My Journey: How I Became Gigi the Healer

My name is Virginia Lee Watts, though many people know me as Gigi the Healer.

But becoming Gigi the Healer wasn’t something I planned. It was something I discovered.

For much of my life, I carried experiences that I didn’t fully understand. I grew up in a toxic and violent household, and like many people who experience trauma, I carried those patterns with me into adulthood. I struggled with anxiety, depression, emotional pain, and the feeling that there had to be more to life than simply surviving what I had been through.

Then something happened that changed the direction of my life.

The Awakening

After undergoing surgery, I experienced what I can only describe as a profound spiritual awakening. When I came through it, one of the first things I remember feeling was:

“I’m back. Thank God I’m back.”

There was a feeling inside me that I had returned for a reason.

And then came something I didn’t understand at first.

My body began giving me sensations—tingles throughout my body that became a kind of confirmation. When I would ask a yes-or-no question and feel that sensation, I began recognizing it as a “yes.” When there was no sensation, I understood it as a “no.”

It was as though my body had become part of the conversation.

I began to realize that I wasn’t simply experiencing random sensations. Something was awakening within me.

I remember the feeling that everybody wanted to meet the healer.

And that immediately raised a question:

Who is the healer?

At the time, I didn’t have the answer.

I would eventually realize that the answer was me—but I had to walk through my own healing before I could fully understand what that meant.

Learning to Heal Myself

My spiritual awakening began a journey of self-healing that changed everything.

I had to look at the things I had carried for years—the trauma, the fear, the anxiety, the depression, the beliefs I had developed about myself and about life.

I learned that healing isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen. It’s about understanding what happened, recognizing what it taught you to believe, and deciding what you no longer want to carry.

As I healed, I began to recognize that many of the things I had experienced weren’t weaknesses.

They were also part of what would eventually allow me to understand other people on a much deeper level.

I learned to listen differently—to myself, to my intuition, and to what I felt spiritually.

Discovering My Gifts

My abilities began revealing themselves in ways I couldn’t ignore.

One of the first experiences that really opened my eyes happened in the shower. I sensed and saw a spirit in the area, and I began realizing that I could perceive things that weren’t visible to everyone around me.

From there, my abilities continued to develop.

I began experiencing claircognizance, clairsentience, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and telepathy. I learned that I could receive information in different ways—sometimes through knowing, sometimes through feeling, sometimes through seeing or hearing.

I also began learning the difference between information that was coming from my own thoughts and information that seemed to come through me.

My third eye opened, and my connection to my guides, divine team, angels, loved ones, and the spiritual realm continued to deepen.

But I didn’t simply want to experience these gifts.

I wanted to understand them.

And more importantly, I wanted to learn how to use them in a way that could genuinely help people.

From My Healing to Helping Others

As my own healing continued, I began recognizing patterns in other people.

I could sense where someone was hurting. I could see how experiences, beliefs, emotions, and unresolved pain could affect the way someone moved through life.

Tarot and intuitive readings became another way for me to receive and interpret information. Mediumship allowed me to connect with loved ones and bring messages of comfort and clarity.

Energy healing became an even deeper part of my work.

I began combining what I was learning about energy, intuition, trauma, the subconscious mind, and healing. My training in NLP gave me additional tools for helping people recognize and reframe limiting beliefs and patterns.

Over time, I realized that I wasn’t meant to put my gifts into one little box.

I was meant to use them together.

Becoming Gigi the Healer

Over the years, I developed my own approach to energy healing—one that is deeply intuitive and guided by what I am shown during each individual session.

No two people are exactly alike, so no two sessions are exactly alike.

I may see something in someone’s energy, feel something within their soul, receive information intuitively, recognize a subconscious pattern, or be guided toward something completely unexpected.

I don’t walk into a session knowing exactly what is going to happen.

I allow the session to unfold.

I use the gifts and tools I’ve developed throughout my own journey to help people identify what may be keeping them stuck, understand what they are carrying, and begin releasing what no longer belongs to them.

And perhaps the most important thing I bring into my work is understanding.

Because I know what it feels like.

I know what it feels like to hurt.

I know what it feels like to feel lost.

I know what it feels like to struggle with anxiety and depression.

I know what it feels like to carry pain from your past into your present.

And I know what it feels like to begin finding your way out.

My own pain became part of my purpose.

The things I once wished I could erase from my story became some of the very experiences that taught me how to help others.

My Mission

My mission is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can feel seen, heard, understood, and supported on your healing journey.

I believe you are not broken. Sometimes life, trauma, fear, and painful experiences can bury the person we truly are beneath layers we’ve learned to carry.

Through intuitive guidance, energy healing, mediumship, and life coaching, my purpose is to help you reconnect with yourself, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and discover the strength and wisdom that already live within you.

I don’t believe I am here to tell you who to be or how to live your life.

I am here to help you remember who you are.

Why I Do This Work

I don’t believe people are broken.

I believe that sometimes we become buried underneath experiences, beliefs, trauma, fear, and pain—and we forget who we were underneath it all.

My role is not to tell you who you are.

It is to help you reconnect with the part of yourself that may have gotten lost along the way.

That is how Virginia became Gigi.

That is how the healer I was searching for became the healer I discovered within myself.

And that is why today, I am Gigi the Healer
