In this solo episode, Dr. Toni chats all things numerology, with international numerologist and author, Vikki MacKinnon. Vikki explains how numbers work in every part of your life, in such a way that you: feel their energy, sense their presence, gain greater understanding of your circumstances and patterns that may be holding you back, and get a clear sense of the options and possibilities that lie before you. Discover where you are in your progressive cycles, and gain a sense of direction and anticipation as you look at where you are going.

Vikki MacKinnon is one of North America’s most respected numerologists. She is known to be deeply spiritual and insightful, yet refreshingly practical and down-to-Earth.

As founder and creator of the Born To Thrive Numerology Course, Vikki has facilitated workshops in Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto, and Tokyo – leading participants on a powerful journey of self-awareness and self-esteem, and empowering them with a metaphysical tool that will provide on-going benefits in their personal and professional life for years to come.

Many of Vikki’s students in both Canada and Japan have continued on to take the Advanced Numerology Mentorship Program, becoming numerologists themselves, or incorporating numerology into their own holistic practice.

Vikki is also an author of two books. You can find out more here.
