4 Tips for Choosing a Spiritual Practitioner Who's Right for You

Finding the right psychic, medium, intuitive, or healer is a deeply personal decision. It's crucial to trust your instincts and exercise discernment when selecting a practitioner to ensure they resonate with you, where you are at on your journey, and your individual needs. While we offer recommendations for spiritual practitioners on our website, it's essential to do your own research and choose someone who aligns authentically with your spiritual path. If you're uncertain or seeking additional guidance, checkout our tips below to help with your decision.  Tip #1: Choosing Virtual or In-Person  It turns out that energy is not bound by time or space, allowing many practitioners to effectively tap into your energy field remotely, provided they have your permission. This expands your pool of potential practitioners beyond your local area, enabling you to connect with someone who resonates deeply with your needs, specialties, or experiences. Meeting a psychic or intuitive online is just as impactful as an in-person session, contrary to common belief. With proper research, you can distinguish between authentic practitioners and those who may seem less genuine. Always trust your intuition—a reputable practitioner will encourage and respect your instincts without hesitation. Tip #2: Be a Digital Detective Before Swiping Right

Just like in dating, you want to do your due diligence before committing to a session with a spiritual practitioner. Soooo...

Crawl their website & social profiles: Whether you're looking for a local or a distance spiritual practitioner to connect with, always check out their websites. Do they have clear information about their experience, qualifications, and the modalities they practice? Is the pricing information straightforward and easy to understand? If the answer to either of these questions is "no," then we recommend you keep looking.

Read reviews and testimonials: See what other people have experienced working with this medium or healer. There will always be the outliers who give horrendous reviews or too-good-to-be true reviews. Look at the general trends in the reviews and take them into consideration when deciding whether to work with this person or not. 

Listen to Interviews: We discovered almost all of the practitioners we recommend above by listening to interviews with them on spiritual podcasts. The interviews really give you the chance to listen to what they have to say and assess whether you find them relatable or not. We find this to be one of the best and most effective ways to get a good feel for psychics and mediums.

Certifications & Associations: While certifications aren't always a guarantee of quality, some healers belong to professional organizations that may have codes of ethics. It's always worth looking to see what certifications they hold or what associations they belong to.

Tip #3: Vibe Check - Schedule a Consultation

Many psychics, mediums and healers offer free introductory consultations. This is a great opportunity to ask questions about their process, fees, and experience. Pay attention to how you feel during the consultation. Do you feel comfortable and respected? Listen to your gut and if you have reservations, you're uncomfortable or anything feels off, just keep looking. This isn't the right fit for you.

Tip #4: Watch Out for Sus Behavior

If a spiritual practitioner employs scare tactics, pressures you into commitments, or insists on actions that make you uncomfortable, it's advisable to avoid them and seek someone who respects your boundaries and intuition. Specifically, here are some behaviors you want to be wary of:

Guarantees/promises of specific outcomes: A reputable medium or healer won't guarantee results, especially when it comes to predicting the future. A genuine practitioner is here to help you connect, guide you on your journey and empower YOU to be a creator of your future.

High-pressure sales tactics: If someone is pressuring you to commit to multiple sessions or expensive services, be cautious. Worse yet, if they tell you negative information and paying them more money is the only way to resolve the negativity, run away.

Focus on negativity or fear: A good medium or healer will help you move forward in a positive way, not dwell on negative aspects of your life. This doesn't mean you might not hear some difficult information, but if it's overly doom and gloom you aren't getting the support you need on your spiritual path.

As you look for a spiritual practitioner who is right for you, just remember that you are in the driver's seat with this process. It's perfectly okay to interview several mediums or healers before choosing someone to work with. Good luck and have fun!
