David Vine
My journey has never been defined by an easy road. I have experienced moments of triumph, but I have also walked through seasons of trauma, disappointment, uncertainty and personal struggle. Those experiences have shaped who I am today and, more importantly, the stories I choose to share with others. As The Autistic Author, I use storytelling to transform difficult experiences into messages of hope, courage, resilience and faith. Through Story Time Books & Merch and the stories I create, I aim to connect with people from all walks of life, reminding them that our circumstances do not have to determine our future. A significant new chapter in my life has been discovering my Christian faith. I was recently baptised at the Hope Centre in Logan, marking a deeply meaningful step in my spiritual journey. My baptism represents a renewed commitment to faith, hope, personal growth and serving others through the gifts I have been given. My greatest triumph is not simply recognition, awards or opportunities. It is continuing to move forward when life has given me reasons to stop. I believe our scars can become part of our testimony, and our struggles can become a source of strength and encouragement for someone else. Through my connection with the spiritual community, I hope to encourage people to look beyond their pain and discover meaning, purpose and hope. My stories share lessons from both victory and adversity, creating opportunities for reflection, compassion, faith and connection. I want voters to see more than an award nominee. I want them to see someone who has faced challenges, found renewed faith, continued to grow, and chosen to use his voice to uplift others. If my stories can help even one person feel less alone, find courage, reconnect with faith or believe that a new beginning is possible, then every challenge I have faced has gained purpose. My journey is still being written—and I hope the next chapter inspires others in their chosen faith.

Tracey Gibson
Born in the beautiful seaside town of Gisborne on New Zealand's North Island, my Māori heritage serves as a deep source of strength and guidance. The connection to my ancestors (Tūpuna) shapes my daily practices and inspires my work. While I utilise various modalities, my intuitive knowledge for spiritual guidance has been a part of me long before I began my healing journey. My vision is to empower our future ancestors who can pass down their healing knowledge to their family lineage. I am continually amazed by the honour of this work and view it as a lifelong journey that I am whole heartedly committed to in my community. So excited to be invited to mix among some of the best in the industry with the Spiritual awards and to be nominated. This will be my second year attending and can't wait to celebrate all the nominees!! I look forward to serving you for as long as you'll have me. Me te aroha (with love) Tracey
Psychic Medium Miss Heavenly Hayley David
I’m Miss Heavenly, gifted as a child and without formal training from others. I’ve worked professionally as an evidential psychic medium for more than half my life… side note, I’m fully embracing 50! My work has helped people find comfort, healing, and connection, while occasionally proving your loved ones in spirit are still just as cheeky as they were here on Earth. Through private readings, teaching, events, retreats, and appearances across Australia and internationally, I’ve dedicated my life to creating genuine, heartfelt experiences for those navigating grief, loss, and spiritual awakening. My connections, the evidence presented, and the experiences shared by my clients speak for themselves. Channelling spirit is not the game “Guess Who.” True evidential mediumship is about genuine connection, real evidence, and meaningful details beyond vague assumptions. My mission is simple to remind people that love continues between the seen and unseen long after death.
Cherie Jackson
I'm incredibly honoured to have been nominated in three categories of the Spiritual Leaders Awards. My name is Cherie Jackson, creator of Metaphysical Coding® (MPC®), — a unique form of intuitive energy healing that uses personalised, channelled Healing Codes to help people release the emotional and energetic burdens they have been carrying. Over time, both MPC® and my own intuitive practice have evolved through intuitive guidance and continual refinement, allowing me to support each person in a personalised way. Every session is uniquely guided by the person's Higher Self, revealing the layers that are ready to be transformed. This may involve unresolved emotional wounds, childhood experiences, grief, ancestral patterns, past-life influences, energetic imbalances, spirit-body disconnection, unwanted energetic attachments or other deeper layers affecting their wellbeing. Over the years I've had the privilege of supporting people through some of life's most difficult experiences. Seeing someone reconnect with themselves, rediscover hope and move forward with greater confidence is what continues to inspire the work I do every day. Whether through one-to-one healing sessions, workshops or online support, my focus is always on creating a safe, welcoming space where people feel heard, understood and supported. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone leave with renewed hope and confidence in their future. I primarily work with women who feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves, often after years of putting everyone else first. My passion is helping them let go of what no longer serves them so they can feel lighter, clearer, calmer and more like themselves again. It is a privilege to witness people rediscover who they truly are. Knowing that my work has touched lives enough to be nominated is something I will never take for granted and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has trusted me to be part of their healing journey.
