We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Stacey Niedentohl. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Stacey below.

Stacey, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

The greatest risk I ever took was learning to trust that my faith and my calling could coexist.
I grew up in the church, where mediumship was often misunderstood. Conversations about mediumship were often framed as dark and deceptive. So, when I began experiencing clear and loving connections with Spirit, my first response wasn’t excitement, it was prayer. I asked God for discernment. I asked for protection. I asked to be shown the truth.
What I came to understand over time was that the love coming through this work felt aligned with everything I had been taught about God: compassion, healing, restoration and hope. There was no darkness in it. There was no fear. There was only love.
Today, I don’t see my work as separate from my faith. I see it as an extension of it. Without God, I would not be able to offer the kind of love and light that moves through these sessions. Trusting that truth was the real leap of faith. My faith didn’t leave me. It expanded me

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My journey into this work didn’t start off with a plan. It started with a need for healing. For approximately 2 years, I was experiencing severe panic attacks and depression. So much so that I went to see my physician. I thought I was sycophantic or dementia was setting in. In the midst of this, my mother faced a brief but intense cancer diagnosis and passed away. Grief and fear consumed me and I felt lost.
In the midst of that, I attending a small group reading. My husband advised against it because of our beliefs but I needed something to help me move forward. After the reading the medium pulled me to the side and explained that Spirit was “tapping on my shoulder.” I didn’t fully understand at first. But it sparked something inside me. I spent months in prayer, study and reflection, trying to discern what was real, what was coming from God and what was coming from grief made up in my mind. After about a year, I gave my first reading. It was as if a door opened, and I could finally breathe again.
My mother was my first teacher on earth and she was also my first teacher in Spirit. She continues to guide me and teach me every day, even though she is no longer physically here. That connection has taught me that grief doesn’t end love, and that God’s presence and guidance are always available when we ask for discernment and trust.
What sets me apart is this lived experience. I don’t offer sessions as a performance; I’m not a party trick or as an intellectual exercise. I offer them as sacred space, grounded in faith, prayer, and a deep awareness of the responsibility I hold for those who come to me in some of their most venerable moments. My goal isn’t just to deliver messages; it’s to help people feel God’s love, find hope, and reconnect with what continue to live beyond the physical.
What I am proudest to offer clients is healing love. A safe, compassionate space where they can grieve, process, and feel light again. Every session is an opportunity for them to experience peace, clarity and connection by Spirit and rooted in God’s presence.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

My reputation in this field has been built less on promotion and more on integrity, trust and faith. From the beginning, I approached my work with discernment, prayer and a commitment to holding sacred space for each person who comes to me. From the beginning and in every session since, my readings have been grounded in care, honesty and a deep respect for each person’s experience. Word of mouth naturally grew from those early sessions as people realized the work was sincere and transformative.
Over time, people recognized that I offer more than a message. I offer healing love, guidance and a safe space to process grief and reconnect with God. Listening to clients’ fears and needs inspired me to publish a book, creating a resource to help people navigate grief and find clarity even when they can’t sit in a session with me.
Ultimately, my reputation has grown because I consistently show up with faith, humility, and compassion. People know that the work I do is sincere, ethical, and deeply transformative, and that rust has been the foundation of everything I’ve built.

If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?

Absolutely! I would choose this path again. But the truth is, I didn’t exactly choose it. It chose me. I didn’t fully step into it until I was almost 50. The calling was there as a child, nightmares of eyes chasing me, “imaginary goats” trying to describe ghosts, but it scared me. Trama in my twenties showed me I was meant to help people, even thought I didn’t yet know how. The grief from the death of my mother in my late 40’s took me on a path to seek healing.
The trauma, panic, loss, grief and driving two hours to see a medium became the catalyst that made me realize I was meant to help people process grief. Every step since has been a process of learning to trust God, trust Spirit and trust myself. Saying yes to this work, even later in life, has been the hardest, most beautiful, and most rewarding choice of my life. And I know I have been divinely guided every step by God and Spirit.
