It Felt Like A Baptism by Fire

It Felt Like A Baptism by Fire

My Mother's death became my birth into ministry

Sandra considers herself to be all things spiritual, then clarifies she is not a part of any religious body. As a spiritual councillor, nondenominational minister, actor, singer, shaman, wedding officiant and more, she sees her role as a spiritual councillor that supports one quest to find and experience a deeper meaning in life, death, and marriage ceremonies.

She is vibrant, kind, articulate, fashionable, quick to smile, has an open heart filled with wisdom and a free spirit. She lives in NYC with her husband and has emersed herself in many spiritual pathways through life. And found that acting was one way for her voice and expression to be heard. 

As a child, she recalls being highly intuitive, having visions, invisible playmates and many metaphysical abilities and experiences. As a child, her parents were open to her spiritual experiences, but at some point, she says, these experiences became less acceptable and were placed under a blanket, hidden from sight.

Growing up in a faith-based family, Sandra left her church at 18, finding different pathway for bringing her voice and truth into the world.

But as in life, there are pivotal moments. Sandra's arrived with her Mother's Cancer diagnosis. As they prepared for her passing, and eventually her death, Sandra entered her calling, to become a non-denominational minister.

Sandra recalls the pain of losing her mom. They had been deeply connected and her Mom was her biggest supporter. As Mother and daughter prepared for death, they spend many special and unique times together, creating and writing her obituary, choosing favored songs that would be song and designing her Mom's funeral, a true tribute to her mom's life.

And this is Sandra! A multi-dimentional spiritual and caring women of the arts, heart and mind. I hope you enjoy learning more about Sandra and her life experience in this episode of Mind Your Freedom.

After a lifetime of learning about the mystical, earth-based and energetic traditions, Sandra answered the call to spiritual leadership, taking on a parallel career by enrolling in seminary at The New Seminary (TNS) for Interfaith Studies in NYC and was ordained at St. John the Divine in 2007. She has a subsequent seminary degree in Spiritual Counseling from One Spirit Interfaith Seminary, also in NYC. From 2008-2011, Sandra was the Dean of 1st year students at TNS.  She is a multiple award-winning wedding officiant and speaks before many diverse groups.

Her most recent show, The Edge of Everyday, was nominated for a Broadway World Cabaret Award, and the live CD recording is available on Amazon and CD Baby. 

Sandra’s natural connection to earth based wisdom inspired her to add the role of Activist to her resume, by becoming a Climate Reality Leader in 2017, after completing her training with Al Gore and The Climate Reality Project.  

In 2020, she was asked by thought leader and author Lesley Michaels to join the staff of The International Strategic Alliance of Women, an on-line membership company that empowers, uplifts, and educates professional women at all levels (www.isaow.com).
