Meet Yaila Weddle | Intuitive Teacher & Healer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Yaila Weddle and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yaila, how does your business help the community?
There are layers to how my business impacts the community and hopefully the world. I’ve come to realize we can’t help the world if we feel lost, broken, or a shell of ourselves. So the first layer of support is at the individual level.

Clients come to me when they are ready to clear beliefs and other energies that keep them stuck in various areas of their life. They are able to release physical and emotional memories (trauma) that is stored in their body. Through private or group Heart Radiance and KALI (Kundalini Activation Light Integration) Sessions my clients are able to somatically release this stagnent energy from their body. When we no longer carry the burden of past trauma and beliefs we are able to align with those people, places and things that bring us more joy and success in the areas if our lives we’ve always wanted to achieve. We learn to trust our intuition more and find things just fall into place in our every day life. Our relationships with ourselves and others are more harmonious, we feel more comfortable in our skin, speaking our truth, share more of our unique talents with the world, and so much more.

Another aspect of my business is teaching my clients and students how to strengthen their clairsenses; clairvoyance- clear seeing, clairaudience- clear hearing, clairsentience- clear feeling, and claircognizance- clear knowing. These are natural intuitive insights we are all born with, but usually haven’t learned how to trust and utilize them. The Energy Work classes I teach help my students understand their energy as well as how to stay more present and open to their clairsenses. They are able to have proper discernment for themselves, in their careers, with their families, and most importantly how they can support their community. When people understand energy (which is apart of all things everyday) they make more aligned decisions, manifest quicker, heal old wounds for themselves, and have grace for others along their journey.

Supporting people at this individual level first helps to create solid foundations of love and personal empowerment, so they can extend that healed version of themselves with their families, friends and community. Ultimately we are the ripple effect for the world. When we step into all of who we are and can be, we will be that light and support for our communities and the world. It all starts with us.

The next level that’s in the works in my business supporting the community is The144K.co. It is a collective of Energy Healers and Lighworkers. A place where we can find each other, our clients can learn about the work we do, how to work with us and most importantly a community where we can also feel supported back. So many people up to this point, myself included, have been trying to figure it all out on their own. The 144K.co is here to create a supportive community for Energy Healers and Lightworkers so they can thrive and share their work with the world. Stay tuned for the new podcast; The Lightworker’s Journey introducing you to some amazing Energy Healers and Lightworkers and the beautiful work they do for their communities.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
One of my strengths as an Intuitive is I see people’s light and I am here to help them share their light with the world so others can see it too. What happens for most people is they have a hard time seeing their own light. They question their self worth and they assume they aren’t good enough in some way, shape, or form, for some reason or another, to achieve what they would like.

In my business I offer several modalities to help students and clients see and know themselves as the Divine incredible people they are. I offer personal Energy Readings and Healings that encompass various energy tools and methods I’ve learned and practiced for over 10 years. The modalities include Theta Healing which works on subconscious beliefs, intuitive guidance from their higher self and guides, energy clearing and protection, and practical next steps to implement right away.

I also teach people energy tools so they know how to work with energy themselves. The energy tools help my students increase their intuition and clairsenses, as well as how to maintain extraordinary energy hygiene, and practice appropriate psychic manners.

The best way I can describe energy tools is they are similar to weights in the gym. Just like you already have your muscles, you already have all of the clairsenses. How you develop your muscles is by using weights and various exercises to build them bigger and stronger. Same with the energy tools. The more you learn about them and consistently practice them, the stronger more developed and connected to your clairsenses you’ll be. The students who come to me have learned the energy tools to use for themselves, within their various careers, or to build their own energy reading and healing business. The tools are very practical for everyday life. I am a teacher at heart and I love, love, love teaching people about how they can use energy tools in their own lives.

