Are You An Empath?

by

Do you know if you are an Empath?

Yesterday, while doing some work in our community space, a woman walked in and hesitantly started to say, “You’re going to think I’m totally nuts, but I feel other people’s feelings all the time and I just can’t handle it anymore!”

All we could do was laugh, because a) there is nothing “nuts” about her statement and b) we have so many many people who make this very same declaration all of the time! It is the nature of our work, afterall.

So you’ve most likely stumbled upon this blog post because you, too, feel other people’s feelings, and might be worried that it’s not normal, and most likely, it’s exhausting you.

Rest assured, you’re not nuts and you’re in good company.

So what is an “empath”?

Empaths are people who are highly attuned to other people’s energy, this can include emotions, thoughts, and more.

If you’re an empath, maybe you already know this about yourself, or maybe you’ve just labeled yourself as “highly sensitive.

Empaths are like sponges for energy – soaking up others’ excitement, crying with them when they are sad, shaking when someone close to them is experiencing rage.

If you are an empath, you’ve probably noticed that large parties or crowds – even fun ones – can make you feel drained or exhausted afterwards.

Perhaps public transportation, amusement parks or concerts make you weary. That’s because you’re an energy sponge! There’s a lot of energy in places like those!

Empaths are not just more highly attuned to others’ emotions, they have more highly attuned senses, too.

You may find you are more light, temperature, sound or smell sensitive than your less empathic friends.

You may need a little more sleep, or just a little more alone time in a quiet space to recharge your batteries.

Being an empath doesn’t mean a lifetime of solitary silence, though.

The same sensitivities that can overwhelm empathic people also come with huge gifts.

Empaths are wonderful listeners. You know that person that everyone feels compelled to share their life story with? Of course you do, because that’s you!  You may enjoy that, but also hate it at the same time!

Empaths are not only good listeners, but they are human bullshit detectors. You can feel when someone is lying.

You can sense the energy around someone.

So many people with empathic abilities seek out help or validation because they have reached a point in their lives where they are shutting down outside stimulation because they have just become too overwhelmed.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

Equipped with the proper tools, you can learn to know what energy belongs to you and what energy doesn’t. You can learn how to ground yourself and set your space so that you can become more intentional and aware of the energies around you.

Being an empath means you have the potential to be an amazing healer if you so choose.

And, some food for thought — we are all empathic by nature, just some may have unconsciously figured out how to shut it down because it was overwhelming. So, which are you, one that feels an overload of everyone else’s stuff, or have you numbed yourself to the world around you?

If you would like to learn more about how to manage the energy around you, as well as have clarity around what is actually yours, please join us for our free 5-day Intuitive Awareness Game.

Then, to gain some tools to really help you have ownership over your own energy, body and intuition, please join us for Reclaim Your Space!

These tools have been life-changing. What I can say about that first class was that it immediately it felt like home.

I lost myself, and disconnected from my spiritual journey, in mommy hood, barely having enough time for simple self-care like showering. Energetic tools weren’t on my radar, even though, prior to kids it was a passion of mine. As a Mom, I forgot to put on the oxygen mask first, and THEN tend to my kiddos. I remember the excitement when signing up for Stacia’s class paired with a little guilt that I was attending a class for ME. I started with the first couple of classes, and have not looked back. These tools have been life-changing. What I can say about that first class was that immediately it felt like home. I knew that there was something quite unique with Stacia’s teaching style. I wanted to gain more certainty over my intuition, and I knew that she was the perfect person to introduce me to a curriculum of transformative tools facilitating stepping into my own personal power and truth!

I started taking classes with Stacia at a time in my life when I had been practicing mindfulness, meditation, yoga, receiving acupuncture and had fallen in love with the “energy world” through my own Reiki practice and teaching Reiki to others. I am blown away by the energy that moves in my body, the healing that happens, and the way that I am encouraged in a safe place to trust my own intuition!

Reclaim Your Space was a life changer for me!

The program was so well organized and prepared, and Stacia was so consciously aware of the energies that were in the class, which really helped me as a highly sensitive person. Learning to harness my power, from an inward state, has been the most beneficial tool in my “reality” toolbox. Since I started the program, I have continued with Stacia, diving deeper into my inner awareness and grabbing a hold of the best version of myself. I now have the tools to know what to correct and how to correct it. This has lead to less physical anxiety, a more successful relationship with my partner, and even a growth in my business! I’m coming from a more neutral state now, and confidently moving within my strengths and passions.

My biggest hangup in fully accessing my gifts was with regard to self-doubt. Stacia‘s matter of fact and deeply compassionate approach was highly affirming. The specific skills and tools practiced throughout the training have had profound implications in my practice with therapy clients. Not only am I more highly attuned, but my clients are benefiting as I pass my new knowledge on to them. I’m so grateful to be part of such a wise and supportive healing community.

