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

Hi Katelyn, what makes you happy? Why?
What makes me happy is being able to connect others to their passed loved ones again and validate they are still with them! Teaching my clients how to see the signs, communicate, and open their eyes to how Spirit and our ancestors are around us. As a Psychic Medium, I feel very humbled to be able to channel and express what I am seeing/hearing/feeling from the client’s passed loved ones in sessions. The emotions are real and raw and are truly life changing. The meaning behind my business name, Soulful Expressions, is to relate to me channeling and expressing their passed loved ones Souls. When communicating with them they don’t just share their messages or facts about themselves, their passed loved ones are also sharing their Soul and Spirit with me. I wanted the name of my business to reflect that Soul connection. Our passed loved ones and ancestors still have feelings and can still express the full range of emotions- and often times that is what their messages are about. Trying to express their own feelings, or that they know how you feel, or sometimes what has occurred since their passing. They express their personalities and the true essence of their Soul. It makes me happy to be able to connect people to the “unseen” and to help them validate that their loved ones are still with them! I am happy to provide a safe and healing space to be able to have people connect to their loved ones again. It brings me joy to heal others and teach them how to connect to their own ancestors too. Teaching them how to do it in their own everyday life so they can feel their loved ones around them more. Our ancestors and passed loved ones are all around and want to communicate. Those relationships are still there and can still grow. Working with my own ancestors and communicating with them has changed my life personally and professionally. It makes me so happy to be able to use my channeling gifts to help others change their lives too. I have seen Spirit change lives in the most amazing and healing ways for my clients! It makes me happy to help heal other’s Souls, the living and the dead. There is healing on both ends in my sessions- for the client and the passed loved ones giving the messages. It is a beautiful thing when we realize there is more to life, and death does not truly separate us from our loved ones! It makes me happy to be able to open and deepen that connection for my clients in my sessions.

What should our readers know about your business?
Since I was young I have always known I could communicate with Spirit and those who have passed away but I never honored those gifts. I didn’t always know how to use them or to channel the energy to interpret the messages I was receiving. I had been communicating with my own four grandparents who are passed away – seeing and interpreting the signs they were sending me- but did not realize I could channel for others. As my connections and relationships deepened with them, so did my gifts- and I soon began reading for others. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Child, Adult, and Family Services, back in 2016, from Iowa State University. Now I currently am enrolled in my Master’s program. I have a few semesters left and will graduate with a Master’s in Family and Consumer Sciences with an emphasis in Youth Development. Healing and helping others has always been a passion of mine. Helping others express and process their pain, grief, anger, depression, or more difficult emotions. So in 2016 after graduation and certain life events that challenged my own emotions I found myself turning to guidance from my ancestors again. I wanted to learn more about psychology, spirituality, and astrology. I spent the next few years learning to read tarot cards, working with mentors/coaches/readers, and learning about my gifts. I started doing readings for friends, family, and others here or there – channeling and working on using my gifts. After a while I decided it was time to trust Spirit fully and combine my skills to help others heal in a different way. In 2021 I took a leap of faith and left my “9-5” job in human services and started this business. As a psychic medium, I feel very humbled to be the interpreter and express what I am seeing/hearing/feeling from the client’s passed loved ones. The emotions are real and raw. My psychic mediumship channeling abilities and my literal education are meant to provide a healing space to help others manage and process just that- the real and raw emotions. I offer one on one mediumship sessions, over video chat, to channel your passed loved ones. I also offer Psychic Guidance sessions and read tarot cards to answer any questions about life, love, careers, etc. It makes me excited to connect others to their passed loved ones. I have learned a lot of lessons along the way, but the biggest one is that our passed loved ones and ancestors really do want to communicate with us!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Of course my ancestors deserve the biggest shout out! My paternal and maternal grandparents are passed and are my biggest sources of love, inspiration, and guidance. They are with me every step of the way and were my first connections to channeling Spirit. Without them, I would not have had the faith to open my business. They are involved in all my business decisions and truly show me first hand how our loved ones are right there still with us after death. Channeling and interpreting their signs are what led me to discovering my gifts and abilities. My four grandparents are my biggest guides but I also would like to credit all my honorable ancestors. They truly are with me always and have led me to share my gifts with others to connect them to their own passed loved ones. My business would not be possible without Spirit or my ancestor’s help.
