Color has fascinated me for as long as I can remember.

Even as a child, I seemed to sense the energy of people around me. Occasionally I would perceive colors connected to them, although at the time I simply assumed everyone experienced the world that way.

My real awakening to the world of auras and color came in 1994. After hearing endless praise about a well-known aura reader, I decided to order an aura interpretation for myself. When it arrived, I was deeply disappointed. The report felt generic and disconnected, and I remember thinking, "Surely there must be a better way to understand a person's energy."

That experience became the beginning of a new chapter in my life.

Instead of complaining, I decided to study the subject myself. I became particularly interested in the connection between the aura, the chakras, and the way color reflects our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states. What I felt was missing from many aura readings was practical information about a person's energy system and how it could be balanced and strengthened.

Soon I began offering my own aura and chakra readings. One reading led to another, and before long I was working extensively with color, energy systems, and aura photography technology. Over the years I explored several different aura imaging systems and became fascinated by how color could be used as a tool for insight, healing, and personal development.

At one point I worked with a Norwegian company specializing in color and energy systems. During that time I was asked to write interpretations for different color combinations. What began as a simple project grew into an extensive body of work exploring the psychological, emotional, and energetic meanings of color. To my surprise, the number of combinations eventually became almost identical to the number of cards in a Tarot deck.

Since then I have continued writing, teaching, and developing courses focused on color, chakras, energy awareness, and the aura. I have written books on the subject and created educational programs that combine practical understanding with personal experience.

For me, color is far more than decoration. Every color carries a vibration, and everything in the universe is vibration. Some colors energize us, some calm us, some inspire creativity, and others help us find balance. Understanding color gives us another way to understand ourselves.

Personally, I have always loved turquoise—the color of change, growth, and transformation—as well as magenta, which I associate with wisdom gained through experience. My home and wardrobe have always reflected my love of color, because I believe our surroundings influence us more than we often realize.

My approach to color is simple: awareness creates choice. When we understand the energy we are carrying, we gain the ability to strengthen, balance, and transform it.

Today I offer aura and chakra readings, where clients receive both a visual interpretation and an in-depth explanation of their energetic patterns. However, my greatest joy comes from teaching others how to understand and work with color for themselves.

Color is not something reserved for artists or designers. It is a language that surrounds us every day, influencing our emotions, thoughts, energy, and possibilities.

My goal is to help you learn that language and use it consciously in your own life.

Live colorfully,