I love the space and community Stacia has been able to cultivate through Wooversity. It's a calming, safe space where I've always felt comfortable to share anything that I've been struggling with, going through, or need help with.  The friendships I've made here are more than just lasting, those people actually *see* me in a rare and beautiful way that's still hard to put into words. Reading and clearing other's energies and having them do the same for you is a powerful bond. I'm so grateful these people are a part of my life!

Working with Stacia through two years of coursework led me on a journey that solidified the certainty that not only am I meant to do this work, but that I absolutely can and should integrate it with other modalities when working with my therapy clients.

From physical issues to mental-emotional issues, Stacia's intuitive healing touches it all.

When a member of my family feels stuck, we call Stacia. When the kids are having trouble moving through developmental stages, be it emotional development, tantrums, nightmares, cold sores, over-sensitivity, or malabsorption of food, we call Stacia. When we're stuck feeling negative about a situation, or when we can't move past a trauma, we call Stacia. She never disappoints! My family sees holistic practitioners fairly regularly for various modalities, one of them being Stacia, and my husband and I both feel Stacia has helped us the most. From physical issues to mental-emotional issues, Stacia's intuitive healing touches it all. I think one of the reasons her sessions are so helpful is because they aren't limited to information from and healing of experiences in this lifetime, but they heal underlying issues that span multiple lifetimes, so that we can move on. And when a session sheds light on a recurring pattern or lesson from a multitude of lifetimes, we can consciously choose a different path forward. What a gift!

This journey helped me uncover my true self, step into my intuition, and realize I already had these abilities within me.

I was always intrigued by intuitive work and felt called to give it a try, even without fully knowing what it meant. From the very first class, I was amazed at how natural it felt to use my intuition. It wasn’t something far away, but an ability already within me. Over time, I witnessed my classmates and I giving powerful healings and readings, the kind I would have once sought out from a professional. The growth has been incredible, not only in skills but in self-discovery. Through this journey, I’ve shed layers of expectations and masks, and reconnected with my authentic self as the one who simply gets to be. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has been profoundly transformative and deeply worthwhile.

As a psychotherapist, having the ability to recognize deeper layers of need, access inner wisdom and have a Spirit orientation has been invaluable. Utilizing spiritual tools has shifted my practice and created a holistic self-care routine; they heighten my awareness, lighten my load and invigorate my being daily. From my perspective, there are many ways of knowing; there are book-smarts, street-smarts and Spirit-smarts. Stacia has been a significant influence on my development of the latter. She has instructed and modeled how to trust this insight, and use it in practical ways. I highly recommend working with Stacia to develop your intuitive skills, to serve yourself and your clients more fully.

I had no idea what learning the skill of reading past lives might be like, but I trusted that I could at least try. I learned that as I practiced, I would see something that was a partial picture, but as I began to speak it out loud, it would fill-in and more details would appear. I now get many compliments on having such accurate readings, and I think that came from trusting what came up and saying it as I saw it. This act, of speaking what I saw, helped me go deeper into the ability to see more. Powerful practices!

I learned more ABOUT MYSELF in the program than I did in 5+ years of traditional self help searching.

I spent 5+ years on a self help, personal growth, path before I started the Intuitive Training program. I learned more ABOUT MYSELF in that program than I did in 5+ years of traditional self help searching. Not only that, but I also learned tools to keep improving myself as time went on. Truly life changing.

These teachings have transformed my sleep, my energy, and my practice. I feel safer, clearer, and more connected than ever.

I first came to this work looking for support with insomnia and anxiety, and the results have been life-changing. For the first time in two years, I experienced months of deep, restful sleep. Beyond that, I’ve gained tools to clear other people’s energy from my space, call back my own, and feel safe and grounded in my body. As a bodyworker, I no longer leave my sessions drained — instead, I can create a clear, safe, and healing environment for my clients while protecting my own energy. The physical impact of this work has amazed me: I’ve felt illness shift within minutes and noticed how energy affects every aspect of my well-being. Week by week, layer by layer, I’m discovering new parts of myself, strengthening my intuition, and living with more clarity and presence.

I have taken the year-long program 'Intuitive Training and Self-Healing' and Graduate level trainings, and each week I am blown away by the energy that is moved in my body, the healing that happens, and the way that I am encouraged in a safe place to trust my own intuition. I have gotten clear that we all have this gift as children, yet lose our connection to it over time. It has definitely given me more confidence in my own work as a Reiki teacher and practitioner, as well as new tools to help me with my family!

Doing this work increased my self confidence as a therapist.

Working with Stacia is like coming home. She creates a grounded, nonjudgmental, warm and welcoming space to explore your unique connection to intuition. She teaches practical, concrete tools to support your discernment and find your clarity and seniority. Doing this work increased my self confidence as a therapist, and confirmed what I intuitively knew – energy and intuition is life, and that shows up in the therapy room too. For example, I’ve used what I learned in her classes to help me work with boundaries for myself and clients. I’ve used tools of grounding, releasing and pulling back in one’s own energy. I speak with clients about tuning into their own intuition and how to come to know this voice over fear and anxiety. And I speak with clients of noticing their energy, and when someone else’s energy might be in their space. Training with Stacia slowly and surely changed my private practice, and my life. I highly recommend working with her if you feel called to explore this next step.

