Here's a few words from Heather: "My mediumship started when I was about 20 years old. I noticed an intuition that would occur around pregnant women. After starting to pick up on these coincidences; I started to pay attention and began noticing my gifts evolved into recognizing spirits that were around me. Overall, it took years to recognize and develop my craft into what it is today. Learning and growing in this work never stops. I invest time and energy into my craft everyday to better my skills and mediumship to better serve my clients.

Holly Stafford

I'm a crone now, I was a daughter among 5 sisters and I bore 6 daughters, (5 of which I had at home) plus my step son and step daughter. I have 6 step grandchildren and 5 biological grandchildren. I sometimes joke that I have been parenting all my life. It isn't actually a joke.

I am best known for the small metaphysical shop I own and operate, Mother Moon, which grew out of my own journey into spirit and knowledge and a quest for healing.

I consider myself a witch, understanding that the root of that word, the old English 'wick' meant life force energy, something like chi in the language of energy healing. In this context a witch is one who is connected and conscious of that life force and the nature through which it flows and is felt. Since I like to poke around in the fields and woods and hedges and my favorite thing is gardening, hedge witch is an apt title.

I studied art when I attended Hope College, which was an experience that I credit with putting me on a pagan path, although I have been a student of shamanism since my teens.

As part of my healing journey I've learned a bit about crystals, herbalism, homeopathy, and other vibrational modalities. My drug of choice is fire walking.
