Hailey Lowe Fennell: Psychic Medium + Mom
I first became aware of Hailey through an Instagram post by a mutual friend and something instantly told me “you need to meet this woman”. Her etheric yet approachable regal energy is palpable even through social media….and she’s even better in person! My first reading with her brought so much clarity, optimism and comfort including the news that she’ll soon be my neighbor. How’s that for the work of the universe!
Below is a beautiful Q+A with Hailey Lowe Fennell with images shot in the home she’s building on Sullivan’s Island.
Tell us about how you came into your work as a psychic medium.
I believe everyone has this ability. I didn’t come into this work because I felt chosen or different. I came into it because I was deeply interested in it. That curiosity felt persistent, almost practical, like maybe this is a thing I’m meant to pay attention to.
As a kid, I honestly thought everyone could see, hear, and know things through the spiritual resonance around them. I assumed we were all picking up on the same layers of information. Over time, I realized that while many people sense these things, not everyone follows them. I did. I kept moving toward it, asking questions, practicing, and trusting what I noticed.
Now, that’s often the advice I give others. The things you’re interested in are rarely random. They’re usually clues. In my case, that interest became a calling because I treated it like one. But I truly believe anyone who wants to develop this way of knowing can. The gift isn’t exclusive. It’s responsive.
What advice or suggestion would you give someone who wants to develop these skills for herself?
I believe this kind of connection is meant to fit inside real life. I don’t meditate for long stretches or build my days around spiritual practices. The work begins by paying attention while you’re living. I write about this on my Substack because I wanted to give people a faster, more direct way to connect in.
A strong place to start is with something that feels unclear in your life right now. Form a clear question. Choose a person who has passed or imagine a guide if no one specific comes to mind. Ask for clarity around that question, then move through your day as normal.
About 24 hours later, notice what feels clearer in any area of your life. You may not receive a direct answer, but you’ll often gain clarity somewhere else. That information shows you which guide is helping, or what needs attention before the bigger question can resolve.
Development comes from consistency, not intensity. Anyone can strengthen their intuitive awareness if they’re willing to notice and respond, even in small, steady ways.
What does your day-to-day look like as a psychic medium?
My days are a mix of structured work and mom life. I give readings, write, meet with collaborators, and spend a lot of time building bc we love, a grief wellness brand rooted in care and remembrance for people navigating loss, launching this spring.
That work comes directly from my experience as a Psychic Medium. Grief isn’t just emotional. It’s logistical, physical, and deeply human. bc we love is about supporting people through those moments with guidance, objects, and easy rituals that feel steady and considered, not overwhelming.
I’m also a mom to my two kids and we have two dogs, and right now we’re building a home on Sullivan’s Island. My husband is the builder, and I get to take on the parts I love most. I’m deeply interested in connected interiors and objects that tell a story, so a lot of my days are currently spent in the very enjoyable ether of fabrics, lighting, tile, and materials.
Day to day, my work moves between the unseen and the practical.
I sat with you in October and you shared something I couldn’t see for myself at the time, but that later came into my orbit. Can you share experiences like that?
Yes, this happens! I think connection is just as much about trust in timing as it is about clarity. When something doesn’t make sense right away, there’s power in allowing it to unfold when it’s meant to.
Of course, it’s satisfying when everything lands clearly in a reading. I love that too. But spirit often offers information that’s meant to be understood later. In that way, it becomes a deeper confirmation. A reminder that they’re present, paying attention, and moving with us beyond what we can immediately grasp.
I see it as similar to my own path. I never would have guessed I’d become a Psychic Medium when I was nine, but looking back, the signs were there again and again. The knowing came first. The understanding came later.
As a clothing designer, I talk a lot about the elevated frequencies or energy of natural fabrics. Considering what you do, how would you explain this?
I really appreciate the way you think about this, and it aligns with how I experience objects and materials in my own life. Energy and frequency are real, and fabrics absolutely carry them.
In psychic mediumship, we’d call this psychometry, sensing information through an object. It’s a common way mediums connect in. But it’s also a great example of how intuitive we all are. We feel things physically first.
We all know the difference between our favorite sweatpants and the pair we only wear when everything else is in the wash. Our bodies recognize what feels supportive, familiar, and good to be in.
I notice this with the pieces I reach for most, like my Vincent James sweater. Certain fabrics feel grounding and connective in a way that’s hard to explain but easy to feel. What we wear becomes part of how we move through the world, and natural materials made with care tend to support that connection in a meaningful way.
You’re currently building a house. Any thoughts or insights on how to design a space that allows us to be most in-touch with our intuition or spirit guides?
My biggest advice is to let your home reflect who you actually are, which may take some remembering and a bit of soul-searching. It’s easy to get distracted by trends or what a space “should” look like.
Connection happens more easily when you’re surrounded by what you genuinely like and how you want to feel. Slowly replacing things with pieces you’re drawn to is a great place to start. For me, that looks like warm woods, texture, greens, reds, browns, blacks, and a good bit of orange. It probably doesn’t make sense on paper, but it feels right in the space.
Pro tip: pick your top five favorite colors for your home by asking a few simple questions. What color calms you? What color helps you feel focused or driven if you work from home? What color makes you feel inspired or energized? From there, start layering those colors in while paying attention to textures that feel good too. Feeling neutral about something can still be a yes. We often connect deeply in spaces that put our minds and bodies at ease. That’s intuitive design in practice.
I’m having fun designing our guest bath right now by asking, “What would a Scorpio want to experience in here?” And honestly, much of the house has become a nod to what a minimalist woodland witch might want to walk into. It’s helped me narrow down what I like and how I want to feel. When a space reflects you, it connects and grounds you quickly, without trying.
I love your laid-back, effortless style. What is it about Vincent James that fits with your lifestyle and ethos? And what three words would you use to describe your style?
Vincent James works for me because I can wear the same piece with my kids in the morning, to work, and into the evening without feeling like I need to change or reset. The pieces feel special and intentional, supporting how I actually move through my day.
Movement is the most important ritual in my life. I don’t meditate, so moving my body has become my meditation. I love dropping my kids off, taking a class at The Works, Works Cycle, ACE, or The Pilates House, and then slipping on something that feels easy and good. That transition sets the tone for my workday, from school drop-off to pickup and into the evening.
When I feel comfortable and at ease in what I’m wearing, I feel more connected and in flow. Clothes shouldn’t interrupt your rhythm. They should support it. Vincent James does that beautifully.
Three words I’d use to describe my style: minimal, edgy, lived-in.
As the year of the fire horse approaches, do you have any insight or advice for us as a collective?
The fire horse carries a lot of momentum. It’s bold, fast, and forward-moving, but it doesn’t respond well to hesitation or half-choices.
My advice is to pay attention to what keeps piquing your interest. The fire horse rewards movement, even imperfect movement. Waiting until everything makes sense may feel safe, but this is a year that favors engagement over delay. You can also choose a guide or loved one on the other side to help you recognize what action to take. Think of someone who was good at moving forward, not a perfectionist, but a mover and a shaker. It could be someone you knew well, someone you knew peripherally, or even a public figure or artist. They can all show up for us. I’ve been thinking a lot about Catherine O’Hara lately and integrating her quirky, genius energy into my own life.
There’s also a reminder here about independence. Choosing your own pace. Action doesn’t have to be fast to be effective. Trusting your instincts even when they don’t match the expectations around you. When you move in alignment, things tend to organize themselves more quickly than you expect.
