Today we’d like to introduce you to Raquelle Newton
Hi Raquelle, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Hello beautiful soul! My name is Raquelle Newton, and I am a Spiritual Life Coach, Psychic Medium and Intuitive Energy Healer. I am committed to helping highly sensitive and empathic women develop their intuition, heal their inner child, release trauma and energetic blockages to manifest their dream life. I am an intuitive, emotional and physical empath who was born into the world with heightened sensitivities. As my mother would describe “I’m not sure why but you cried non-stop for everything. From the moment you were born there was something very different about you. I thought maybe something happened during my pregnancy, because you were unusually affected by everything. You were born sensitive to lights, sounds, emotions, pretty much everything. Then I realized that this extreme sensitivity never really left you. I realized you were my sensitive child.” For my entire life I always felt different. From the way I felt things so deeply and intensely, to the way I perceived the world. I believed in things most people didn’t. I knew I had experienced life on another planet because I felt like an alien within my human existence. I believed there was life in the stars, aliens, angels and spirits and much more than meets the eye. I had an inner knowing about other worldly things that didn’t quite make sense to me as a young child. Although, deep down I felt misunderstood. From a very young age I was experiencing supernatural phenomenon that no one else in my family understood. I would see, sense and hear spirits as they would communicate to me through dreams, signs and apparitions. This would peak into my teenage and young adulthood years. I was also experiencing heightened abilities at night. I was an avid lucid dreamer who was frequently astral projecting and receiving messages from the astral plane and spirit realm. However, due to fear and lack of understanding of my spiritual abilities I shutdown my gifts. I asked God to make it stop. My gifts would later resurface in 2011 at 21 years old.
Throughout my childhood, I was subjected to ongoing abuse, which affected the way I viewed myself. I learned to stay out the way and play it safe to avoid punishment. My father, although never officially diagnosed, has antisocial personality disorder, better known as a sociopath. He exhibited all the characteristics specifically with a need to control through manipulation and violence, a complete disregard for others and most notably the absence of empathy. My siblings and I endured nearly two decades of physical violence and abuse in several forms. My father portrayed himself as a charismatic, devoted father and loving partner for all to witness. Meanwhile, every inch of my childhood home held painful memories linked to traumatic events either witnessed or experienced.
Fast forward to 21 years old, while my peers were celebrating the turning of age by partying and drinking until the wee hours of the morning. I was mentally, emotionally, and physically deteriorating. I was knee-deep in my trauma, unknowingly carrying the role of the family scapegoat. After years of spirally from self-hate, I finally hit rock bottom. I was diagnosed with an unspecified autoimmune disorder and experiencing ongoing flare ups and constant joint pain. I was experiencing migraines every day and was in and out of hospitals. My relationships and friendships were so hollow, and I was disconnected from my authentic self. I felt completely alone.
Too often we forget in life, the smallest acts of kindness have the greatest impacts. Empathizing allows one to hold space for another, connecting on a soul level, reinforcing the universal truth of oneness. For those who are gifted with extraordinary empathy, one major lesson that you must learn is that empathy must start with yourself.
Some say suffering often leads to transformation and transformation often leads us to our highest potential. I felt like most of my life I was fighting a battle I could not win. I had accepted that I had been dealt a bad hand of cards and my sensitives were making me sponge to all these negative experiences. I would often consider that if I could just stop caring so much, stop being so sensitive that maybe I would be less affected. If feeling everything so greatly would just stop, maybe I would feel less broken. It seemed that pain and suffering were everywhere I turned. I did not want to live this nightmare of abuse and suffering any longer. I became emotionally numb. I no longer saw value in my life and fell into a deep depression. On a cold day in December 2011, I slowly walked back over to my room, took a nap and what I saw would send me on an inner quest that would change me forever.
I experienced a spiritual dream. In the dream, I was walking through clouds. There was a beautiful sunset. It was very orange, violet and pink. The colors were so vibrant. It was not like colors here on earth, it was much more beautiful. It was the most picturesque sunset I ever saw. As I was walking in the clouds, right in front of me was this brilliant white light. I remember having to squint and look away because I couldn’t stare directly into the light. I felt the presence of a thousand angels. I knew I was in the presence of God. I heard a very soft reassuring voice say, “This is not the end of your story. You will get past this. You need to get up. You will remember who you are.” I jumped up, out of my dream, crying with an inner knowing I had experienced something profound. I had connected with something far greater than myself. The words “Your story is not over. You will remember who you are” pierced over and over in my mind. I felt a love and comfort come over me like a warm ocean wave. I felt the other side and all of its light. My subconscious mind opened a portal for me to experience this oneness with a higher consciousness. Something inside of me changed that day. There was a spark. I didn’t fully understand what my next steps were, but I knew I would spend the rest of my lifetime seeking ways to connect to this beautiful energy. I instantly knew I experienced divine intervention. Prior to that dream, I had completely given up on myself and my will to live. But God had different plans for me. He never left me. He assured me with unconditional love that my life was worth living.
