Antoinette is a creative force that splits her time between writing, teaching and giving psychic readings. When she was five years old, she discovered the world of imagination and vowed that one day, she would create her own characters. She published her first poem, “The Kiss” at ten and has been writing ever since. She decided to hone her writing skills and pursue a degree. She went to Harvard University and received a writing citation and a degree with honors in Psychology and Creative Writing. She also attended Yale University where she received certification for her participation in their summer writing  program. 

She received her degree in abnormal psychology because she wanted to go into counseling work and help survivors who have experienced trauma. She herself grew up in a cult religion and understood how hard it is to leave that world and start over. She wanted to take her two degrees, put them together and host writing workshops to heal the soul but she wanted to chase a few dreams first.  Of course, spirit had other plans as well. 

While growing up, her psychic abilities would follow her throughout her life. At seven, she saw an angel standing next to her bed and told her she was protected. She had a deep relationship with God, who would communicate with her when things were rough at home. By the time she was an adult she knew she had gifts other people did not. She would be drawn to the metaphysical section of the book store and understood this was her life path but wasn’t sure how. She was still afraid of her curiosity. Fear did not hold her back.  She gave readings to friends before she knew what she was doing. It wouldn’t be until she was well on her way with her writing career that she would discover who she really is. 

After college, she moved across the country to Studio City and chased her dream of writing screenplays. She wrote for producers, directors and her last project was a three season long treatment for Disney. However, it all came to a halt when she had a spiritual awakening that would send her life in a completely different direction. 

A friend of Antoinette’s asked her to go to a medium. She had no idea what that was; she assumed it was a psychic and agreed to go. The moment she was alone after booking her spot, a spirit came up to her and screamed his name in her face. Her awakening happened in a flash. She could now hear spirit, communicate with them and was downloaded with information that sent her life upside down for two years until she could pull it all together. 

Now, she has pulled it all together and teaches writing  workshops, teaches courses on the metaphysical and gives readings to clients all over the world. She hosts a podcast, “Soul Tea with Marie and Leslie.” She also has her own YouTube channel, “Soul Tea with Marie” where she channels, does ASMR and gives updates and readings for the collective.
