The Truth About Our Psychic Intuition

Nissa Retreats

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, or rather, the crystal in the corner.

For years, the word “psychic” has carried a cultural charge. Say it out loud and people immediately picture neon signs, fortune tellers, dramatic music. Cue the eye rolls,  the skepticism, the sense that this whole world belongs to someone else, someone mystical, strange, or somehow chosen.

That’s the myth.

Now here’s the truth: Everyone has intuitive abilities. Yes, everyone. It’s not a gift for the chosen few. It’s a human sense, like sight or sound,  just one we’ve been told to ignore, suppress, or fear.

I’ve spent over a decade as a professional psychic medium. I’ve given thousands of readings. I’ve connected with the departed, channeled accurate insights for strangers, and helped countless people heal. But what truly matters is helping others access their own intuitive abilities, no theatrics, no rigid belief systems, and no need for rituals that feel forced or unfamiliar.

That’s why I created Nissa Retreats. These are not your incense-and-incantation kind of journey. No chanting in Sanskrit you don’t understand. No vague, floaty affirmations. No pressure to buy into a belief system.

Instead, you’ll find something else entirely: a grounded, practical space to remember who you really are, an intuitive, emotionally intelligent, wise human being with the ability to sense and interpret energy. We all have it. We’ve just forgotten, or never learned, how to listen.

Why We Don’t Trust Our Intuition Anymore

Let’s rewind. From the time we’re little, we’re taught to override our instincts. We’re told not to make a fuss. Not to trust feelings we can’t explain. To follow logic, not hunches. To stay in our heads.

But your intuition was never the problem,  it’s just been drowned out by noise.

That gut feeling when you walk into a room and sense something’s off? That’s your energy reading skills in action. The knowing you feel when someone’s lying, even though their words are perfect? That’s psychic data. We use it every day. We just don’t call it what it is.

Meanwhile, media and pop culture have done a number on us. They’ve turned psychics into punchlines or profit schemes. Or worse, made them seem like untouchable mystics, speaking in riddles, floating above the rest of us.

But here’s the real deal: I’m a psychic medium and a highly functional, rational person. I pay my bills. I make dinner. I mess up. I laugh. I curse sometimes. I am not here to sell you fantasy. I’m here to help you wake up your own dormant abilities and show you exactly how to use them in your daily life, to make better decisions, understand relationships, and trust yourself more deeply than you ever thought possible.

Let’s Get Practical: What We Actually Do at a Nissa Retreat

At every Nissa Retreat, we strip away the stigma and get down to earth.

Yes, there’s beauty — breathtaking locations like Broughton Sanctuary in the English countryside and Punta Monterrey in Mexico. But the real transformation happens in the workshops. In the circles. In the breathwork sessions and energy exercises that rewire your nervous system and open your awareness.

These retreats are built around experiential learning. You won’t just talk about intuition, you’ll practice using it. Every day. In real time. With real people. In a calm, steady environment.

Here’s what you won’t find:

No worship of gurus or crystals.
No gatekeeping.
No pressure to be “spiritual enough.”

Here’s what you will find:

Step-by-step exercises to tap into your psychic abilities.
Honest conversations about grief, energy, healing, and presence.
Tools to manage energetic boundaries (so you're not constantly overwhelmed by other people’s emotions).
Mediumship development that’s not about performance, it’s about connection and integrity.
A community of curious, open-hearted humans who aren’t here to play roles, they’re here to evolve.

Who Are These Retreats For?

You don’t have to be a practicing psychic to attend. In fact, most guests aren’t.

Some are grieving, and want to feel connection again. Connection with themselves, with someone they’ve lost, or with the mystery that lives beyond this moment.

Some are intuitives or healers who’ve felt disconnected from their power. Maybe burnt out, ungrounded, or unsure how to translate their inner knowing into action.

Some are skeptics who feel a nudge they can’t explain,  a curiosity about something deeper, but zero interest in fluff or performance.

And some are simply seekers,  people who sense there’s more to life than what meets the eye, and want a clear, authentic path forward.

For many guests, Nissa Retreats are less about becoming ‘psychic’ and more about learning to trust themselves again,  their instincts, their emotions, their quiet inner knowing. It’s not just about accessing intuition; it’s about remembering that you’ve had it all along.

What they all have in common is this: They’re ready to step away from noise and into knowing. They’re ready to remember what they’ve always known, just under the surface.

Why We Need to Redefine “Psychic”

Let me be clear: I’m not here to turn you into something you’re not. I’m here to help you stop ignoring the intuitive power you’ve had all along.

When we reclaim this word , and strip it of the shame, the stereotype, the spectacle, we make room for something powerful.

We remember that being psychic isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about being so present, so attuned, that you can feel into the currents beneath the surface. It’s not about escaping this world. It’s about being more fully in it.

Being psychic means:

Listening before reacting.
Feeling energy shifts in your body.
Trusting yourself even when there’s no “proof.”
Knowing when to step in, and when to let go.

It’s about receiving insight, not from some mysterious source, but from within yourself. The part of you that already knows.

It’s not a parlor trick. It’s a practice. And like any practice, it can be learned, deepened, refined.

What Happens After the Retreat

One of the most common things I hear from guests after a Nissa Retreat is: “I didn’t realize how much I already knew.”

That’s the point. This isn’t about adding more to you. It’s about removing what’s in the way. You leave with tools, yes, but more importantly, you leave with confidence in your own inner signals.

You’ll know how to:

Set clear energetic boundaries.

Ground and center quickly.
Communicate with clarity, even with those on the other side.
Discern between fear, fantasy, and truth.

These skills don’t disappear when you get home. They integrate. They live in how you speak, how you lead, how you rest, how you love.

Why This Work Matters Right Now

We’re living in a moment of overload, emotionally, spiritually, digitally. The world is loud. The systems are cracked. The old ways of knowing don’t cut it anymore.

What we need now isn’t more information. It’s inner authority.

When you trust your own intuition, truly trust it, you become unshakable. You’re no longer reliant on external validation. You’re not waiting for someone else to tell you who you are. You’re not trying to keep up with a culture that profits off your self-doubt.

This is what intuition restores: sovereignty.

That’s what makes this work radical, not because it’s flashy or out there, but because it brings you home to yourself, to your own clarity, your own inner compass, your own sense of truth.

And when enough of us do that?

We change the world. Not through predictions or platitudes, but through presence, choice, and clarity.

Ready to Step In?

If you’re curious, even a little bit, that’s your signal.

Don’t worry if you’re unsure. You don’t need to have the “right energy” or believe in anything specific. You just need to want to know yourself better. To feel more alive. To move through life with a little more magic  and a lot more trust.

I created Nissa Retreats because I believe we all deserve access to our full intuitive power. Without shame. Without labels. Without the woo.

Just you, your truth, and a space to remember what’s been waiting inside you all along.
