sacred space, energy work, lightworker and empath exploration, chakras, auras, crystals, and metaphysical studies.
My work is rooted in both lived experience and decades of guiding others through real-life decisions, transitions, and personal growth.
I was raised in a home where intuitive awareness, energy sensitivity, and spiritual exploration were part of everyday life. My father worked as an energy healer, and my mother carried the lineage of a fifth-generation psychic medium. In this environment, “Know Thyself” was not an idea, it was a way of living.
From an early age, I began exploring the systems that help us understand ourselves more deeply. By the age of ten, I was studying astrology. As a teenager, I was working with energy for healing. Meditation, chakra awareness, and intuitive development were woven into my early years, alongside a strong respect for science, research, and grounded understanding.
This combination of intuitive depth and practical awareness became a defining thread in my life.
Professionally, I spent nearly four decades in higher education, with 35 of those years devoted to the Career Planning department, where I helped shape the systems, resources, and support structures that served students through some of the most defining decisions of their lives. As a Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) and Certified Career Services Professional (CCSP), I led a cross-functional team of professionals and worked to strengthen the department’s ability to foster self-awareness, clarify direction, and help students make choices aligned with who they are. This work was not simply about vocation. It was about creating meaningful pathways for growth, discernment, and forward movement.
This work was never separate from my spiritual path. It was an extension of it.
Over time, these two worlds, the practical and the intuitive, came together to form the foundation of how I guide.
I have worked as an intuitive guide, astrologer, spiritual development mentor, and facilitator of metaphysical study and growth. Through this integration, I created SylvanWise Integrated Journeys as a way to bring these elements into a cohesive and accessible experience for others.
My work is not about offering answers for you to follow. It is about helping you understand yourself well enough to recognize your own answers with clarity and confidence.
A Note on How I Work
I use multiple modalities as part of a unified system of guidance, not as separate or competing tools.
Astrology reveals timing and structure.
Numerology highlights patterns and cycles.
Tarot and intuitive insight bring forward present-moment awareness.
Meditation and energy work support alignment and integration.
Together, they create a clearer, more complete understanding of your life and your path forward.
My Work With You
When we work together, the focus is not on prediction or dependency. It is on strengthening your ability to understand yourself, trust your insight, and move through your life with clarity and intention.
You are not here to be told what to do.
You are here to learn how to recognize what is true for you.
That is the work.
I have worked with Deann numerous times, and she has an indescribable way of tuning into your personal circumstances to help you see things more clearly. She has shared strong insights about my immediate family and has always been accurate. Deann has a way of sharing what she sees while also empowering you to use that information to make the best decisions for yourself and your family.
