What do Snowflakes and Fingerprints
have in common?

No two are alike....go figure?
No really, just who or what is responsible for this beauty and mystery?

Unlike snowflakes, however, your fingerprints are imprinted permanently 5 months before your were born, even before your brain is formed. These energy waves (take a look in a magnifying glass. Pretty amazing, huh?) inform your brain development which in turn informs your hands..the size, shape, color and type of lines. These all can change as you change. Your fingerprints never do. When I look at your fingerprints, I see the main story line of your life – your School which is your birds-eye perspective on life, your Life Purpose, your highest potential and your Life Lesson, the core issue or fear you are here to work on so that your Life Purpose can unfold.

Richard Unger, the founder of the International Institute of Hand Analysis, decoded the fingerprint patterns in 1982 after years of investigation in medical and forensic libraries and after systematically reading 70,000 pairs of hands and interviewing their owners.

But I like to think the wonderful mystery remains. I am a nut about nature and believe that we are children of nature, so when I heard the following, I was sold on hand analysis. Our fingerprint patterns are a mirror of the patterns formed by the wind and water on the sand, and yes, on the Zebras hide. Have you ever looked at a zebra and saw a blown up fingerprint? I bet you will next time!

Are our fingerprints formed by the Cosmic Winds? Might this energy create our Karmic Map? I’d like to think so.

Client question: “Do you do groups? I want to introduce my friends to hands!”

A Hand Reading Circle is a great way to introduce your friends to the power and magic of hands. Gather a group for an evening of discovery and fun. This is an intentional, storytelling format where every person has a personal reading within the circle with plenty of time for questions and group activities. If you have a celebration in mind and want me to come as part of the fun, then I can do that too. The purpose and pricing is going to be different. Call me and we can explore what will work best for your group.


This was true self-discovery; something rarely done in groups – a real opportunity to share what we love and who we are.
