Biography

The youngest of seven girls and an intuitive energy reader and space clearer since childhood, Flora has been working directly with clients to harmonize the self as well as dwelling spaces since 1997.  

Flora grew up in Wisconsin on the banks of the Apple River and spent the majority of her childhood outside romping around the wilderness with her family.  Her early appreciation for nature and the energies that exist in everything created an awakening of her intuitive and spiritual gifts.  Flora first realized her psychic abilities at the age of 12 with the prophetic insight of her mother’s death.   Upon tapping into her gifts Flora realized how precious each moment of life is.  After her mothers death, life dealt her an interesting hand over the next four years and at age 16 she moved out of her fathers home to make it on her own.  After graduating high school she joined the United States Marine Corps and served overseas and stateside during her enlistment, exiting with an Honorable discharge.  In the years following her time in the service she traveled with her two biological children and explored all of life's ups and downs. 

In 2004 Flora attended Tulsa Community College and earned an Associates of Science degree in Business, then went on to earn a Bachelors of Science degree in Business with an emphasis in Management and Marketing at Oklahoma State University.  Simultaneously, Flora began her spiritual education and training.  She studied under Lady Youngdeer with Children of the Green Goddess for several years, focusing her studies on herbs, essential oils and further developing her intuitive gifts.  Flora also studied under Gypsy Swan and became an Earth Keeper of the Munay Ki Rites and is a Member of the Society for Shamanic Practioners and the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.  Flora has trained directly with Sonia Choquette and is a Certified SixSensory™ Practitioner.  She is a Certified Holistic Life Coach and a certified Tuning Fork Therapy® Practitioner.  Flora is a Priestess in the Susan B. Anthony Coven #1 and is currently training under Z. Budapest to become an Ordained Dianic Clergy Member. 

Flora is internationally regarded for her instructional and channeled videos on YouTube.  She empowers her viewers by teaching them to embrace all that works for them and to hone in on their own skills and inner truth to create a unique path for themselves.  www.youtube.com/user/CharmingPixieFlora  Flora is driven to help teach people how to truly live life to the fullest using her gifts of intuition and spirit filled teaching techniques.

Flora conducts hands on workshops and is a regular contributor to Z. Budapest’s online publication “Goddess Magazine” and was a guest contributor to the YouTube Collaborative Channel “Witches for Wellness” from September - December 2009.  Flora has been featured on many websites for her fresh approach to teaching the Pagan path and how to live a balanced life.

Flora resides in Oklahoma with her husband, four children, two cats and two dog's "Teddy and Marley".
