Celia Ames has spent 25 years on an ambulance, most of that as a paramedic, building a career in emergency care and in leadership roles that support the people doing the work beside her. With a degree in teaching, she’s always been drawn to honest conversations—especially the ones that help caregivers understand the emotional weight of their work and the importance of tending to their own well‑being.

Over the course of her career, Celia has been present for moments that change people forever. She has seen tragedy, resilience, heartbreak, and hope. Those experiences have taught her that caring for others in the most difficult moments requires more than skill or training—it requires intention, reflection, and the courage to acknowledge your own limits.

Celia’s life outside of EMS has shaped her just as deeply. She’s been married for more than 20 years and is the mother of four amazing kids. She supports her husband, a disabled veteran with a traumatic brain injury, and raises a son on the autism spectrum alongside her other children. These roles have shown her that caregiving doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. It’s woven into everyday life, and it can be both rewarding and exhausting.

Through all of this, Celia has learned that protecting your mental health isn’t about being tough or pretending you’re fine. It’s about recognizing what you’ve been carrying—and learning how to set down the things that were never meant to be held onto. Her goal is to help others begin that process, so they can continue doing the work they love without losing themselves in the process.

Trish Kerr is a 38 year old mother of 5 boys. She lives right outside Philadelphia. Being a Stay at Home Mom for the last 10 years. While navigating motherhood, Trish has been sober for 13.5 years from drugs and alcohol. Having a drinking career for the age 15-24 only left her empty and filled with guilt,shame and remorse. Trish was left hopeless. Until a moment clarity, divine intervention or simply a moment of willing, she was given an opportunity to reach out for help.

During these last 13 years of Trish's sober life she's learned the gift of just listening to a suffering alcoholic, saying hi how are you or just remembering their name could saves someone's life. After witnessing the miracle of fellow alcoholics regain all that was last due to drinking she wanted to give back as much as possible. From being hopeless to hopeful was not on her bingo card.

Trish has filled her spiritual tool box along the road and wants to share the tools to anyone who's ready. Being free of judgement, knowing the importance of offering strength, options and hope has really made a difference in many lives.

Thank you so much!!

Annie Burnes
Lead Investigator, Paranormal Investigators of Minnesota (SIM)
The Journey: From the Woods to the Field
Annie has always embraced being the "weird kid"—a title carried with pride from a childhood spent running barefoot through the woods and cornfields of rural Ohio. While others were wary of the unknown, Annie was making friends with the spirits dwelling in the creeks and trees. This lifelong affinity for the unseen led to a childhood engrossed in every available book on ghosts, hauntings, aliens, and the unexplained. What began as a primal connection to nature and the spirit world has evolved into a sophisticated, multi-disciplinary career in paranormal research.

I'm a Psychic Medium & Spiritual Teacher practicing for about 8 years now.
I discovered my gifts at a very young age. When I was about 7 years old, I felt a spirit in my room every single night. It actually kind of spooked me a bit so I didn't want to tell anyone about it. Then one day my mom got a call from my Aunt, she asked if she could schedule a time to take my brother and I to a Medium; she said that my Dad had asked to give us a message. We went with my Aunt the following week. In our session, the Medium said to me "Your Dad wants to tell you not to be scared at night, he is coming to check on you." I was in absolute amazement, literally, jaw dropped. There was no possible way they could have known any details about this. I was in awe of the capability of this medium and have fallen in love with mediumship ever since.

Connecting with spirits and seeing mediums myself has been incredibly healing in my life journey. Teaching others how to develop their gifts and support them in the journey of connecting with their higher consciousness is my purpose in this lifetime, and it's an honor to be a guide for you.

Leese Hartman, is a licensed trauma therapist (LPC) currently living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she works at Social Emotional Change. Her work is devoted to helping people heal the wounds that live beneath the surface — the stories the body remembers, the pain that lingers quietly, and the parts of us that long to be seen.

Leese believes that if someone has experienced trauma, carries anxiety in their body, or feels unseen or unheard in this world, they do not have to walk alone. It is a deep honor for her to sit with people in their most tender places. She believes healing begins when we are truly witnessed — when our stories are held with care, without judgment, and with reverence for the strength it has taken to survive.

Her approach is rooted in the sacred connection between mind, body, and spirit. She draws from polyvagal understanding, narrative and relational healing, feminist wisdom, and trauma-informed practices to help clients gently reconnect with themselves. She is EMDR-trained through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) and holds advanced training in complex trauma, supporting deep healing in a way that honors each person’s nervous system and pace.

Leese understands that much of our suffering does not occur in isolation — it lives within relationships, systems, and the larger world we inhabit. In her work, she helps clients name what has harmed them while nurturing what has always been whole within them. Her intention is to support people in reclaiming their voice, softening the weight they carry, and returning to their lives with greater clarity, compassion, and grace.
