August 2000
In 2000 my "psychic sensors" went haywire. My eldest daughter was born in May. With the birth of a child your intuitive side often accelerates Most of us have stories where we know something is wrong or not right when it comes to our children. A parents instinct. I was showed many different ways of "Communication" when I become a Mum. As like most new parents there is not much time to sit down and rest. I didn't have the time to still my mind and meditate as often as I wanted to but I still received my "information". It was not uncommon to have lights turned on or off when I needed to take notice of my spirituality and listen to what I was being shown!
In 2003 at 34 years, I had my second daughter. Family, work and life, we all know how busy it is. It is a difficult time trying to find time for meditation and development but there is a will there is a way. I attended as many spiritual meetings as I could and made the effort to meditate even if it was in the bath.

Life changes and a new direction
My girls in 2003
To me spirituality is a part of you. I believe it is as important as eating and sleeping. I don't call it a religion, it is a way of life. As my girls started growing I had more time to learn. My "me time" which I worked hard to fit into an already tight schedule, was very precious and I was able to put this time to good use.
My life changed again when myself and my girls Dad decided to separate. The girls were two and five and started staying at their Dads one week night and alternate weekends. This gave me the time to really study hard and take as many workshops, courses and attend retreats. I started being part of various Spiritual Expos and I was doing a lot more readings. I started forming new friends with readers, healers, therapists and practitioners. With these changes I also felt it was time to explore some other career pathways. I had this nagging feeling it was time to try something new. I was drawn to education. Over the next few years I studied at Christchurch College of Education and Canterbury University as I was very interested in dyslexia.

Time to step up and take action
Reading at an expo - 2010
I decided, with coaxing from my guides, it was time to stop having my "spirituality" as just an interest. It was time to step up. I officially started my business and called it Talanta Body and Soul. Finding a name was easy - I made the name Talanta as it is both of my girls name ran together. I started to run monthly spiritual expos in Canterbury. With having a love of crystals I also started selling crystals, tarot cards, pendulums and other metaphysical tools. I was privileged to meet and work alongside some very talented readers, healers, practitioners, therapists and spiritual teachers. I was blessed they became part of my expos.
It was very difficult time working, studying and raising a family. Looking back I don't know how I managed on a few hours a night sleep but it was worth it. I am so grateful I went down the path as it turned out in years to come this knowledge become very invaluable as I help a child in my own family who has dyslexia.

Earthquakes bumping me to a new destination
Our favourite park 100 metres from our home in Christchurch
Yes I knew there were some changes coming but I did not know what they were. I lived in Avonside, Christchurch, beside the beautiful Avon river. The September earthquake was start of some very big changes for not just me, but many New Zealanders.
Saturday 4 September 2010. 7.1 earthquake occurred near Christchurch at 4.35 a.m. My wind chimes made the faintest tinkle and being a light sleeper as I was immediately awake. My heart pounded with uneasiness. I heard a roar like nothing I have ever heard before. The house seems to explode with noise. I fumbled for my glasses and leapt out of bed. The sound of smashing glass and falling objects and the creaking of house I tried to run blindly to my daughters room. It was so dark and the noise was loud. I could not stand up properly. I got hit in the head with something solid. I felt my feet standing on unseen objects and tried to guide myself along the hall wall in the pitch black. My mind raced as I tried to decipher what was happening.
The damage of the September earthquake is well documented. We had no power or water for days. Yes the house had damaged but it was fixable. I know people that had lost their homes but not their spirit. I feel closer to people than I ever have. I hugged strangers in the street that shared their story. One of my heart touching stories for me is our dear friend parent’s cook us beautiful hot roast dinner and gave us thermos of hot water. We passed this gift on and shared our meal with our neighbour across the street. I will never forget this. We danced and cheered when our power came on. We rang the power company to thank them. These work men all have their families and homes broken as well but put their work first to us all. I thank all the people who are doing their part to rebuild our city and our hopes when we were in the midst of the disaster.Over the next 5 months life went back to a new routine as the city started to repair. I was busier with readings and healing as were many other spiritual professionals.
Avonside and many other areas in Canterbury were still being repaired when it happened again.
Tuesday 22nd February 2011, 6.3 earthquake struck at 12.51pm. This time it killed 185 people and injured several thousand. We were uninjured. Avonside was badly affected again. My suburb was broken and it was not going to get repaired. My family is part of NZ history and I feel truly blessed at how well we have come through this. Yes - it changed my life but as time goes on the wounds heal , our future is bright. We have felt true compassion and empathy for each other. No matter where in the world we end up living we always share that memory, that spirit and interaction in our hearts and lives forever.
It was time for me to move on.
