Diamond Star Counseling, Boulder

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

I offer one-hour intuitive readings that give people beautiful clarity and guidance on painful or confusing issues going on in their lives. Many people also receive readings for fun, because even one session is a powerful experience that you will hold on to for the rest of your life. Clients feel deeply seen and heard and often resonate on a soul level with the information they receive.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

I have a background with various traditions of shamanism and spiritual medicine (as well as holistic medicine- I am also an acupuncturist and herbalist). My background in shamanism naturally led me to begin doing readings and healings for friends and family, which spread to become my career and livelihood. I love what I do and the best part is that this work makes a huge difference in people's lives.

What do you love most about your job?

I love people, and I love that every single person is unique. I love getting to know each individual during their session and getting to see the effects of this work on their well-being. It's the most rewarding thing.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

The best reactions are both big and small. I've had people tell me that information they received during a reading was literally life-changing, and some people have reached out to me months or even years later to tell me how. I also love to hear people say that they finally feel like themselves again after receiving a reading - just hearing about yourself in a deep way can bring you back to yourself and it's very empowering and healing.