This journey has been life-changing — the best investment I’ve ever made for my growth, healing, and connection to my intuition.

Every class feels like a blessing and an opportunity to release old beliefs and connect more deeply with myself, my intuition, and my spiritual guides. Over this year I’ve learned powerful tools to heal, protect, and ground myself, which I now use every day. These teachings allow me to trust my inner voice, honor who I truly am, and live with more presence and clarity. What I thought would be “a course” turned out to be millions of times more profound than I could imagine. These are just not courses — they are a lifelong journey of growth. I feel immense gratitude for Stacia’s brilliance, compassion, and guidance. Truly, this has been the most valuable investment of my life.

This was the beginning of me trusting my intuitive and psychic potential!

Before learning how to read auras or past lives, I always thought that this would be something I could never do myself. I had the belief that there are a couple of gifted intuitives that can access this tool. After only a couple of sessions with Stacia I was totally blown away by my intuitive abilities, getting immediate feedback on the accuracy of my readings. This was definitely the beginning of me trusting my intuitive and psychic potential and not doubting myself all the time. Also, I am grateful that now I have an incredible range of tools that can help my loved ones as well as my clients to understand themselves better and to move forward.

Stacia is a gifted teacher for students of all levels, and I’ve especially appreciated the depth of her advanced classes.

I have had the honor of attending many of Stacia’s classes, and each one is a gift. She creates a classroom space that is safe, grounded, and beautifully supportive. Her teachings and meditations are clear, and her ability to sense what the group needs within each subject is truly remarkable. Recently, I’ve been part of her Trancemedium classes, which have been deeply inspiring. Stacia holds her students with genuine care, creating a safe container where exploration and growth naturally unfold. She has a unique ability to read the energy in the room, guiding students toward experiences that may feel uncomfortable at first, yet always lead to meaningful growth—delivered with kindness and permission. Even when teaching advanced techniques, Stacia’s clarity makes them accessible and easy to understand. She welcomes all questions with openness and respect. Stacia is a gifted teacher for students of all levels, and I’ve especially appreciated the depth of her advanced classes.

The community built through WooVersity is a beautiful extension of the healing Stacia’s programs offer.

It is a safe and loving sanctuary of sensitive souls that provide extra support as we navigate through life challenges and with whom we can celebrate our achievements as we progress on our spiritual journey. I have met people who instantaneously reflected back to me the depths of who I am. Remembering who I am on a soul level, in this way, has been truly life-changing.

Let's Talk About Woo

A note from Rev. Stacia, WooVersity's Founder

Welcome!  I am honored to offer the space that we hold here at WooVersity to the world!

So WHY WOO?

I will start by telling you that I am at a place in my life where I am certain in myself, and how working with spirit and energy has dramatically enhanced my life. I also LOVE amusement and thoroughly enjoy referring to my work in the world as WOO – especially when something magical happens.  So, for me, WooVersity is merging what I know to be a valuable way to perceive life, with a bit of fun and amusement!

After my own lifetime of struggles, I found deep healing and authentic transformation by connecting to a form of spiritual practice that spoke to my soul.

During this journey of self-discovery, I have been called “woo” or “woo-woo” many times!

At first, it would make me laugh … and feel a little uncomfortable. People use the term for so many things, especially as a judgement or a joke, and I realized my discomfort mostly came from not really being certain in what it meant for me! Fear, embarrassment, doubt – you name it, would come up when the “woo” word was thrown around.  Essentially, I gave other people the opportunity to define my truth.

As I have continued to traverse through my own personal inner healing and transformation, I have come to clarity on what WOO means for me.

I TRUST IN: MY intuition, MY spirit, MY body, and MY purpose in life.

A big part of this trust came from the mastery of the unseen element of energy – and my spirit is energy – as it manifests into my body, emotions, and thoughts.

Body/spirit connection is the key to life, for me. And the way I embrace all of this with awareness is what I call living an intuitively guided life.

I believe in the full spectrum life has to offer: from energy healing to modern medicine, focus to daydreaming, technology to backpacking, marathons to meditation, anger to joy – all of it is important!

I also know that my physical experiences, beliefs, and energy can change in any and every moment.  Nothing is permanent.  We are unique and ever-changing beings.  Energy is a constant flow; how I respond to the current is what counts.

I am ever inspired by the group of souls who cross my path as they commit to themselves and gather the pieces of their mind-body-spirit puzzle.

And all of us love WOO!

So if you are seeking more knowledge, transformation, personal growth and community – around spirit, energy awareness, emotional intelligence, and more – please explore some of our course offerings or reach out for private session (see bottom of page).

I invite you to explore the world of WOO, and gain certainty in what means for you! Especially if you have been hiding from it because the world told you to!

Please read on to learn a bit more about how I arrived at this poignant time, where I deeply honor my mind/body/spirit connection – finding amusement in all the joys and challenges of being alive!

Much love,
