Pioneering Nicolya in new call to heal

FOR over five years, psychic life coach Nicolya Christi lay stricken by a mystery illness that baffled medical science and brought her to death's door, but which provided her with an unusual empathy for those who come to her for help and healing. Now she says she has been "called" to Glastonbury to continue practising her unique therapy which combines psychotherapy with mediumistic and clairvoyant skills. She feels a "magnetic pull" from Glastonbury's sacred sites, including the Tor and Chalice Well, and the energies she finds in the landscape. "About a year ago, I began feeling this inner prompting, which just got stronger," she told me. "There's a reason for me being here that I just don't know about yet. My sense is that within six months it will make sense to me."

Newly arrived from West Penwith, Cornwall, and living close to Glastonbury at Godney, Nicolya has an extraordinary story to tell of personal endurance and self-awakening. With disarming frankness, she tells how, from 1997 until 2003, she experienced a series of "extra-dimensional visitations", which she likened to a high-voltage current passing through her, catalysing out-of-body journeying, and "blowing the circuits of my nervous system and resulting in a near-to-death illness". She said: "I suffered a total collapse and as a result was dangerously ill. During the first two weeks of this collapse, I experienced 'dying'. For three months, I was unable to walk, sit up unaided or cope with any sensory stimulation. "For nearly five years, I remained chronically ill with this medically undiagnosed and untreated mystery illness which continued to remain a constant threat to my life and baffled both conventional and unconventional specialists. In time, I came to understand the reasons for this condition and, in so doing, have effected my own healing."

Nicolya regards her pioneering work as an important addition to the new wave of therapies which have emerged in recent years. During her psychotherapy training, tutors told Nicolya she was not allowed to draw on her psychic gifts. She was given an ultimatum: either give up her career as a therapist or her vocation as a medium and clairvoyant. She completed three years of her psychotherapy training, keeping her psychic experiences secret. "The work of a genuine medium and clairvoyant can heal in one session what many have striven for in dozens of sessions with a psychotherapist or counsellor," said Nicolya. "My vocational purpose is to help as many people as I can reach, to heal to wholeness in a safe and grounded way. Psychic life coaching offers a new way for us to heal deep wounds in weeks, as effectively as if we had been in therapy for years."

Nicolya's consultancy is conducted over the telephone and clients call her from all over the world.
