In an era where holistic and alternative therapies are gaining recognition and popularity, the concept of a “Medical Intuitive” has garnered significant interest. If you’ve ever heard of the Medical Medium, you might already have some familiarity with this field. But what exactly is a Medical Intuitive? How do they work, and what distinguishes them from other healthcare professionals? Having navigated this field myself, I’m excited to share what it means to be a Medical Intuitive and how this unique approach can complement traditional healthcare.
The Early Signs: Realizing My Intuitive Abilities as a Child
A Different Kind of Knowing
Have you ever experienced a gut feeling that turned out to be right or had a sudden insight that seemed to come from nowhere? For some, these moments of intuition are rare and fleeting. For others, like myself, they are a daily part of life.
Early Sensitivities: Intuitive Insights
As a child, I sensed things that others didn’t—or perhaps they did but just didn’t pay attention. I would intuitively know when someone was feeling sad, even if they were smiling. I’d hear words or phrases in my mind that later turned out to be guidance or warnings. Sometimes, I just knew things—random pieces of information or flashes of precognition that would come to me without any logical explanation.
Trust me, sometimes this was scary to my friends. lol
Seeing Beyond the Surface: Energy Fields and Auras & Connecting with Animals
I also saw images and colors around people that I would later understand were their energy fields or auras. I felt emotions and physical sensations that didn’t belong to me, almost as if I were experiencing what others were going through. I somehow always knew where someone was in pain, particularly the pain of elderly people. The discomfort of older men, in particular, would linger with me for quite a while—sometimes for days.
I also felt deeply connected to animals and communicated with them in my own way. I could sense if they were happy or sad, sick or healthy.
Effortless Healing: Using My Hands Intuitively
Something that has always been so effortless for me, something I didn’t even have to think about, was using my hands intuitively. I just knew exactly where to place them on another person’s body to find the spot that was hurting. As I placed my hands there, I could feel a soothing energy flow, almost as if I were being pulled to the blockage. It just comes so natural to me, I don’t have to think about it.
At the time, I didn’t know there were names for these experiences—clairsentience, claircognizance, clairvoyance, and clairaudience. All I knew was that I was a bit different, and I couldn’t understand why others didn’t see, hear, know, or feel the things I did.
Growing up with these intuitive abilities was both a gift and a challenge. It often felt like I was living in two worlds—the physical world that everyone else inhabited and a subtler world that I could perceive but not fully explain. It wasn’t until later in life that I learned there were names for people like me: Medical Intuitives, empaths, energy healers, and psychic mediums. Each term captures a different aspect of these abilities, but all point to the same sensitivity to energies, emotions, and unseen forces.
What It Means to Be a Medical Intuitive
In this blog article, I want to focus particularly on what a Medical Intuitive is, as it differs from other types of intuitive abilities. My journey includes undergoing certification training as a Medical Intuitive, which has deepened my understanding and practice in this specific field.
I want to share my journey of understanding and embracing my intuitive abilities, explain what a Medical Intuitive is, and offer insights into how this unique perspective on health and healing can complement conventional medicine. Whether you’re a skeptic or someone who’s experienced the power of intuition, I hope my story and the information I provide will give you a deeper understanding of this fascinating field and maybe even consider to work with a Medical Intuitive yourself.
What is a Medical Intuitive? My Early Experiences with Intuitive Abilities
From as early as I can remember, my intuition has always been a strong guiding force in my life. As a child, I didn’t have the vocabulary to describe what I was experiencing, but I now know that I was using several intuitive senses. Perhaps you might recognize some of these in yourself as well. Let me explain what they are:
- Clairsentience (Clear Feeling): This was perhaps the most overwhelming of my abilities as a child. I could feel the emotions of others as if they were my own. If someone around me was anxious, I’d feel it in my stomach. If someone was angry, I’d feel a tightness in my chest. It wasn’t until I was older that I realized these feelings weren’t mine; I was simply picking up on the energy of those around me. As an empath, I easily absorbed people’s emotions, a trait that can often be linked to hypervigilance—a common trauma response.
- Claircognizance (Clear Knowing): This ability manifested as a sudden knowing of information without any logical explanation. It is by far my strongest ability. I would often just know things without understanding how I knew them, or I would sense when something was about to happen before it did. As a child, I frequently experienced prophetic dreams, which were not always pleasant.
Having claircognizance felt like having a direct line to knowledge that others couldn’t access. I couldn’t explain how I knew things; I just knew. - Clairvoyance (Clear Seeing): This ability manifested as images or visions. Sometimes, I’d see colors or lights around people, or thousands of tiny, shimmering orbs connecting everything in a beautiful, sparkling network. Observing these orbs still brings me back to the magic that surrounds us, especially during intense experiences when focusing on them offers me a sense of wonder and connection. It’s so beautiful.
