Hollee Haas Interview

It was with great interest that I booked my first psychic reading with Hollee Haas just over a year ago now.

Now I have admit to having a healthy blending of sceptism as well as curiosity when it comes to psychic phenomina. So to test Hollee out I was deliberately cagey during the reading...

I was pleasantly surprised when she revealed things to me about myself that I hadn't actually shared with another soul!

If that has grabbed your attention, you should most definitely keep reading...

The Interview.

Damien Senn: Hi Hollee, thank you for offering to share you insights, wisdom and experiences...

Hollee Haas:
Thanks for the opportunity to share my insights Damien!

Damien Senn: When did you first become aware of the fact that you were psychically gifted?

Hollee Haas:


As early as I can remember, I’ve had intuitive experiences. I would get feelings and visions of something before it would happen. Interestingly though, I thought everyone had these experiences. It was as normal to me as my five other senses. I think many children have this natural ability and I was lucky enough to cultivate it and have it validated by the early psychic experiences I had growing up. I lived in New York, where nature is filled with the exquisite beauty of the changing seasons. Most of my free time was spent outside swinging from vines and being creative, discovering nature’s gifts, messages and wisdom of the animals, plants and trees. I believe nature silences the mind and for children and us alike, being a part of its serenity and harmonic vibration has similar incredible benefits for us like meditation does.


Damien Senn: Interestingly you say that you will quite often be visited by spirits in the lead up to a reading. So tell me, what has been your most interesting encounter with the spirit world so far?

Hollee Haas:


Spirits never cease to surprise me! Even I can be intrigued...

Once I was doing a consultation for a young woman who had just graduated from a university. I sensed her Mother coming through in the reading (as spirits often do) and she began to tell me how proud she is of her daughter. She told me how she appreciates all her hard work and the stories which she reads to her. Her mother then conveyed a message to me to give her daughter. It was a blessing for her to marry her boyfriend whom had just proposed to her a week earlier. The daughter released tears of joy from hearing all this! What surprised me is that her mother was not in spirit, but communicated with the same clarity and energy as a spirit does. The daughter had not heard from her Mom in over 15 years... Every day though, she would visit her mother and read to her in the hospital where she lay still in a comma hoping to some day have a chance for her daughter to feel her unconditional loving presence.

One of the personal experiences I hold close to my heart happened when I was eight years old. I was visited by the spirit of my father who was coming to say goodbye at the time of his passing. His spirit came to me in my bedroom he looked happy, clear and luminous as he spoke to me with his words of wisdom and told me it was his time to go. It was at that moment I understood the full depth of life and death and the thin veil that separates our physical reality. We are all energy, vibrating at different frequencies and their love transcends time and space as we know it. Energy connects all of us and every one of us is protected by angels and spirits.

There is no mistake you are here today. No matter what circumstances have come your way to shape your life and who you are, you are being guided. Your life has a deeper purpose and a meaning which once found holds your true unique gifts to share to the world.


Damien: What exactly is a premonition and do you receive them often?

Hollee Haas:


A premonition is an instinctive knowing, or warning about a future event The premonitions I have are clairaudient, clairvoyant and clairsentient. I hear, see, and feel them as if I’m watching a movie. I can get a sense of someone by tapping into their energy and they can be miles away. Some clients send me photographs of people they are thinking about hiring and others want to know more about their personal lives. I receive premonitions frequently and some are related to my clients’ lives and others are globally relative. The premonition I had for 911 was very vivid, I saw details of it all happening, but unfortunately the vision I saw took place within the hour just before it occurred.

Most premonitions give more notice and usually you can ascertain information to prevent, or help a situation before it has happened. Recently I received information about a missing person in the mountains and had a premonition of where he was, giving me the date and the hour they would locate him. It’s times like these when I am truly grateful for trusting my gut.

Damien Senn: What qualities do you believe make a good psychic reader?

Hollee Haas:


First of all someone who is well grounded. A good psychic needs to delineate all the information they are receiving which can be a multi-sensory experience. Second, they need to be clear, articulate and honest. I don’t hold back. If I feel a situation may not be good for you, I’ll let you know. If I feel a client’s business is at stake because of one key person, I’ll let you know who that person is. We all have choices in life.

In today’s fast paced world, life is constantly changing, and one wrong decision can cost you millions. Without a doubt, it helps having an intuitive edge in business and in life. A good psychic can for see the possibilities for your business ventures, your personal relationships, and your overall life. They can tap into your past and equally see your future.

Damien: Your readings and business intuitive coaching are in demand not only in the United States but around the world. It seems like a bit of a strange question to ask a psychic, but is it actually more challenging to do accurate readings for people over the phone than in person?

Hollee Haas:


Actually readings over the phone are just as accurate. When I connect with a client about a situation in their life, I’m tapping into an energetic blueprint of their past, present and future. Science has shown us that we are all energy, so are your thoughts and the energy you give out.

Everything that you think is a solid, your computer, your phone, your car, your money- it’s all a field of energy and a rate of vibration. It’s only the perception of distance which separates you from anything you want. The reality is energy is equally as powerful, as the frequency of your voice and emotions. When I do coaching and readings over the phone, it’s as if we are sitting in a room together. My ability to tune into you and receive psychic information comes in regardless of where in the world we may be.

Damien Senn: A big part of your work is coaching people to go after their dreams. How does being intuitively gifted put you in a unique place to guide your clients?

Hollee Haas:


Being an intuitive coach helps because I can see into my client’s future blueprint, knowing the challenges that are coming and which steps will be the most effective and rewarding ones for them to take. My coaching style is all about helping my clients take action and tap into their own magnetic attractive force to create the best possible outcome in the shortest amount of time.

