How do healers do what they do? And what compels them into this vocation? For this article, Hayley Lowe was interviewed by a client about the moments leading up to the discovery of her gift and how a self-confessed non-spiritual person stepped out of the ordinary and opened up to intuitive healing.
There is a saying that the two greatest days of your life are the day you were born, and the day you discover your purpose. For Hayley Lowe, both the day she discovered her purpose and the purpose itself were so radically unexpected.
Until 2010, Hayley did not consider herself a spiritual person. She had visited a psychic about ten years earlier but that realm wasn’t something she thought much about or gave a great deal of kudos to.
Running a successful, and very busy, mainstream business while raising a beautiful family including a new baby, Hayley was hit with a debilitating post-natal depression. This painful new state ultimately set her upon a journey of self-discovery to heal old wounds.
Hayley says working with Spiritual Practitioners allowed her to take a look in the mirror and get to know her authentic self more closely. This process, although difficult, was what eventually led Hayley to be so open to her next chapter.
How Hayley Knew
There were no strange encounters with ghosts or bright lights calling from above her bed. Hayley’s discovery was more an inner awakening led by her own intuition.
At a business networking event, Hayley was seated next to a woman she’d never met. All of a sudden Hayley felt compelled to say to the woman, “I don’t know what it is that you do, but I know I need to come and see you.”
Hayley recalls the exchange as bizarre. Booking and showing up to an appointment she knew nothing about was something she wouldn’t normally do.
The woman turned out to be an Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner (also known as Tapping or EFT), which helps clients clear emotional blocks stored in the body through the process of tapping acupressure points.
Hayley says following the treatment, she told the practitioner that she had a very strong and unfamiliar feeling – a knowing - that she needed to heal spirits. “I felt stupid telling her that,” says Hayley, “because I had no idea what it meant. Spirituality wasn’t a thing for me.”
The practitioner suggested Hayley meet with her friend – an experienced medium who immediately tuned in to Hayley and finally said out loud what Hayley had begun to know intuitively, “You’re clairvoyant.”
Hayley, then went on a journey to develop her gifts and intuition.
Tuning into clients
Intuitive gifts are generally attached to one or more of the five senses. There is clairvoyance – where you experience visions from spirit; clairsentience (feeling/touching), clairaudience (hearing/listening), clairolfactus (smelling), claircognisance (knowing) and clairgustance (tasting).
Hayley’s abilities are largely driven by a healing focus and she receives messages in a clairvoyant, claircognisant and clairsentience.
This means that Hayley’s spiritual guides communicate via visions, knowing, and feeling - all of which allow her to experience the challenges of the person she is tuned into, and deliver messages that will help them heal.
“I see images and people in my mind’s eye, I feel - feel their aches, pains and emotions, my Guides lead the way and I can't remember a lot of what I've said afterwards,” says Hayley.
“The words just come out - like I'm channeling but my voice doesn't change. I have a team of master guides than I work with for healing.”
While the journey and the realisation were unexpected, Hayley sees her new path and the pain that got her there as a true gift.

Adding Art to the Journey!
For Hayley Lowe, art has always been a companion on her life’s winding path. From her earliest years, colour and creativity captivated her. While other children played with dolls, Hayley could always be found clutching her felt tips and colouring pencils, filling blank pages with vibrant energy.
Art continued to call to her throughout school, but an art teacher’s harsh words — “You can’t draw” — shook her confidence to its core. Devastated, she distanced herself from hands-on art and redirected her creative spirit elsewhere.
Unable to ignore the magnetic pull of creativity, Hayley found herself drawn to digital art and design, leading her to study Graphic Design. It was here that her natural eye for colour and composition flourished. Over the years, her skills carried her across the globe, where she worked on high-stakes presentations for world leaders and corporate giants, including Prince Charles, HSBC, Orange, Knorr, and British Telecom.
Upon returning to New Zealand, Hayley channelled her passion into building her own business, Lime-Red Design. The agency became a roaring success, operating for over 11 years and making a meaningful impact by supporting local charities and creating community-focused websites.
Yet, when spirituality came knocking in 2014, it brought with it a pull far stronger than any she’d felt before. Selling her thriving business to pursue intuitive healing seemed, to many, a leap into the unknown — perhaps even “nuts”. But Hayley knew it was a step she had to take.
While her spiritual journey flourished, art remained in the background, occasionally surfacing but never quite taking centre stage. That is, until 2024, when Hayley discovered the Milan Art Institute and reignited her passion for creating art. Now, she is diving headfirst into her artistic evolution — learning, experimenting, and reconnecting with the expressive power of visual storytelling.
From sceptic to spiritual healer, from business leader to emerging artist, Hayley’s story is a testament to the magic of following life’s nudges. As she blends her intuitive gifts with her rediscovered love of art, Hayley invites us to watch this space — a canvas for new beginnings and unspoken dreams.
