This week’s guest is a real TREAT! Haley is an amazingly gifted intuitive (who I have now had 2 more readings with) who bravely shares her journey with us. She started her spiritual journey at 8 years old when she was introduced to various wonderful teachers. Throughout her childhood and young adult life, she continued learning about meditation, utilizing her intuition, the chakras, angels, gods, goddesses, Ascended Masters, and more! At 16, she became a Reiki Master. Upon graduating from the University of Connecticut with a degree in Communication, she quickly realized her purpose was to help others understand just how incredibly powerful they are. Through her podcast, coaching, speaking, readings, and courses she hopes to spread the message that everyone can tap into their gifts and that anything is possible. Because once we realize just how magical we are, we will change the world.
