It was in her twenties that she finally embraced her gift of strong vision. Her spiritual journey of self discovery had begun, taking her to many exciting places and connecting her to different cultures from all over the world.

It was Rosanna’s strong connection to her power animal that changed her life, when she was put in a potentially dangerous situation.

Since then she has devoted herself to fulfil her life’s purpose and to help and guide others with their mission. Her strong message is “Keep your Dreams Alive”.

Rosanna lives on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada with her husband Andy and their two sons and daughter. She loves writing, teaching, drumming, dancing, especially belly dancing.
