When I first arrived in the Philippines I fell immediately in love with the natural beauty, people, food, and history. The house we were assigned in San Miguel was on the South China Sea facing west with views of the Capone Islands and fabulous sunsets right from my bedroom windows! The beach was a 10 minute walk from my house. This beach remains my favorite spot, EVER! I often visualize this place during meditations or as a relief from stressful moments or to help me fall asleep.

I went to San Miguel Beach almost everyday for the year I lived there. I could walk for miles. One could swim, body surf, kayak or snorkel. I saw beautiful fish and coral reefs just like the Jacques Cousteau documentaries I watched growing up. Sometimes I would walk south about a mile to a popular surfing spot. My dad taught me how to surf there. I was never good at surfing but it’s a nice memory of my dad.

It was a place where a river met the ocean and a lagoon had formed. On Sundays, the local farmers would rest their carabao or water buffalo there. The carabao were brought to this lagoon to soak and rest peacefully in the cool water after a week of plowing through rice fields. I liked the way the Filipinos treated their carabao. They were kind and respectful to them. I enjoyed swimming in that lagoon with the carabao and talking to them. I’d be right up in their big cow eyes with long eye lashes. Their faces were cute and fuzzy although overall they were quite big and powerful. They seemed wise and had a peaceful vibe. They were my friends.

This beach and all it offered was an early great gift. I sure threw a fit when we had to leave to move to our permanent home in Subic. Ugh! I’m forever grateful for my year living on the South China Sea in magical San Miguel. It provided me with what I needed to be at peace, learn to go within, and realize I had something special to offer and I didn’t yet know what it was. But I had a sense that it would involve teaching , animals and what I later learned was metaphysics.

Another gift was given to me when at 15 I began working at the local kindergarten. I was under the guidance of 3 innovative and open minded teachers that believed in me and showed me what a life of teaching might be like. By 16, I was teaching lessons to all 3 classes at once. I was hooked and knew that I would become a teacher.

I spent 30 years teaching kids, coaching teachers, and mentoring new teachers in elementary schools in California. I worked with second language learners and mostly in the lower grades. Being a teacher and all it involved helped to grow my intuitive skills. Each relationship was meaningful and had purpose, especially the challenging ones. What I got from teaching seemed to make up for the lack of support and quality teaching I felt from my own nightmarish experiences going to school. I wanted to be better for my students. I loved being a teacher and it was another great gift.

At 29, By no accident, I met Saireh Woods. SHE changed everything for me. Saireh would become my psychic teacher and friend. She was the real deal. She had integrity and class, and was so authentic. She gave me a great foundation in the basics of psychic work, prehistory, tarot, past lives, energy work, angels, spirits and all things metaphysical. I continued to learn everything I could that would hone my skills. I hoped one day I might be a fraction as good as Saireh.

At this time, I became aware that there were many women around me that were mentors. Beautiful, positive, women that selflessly gave of themselves to teach and empower me. They were another huge gift. They deserve a shout out. Thank you Maria Cordova, Dr, Barbara Ray, Jill Bisho, Karen Foster, RANA SIMMONS, Maria Sevilla, Georgette Toldi, and Susan Pitou. Thank you!

In 1997, a dream came true when we moved to Monterey, California! It was my dream to live there in a little cottage by the sea with lovely gardens and animals. I imagined living in Monterey since seventh grade when in chorus we sang a song called “Monterey’. Little did I know then.

7 years ago I retired from teaching and received the almost best gift yet. This is the gift of time and resources to explore my interests. I read, learned, and traveled . I started tracing the steps of my musical, literary and artistic idols. I went on a Bowie, William Blake and Voltaire Pilgrimage! I’m far from done with traveling and exploring different cultures and loves. Each journey, museum, and inspiring building sharpens my psychic abilities and urges me to be bolder. It has been shown to me that now I must “put myself out there” and assist others in developing their own spiritual gifts. That is why I started Psychic Readings by Tammy and God willing, I will soon begin a live stream show about spirituality with an old friend. I’m not bold by nature. I’m typically quiet unless I have something to say. This is a big leap of faith on my part. But like I always told my students, Believe In Yourself!

I could not do any of this without the support, understanding and generosity of my Man -REY! He’s my champion and hero. Saireh told me (on our very first meeting) that we attract the soul we deserve. There are many ways to interpret that idea. I believe it means Rey was gifted to me, at this time in our karmic evolution, to allow me to grow. HE was my most best gift.

I hope this page will be a valuable resource for those seeking to expand their consciousness and evolve. Soon I will include weekly updates of channeled messages for our collective as well as other inspirational bits.

Thank you kindly!
