Demi making her first appearance on a podcast was so kind to join me and talk about many aspects of her personal life. She currently practices reiki and is a clairvoyant medium, combining both to provide a compassionate and unique way to help people mentally, physically and spiritually. We also spoke in depth about Demis past, hearing how a strong, independent woman experienced many’s struggles through her mental and physical health being subject to trauma.
