What does intuition and skincare have in common?

More than you might think.

Did you know that alongside running our sustainable skincare brand, our founder Danielle Close is also a fifth-generation professional Psychic Medium?

Not sure what that means? Let us explain.

What Is Psychic Mediumship?

Psychic Mediumship is essentially made up of two parts: psychic ability and mediumship.

The Psychic is all about reading energy. It helps uncover what’s happened, where you’ve been, and where you’re going. A psychic reading can reveal parts of yourself you may have hidden away and gently help remove energetic blocks by bringing awareness to them and letting them go.

All of the “future-predicting” elements fall under the psychic side. While some people imagine crystal balls, tarot cards, or smoke and mirrors, when done correctly it’s simply like talking to a friend who knows you really well.

Mediumship is about connecting with those on the “other side,” however you believe that to be. Whether that’s heaven, another realm, or - as Danielle believes - working with space and time, which is not quite as it seems. The reader acts as a phone line, bringing messages and guidance from ancestors, family members, guides, and even pets, both with us and beyond.

What Does a Professional Psychic Medium Do?

Psychic Mediumship is nothing to be afraid of. Think of it as guidance and reassurance. People often seek a reading when they’re feeling lost, need clarity, or simply want to check in with where they’re at in life.

We know it may sound a little “out there,” but psychic mediumship has been practiced since the dawn of time - it’s just had many different names along the way. Like any profession, there is stigma, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Due diligence matters. You wouldn’t visit a massage therapist or hairdresser without checking reviews, and the same applies here.

Some top tips for finding a legitimate reader:

• Look for reviews from credible sources (Google, etc.)
• Ensure they’ve trained with a reputable institution, such as The College of Psychic Studies
• Ask around — word of mouth is invaluable
• Watch out for ego. If you sense even a hint of it, they’re probably not the right reader

How to Prepare for a Psychic Reading

You don’t need to prepare much - just come with an open mind. Make sure you have space either side of your appointment to decompress, and take notes or ask your reader to record the session.

Your reading often continues to unfold after the session ends, so revisiting your notes or recording can be incredibly helpful. You may notice insights later that you missed or didn’t fully understand at the time.

Meet Danielle Close, Professional Psychic Medium

From the age of five, Danielle knew, felt, and sensed things that weren’t considered the norm. With little understanding of intuition, her childhood and teenage years were often marked by fear and confusion.

After a very stressful period working in the beauty industry in London, she discovered The College of Psychic Studies. Danielle went on to train there for seven years, honing and developing her abilities to a world-renowned standard.

In a world of WitchTok, online tarot readings, and general “woo-woo,” Danielle takes her practice seriously. She specialises in direct, grounded readings that get straight to the point. Backed by years of training, she guides clients in a way that is constructive, practical, and useful in everyday life. No crystal balls, no spells, and no fluff.

With a waitlist of over a year, Danielle works with clients both online and in person (at her studio in Brighton) from around the world and has collaborated with brands such as Givenchy.

In terms of building of building our sustainable skincare brand, My Skin Feels, here's the coolest thing. Listening to your intuition can help in business too and it has been invaluable to our growth. From securing investment listening to our gut and going for opportunities that just feel feel right. 

Long gone are the stigmas of psychic mediums being hermits, hidden away from society bring on intuitive business leaders making real changes in the world.

“It teaches you to trust your instincts and understand people and their choices beyond the surface,” Danielle explains. “Every decision we make at My Skin Feels is guided by intuition as much as logic. It’s been instrumental in shaping the brand, securing investment, and working with the right people.” - Danielle Close (Founder: My Skin Feels)
