We Are All Intuitive: Heidi Jaffe’s Journey
Heidi Jaffe, Psychic & Medium
Psychic and Medium, Heidi Jaffe will tell you this without hesitation:
Everyone is intuitively psychic. Everyone.
Heidi believes, like many scientists are discovering, that intuition isn’t reserved for the gifted few. It’s something we’re all born with, the ability to sense, perceive, and know without explanation. What most people call coincidence, Heidi calls recognition.
For Heidi, this came to her very early in her life. While many develop their psychic abilities before they develop their medium abilities, for Heidi, it was the other way around.
When she was just eight years old, her great-grandmother Mabel passed away in front of her. The two were incredibly close, and Heidi was alone with her when she died. But instead of fear, something else took root.
Mabel, Heidi’s Great Grandmother
“After my great-grandmother passed, I kept seeing her around the house,” Heidi recalls. “She would appear in the doorway or near my bed. I didn’t feel afraid at all.”
That experience was the beginning of her mediumship, not something she read about or was taught, but something she lived. Long before she explored psychic work or intuitive development, Heidi was a medium. She communicated with those on the other side. And she never doubted what she felt.
Years later, another unusual encounter deepened her connection to spirit.
While looking through a photo she had taken, Heidi noticed an orb. Inside the orb was the clear image of a man’s face, someone she didn’t recognize. Intrigued, she began taking more photos at night, curious to see if the orb would appear again. Not only did he return, but other orbs started showing up too, in different shapes, sizes and colors.

Heidi was fascinated. Who were they?
She began using flashlights, asking questions and observing responses through light. Slowly, patterns emerged. Names began to be spelled out. A system, a language, was forming. Still, something was missing.
One day, a friend offered simple but life-changing advice:
“Perhaps you can meditate and ask them what they want.”
So Heidi sat down, closed her eyes, and asked.
In meditation, the messages came. She began to see these spirits in relation to people she knew, including family, friends, acquaintances. She started receiving initials, details about how they passed, and gentle, specific messages for their loved ones.
In the most delicate way possible, Heidi began sharing what she received. Quietly. Respectfully. Always with permission.
What began as a curiosity became a calling.
That’s when the readings began. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Over the decades, Heidi deepened her craft. Through study, mentorship, and thousands of readings, more than 17,000 to date, Heidi has guided people through grief, transition, and awakening. Her sessions are known for being direct, grounded, and transformative.
But Nissa Retreats came from a different part of her soul.
A traveler at heart, Heidi always felt most alive exploring new places. She created Nissa as a way to combine the wonder of travel with the power of intuitive growth. She envisioned retreats where people could escape their routine, not to disconnect, but to reconnect.
To their inner knowing. Their truth. Their wisdom within.
Heidi Jaffe, Psychic, Medium & Founder of Nissa Retreats
Designed by Heidi in a very thoughtful way, each Awaken Your Wisdom Within retreat is six days of immersive development in breathtaking surroundings, from the lush jungles of Mexico to the ancient hills of the Yorkshire countryside. The experience blends structured psychic training with restorative wellness practices to support the body, mind, and spirit.
These retreats are not for show. They’re for those who feel something stirring and include grievers, empaths, sensitives, psychics in training. People who want to expand, but also feel safe doing it. Those who want to be guided, but not led and supported.
As a guide, Heidi offers clarity, practice and the environment to let it all come through.