Why did I experience so much suffering in my human existence? Yet, peace and love existed at such a magnitude. I knew I had to change to connect to this type of energy. Was searching inward the answer? What did God mean by “You will remember who you are?” Who was I? Why did I feel like this place was home? Why did the presence of angels feel so familiar? My mind raced with a million questions.
There was a sense of needing to unravel the truth of what it truly means to be human. We are infinite souls that hold the lessons of many incarnations. Each life carrying unique lessons in which our soul chose beforehand to learn during their human experience. With each soul journey, evolving and become wiser with beautiful earth lessons to take with them back in their memories in the stars. It is with our free will, that we must chose love above all. Love in all its forms; self-love and love for one another. It is the very lessons of suffering within our earth journeys that our souls are broken wide open, allowing us to gain from it a strength unique to that adversity. A light to balance the dark. “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” An inner strength, that aligns us closer to who we are. An extension of love, light, and the entire cosmos in human form. A strength intertwined with a compassion that spreads light in every corner, so that those who enter your field, may begin to remember.
It would take almost another decade, before I would experience a deeper spiritual awakening that would align me to my life purpose. In January 2021, I traveled to New Orleans with two of my sisters as a birthday trip for my older sister. The trip forged memories in my heart, as my sisters and I bonded in ways that we hadn’t since our childhood. Our childhood trauma had taken us on very different paths. Each of us were trying to find ourselves as individuals and as mothers. For the most part, we all lived through significant trauma without ever discussing it or the effects it had on us. In New Orleans we sat in our hotel room and shared stories of the past, both good and bad. I saw through their eyes pain that was carried from years of unspoken truths. We laughed, we cried, we released. On our last day together in New Orleans, after many days of sightseeing, my sisters decided we should see a psychic medium. New Orleans is often associated with magic and spiritual healers. I was apprehensive because my mother always advised against it, often stating it in opposition to Christianity. My sisters joked, “Raquelle, what if you’re a medium? Didn’t you always see Spirits growing up?” I told them a few stories of my encounters with Spirits and laughed it off. Although, I felt my inner voice strongly urge me to go. This voice, I would later uncover as my intuition, would become my strongest gift in my human experience.
When we trust our inner voice, we connect to all that is, by tapping into the depths of our inner wisdom. Trusting your intuition will only lead you down a path that is right and true. As we uncover our higher self, we consciously and subconsciously align ourselves to remember who we are and what we came here to do. Our intuition guides us to know and sense things before the cognitive mind can step in with logic. Nurturing and developing the intuition is one our easiest ways to connect to our higher selves. The version of ourselves with infinite knowledge, here to guide us on our journey. It is the part of us that is home.
We arrived at the spiritual shop and my older sister, and I waited outside on the back porch talking about the new memories we’ve created in NOLA. It felt great to pave a new path for us, one which not linked only by trauma. My mind began to float away as my heart was pounded waiting for it to be my turn to receive my reading. My mind raced with fear-based thoughts about how the experience would turn out. “I’m so sensitive to spirits, I’m going to have a bad spirit follow me home.” “I’m going against God and my religion by seeing a psychic.” I heard the door open, and a kind woman’s voice said, “You can come in and have a seat.” I anxiously walked over in the dimly lit space, pulled out the wooden chair to sit across from my reader when she abruptly interrupted me. “You’re a healer. You have a strong intuition that comes from your grandmother. I’m not sure if you know this.” I sat down slowly in awe of her accuracy. I timidly responded back to her. “I wasn’t going to come here; I was scared but I felt that I needed to.” I went on to explain to her that I had been dreaming and seeing my grandmother’s spirit for many years. My grandmother passed from ovarian cancer when I was 3 years old, so I had no memory of her while she was living. However, I grew to know my grandmother very well in spirit. She began visiting me in the weeks after my profound spiritual dream at 21 years old. She continued visiting me for many years, offering support and guidance with situations in my waking life. My grandmother instilled me a great understanding of Spirit. I understood there was continuity of our spirits long after our passing and our ability to still connect to those we leave behind. As the reading came to an end, she offered to teach me tips on how to connect to my gifts and referring me to a metaphysical store where I purchased my first spiritual books and crystals guiding on my quest of inner knowledge. I remember experiencing this euphoric feeling of knowing I was walking a new path. I knew I awakened a part of me I once buried out of fear. The little girl in me who got emotional staring at the night sky because she knew home was the stars, the girl who could speak to spirits, the one who could feel someone’s pain in her body as if it was her own. I awakened her.
I would spend the next few years, developing spiritually, training with world renowned Intuitive energy healers, Mediums, Physics and Coaches while finding and creating community amongst other healers and highly sensitive souls.
