I was taught by my grandmother in the art of divination as a child. At the time, it was something that we kept to ourselves and practiced secretly upstairs on the warm summer nights when I was allowed to stay with her. The expansive gardens around her house held magic for this little girl and she never corrected me when I talked about the little people who lived under the foliage of bushes and inside the trees. Over the years and before she crossed over in 1991, she taught me all of her beliefs in the magic of nature, and the intuition we all hold within ourselves. Can we all turn within and find answers to our challenges and happiness in life? Yes. But we are taught by society not to trust what our heart and intuition tells us. I have spent years reading and acquiring an extensive library of numerology, astrology and tarot books. In addition, I spend considerable hours devouring the teachings of masters in the realm of positive lifestyles, quantum physics, and creating the life we wish! I have read for those in the United States, Europe and Canada and still continue to enjoy the weaving of the various divination skills taught to me to bring messages of hope and instill confidence.

Dr. Craig Martin, known to most as “Dr. Craig,” is a spiritual counselor, relationship expert, and author of Elemental Love Styles: Find Compatibility and Create a Lasting Relationship. He provides counseling based on astrology and his lifetime of studying worldwide spiritual practices like The Kabbalah, Druidic Mysticism, the Norse Ruins, Native American Shamanism and other ritual ceremonies. “I’ve immersed myself in many spiritual practices and I have always learned great lessons, whether it’s about stillness or joy or renunciation. I continue to find tangible pearls of spiritual insights from every culture,” explains Dr. Craig. In his work he focuses on teaching self-awareness, acceptance and love in a simple way. He helps people realize that introspection doesn’t need to be difficult - but it is needed - to build great relationships in all aspects of your life. Dr. Craig developed his unique method of counseling by combining his experience as a homeopathic doctor with his extensive knowledge of astrology. He focuses on helping both individuals and couples achieve clarity and balance through self-discovery. In Elemental Love Styles people find and understand their deeper needs through the four natural elements which represent the human personality types: Fire (creative and enthusiastic), Air (communicative and social), Water (emotional and intuitive) and Earth (practical and grounded). Dr. Craig designed the elemental system to determine deeper love needs based on psychological types. “Love, honesty and inner growth are why we are here and what all relationships require. We want to feel that we are continuously becoming better people,” says Dr. Craig. Helping people achieve this common goal is what motivates him to share his messages. Dr. Craig resides in Los Angeles with his partner Dan. When he isn’t counseling or writing he enjoys hiking, cooking and reading. For more information go to http://www.doctorcraig.com/
