Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Nicole Czysz. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Nicole, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I didn’t actually set out to start a business doing this work—it found me long before I was ready to claim it.
When I was younger, I would visit psychics who would tell me that one day, I would be doing this myself. At the time, I didn’t believe them. I had this idea that you had to be raised in a family of practicing psychics to step into something like this. While I later learned that my grandmother used to read tarot cards, it was something she stopped doing after experiencing negative outcomes, and it became something no one talked about. My mother was always incredibly intuitive and open to the spiritual world, but she never fully pursued her gifts either. So for me, this path felt distant—almost unrealistic.
Everything shifted during a really difficult time in my life when I was in a toxic relationship. I was searching for clarity and thought I was going for a reading, but I ended up receiving both a reading and a Reiki session. That experience changed everything for me. It opened something up that I couldn’t ignore—but at the same time, it was overwhelming.
After that session, I was told that I had a natural ability to work with energy, along with gifts in mediumship, channeling, and card reading. Even hearing that, it took years for me to truly accept it. I slowly started taking classes, learning, and exploring—but I still struggled with the belief that I could actually step into this in a real way.
For a long time, I stayed in the structure of my corporate 9-to-5 job, and I still do today. But there was a pivotal moment when I was laid off that really shifted things for me. That period allowed me to focus on my growth, deepen my abilities, and start taking my gifts more seriously. When I eventually stepped into a new 9-to-5 role, it required me to move away from home and everything familiar. Being in a new environment, away from my usual support system, pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way—it forced me to start showing up, taking on clients, and trusting myself in a way I hadn’t before.
In the beginning, I focused on Reiki and card readings. But over time, I felt a deeper pull. I knew I had more to offer, even if I didn’t fully trust it yet. The biggest shift came when I allowed myself to step into mediumship. I had always been able to feel, sense, and connect with spirit—but claiming the responsibility of delivering messages to others was something that initially scared me.
Eventually, I realized this wasn’t about me—it was about helping people heal.
That’s when everything clicked. I stopped holding back and started fully embracing my abilities. What once felt overwhelming became my purpose. Now, through my work, I’m able to provide not just insight, but comfort, validation, and healing for people on their journeys.
This business wasn’t built from a traditional “idea”—it was built from a calling I could no longer ignore. And the more I leaned into it, the more I saw the impact it had on others. That’s what made me realize this wasn’t just something I could do—it was something I was meant to do.
Today, I continue to balance my 9-to-5 while growing Soul Healing with Nicole—because I truly believe this work is meant to reach the people who need it, exactly when they need it.
Nicole, 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 Spiritual Intuitive, Reiki Master, Psychic Medium, and mentor, and the heart behind my business, Soul Healing with Nicole. My work is centered around helping people reconnect with themselves, find clarity, and heal on a deeper, more soul-aligned level.
My journey into this work wasn’t something I intentionally planned—it unfolded over time through personal experiences that pushed me to grow, heal, and eventually step into my gifts. What started as my own healing journey evolved into a calling to support others. Along the way, I trained in Reiki, expanded my intuitive abilities, and eventually stepped into mediumship, allowing me to connect with spirit and deliver meaningful messages to my clients.
Today, I offer a range of services including psychic mediumship readings, tarot and oracle card readings, and Reiki healing sessions. Each session is tailored to the individual, blending intuitive guidance with energy work to provide not just insight, but real emotional and spiritual healing. In addition to client sessions, I am also a Reiki Master Teacher and mentor, offering workshops and guidance for those who feel called to explore or develop their own abilities.
What I believe sets my work apart is the depth of connection and intention behind it. This isn’t just about giving a reading—it’s about creating a safe, grounded space where people feel seen, validated, and supported. I bridge the gap between the spiritual and the practical, helping clients not only receive messages but also understand how to apply them in their everyday lives.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—whether they’re seeking clarity, closure, or healing. Through my work, I help them gain a deeper understanding of themselves, release emotional blocks, and move forward with more confidence and peace.
What I am most proud of is the impact this work has on others. There is nothing more fulfilling than witnessing someone experience a moment of clarity, healing, or connection that truly shifts something within them. That’s what continues to drive me and deepen my purpose.
At the core of my brand, I want people to know that they already hold so much power within themselves. My role is simply to help guide them back to it. This work is not about dependency—it’s about empowerment, healing, and transformation.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
I believe my honesty, combined with my compassionate approach, is what has helped me build my reputation in this field. My intention in every session is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen and understood, while also receiving clear and authentic guidance.
I’m not someone who tells people what they want to hear—I focus on delivering the messages as they come through, whether from spirit or through the cards. Even when the message is challenging, it’s always shared with the purpose of supporting the client’s highest good and growth.
Clients come to me because they trust that I will be real with them, while still holding space for them with care, empathy, and respect. That balance of truth and compassion is something I deeply value, and I believe it’s a big part of why people feel comfortable returning to my work and referring others.
My goal is always to empower people—not just give answers, but help them trust themselves and their own inner guidance.
Have you ever had to pivot?
There was a deeply personal moment in my life that required me to pivot both personally and in my business. When my dog passed away, it truly shook me in a way I didn’t expect. He wasn’t just a pet—he was my companion, my comfort, and a constant source of grounding for me. His passing left me heartbroken, and I found myself in a space where I needed to slow down and take care of my own healing.
As someone who encourages my clients to prioritize their well-being, this was a moment where I had to truly practice what I teach. I had to take a step back from my work because I realized my heart wasn’t fully in it at the time. It wasn’t easy, and it was a period of deep reflection and emotional processing for me.
For about a year, I didn’t take on as much work as I normally would have, because I knew I needed that time to heal and come back to myself. That experience taught me the importance of honoring your emotions, even when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain.
When I was finally able to return fully to my work, I came back with a deeper sense of compassion and understanding—not just for my clients, but for myself as well. That experience ultimately strengthened my work, because it reminded me that healing isn’t linear, and sometimes the most important thing we can do is give ourselves permission to pause.
