We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jessica Tanselle a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Jessica, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’re complete cheeseballs and so we love asking folks to share the most heartwarming moment from their career – do you have a touching moment you can share with us?

The moment I discovered I was a Medium, I was taking a shower and I heard a thought in my head. I heard, “ Jessica, tell your mom I love her and I’m sorry I wasn’t there for her.” I immediately, thought how strange it was to be calling out to myself by name and then I knew exactly what had happened. I heard a message for my mother from her cousin. He passed away when I was four.

I called my mom immediately and told her what had happened. She went on to tell me that she received that message several years before but she thought it was from her brother. I was able to deliver a very healing message to her just prior to her passing. The timing was just perfect for her healing and my awakening. I realized that day that this had been happening my whole life. I have always been able to sense spirit around me.

Jessica, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a Medium, Shamanic Healer, + Spiritual Teacher. I help people heal from loss + trauma, feel aligned on their path, + get connected to their intuition. I offer one on one sessions, cacao ceremonies, spiritual retreats, classes, and mentoring.

My gifts began with Mediumship and expanded immediately into becoming a healer and understanding my psychic abilities that go hand in hand with my Mediumship.

Mediums are conduits between the seen and unseen. In session, I connect to your loved ones on the other side. I bring through details, evidence, and messages from them. Psychic guidance will allow you to have clarity on what’s coming up for you. This allows your to make shifts and changes to keep on the path you’d like to create and manifest. Shamanic Healing sessions and ceremonies allow healing to the mind, body, and soul in this life and other lives. You will experience sound healing, vocal toning, reiki energy healing, and aromatherapy.

Some of these sessions and ceremonies are combined with the heart opening plant medicine of cacao to enhance your connection to your higher self. Cacao is a ancient plant spirit used to open up our connection to our soul and help us heal. I truly believe that plant medicine allows us to regain our own knowledge and history to be able to feel fully empowered in our truth.

Through my studies of understanding my own gifts, I have gained confidence in myself and in my intuition. I believe we all have intuition that we can listen to and use as our true inner guidance.

When I began my search to find a mentor, there weren’t many near me. This is what inspired me to eventually begin teaching what I have learned and experienced. I empower others to understand that their intuition can be utilized to better understand themselves fully and feel aligned in their life.

I offer virtual classes, practice groups, and one on one mentoring to other Mediums, Psychics, and healers. It is an honor to empower other Intuitives on their path to becoming a spiritual guide. These classes also allow you to be connected to a community of others exploring their intuition.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

Having a mentor has allowed me to have support and feel uplifted as I move through life and business. I have had the opportunity to study with Mediums in Louisville, Ky, New York, and England. I continue to study and expand my gifts.

I find that by continuing to expand your gifts in classes and or with a mentor, you expanding your techniques, you learn new ways, and you have the opportunity to network.

By adding a mentor to your training, it allows you to feel validation, support, and confidence. You don’t have to take this life path alone. Choose a mentor that wants to see you succeed and cheers you on even as you grow beyond them.

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

In November of 2019, I was still working as a dental hygienist. I had a wonderful career in dental. I was cleaning teeth one day, my account was over drawn, and I remember thinking, “Where is my manifesting mindset?”

I knew at some point that I was going to quit my dental career. I knew that my intuition had me guiding me to do that as well. I felt it and I had another psychic tell me to set a date.

As soon as I finished with that patient, I put in my notice. I took a leap of faith and trusted my intuition that it was time to become a Medium full time.

My last day was January 31, 2020. By trusting my inner knowing and making this shift, I took an entirely new path.

This was such a powerful shift that has allowed me freedom and happiness. My business continues to grow and expand since I trusted spirit and chose to be a Medium + Spiritual Teacher.
