Tapping into Intuition, Recognizing Miracles

By Leave a Comment

Highly intuitive people like Hathcock say miracles happen all around us.

Have you ever thanked your “lucky stars” for something going your way, or thought, “What a coincidence!” when an expert showed up with the information or equipment you needed at that moment? Perhaps you simply have remarked, “That was a miracle!”

I like to think of these instances as actual miracles, wonderful things that happen to us that we really wanted to have happen, or situations and events that turned out better than we could have imagined.

Author, children’s furniture maker and psychic detective Kiersten Hathcock says her intuition has become a roadmap for her life and, I would add, it can lead us to good things, like miracles. Aside from hard work and perseverance, I commonly hear businesspeople attributing their success to a feeling or a hunch that they acted upon.

Hathcock’s extraordinary last decade or so has been all about following her intuition. In 2011, she was living in Los Angeles with her husband, Scott, and their two children. She wanted to find a toy box that would match their mid-century modern furniture and something fun their kids would use. She couldn’t find what she was looking for, but something inside told her she could build it herself.

At the time, Hathcock was not a carpenter. Nevertheless, she bought a circular saw anyway, watched demonstrations online and turned her garage into a woodshop. She became so good at making children’s furniture, celebrities like Matthew McConaughey and Christina Applegate ordered custom toy boxes for their kids. By following her intuition, or calling, Hathcock was unknowingly deepening her intuitive abilities. As she says, “Learning to use your intuition is like training a muscle.”

Miraculously, as she was covered in sawdust and coaxing pieces of wood into furniture for little ones, the spirits of children began visiting her. Upon investigation, she learned these were deceased children who had been murdered and often sexually abused. She would see them, hear their voices and feel their touch. Sometimes they would communicate to her through a sensation – a tug on her ponytail might mean to keep looking for a clue; pressure on her throat could indicate strangulation.

In this way, Hathcock began volunteering to help detectives solve cold cases and bring closure to families. In many cases, Hathcock’s connections would provide comfort to grieving parents with messages of assurance and love. What a miracle.

Today, while designing little tables, chairs and toy boxes for her Mod Mom Furniture company, volunteering as an intuitive medium and working with law enforcement officers to help unravel long unsolved mysteries, Hathcock also teaches young people and adults tips to help them tune into their own intuition.

Here are three:

  1. Pay attention to where your mind goes while your body is doing something that is familiar to you, like driving a car, taking a shower or sanding wood. “Think back to some of your best ideas and what you were doing when they showed up,” she said. “I’ve found that when you’re doing something with your physical body, like taking a walk in the ponderosa pine forest, it helps you get into a state of mind that is conducive to receiving intuitive guidance. Simply knowing this will help you recognize what your intuition is telling you while you’re just moving about your life.”
  2. Ask for guidance through dreams. “Your sleep state is a closer vibration to your ‘guides’ spirits or your subconscious higher self,” she said. And I’m so glad she points this out because I know that when I am wrestling with a decision or trying to solve a difficult or complicated problem, I will commonly have a very vivid and symbolic dream. When I wake up, I’ll be amused of course, but also completely astonished by the new clarity and sometimes will say out loud to the universe, “Got it. Thank you.”
  3. Become aware of your body’s intuitive signals. “When I was awakening to my intuitive skills, I felt more sensations and emotions than I initially saw or heard,” said Hathcock. “Chills were, and still are, a very strong intuitive signal for me. Mainly, they alert me to the truth.”

Kiersten Hathcock Amplifies Little Voices

Memoir captures journey of furniture maker turned medium and crime solver.

Kiersten Hathcock calls herself an ordinary mom who was making children’s furniture in her garage while her kids were in school. But most people who hear her story would likely agree, what’s happened to her in the past decade or so is anything but ordinary, as Hathcock has ventured into the world of celebrity, the paranormal and unsolved mysteries. Her book, “Little Voices: How Kids in Spirit Helped a Reluctant Medium Escape and Heal from Abuse,” is being released this month and launching her on a book tour that starts in Northern Arizona.

