Demi’s Psychic Awakening in Punta Monterrey

When I think back on our time at Nissa Retreats in Punta Monterrey, Demi, a guest on the retreat, stands out with a quiet brilliance that revealed itself layer by layer.

Demi arrived as a writer, observant, thoughtful, comfortable with words, and certain she was there to receive. She told me later she assumed the retreat would be about getting readings from me and from others. What she didn’t expect was to become an active participant in her own psychic intuitive discovery.

That moment, when expectation meets possibility, is one I recognize instantly.

As the days unfolded, Demi surprised herself. Not with effort. With openness. During our intuitive practices, she began picking up on details about other guests with a clarity that caught her off guard. She shared how shocking it felt to realize she could sense, feel, and articulate truths she never believed were accessible to her.

“I didn’t think this was something I could do,” she said. And yet, there it was. In our partner work, guests take turns listening, sensing, and sharing without scripts, without performance. Demi found herself noticing subtle emotional cues, images, and impressions that felt both unfamiliar and completely natural. What surprised her most was not that something came through, but how calmly it did.

What moved me most was not the accuracy of what she perceived, but her willingness to trust it. Demi didn’t come in calling herself psychic. She came in curious. And curiosity, when supported by the right environment, becomes confidence.

The retreat didn’t just expand her understanding of the psychic and spiritual world, it grounded her. Demi spoke candidly about how the breathwork and meditation practices were unexpectedly powerful, especially for her anxiety. These weren’t abstract tools for her; they became practical anchors she could return to long after the retreat ended.

During a quiet moment, I offered Demi a short reading. It wasn’t dramatic. It didn’t need to be. What came through was a clear affirmation of her writing path, of the way words are not just her craft, but her conduit. She told me afterward that the reading didn’t redirect her life; it confirmed it. And sometimes, that confirmation is what we need most.

Watching Demi leave Punta Monterrey, I saw someone more present in herself. More aware. More trusting. She didn’t leave claiming a new identity. She left knowing she was capable of far more than she had ever imagined.

That, to me, is the work.
