I walk in two worlds.
As an intuitive, I connect the physical/material world with the spirit world by sharing the wisdom for the ancients. For this work I was given the spiritual name of “Spider Spirit Woman.” As spider is a messenger and weaver of life.

But also, “Ilga,” the name I was given by my mother when I was born in Liepaja, Latvia, represents my old world origins. Through stories and experiences, from early childhood I was taught to honor my connection to nature and the simplicity of the natural order and cycles of life. I learned about plants, animals, death and survival.
After WWII as displaced persons (DP’S), my parents brought me to America with its busy lifestyle in the concrete city world. Ilga no longer “fit,” for a child who wanted to belong. I adopted the name “Ann” from a comic book character that impressed me.
I’m a little Latvian farm girl who came to the U.S. to experience domestic violence, alcoholism, divorce and other life lessons, to later become a psychotherapist and spiritual messenger. Life certainly creates some interesting twists and adventures.
I am a woman, wife, mother, friend and lightworker. I have worked as a waitress, sales clerk, cashier, newspaper columnist, radio talk show host, government program manager, therapist and business owner.
I’ve had several near death experiences, including a head-on collision at 60 mph in a car whose engine was in the trunk. I wasn’t expected to live, but I’m still here. None of those other close calls were my time to exit life either and I believe you can’t go until it is your time. But I learned a lot in the process.
Now it’s time to share and pass on what I’ve learned. I want to help people wake-up spiritually. Humanity is going through difficult times as we approach the shift of consciousness, predicted by the Mayans, Hopi and other cultures, for 2012. My guides keep pushing me. The name IlgaAnn connects my old and new world knowledge, while Spider Spirit Woman let’s me be the conduit or “hollow bone,” as Native Americans would say, through which spirit advises.
