Nicole Borghi

Nicole Borghi

Nicole Borghi is a psychic medium who knew she was special, that she was different from a young age. Nicole and her mom would "ghostbust" houses when she was young, even though they didn't know how to protect themselves at the time. She became more aware of her talents and is now on a journey to share with people how to understand the energy on their bodies and how it affects them and their universe.

Nicole's three tips for betterment are:
1. Pick up your crystal and reconnect to who you are.
2. Breathe.
3. Take a look at yourself, where you are at, and how to better yourself.

Connie Jones

Connie Jones

Connie grew up in a small town in Georgia to high performance, highly religious, loving parents involved in the realm of education. Being driven in a high performance family, she was always expected to do what others felt she should do and be like, even though Connie herself did not feel the same way. She was expected to be the valedictorian, the prom queen, and more, even though those things did not interest Connie and it cost her dearly throughout her early life. It was this lifestyle that caused Connie to nearly break down in her 20's and seek therapy and find out what her true passions and life was all about, namely being an empath, an intuitive,  and a coach/therapist.