What ever you want for your business, or your personal life is within reach. That is why the desire is there. If you can think it and feel it , then you can make it real. Your emotions whether conscious, or unconscious are giving out the frequency for your creative and prosperous dreams to happen.

Your mind, thoughts and actions are the bridge between what you envision and what is your reality. The most powerful force in the universe is your energy and your emotions around the things you desire. One exercise I do with my coaching clients is to simply have them close their eyes and tap into the area of their life that they feel out of balance in, or the area they most want to improve: business and money, love and relationships, or their health and self-image.
Typically clients will feel the void of what’s missing first. I help them to focus on not where they are currently, but on where they are going. I have them ask themselves, “If this is who I am becoming and what I want, then what action steps would I take right now if I were already there?”

Damien Senn: In my work I come across so many people eager to develop their intuition. Where are some good places for curious people to start to cultivate this skill?

Hollee Haas:


I just released a free mini-course “7 Steps to Unlock the Power of Your Intuition” for those eager to develop their intuitive ability. I also have an e-book available for people who want to advance to the next level in their intuitive studies. I also teach weekend workshops in manifesting and psychic development.

Meditation is one of the key ingredients in cultivating intuitive development because it helps to develop the ‘third eye’. Current research being done is revealing the link between the pineal gland and our intuitive connection. When we close our eyes in meditation and are taken on a journey, the pineal gland naturally secretes melanin. When activated, the pineal gland becomes the line of communication between form and spirit and our higher consciousness. What I find fascinating is that the gland is large in children and begins to shrink as early as around adolescence. Isn’t it interesting that many people report intuitive experiences earlier in their childhood? I believe with practice and meditation, we can create that bridge once again.

The intuitive meditation audio programs that we use in my workshops can be found on the products page at: www.dreamlifenow.net Check out the newest, “Discover Your Future Vision Technique” which will help you step into a vision of your future.

Damien Senn: Do you think good psychics are born or made?

Hollee Haas:


Definitely both. We all have the power to tap into our intuitive sense. I liken it to being an athlete who trains for a sport. I know with strength training, when you take a few weeks off, your body feels it! It’s like starting over. For me, my intuition was constantly being exercised growing up, so I believe the more you practice it, the stronger your awareness gets.

Lance Armstrong may have been gifted since birth and you could say all good psychics inherit their intuition, but ultimately it is his tenacity, drive, and his commitment to peak optimal performance that made him who he is. No amount of setbacks prevented him from being extraordinary. As you open up to your intuition, begin to start trusting your gut.. Flashes of intuition come with increasing consistency as the ‘third eye’ is activated to a greater degree, with practice.

Damien Senn: You have had the good fortune of being exposed to o many amazing teachers on your own personal development journey. Which one of your teachers has been most influential and why??

Hollee Haas:


What a great question, Damien. Of course there have been numerous great teachers, philosophers, activists, writers, prophets, healers etc who I have sought out and had the good fortune of meeting, or in sharing their vision. Even the nameless man standing on the street corner is my teacher in some way, in the way he looks, or in what he says.

Perhaps the greatest teacher of all for me is my life. My journey has been incredible. Every challenge, every turn and twist, every person I meet, I am humbled to say in some way has gifted my life and taught me deeply about lessons I needed to learn. As we evolve in these changing times and shift our focus to a higher consciousness, I am thankful for everything, especially our awakening as a global community to heal ourselves and our planet. We too create our future.

Damien Senn: Do you think anyone can live an inspired life?

Hollee Haas:


Absolutely. Begin following your heart and listen to your calling. Don’t wait for something to come along and inspire you, be inspired yourself and begin following your passions. A way will be made for you if you open up to the flow of possibilities. Dream Big.

One inspired action can change the world. Imagine that...

Don't Let Your Dreams be Dreams

Don’t Let Your Dreams be Dreams!

One of my favourite musicians is a singer songwriter called Jack Johnson (see www.jackjohnson.com).

Most of the time I know instantly whether or not I like a musician, but for some reason Jack Johnson was an acquired taste for me.

It wasn’t until I actually sat down and became present to his music that I begun to fully appreciate the sublime nature of his genius. I now absolutely love his melodies and find the social commentaries that flitter through his song writing to be both profound and seriously thought provoking.

Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

One of my favourite Jack’s Johnson songs is one called ‘Don’t let your dreams be dreams’.

On the surface level this all seems a little too obvious. I mean why would anyone want their dreams to remain dreams?

I began to explore this notion in my own life to see if I was personally resisting my dreams coming true.

Interestingly enough I discovered that there were some areas of my life where I was happy for my dreams to come true and other areas where I was uncomfortable with my dreams coming true.

What would actually happen if your dreams came true?

Through this personal examination and reflection I began to fully appreciate why most people walking the planet appear happy for their dreams to be just that, dreams.

Dreams give people to hope, a reason for living. I think most people unconsciously resist their dreams because they mistakenly believe that if they achieve their dreams this reason for living will somehow be taken away from them.

You can always find something to live for.

The actual reality of achieving a goal or dream is that it will create time and space in your life for something new and magical to enter it.

For example if you spend 6 months of your life pouring all your energy into writing a novel, when you actually finish writing that novel you will soon be left with an empty space for something new to emerge.

I am not saying that space is easy one to occupy. Often it can be more than a little daunting and uncomfortable. In fact an old musician girlfriend of mine would actually refer to experience as having the ‘after gig blues’.

The fulfilment of a dream will create a vacuum.

If you stay present to the moment, what you will notice is that the fulfilment of a dream will actually create a natural vacuum effect in your life. This vacuum will start to pull new experiences to you that are based upon your present level of vibration and alignment and will very naturally awaken new desires and dreams inside of you.

All you need to do is keep setting intentions of where you would like your life to flow to next and be fully prepared for your life to unfold in the most remarkable way.