“I would say the book will help my furniture brand on a level that’s not measured in sales,” she said. “And I’m totally OK with that and happy about it. What I’m doing and talking about goes beyond anything I can quantify. When I speak to high school kids all over the country, almost every time, at least one student will come up afterward and say, ‘Thank you. I went through something similar and I’m struggling.’ For me, it’s about being a voice for kids and adults everywhere who can’t talk about hidden abuse they endured.”

Hathcock is talking about child abuse. “Little Voices” is a captivating memoir about her journey when suddenly, at age 36, she started seeing and hearing spirits of deceased children, some of whom were killed by predators. Her intuitive awakening led to quiet partnerships with detectives around the country as they sought her help to solve crimes.

“I wrote ‘Little Voices’ to help skeptics and domestic violence survivors open themselves to the possibility that intuition is real and can be lifesaving,” she said. “I hope that if people can use their intuitive gifts, they can heal old wounds and create the life they want to live.”

The Visits Began While Building Children’s Furniture

As Hathcock, a self-taught carpenter, was sawing and sanding pieces of wood into mid-century modern furniture, like stylish table sets and toy chests with colorful cutouts that lift so toys can be neatly tucked away, spirits of deceased children began coming into her life. It started in 2011.

“As a skeptic and believer in scientific data, I couldn’t wrap my head around what was happening. I thought maybe I’d inhaled too much polyurethane in the workshop.”

Meanwhile, she was building a solid foundation for her business, Mod Mom Furniture. Hathcock took her concept and brand to the television program “Shark Tank” and successfully made the pitch. Living in Los Angeles at the time, celebrities became her clientele. Through the program and reruns, she gained more visibility and sales. She was busy building and selling. Eventually, she began a collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and leading toddler furniture maker Little Colorado, a partnership that continues today.

But the children kept coming. Many, who had been killed by predators or had died suddenly, would communicate to her about their tragic deaths. She thought she was losing her mind until she started sharing what she was receiving with law enforcement and grieving parents who validated the messages as accurate.

“It’s incredibly emotional work, so I had to learn to step outside of myself and just record what I was seeing and hearing. I became like a doctor observing a patient and would write down what I was being told that needed to be shared,” she said.

An Undercover Medium

Hathcock became an undercover medium, volunteering to help police officers and detectives solve crimes against children. “After I’d been volunteering for about two years, visions of myself at a young age started coming to me. Because I trusted my intuition by that point, I knew to trust what I was getting.”

Long locked-out memories began to reveal themselves to her. She learned that she, too, had her own history with a pedophile, repeated assaults by a distant relative from the time she was 3 until she was 6. “The grooming started at age 3.”

Further, during a three-year split from her husband, Scott, she “fell down a deep hole,” she says, into a relationship with a narcissistic sociopath. “Unbeknownst to me, I was living with a predator.”

Hathcock believes the spirits of the children were warning her. One, named Jason, told her to “go get the restraining order now. You have to do it now.” Recalling that chaotic time, she says, “If it weren’t for the kids in spirit helping me escape the abuse, I believe I would be dead. It was unbelievably full circle to realize that the kids weren’t simply coming to me for help, they were coming to save my life.”

Retired New York City Police Department Detective Mark Pucci, who continues to work as a private investigator, has collaborated with Hathcock on cases. He says her psychic ability “literally” saved his life when she warned him that he was putting himself in “mortal danger” with individuals connected to an investigation. Clues she was able to provide him helped him recognize the scene where danger lurked and also the individual who had intended to harm him. “Without any doubt, if Kiersten hadn’t advised me of the message she had received, and the specific details it contained, I believe the outcome of that afternoon could have been very different.”

Det. Pucci says Hathcock’s involvement often leads to a unique take on an ongoing investigation. “What Kiersten’s abilities bring to the table is oftentimes a focused message, which may cause a re-examination or re-evaluation of current evidence, a fresh perspective or nuance you may have overlooked before or may also initiate the creation of a new direction entirely to explore.”

Currently, Hathcock and Detective Pucci are starting a non-profit organization, The National Institute for Law and Justice, to provide management of investigative services for crime victims and their families who are searching for answers, resolution and closure – at no cost to them.

Detective Pucci will be joining Hathcock at a book signing at 6 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 22, at Brightside Bookshop in downtown Flagstaff. “Little Voices” is published by Post Hill Press and distributed through Simon and Schuster.