One of the newest modalities to my arsenal of energy work is KALI (Kundalini Activation Light Integration) and Heart Radiance Healing. The easiest way I can describe it, is Reiki on steroids. It goes beyond cognitive (mind-based) therapy and helps people heal on a deep somatic (body-based) level. During a Heart Radiance session, a facilitator works with Kundalini Energy, Heart Radiance Energy, light, the power of sound, and vibratory resonance to guide you on a transformative inner journey.
The goal of Heart Radiance KALI is to help you somatically release emotions that are no longer serving you, move beyond layers of fear and pain, and heal deep-rooted blocks. I hold group, private/semi-private and virtual sessions. Actually, I just wrapped up a KALI Retreat up in Mt. Shasta with the Founder of KALI, Minh, and a couple other incredible KALI Facilitators. I really enjoy co-facilitating with other practitioners, and most of my group sessions as of late are with other facilitators around the San Diego and north county areas.

It can take up to 3 sessions within a couple weeks together to fully relax and surrender to your own flow of energy and feel your kundalini activate. It definitely is a practice of surrender. Which can be very tricky for many people who feel the need to be in control all the time. I know it was hard for me to get out of my head and let the intelligence of my own life force energy shake out all of the stagnant energy stored on my body. But once I did, so many things shifted for me and FAST! It also just helped me not be bothered by dumb stuff that happens on a daily basis in life. You feel more in flow with everything, your body feels great, and things around you seem to magically line up. All you have to do is show up, lay there, remember to relax and breathe and let us facilitators channel the energy through. It’s crazy when you clear your energy in your mind, body and spirit how quickly your world around you shifts.

When I look back on my journey as a Lightworker/ Energy Healer I can’t imagine doing anything else. Even though up until 15ish years ago, it wasn’t even a consideration. It hasn’t been an easy journey. Most healers I know did not have easy upbringings. We all have a story, mine is flavored with family substance abuse, suicide of a parent, physical and emotional abuse, lack of self worth, sometimes being in the parent role as a child, not feeling like I ever belonged or fit in. I’m not going to start on romantic partners. You get the idea. It feels like another lifetime. Everyone was doing the best they could with the level they were at. What I will say is the journey is worth it. It’s been a series of shedding old layers of my past self and versions of me that I thought would be acceptable enough for the world. It took looking at how I was showing up to myself and others and being honest if that aligned to my heart. As I let all of that go and connect to my heart and truth it mattered less and less if others accepted me. I finally found home in my own self. I wouldn’t change anything now. I am better at what I do because of my story.

My background was in nutrition and preventative medicine. I worked as a health coach for many years. While I felt passionate about that for a while, I soon felt stagnant in my job and my personal life. I started to feel burned out and uninspired about life in general. I felt there was more, I just didn’t know what that more was. And I was curious why some people had success reaching their health goals while others really struggled no matter how dire their situation was. I was curious about what was that missing piece to having success.

Energy work actually fell into my lap. I was invited to explore it. It wasn’t on my radar. In fact I thought people who do what I do now, where born special or had some crazy life or death experience that opened up their gifts. I did not see myself as that special nor did I have any death experience. I was actually having not only frustration in my career, but also something wasn’t adding up in the relationship I was in at the time. My gut was telling me things were off, but my mind was talking me out of it. By chance I went for a reading from a Medium up in Julian with a friend of mine. She wasn’t really into “woo-woo” stuff, but really liked the reading she had from this Medium. So I went to see what it was all about.

At the beginning of the reading the Medium had me pick a crystal from a box of many and hold it in my hand while I had my reading with her. During our session I asked about my career, life purpose, next steps and of course relationship things. The Medium confirmed all of my gut feelings without me giving any more than the guy’s name. I was sad but a little relieved to hear her confirm all of my feelings, because it made me feel less crazy. Your mind and other people can really cause you to mistrust yourself for their own needs.

Wrapping up the last few minutes of our session, the Medium took her crystal back that apparently I had been infusing my energy into during our session. She studied the amethyst and said, “It’s showing me that you have these gifts.” Puzzled I asked what she meant. She continued, “Well like what I’m doing with you here, you have these gifts if you want to open them up.”

Shocked I said back, “I DO?”

She nodded.

Next I asked the obvious, “How do I open them up?”

And the rest of the story entails the universe showing me how everything was lined up, waiting for me to be curious enough to get out of my rut. The Medium mentioned (to my surprise as well) that I could take classes. I had no idea people taught those types of classes, but sure enough I did some quick research and found a couple resources. I started taking one class after another. When I learned my first grounding meditation at Intuitive Insights I felt like myself again. I didn’t know anything about energy hygiene up until that point. Working as a health coach at the time I unknowingly was taking on all of my client’s energy (15-20 clients/day 5 days a week). No wonder why I was burned out.

