About Whispy Gypsy

When I was 16 I had dreams that came true, I always got
strong gut feelings when it came to my intuition and apparently it all came
from my Nana. I picked up my first deck of tarot cards in my early 20’s and
strangely enough they just started talking to me. Fast forward to 2020, when I
moved to the States from the UK, I knew it was a risk in life, let alone in my
business; but I was desperate to get here to see what opportunities would come
knocking at my door. I’d always known I had ‘gifts’ but it wasn’t until I’d
moved to Chicago and homed in on them that I realised how strong they were. I’m
a third-generation psychic medium; I did a course with Mark the Midwest Medium
and within 8 weeks I was starting my own psychic medium business.

In September 2022 I rented a 6ft x 12ft space in a flea
market and that’s where Whispy Gypsy was born. I started out just doing
readings and making my own basic crystal beaded bracelets; however, as soon as
that began, my creative juice really started to flow. The first risk, I
literally started the company with no money, I maxed out my credit card and
prayed that I’d make enough money to sustain myself, let alone pay that off. Second
risk, people have mixed emotions about psychics and their ability to ‘talk to
dead people’, I didn’t want people’s small minds assuming I was working for
dark energies etc. Third risk, I’m a legal non-immigrant alien in this country,
and being British, on a particular visa etc would I be allowed to do this
business alongside the one I’d been granted access to the USA for too? Yes, I
could so enough about ricks, it was my turn to leap. And leap is what I did, I
went leaps and bounds ahead of anything I ever expected.

After being in the smaller space at the trade centre, I
moved to a bigger space in the same building to then owning my very own store
in Madison Heights in Michigan. The risks I’d taken over the last year has paid
off so much and more! Since February 2025 I closed the store due to the
flexibility being too restricted, I am a gypsy after all and being contained to
one space really didn’t sit well with me. It was the best move I ever made, now
I’m free to do readings in people’s homes where I feel their energy the
strongest, I can do all the events I want to without having to get the store
covered and I’m far less stressed!

 I’m now a
qualified Holy Fire Reiki Practitioner; I operate out of two salons, one in
Chesterfield and one in Sterling Heights. Due to my mediumship gifts I have the
ability to feel what’s wrong with you in me; if you have a painful right knee,
I can feel where the pain is. So, unlike other Reiki Practitioners, I don’t
waste time healing areas that don’t need healing, I’ll concentrate solely on
the areas that need attention.

When you’re willing to take risks, you learn so much not
only about yourself, but other people too. You have to be smart and think ahead
as to how you’re not only going to pay next month’s utilities, but the two
months after that too. If you so much as stop thinking about how your business
is going to carry on, you’ll drop the ball and the risk then is keeping it
going without failing.

In conclusion, risk taking has got me where I am today,
3866 miles away from home, 1 business in the UK, and 2 businesses in the US,
without taking those risks I’d still be working a 9am to 5pm regular job,
they’ve all been risks worth taking!
