Awakening Your Intuitive Wisdom
Heidi Jaffe, Creator of Nissaretreats.com
When guests arrive at Nissa Retreats, they’re often a mix of nervous, curious, and hopeful. They’ve said yes to something that feels both exciting and unfamiliar, six days dedicated to awakening their intuition, exploring psychic development, and deepening self-trust.
Heidi Jaffe, the creator and guide of Nissa Retreat’s Awaken Your Wisdom Within, has spent years refining how to help each guest open up and experience true transformation. Her approach combines deep intentionality with a spirit of play, blending powerful energetic practices with simple human connection.
The Power of Breathwork
Heidi holds certifications as a Psychic Medium and Master Teacher of Psychic Mediumship, reflecting her dedication to continuous learning and mastery of her abilities. But what makes her retreats truly unique is how she weaves guided breathwork into the experience.
As a dual-certified Breathwork Coach in SOMA and Conscious Connected Breathing, Heidi brings a profound understanding of how the breath can unlock what words cannot. Each retreat begins with guided breathwork to calm the mind and ground the body. Most guests arrive carrying tension, nervous about what’s to come, unsure of their abilities. The breathwork helps release that anxiety, allowing participants to arrive fully in the present moment.
Guided breathwork offers far-reaching benefits: it helps release grief, trauma, and fear, while opening pathways to clarity, intuition, and self-connection. This practice sets the foundation for everything that follows, softening the walls that often keep us from trusting what we feel and perceive.
Learning Through Play
Once everyone is grounded, meaning their breath has slowed, their bodies have softened, and their minds have quieted, something shifts in the room. The nervous chatter fades. Shoulders drop. People start to feel safe enough to open up, to look each other in the eye, to truly be present. It’s from this calm, connected state that the real work begins: exploring intuition through shared experiences that feel both playful and profound.
Heidi introduces partner work, fun, interactive exercises designed to spark curiosity and laughter. There’s no right or wrong here. These early sessions are about play. Heidi intentionally creates a space where mistakes are welcome, because growth doesn’t happen in perfection, it happens in relaxation.
This sense of ease allows guests to experiment, to test their intuition without pressure. Over the next several days, the exercises build in depth and precision, gently guiding participants to trust what they sense and to witness the subtle ways their psychic and mediumistic abilities emerge.
A Journey by Design
Every day of the six-day retreat follows a carefully considered progression. Each session builds on the last, layer-by-layer, helping guests expand their awareness, confidence, and skill. By the end, participants are often astonished by how natural intuitive connection feels when approached with presence, playfulness, and compassion.
Heidi’s retreats aren’t random workshops strung together; they’re intentionally designed transformational journeys. Every moment, from breathwork to group circles, is meant to help guests trust themselves more deeply, reconnect with their inner knowing, and experience their own innate wisdom.
