OMTIMES | JANUARY 2023
OMTimes: Tell us about your background and where and how medical intuition became an important focus in your life. Wendie Colter: Growing up, I had many experiences with what are known as the "clairs": clairaudience, clairvoyance, and others. Then, as I got older, I was drawn to energy healing work. In learning to be an energy healing practitioner, I noticed that my intuitive visual sense had developed.

Discover Your Body’s Wisdom with Medical Intuition Article by Wendie Colter, MCWC, CMIP “Can you take a ‘look’ at one of my patients? Nothing seems to be working.” This question was becoming more and more common. It seemed I had developed an under-the-radar reputation with some local physicians. Despite the fact that my business card said “Energy Healing Practitioner,” they increasingly contacted me for intuitive assessments only. They were not at all interested in energy healing. I eventually changed my business card to read “Medical Intuitive.”
OMTIMES | JANUARY 2023
It's when we start working together that the real healing takes place. - David Hume
Early in my career, I realized the power of the intuitive assessment for the value and level of detail it brought to these doctors. As a result, I began to develop my most valuable service – the Medical Intuitive Assessment. This efficient, streamlined method has allowed me to formalize and teach the practical application of medical intuition. Many medical intuitives use their intuition in combination with an energy healing modality. In my practice, however, I have found medical intuition to be most effective as a separate assessment used apart from energy healing. The case studies throughout this book are examples of this standalone approach. OMTIMES | JANUARY 2023
Why not combine medical intuition with energy healing skills? The answer is not complex, but it is vital. In my energy healing work, I noticed that some clients would return with the same issue over and over, unable to release it. I wondered why some had deep healing experiences during or after a session while others did not, even though I used my skills, in the same way every time. I began to offer a medical intuitive assessment before, or in place of, an energy healing session. My goal was to intuitively view the reasons why an issue had manifested in the first place and to find out why it was staying stuck. I was curious to know if this information would make a difference.