Learning my first grounding mediation changed the direction of my life forever. It was the first time I learned how to clear my aura space of other energies and call back all of my energy I gave away. For the first time in years I felt instantly more clear, energized and like myself again.

Through the years I took many classes; women’s intuition, psychic tools, cord cutting, 6 month clairvoyant program (and re-took it a few times), how to do house and business healings, energy readings and healings, past lives, tarot… You name it, I tried to learn it. I loved how I felt. I loved offering readings. I started to noticed when I would give other students readings they would take notes or ask to record our reading. They would come back and share how much our reading helped. It felt good to work with people who were excited to work with me and on themselves. I felt I was not only learning energy tools, but I was learning how to heal myself as well. I saw improvements in my life. I wanted everyone to know that these classes existed. Even if they just learned basic energy hygiene, they would feel so much better and like more of themselves.

After a couple of years I started offering personal readings along with health coaching, then I was asked to teach at my school. I eventually left working as a health coach to focus on my business full time. Doing energy readings was fun, but teaching the tools to my students, now THAT was what really lit me up. I haven’t looked back since. To this day I do both, and now I’ve added the group KALI sessions. That grounding meditation I talked about I offer for free on my YouTube Channel and website. If you were to learn one thing and practice it daily you would have all you need with that meditation.

Speaking of YouTube on my channel you can find not only a couple meditations, but also daily intuitive oracle card readings and the monthly energy update I film with 2 of my friends/colleagues.

I was and still am able to overcome any challenge that comes my way through energy work and energy healing tools.

Everything is energy. There is a law here on Earth; the fact that you have a physical body you call the shots as far as which energies are allowed in your space or not. Nothing else has a say over your energy or body than you. Please never forget that.

If I could leave you with one last thing it’s that we all have clairsenses. We all can develop and strengthen them. You just have to be consistent and put in the work daily to clear your energetic space and be intentional where and on what you focus your energy towards. Whatever you do, will manifest. So by all means send it to what you actually want. And if you ever feel stuck, come to a KALI session or schedule an Energy Reading & Healing.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
San Diego is such a fun city. There are so many great places to go. If my bestie were to visit for a week we would visit Coronado Beach, Wind and Sea and maybe even Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. Those are my favorite beaches. I would probably take her on a hike up Iron Mountain or Cowel’s Mountain, maybe even Torrey Pines. Those views are some of the best. On a Saturday I would put our name on the waitlist at Morning Glory so we could have their soufflé pancakes, and during our ungodly wait we can check out the Farmer’s Market in Little Italy until our table was ready.

Maybe go see a fun show at the Belly Up, The Observatory or the Shell. We of course would have to go to a KALI session at one of my favorite yoga spots Peir to Point Wellness, South Park Yoga or Wellness or MBDY + Be. Perhaps grab a beer and a bite at Gravity Heights, or a nice steak at Cowboy Star. I love to try new restaurants and places to eat. But I also live in Kensington, and just love being able to walk to some fun places like Ponce’s or Village Vino. Finally, a trip wouldn’t be complete unless we went to Balboa Park. It’s still one of my go to places when I just want to relax outside.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Huge shoutout to one my mentors Minh Clare founder of Heart Radiance Kundalini Activation Light Integration (KALI). As well as all of the fantastic heart centered KALI Radiance community who are family now.

Another big shoutout to my clairvoyant teacher, mentor and adoptive family Kathleen Kelly and the school’s director Vessa Rinehart-Phillips, another mentor for me from Intuitive Insights School of Intuition. Shoutout to my ladies Corey and Peyton who I met at Intuitive Insights and we now have our Monthly Energy Update videos we share on YouTube. As well as all of my former amazing students and colleagues I shared class with.

I will always be a life long student, learning something, but these two groups especially have drastically shaped my self development in the energy healing world, who I am as a teacher and facilitator, as well as provided me with the energy tools I’ve come to love sharing with the world.
