Deann's 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.

Immersed in an extraordinary environment nurtured by a father, a natural healer and scholar of world religions, and a mother, a 5th generation psychic medium, my siblings and I were privy to an unconventional upbringing.

 

Our early years were rich with teachings that others might have deemed peculiar or enigmatic. We were introduced to the art of meditation at the tender age of three, taught to honor the scientific and the spiritual, and to maintain high personal vibrations and intentions. Our household was an arena of open-minded exploration where every spiritual encounter was delved into, every dream was dissected, and every question, no matter how profound or outlandish, was pondered with earnest curiosity.

At the age of ten, I embarked on my own explorative journey into astrology, numerology, and symbology, while my sister Jody, a year younger, was drawn to the Tarot and communicating with 'imaginary' friends. Our brother, though more reserved, was blessed with prophetic dreams and a vigilant guardian angel. Jody and I, the Sisters Two, reveled in sharing our discoveries and insights, blending typical childhood tea parties with the mystical art of reading tea leaves and exchanging psychic impressions. Our parents' experiences taught us the value of discretion about our studies, shaping our understanding that while our path was sacred, it was also private.

My professional life flourished in the realm of higher education, where for nearly four decades, I thrived as a Career Development Coordinator, harnessing my qualifications as a Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) and Certified Career Services Professional (CCSP). I relished guiding students through the labyrinth of self-discovery, helping them identify their intrinsic strengths and chart their career paths. Parallel to this, my evenings were dedicated to teaching spiritual development classes, continuing the legacy of learning and exploration.

 

My spiritual journey has led me to study at hallowed institutions like the Arthur Findley College in England and to investigate sites imbued with mystery like San Diego's Whaley House and Fullerton's Fox Theater. I've been graced with the wisdom of numerous esteemed mentors, leading and participating in spiritual circles that have further enriched my life and understanding.
 

Despite my extensive knowledge and experience, I refrain from labeling myself an expert in any singular field. My essence lies in guiding others to "Know Thyself," to recognize and honor their divine core, and to seamlessly blend their practical and spiritual lives into a journey that explores the depths of their purpose. My role as a Know Your Soul maven is to illuminate the connections between the various facets of one's existence, inspiring individuals to weave these threads into a rich tapestry that reveals and enhances their soul's journey. My fulfillment comes from witnessing others embrace their unique essence, taking command of their path toward enlightenment, growth, and gratitude.

I am profoundly thankful for the harmonious integration of my physical and spiritual paths, for finding my joy, and for refining my abilities. Dedicated to learning, teaching, and providing insights, I am here to assist others in merging their worldly knowledge and talents with their spiritual pursuits and gifts.

 

If you seek to understand your soul, desire personalized and curated readings, or wish to explore your spiritual/metaphysical journey, I am here to provide the tools and resources to support your next steps on this soul-enriching path.

 

Let our connection be a catalyst for you to weave together and cherish every aspect of your journey.