Other times, I’d have vivid dreams that later came true, or fragments of them manifested in 3D. - Clairaudience (Clear Hearing): This was the ability to hear words, phrases, or sounds that weren’t audible to others. At times, I’d hear a voice giving me guidance, or I’d pick up on a person’s thoughts as if they were speaking them aloud. As a child, this was confusing and sometimes frightening, especially when the guidance contradicted what others were saying.
Growing up, I noticed that my intuitive abilities were different from what most people seemed to experience. I would ask my friends if they could sense what people felt or if they ever just knew something without being told, but they often looked puzzled. But I also did have friends that experienced similar things which made it a bit easier to navigate these abilities and to accept them as unique.
It wasn’t until I learned about more about spirituality and energy healing that everything began to fall into place.
Understanding Medical Intuition
At its core, medical intuition combines intuitive insight with a holistic approach to health and wellness. A Medical Intuitive is a practitioner who uses their intuitive abilities—this could include all the “clairs” or just one or two of them—to assess a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Unlike conventional medical practitioners who rely on physical examinations, diagnostic tests, and medical histories, Medical Intuitives claim to perceive information directly through extrasensory means.
The role of a Medical Intuitive is not to replace conventional medical diagnosis or treatment but to complement it by offering a unique perspective on health. A skilled Medical Intuitive always works in conjunction with healthcare professionals to provide a more comprehensive view of a person’s health. They may offer insights into the underlying emotional or spiritual causes of physical symptoms, which might not be immediately apparent through traditional medical evaluations.
Viewing the human body holistically, a Medical Intuitive not only considers the physical layers and systems of the body but also takes into account various external factors such as environment, lifestyle, relationships, diet, exercise, and toxin exposure. All these elements are factored into a thorough assessment when working with a Medical Intuitive.
The Origins and Evolution of Medical Intuition
The practice of using intuition for healing is not new. Many ancient cultures and healing traditions have acknowledged the role of intuitive abilities in health and wellness. Shamans, healers, and spiritual leaders across various cultures have historically utilized intuitive insight to guide their healing practices.
However, the modern concept of a Medical Intuitive emerged more prominently in the late 20th century, largely influenced by figures such as Edgar Cayce, often referred to as the “father of holistic medicine,” and Caroline Myss, a well-known author and speaker in the field of energy medicine and human consciousness. The Medical Medium is another well-known medical intuitive who has brought this practice to a broader audience. These pioneers, among many others, have helped shape the contemporary understanding of medical intuition.
I believe a Medical Intuitive plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between conventional medicine and holistic health practices—a role that is needed now more than ever.
Understanding the historical roots of medical intuition adds depth to my practice, reminding me of the rich tradition of intuitive healing that spans across cultures. Knowing that I’m part of a lineage of seekers and healers inspires me to honor these traditions while integrating them into contemporary health practices.
How Does a Medical Intuitive Work?
A Medical Intuitive typically performs an intuitive assessment, which may involve:
- Energetic Scanning: Many Medical Intuitives claim to have the ability to “scan” a person’s body energetically, identifying areas of imbalance, blockage, or disease. This scanning process is said to be done without physical contact and can also occur remotely.
- Intuitive Diagnosis: Through their intuitive abilities, Medical Intuitives may offer insights into the potential causes of symptoms or illnesses. These insights often consider the emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of a person, aiming to provide a more comprehensive understanding of health.
- Holistic Guidance: Based on their findings, a Medical Intuitive might provide guidance on lifestyle changes, emotional healing, spiritual practices, or other holistic interventions that could support the person’s overall well-being.
These methods help me offer insights that go beyond just the physical. They let me connect more deeply with your mind, body, and spirit. By tuning into energetic imbalances and providing holistic guidance, I aim to help you find a sense of balance and harmony that truly resonates with your whole self.
How I Work as a Medical Intuitive
As a Medical Intuitive, I blend intuitive insight with practical guidance to meet each client’s unique needs and circumstances. I don’t follow a one-size-fits-all formula because every person and every session is distinct, with its own set of experiences and energies. I’d love to give you a peek into how I typically conduct my sessions:
- Personal Connection: I believe that establishing a strong connection with my clients is essential. Before any intuitive work begins, I spend time getting to know each person through a free 20-minute Discovery Call, understanding their concerns, and creating a safe and trusting environment.
- Intuitive Assessment: During a session, I use my intuitive abilities to scan the client’s body and energy field. This can involve sensing areas of physical discomfort, emotional stress, or energetic blockages. I scan all bodily systems and organs, the environment, the relationships, diet, toxins exposure, lifestyle, including sleep patterns and water intake; I focus a lot on nutriens and micrnutrients, such a minerals and vitamins. I often receive visual impressions, emotional feelings, or a sense of “knowing” about what might be going on in the client’s body or life.
- Insights and Feedback: Once I have gathered information intuitively, I share my insights with the client. This can include potential areas of concern, emotional patterns that may need addressing, or spiritual insights that could be beneficial for their healing journey. I always encourage an open dialogue, inviting the client to share their thoughts and feelings about the information presented.
