Angel Numerology Reader & Channeler

Elena Serrano

Elena is an intuitive from Puerto Rico. Her first teachers were her grandparents and surrounded by a loving family that embraced spiritual practices as part of daily life, Elena learned the basics of dream interpretation, channeling and what many call Spiritual Coaching. 

The development of her intuitive gifts has been a lifelong process, with several important Spiritual milestones. Her first experience with Mediumship was at 14 years, with her grandmother’s passing. In her late twenties she experienced severe depression which led her to holistic healing. She completed studies in Energy work, Herbology, Massage and Nutrition Therapy. 

In 2017 her husband and daughter were both severely ill, later to find out this was the beginning of the most impactful “dark night of the soul”. Here is when her connection with the Angels marked its presence in Elena’s life and has been the foundation of her strength since then. She completed studies in Life Coaching, is a Certified Angel Tarot Reader and Angel Numerology practitioner. 

For the past half decade the “calling” to share her gifts with others has intensified to the point that Elena understands that it is her passion and life’s purpose. Elena’s  favorite part of the day, besides telling those close to her that she loves them, is seeing the spark of joy in her client's faces when they realize that one Universal truth: we ARE part of the DIVINE, it is within ALL of us, and therefore WE ARE NEVER ALONE.

Psychic Medium Practitioner

​Stephanie Double

Stephanie Double is a professional medium who has been practicing evidential mediumship for more than 10 years. Evidential mediumship is a form of psychic mediumship where the medium provides specific and verifiable information to clients, often connecting them with messages or evidence from their deceased loved ones. This type of mediumship is known for its focus on providing concrete and detailed proof of the spirit's identity, experiences, or messages, rather than general or vague statements. Stephanie typically works with clients who seek closure, comfort, or guidance from their deceased loved ones, or wish to explore their own spiritual beliefs. Stephanie also incorporates Tarot cards into her one-on-one readings, using them as guidance to answer specific questions the client may have. 

​

Evidential mediumship is a practice associated with paranormal or metaphysical beliefs and is often viewed as a form of communication with the spirit world. Evidential mediumship focuses on providing specific and verifiable information from the spirits of deceased individuals to provide comfort, closure, or guidance to the living. While it may have some spiritual or philosophical aspects, it does not belong to any particular religious tradition and can be practiced by individuals from various spiritual backgrounds or belief systems.

​

Stephanie provides one-on-one readings by appointment, and also performs "demonstration mediumship" events in a group setting, where participants are able to experience connections for themselves but also be a part of readings for other group members.
