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.

Laura Llaguno
Hi I’m Laura 🤗 Like many people in this space, my introduction into healing work came through my own struggles with severe burnout, chronic stress and health challenges in my teens and early twenties while working as a hairdresser. That experience led me down a path of exploring holistic healing modalities including Reiki, naturopathy, nutrition, breathwork, sound healing, nervous system regulation + more. I didn’t originally choose this path because it felt inspiring or spiritual at the time, I chose it because I wasn’t getting better doing things the conventional way. Looking back now, I truly believe those early challenges guided me toward the work I was always meant to do. 🙏🏼 Today I’m a Reiki Master practitioner and teacher, sharing a grounded, nervous system-informed approach to Reiki and emotional healing. I feel incredibly honoured and grateful to be nominated for these awards 🤍☀️
Mila Velazquez
✨ I am an Intuitive Energy Healer, Certified Emotion Code Practitioner, Intuitive Spiritual Advisor, and a Spiritual Teacher. I am also a proud retired Physical Therapist with 30 years of experience in evaluating and treating diseases, disorders, injuries and illnesses of the body. My specialty is in rehabilitation, mainly orthopedics, neurology, and Women's Health issues. ✨ ⚡️ My work is centered on identifying and releasing the energetic root causes of the issues creating blockages in your life. Whether you are experiencing physical pain, emotional distress, relationship struggles, lack of abundance, or self-sabotaging patterns and behaviors, I help uncover the deeper imbalances affecting your well-being. ⚡️ 👁️ Through intuitive guidance, consciousness work, subconscious communication, and connection with your higher self, I look for the underlying root cause of the issue. By working within both the physical and non-physical realms, I help bring awareness to the energetic, emotional, spiritual, and subconscious imprints that may be contributing to imbalance and dis-ease. ❤️ 🌀 My work is rooted in metaphysical healing and the understanding that consciousness, energy, and the body are deeply interconnected. By accessing deeper levels of awareness, I support the body's innate intelligence and natural ability to restore balance, alignment, healing, and inner peace. 🔬 Using science-based principles, quantum physics, spirituality, energy, intuition, and consciousness, I assist in bringing clarity, awareness, emotional release, and transformation to the mind, body, spirit, and soul. By releasing trapped emotional energies and energetic distortions, I help create space for deeper healing and lasting change. ❤️ ⚡️ Because energy and consciousness are not limited by time or space, I offer distance healing sessions worldwide. 🌎
Emma Stawicki
Hi, I'm Em Stawicki The Spiritual Rebel, Psychic Medium, Spiritual Mentor and founder of Modern Mediumship Academy. I'm on a mission to bridge the gap between life and death through modern mediumship while challenging the beliefs that keep so many people doubting themselves and their abilities. Through my teaching, mentorship programmes, retreats and online community, I've helped hundreds of aspiring mediums realise they don't need to spend a decade sitting in circles to connect with Spirit. My work blends mediumship, shadow work and trauma-informed practices because I believe mediumship isn't just about connecting with loved ones in Spirit, it's a powerful healing modality that brings comfort, closure and hope. Most of all, I'm passionate about creating a space for the misfits, sensitive souls and spiritual rebels who never quite felt they belonged. Because spirituality shouldn't be about following the rules, it should be about finding what feels true to you.
