Medium and healer offers to help people find themselves, By Laurie Gordon Dale Orlando is a psychic medium and intuitive healer. A resident of Stillwater, Orlando said she has been clairvoyant her whole life. She grew up in River Edge and attended River Dell High School. She had a long career in the wholesale travel industry as a sales representative for major travel companies on the East Coast. In 1993, she began to cultivate her psychic abilities and studying to become a Reiki Master. In 1996, she studied with a Cherokee Mystic in Sedona, Ariz., and was given the name Goldenfeather. Orlando’s studies continued at the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment as she became a Certified Therapeutic Energy Healer. In describing her work, she said she assists people on their journey toward their soul contract — the reason for this lifetime. Orlando, who is a regular at Johnny Angel, a shop in Lafayette that offers psychic readings and other services, said there is a human “energy field” that contains information to heal a person in mind, body and spirit. “When people neglect their spiritual life and there is disregard for the divine, they shut themselves off to their own highest good,” Orlando said. “Mankind will never achieve happiness or fulfillment in the material world. This can only be achieved through spirit.” Orlando said, “People today are open and receptive to the voice of spirit and the work I provide. As we watch the failing economy, fractured tectonic plates, and hatred among our brothers does anyone ask why or how? Do we blame others? Or do we look within ourselves for our own answers?” Through energy work, intuitive healing and readings Orlando said she helps people discover their own truth and stay aligned and balanced. “Be nice to your neighbor,” she said. “You may need his help sooner than you realize.” For information visit www.goldenfeatherhealing.com or call 862-268-4881.