It is our birthright as spiritual beings to heal ourselves. Albeit self-healing is not limited to those with heightened intuitive gifts. Although, many empaths and highly sensitive people will come to an existential point in their life where they must heal to move forward. They must truly love and accept themselves unconditionally to step into their divine purpose. It is one my soul missions as an Ascension Guide Light Worker and Empath, to guide those on their spiritual awakening and development journey to live a soul-aligned life. I feel called to be a part of raising the collective consciousness to aid us on our ascension journey to New Earth.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road to healing has been far from smooth! Some of my biggest challenges along the way was remembering to lean into self-acceptance and self-love. For empaths, many of us struggle with significant trauma in our childhood usually stemming from our sensitive nature. We are taught early on that we are “too emotional, too sensitive, and too weak” this creates a skewed perception of how we view ourselves. There was a sense for a long time that I needed to fix myself, mask who I was to make others comfortable. Many highly sensitive souls must heal the inadequacy core wound that creates the false inner narrative of “I am not good enough” and “I am unworthy of love.” These beliefs were ingrained within me on a soul level causing me years of self-sabotage and self-sacrificing habits. The journey of self-love truly begins when you accept yourself and all your perceived flaws. It took me to walk this journey alone to realize that I am perfect and whole. We are divine beings, the universe in human form. God created me to be different and that was something I needed to embrace, not fix. It would take rewiring my thought process, retracing the past in order purge traumas, heal energetic wounds, and let go of all limiting beliefs that no longer served me. I learned to love the woman in the mirror by first loving the little girl within me. I had to let her voice be heard and nurture her to set her free. Only then did I step into the version of me that loved myself unconditionally.
We’ve been impressed with Divine Empath Academy, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
2025 is the year of transformation in numerology. This year is all about letting go of what no longer serves us and stepping up to our calling in a big way! Think of it as a year of massive spiritual growth. It is such an exciting year for me as I step fully into my role as a Coach for highly sensitive women. After many years of healing women around the world, through several energy healing modalities I am called to step up in a big way. This year I am launching a few exciting projects all catered to my highly sensitive souls! This spring I am launching Divine Empath Academy, a 10-week course with live group coaching calls and healing community! I am most proud of this program because it offers maxium healing for emapths as we really dive into the work that needs to be done. Its all about self awareness and self healing in ways that create lifelonge healing for all involved. It’s going to be a magical experience! I also offer 1 to 1 coaching services for highly sensitive women ranging from empath coaching, inner child coaching and intuitive development coaching. What stands me apart from other coaches is that due to my natural spiritual abilities I incorporate healing services into all my coaching sessions. Every session we begin with a heart centered meditation to allow us to set an intention for the session, centering my clients and allowing us to be open to receive healing from Spirit. Many of my clients receive surprise angel messages from their loved ones and guides in our sessions! I always close out all sessions with an energy clearing guiding my clients to release any energy that no longer serves them. This is a great self-care practice for empaths and highly sensitive women who are prone to absorbing the emotions and energies of others. I believe that all highly sensitive people and empaths are healers in the own right. Healers of themselves and the world around them. Their very aura heals people around them, even if they are unaware of this. They have a higher purpose but it takes them to take responsibility for their healing, to step into their highest timeline. I want to be the safe haven for sensitive women around the world. It’s happening!
Here’s a breakdown of my 1:1 coaching services being currently offered:
Empath Coaching: This service is ideal for women who are looking for individualized support that go beyond traditional talk therapy. As a certified trauma informed life coach, I take a holistic approach to healing and supporting empaths. We delve into identifying trauma, triggers, emotional and energetic wounds, blockages, boundaries and much more which supports empaths in a much more comprehensive way than traditional therapy. This would be ideal for those who may still be hitting roadblocks despite therapy, medication and other outlets and are looking to heal the source of their issues rather than treat the symptoms.
Inner Child Coaching: This service is catered to getting to the root of current challenges that are creating repetitive cycles of depression, anxiety and other mental and emotional health issues. With this in-depth coaching session, I use my intuitive abilities along with my trauma informed coaching approach to identify areas within my client’s chakras, body or auric field that are being weighed down by past traumas. Through client analysis and evaluation may we further identify and begin to heal core wounds and balance the masculine and feminine energy which to allow clients to shift from their wounded energy into their divine energy. I take an approach that empowers clients to do the work beyond our session. My fundamental beliefs and coaching style are rooted in our ability to self-heal. Through healing the past may we then step into our divine purpose. It is recommended to purchase a bundle package for maximum healing benefits, to allowing clients build upon previous sessions and heal through several wounds.
Intuitive Development: This coaching service is ideal for clients who are looking to expand their spiritual gifts. Clients can book a session with me to gain more knowledge and understanding in application and practice of various energy healing services. I currently coach clients who are looking to develop Mediumship on any level, Chakra readings and balancing, psychic and intuitive practices. I create a sacred space for my client and I to discuss ethics and fundamentals of energy practices before diving right into practice! We are all spiritual beings with psychic abilities. If you are looking for in-depth spiritual or intuitive development to expand your gifts rapidly this is the perfect coaching session for you.
