Your no B.S. Bestie! (Available Upon Request)
Jessica Leone
Meet Jess, "your no B.S. Bestie!" Once you get to know her raw and 'rough around the edges' style, you will learn pretty quickly how she got her name! She will listen like a best friend, keep you accountable, and her energy will inspire you to show up for yourself in ways you didn't think possible (with lots of laughter, radical authenticity, and some f-bombs along the way!).
​
Believing in challenging norms, she will always encourage you to question and redefine societal expectations for your individual journey to self-discovery and well-being. She champions the idea of giving yourself permission to FEEL your FEELINGS, normalizing the validity of all emotions in the healing process (regardless of how it looks!); it's a catalyst for clarity, validation, and deep understanding within ourselves.
​
Her passion truly lies in creating opportunities and supportive environments that encourage women to reconnect with their badass, authentic selves. With a knack for creating community & facilitating transformative conversations, she has created face-to-face & digital spaces for women to be a soundboard for one another!

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.

Mary Ellen Wilson
Mary Ellen Wilson is a seer and a mystic, descended from a lineage of wise-woman village healers from old Sicily. This lineage was revealed by her maternal grandmother when Mary Ellen shared about her own mystical experiences and intuitive gifts.
Her peak mystical experience was a profound and transcendent union with the Source in which she experienced a knowing, in every cell of her being, of Oneness with All (with Creator; with God), and this experience was accompanied by a transference of energy to her hands, spiritual ecstasy, and a yogic movement accompanied by a sacred mantra.
Mary Ellen’s role is to facilitate the opportunity for humans to experience and learn who they are, where they came from, and their life’s purpose, which includes experiential opportunities to connect with the spiritual realm, which is our true home. Her readings incorporate Clairvoyance, Clairsentience, and Claircognizance, and do incorporate Channeling and Mediumship, as well as Auras and Chakras.
Mary Ellen earned formal metaphysical training as a Certified Metaphysician Practitioner and Healer at Delphi University of Spiritual Studies in Georgia, USA. Through Delphi, she is also a trained and Certified Medium, a Certified Soul Life Intuitive, a Certified Spiritual Healer, a Certified Color and Sound Healing Practitioner, and a Certified Voyager Tarot Consultant.
