Rural New Zealand Psychic

Lesley Hill is a popular New Zealand psychic who lives in rural Waikato on a sheep station.

Lesley Hill was raised in Auckland but when her son, Kayne, was 18 months old and leapt over a fence, she decided that it would be better to provide him with more room, rather than increase the height of the fence, so in 2000 she moved to Franklin, near Tuakau.

New Zealand psychic goes rural

“Everyone always thought I came from the country anyway,” she says. “I was always enthusiastic, straight forward, and open, and I think these traits made them think I was a rural person. Openess and friendliness seem to be universal traits amongst rural people. I was lucky and got a job with a share-milker for three months and then a house became available.”

Now 46, Lesley finds herself in the ironic position of having Kayne attend boarding school during the week by his own choice, while she has learnt to kayak, ride motorbikes, milk cows and embrace many aspects of rural living such as finding swimming holes, turning the stereo up loud, dancing outside under the full moon, entertaining outside around open fires, camping in the paddocks with kids, and growing her own food.

She grew a huge crop of pumpkins this year so will be eating pumpkin soup well past winter, and she’s training her friends to enjoy pumpkin pie.

Lesley says, “I love to cook, and having access to fruit straight from the trees has sharpened my cooking and preserving skills. I started all the cooking because I didn’t want to waste the fruit and began making weird things like plum scones. I probably know 45 different ways to prepare eels. Kayne is very good at catching them. At the moment, the possums are decimating the fruit unfortunately.”

Lesley’s psychic skills have been with her throughout her life but she didn’t realize that everyone didn’t have the same experiences as her.

 

Choosing to work as a psychic

When she lived in Sydney in 1993, she began by learning Aura Soma at a time when she claims she didn’t even know how to spell the word, spiritual. After three courses over six months, she was looking at the image of a Chinese spirit guide with her girlfriend one day, when the image morphed into the face of a woman who she described to her friend. The woman was saying things and Lesley repeated them to her friend, who was shocked that she had perfectly described her mother and she burst into tears. ” I thought, Oh, my God, I can see.”

Within six weeks she had opened a shop at Crows Nest which was a huge success, and she’s gone from strength to strength. Lesley has conducted readings in Australia, NZ, the US and the UK. Now settled back into NZ with a shop in South Auckland at Papakura (Sacred Journeys), where she conducts private psychic readings which are really metaphysical counselling sessions, she also offers private phone counselling outside of shop hours. “I am able to see possible futures and ascertain what people need to do to manifest that future and then support them through the changes.”

If it feels right, it is

“Nobody was surprised when I started along this line of work,” she says. “I’d been seeing things for years but I thought that everyone saw what I saw. We all hold the light of destiny, and as long as we listen to it, we’ll always follow the right path. If it feels right, it is – if it doesn’t feel right, then it isn’t.”

Today amongst the high country of Franklin, Lesley lives a quiet life which allows her the time to tune in to her surroundings and to recharge after expending her energy helping people to develop their full potential.

 

The land is home to a variety of lifestyles, but this might be one of the more unusual ones.
