Daniela DeCastro: My Journey With Spirit
The experiences, relationships and lessons that shaped my life as a psychic medium—and taught me to trust the guidance I had been receiving since childhood.
A Personal Introduction
Hello, I’m Daniela
My connection with spirit has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, although understanding and accepting it was a journey of its own.
What once felt confusing—and at times frightening—eventually became something I learned to recognize, trust, and respect. I learned how to approach my work with Spirit with greater understanding, discernment, and clear boundaries. These experiences taught me to listen more deeply to my intuition and to recognize the responsibility that comes with supporting others on their own spiritual journeys.
I don’t believe spirituality should feel distant or intimidating. I approach every conversation as myself: compassionate, honest and down to earth.

Where My Story Began
A Childhood Connection With Spirit
I first became aware of my mediumship abilities when I was very young, although I did not yet have the words to understand what I was experiencing.
Shortly after my fourth birthday, I lost both of my grandmothers within six weeks of one another. The women in my father’s family had always been important to me, and I later learned that intuitive and spiritual experiences were also part of my family’s history.
I never met my father's biological mother or my great-grandmother during their physical lives, yet through my mediumship experiences, I came to feel that I knew them both.
I have wonderful memories of Grandma Marguerite, the loving soul who raised my dad. Sadly, she passed away when I was only four years old. Years later, through my mediumship, Grandma Marguerite helped me understand the deeper value of this work and the importance of helping spirits connect with their living loved ones.
I am deeply grateful that she has remained a loving and protective presence in my life, and that her connection with me has continued in a way I could never have imagined as a child.
For me, speaking with my grandmother felt normal. It did not occur to me that other people might experience it differently.
When I was older, my eldest sister told me that I would sometimes share information as a child that she could not understand how I knew. Whenever she asked me where it came from, I would simply tell her, “Grandma told me.”
I also remember seeing what appeared to me to be a Native American village near our childhood home: fires burning, people completing their daily tasks and children moving between the teepees. I kept the experience to myself for years, believing it might have been my imagination. Today, I understand it as one of my earliest spiritual experiences.
Recognising Intuitive Guidance
Learning to Listen
My intuitive abilities often guided me throughout my life, but it took me many years to understand that not every message I received was simply my own internal dialogue.
As a child, I remember walking through school one day, wondering how I would recognize the person I was meant to marry. Almost immediately, I heard the answer: “He will be left-handed.”
Years later, I married a left-handed man.
At the time, I had no idea that this seemingly simple message would one day become one of the experiences that helped me understand and recognize my intuitive abilities.
“Take Your Umbrella”
On a beautiful, sunny morning, as I stood in my foyer preparing for work, I clearly heard, “Take your umbrella.” I dismissed it. I’m already carrying enough, and it’s a beautiful day. Again, I heard, “Take your umbrella.” I ignored it. When I left work that afternoon, I walked straight into the monsoon. That was one of my early lessons in learning to listen.
One Important Word
I noticed that the guidance addressed me as “you.” My own thoughts normally began with “I.” That small difference helped me recognise where the message appeared to be coming from.
When you speak to yourself, you usually say, “I should.” The guidance I received said, “You should.” That distinction changed how I understood what I was hearing.
Learning to notice the language, tone and feeling accompanying an intuitive impression helped me develop greater discernment. It is also something I encourage my clients to observe in their own lives: not accepting every thought unquestioningly, but becoming more aware of how their inner guidance communicates.
Accepting My Mediumship
Closing—and Reopening—the Door
There was a period of my life when I tried to close myself off from mediumship because I did not yet understand how to create healthy boundaries.
Unwanted spiritual activity could feel intrusive and overwhelming. At the time, I did not know that I could set limits around when and how I engaged with it. With experience, I learned that boundaries matter in spiritual work just as much as they do in everyday life.
Stepping Away
I suppressed much of my mediumship because the experiences had become difficult to manage.
Experiencing Loss
After my parents died, I began to see my connection differently—as something that might offer comfort rather than fear.
Choosing to Reconnect
Reopening that part of myself required patience, focus and a conscious decision to trust it again.
I began repeating a simple intention: “I want to open this door again to the spirit world.” Then, one night, I had a vivid dream.
I saw a doorframe standing alone among the clouds. Behind it was an enormous line of spirits waiting to connect with the people they loved. The number of them frightened me, and I immediately wanted to close the door again.
Then I saw my grandmother Marguerite standing in the doorway. I could not bring myself to close the door in her face. In that moment, I understood my mediumship differently: not as something I needed to fear, but as something I could approach responsibly, compassionately and on clear terms.
That experience became a turning point in accepting this part of who I am.
How I Work Today

Spirituality does not need to feel mysterious or intimidating. I explain what I receive in clear, everyday language and encourage honest conversation.

I approach this work responsibly and respect personal boundaries. You remain in control of your choices before, during and after every session.