- Intuitive Healing: Everyone has the ability to heal themselves—I strongly believe that. It’s important for me to encourage my clients to first believe in their own capacity for healing, because it’s not me or any other practitioner who can heal them; they are their own healers.
Once I have shared all the intuitive information I have received with the client, we then move into an intuitive healing session. This session focuses on clearing emotional and spiritual blockages, making it easier for the client to receive the energy and healing they need. My focus is always on integration, ensuring that the client can fully incorporate the healing into their life. - Holistic Recommendations: Based on the intuitive assessment, I provide recommendations that might include lifestyle changes, nutritional adjustments, emotional healing techniques, or spiritual practices. I emphasize that my role is to complement, not replace, conventional medical care, and I often suggest that clients discuss any findings or recommendations with their healthcare providers.
- Ongoing Support: Healing is a journey, and I offer ongoing support to my clients as they work through their challenges with me. Whether through follow-up sessions, check-ins, or providing additional resources, I am committed to helping them achieve a balanced and healthy life.
My approach to medical intuition is deeply rooted in my belief that each person has their own innate healing capacity. By combining intuitive insight with practical guidance, I strive to empower clients to tap into their own healing potential, creating a collaborative and supportive environment for their journey.
The Science Behind Medical Intuition: What Do We Know?
While many people report positive experiences with Medical Intuitives, it is important to note that the practice remains largely unproven within the realm of conventional science. The nature of intuition itself is difficult to quantify and study under traditional scientific methodologies, which rely heavily on empirical evidence and reproducibility.
Some proponents argue that intuition taps into a form of knowledge that exists beyond the scope of the conscious mind, potentially involving the subconscious or even universal consciousness. Others suggest that intuitive abilities may be linked to heightened sensory perception or a deeper attunement to subtle energetic changes in the body.
Despite the lack of scientific validation, the field of medical intuition continues to grow rapidly. This growth reflects a growing recognition that there’s more to health and healing than what conventional medicine alone can address. Many practitioners are now integrating intuitive practices into their holistic health offerings, acknowledging that a comprehensive approach can be beneficial. If you choose to work with a Medical Intuitive, it’s important to approach the experience with an open mind, while also valuing and considering the insights and treatments offered by conventional medicine.
While the scientific community continues to explore the nature of intuition, my personal experiences and those of many others affirm the value of integrating intuitive practices with conventional methods. This blend of science and intuition creates a more comprehensive approach to health and healing in my opinion.
The Benefits and Considerations of Working with a Medical Intuitive
Many people seek the services of a Medical Intuitive for a variety of reasons. Some of the potential benefits include:
- Holistic Perspective: Medical Intuitives often provide insights that consider the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—offering a more integrated approach to health.
- Emotional and Spiritual Support: By addressing the emotional and spiritual dimensions of health, Medical Intuitives can help you identify and release deep-seated emotional traumas or stressors that may be impacting your physical health.
- Complementary Care: For those undergoing conventional medical treatment, working with a Medical Intuitive can offer additional support and potentially accelerate healing.
However, it is also important to consider the following:
- Lack of Regulation: Unlike conventional medical practitioners, Medical Intuitives are not universally regulated or licensed, meaning that standards of practice can vary widely.
- Not a Replacement for Medical Care: Medical Intuition should not be seen as a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment. It is always recommended to consult with a licensed healthcare provider for any medical concerns.
- Varying Experiences: The effectiveness and accuracy of a Medical Intuitive’s insights can vary greatly from person to person, depending on the individual’s needs, the practitioner’s skills, and the nature of the health issue.
A Personalized Path to Health and Healing
Medical intuition offers a unique perspective on wellness that transcends conventional boundaries. Although it may not yet be fully supported by traditional scientific research, its growing popularity indicates that many people find value in its holistic, integrative approach to health.
If you are considering working with a Medical Intuitive, it’s essential to conduct thorough research and approach the experience with both openness and discernment. Prioritize your overall well-being by combining intuitive insights with appropriate medical care.
The key is to find a balance that resonates with you personally and supports your journey towards optimal health and wellness. As I mentioned before, I believe that everyone possesses these intuitive skills and can become their own best healer, intuitively knowing what’s best for them—whether through conventional medicine or exploring alternative approaches like medical intuition.
Opening ourselves to new ways of thinking about health and healing can lead to a profound reconnection, helping us see deeper connections between our physical symptoms and the broader tapestry of our lives.
Looking back, those early experiences really laid the groundwork for my journey as a Medical Intuitive. What once felt like confusing flashes of insight now make perfect sense as key parts of my healing work. It’s amazing how those childhood moments of feeling and knowing connect so naturally with what I do now. It feels like my intuitive abilities have grown and evolved alongside me, making everything come full circle.
