Spiritual Practitioners

Currently and over the years, Betula's Botanica has had the distinction of collaborating with many local & highly competent holistic and spiritual practitioners whose mission is to assist with energy healing, spiritual guidance and education. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our practitioners and the monthly events that we offer!  You can find a schedule of the monthly events by scrolling all the way down the home page or texting me directly at 484-624-2308.

We also work passionately at creating a local & safe spiritual community that supports all who join us.  In 2024, a beautiful private sanctuary became available in the hills and forests of Earl Township, Berks County and is where many of our educational & spiritual gathers take place.

Ashley Williams...Lady Hawk ~ Spirit Craft

Hi there, my name is Ashley! I'm a Reiki master, an intuitive tarot reader, and an artist, on a profound journey towards healing and self-discovery. I am also a facilitator for Betula's monthly Tarot & Tea Gathers!    My road to recovery from drug addiction wasn't easy, but it led me to my amazing discovery of Reiki, which over the years has become such an important part of my spiritual journey and has opened my eyes to a whole new world of healing and creative energy.  As I dove deeper into my Reiki practice, I found myself drawn to creating beautiful crystal candles and jewelry that would enable me to share my healing energy with others. Created in small batches within my studio, these unique pieces are simple, elegant and reflect the complexity of Nature. My exclusive Spirit Craft designs draw on the natural world and our relationship with it. Each piece is designed with love & reverence and imbued with energy using alchemical symbols, reiki, bones, plant materia, and crystals. These special pieces speak to the healing power of handmade art while my intent is to create beacons of light, helping balance and heal the Earth.

Throughout my journey, my two amazing children have blessed me with their support and inspiration. Nature has also been an essential part of my healing process, whether it's hiking in the park, lying on a warm sandy beach, or simply basking in the beauty of the world around me.
  Overall, I'm just a laid-back, life-loving soul who's always on a quest for deeper meaning and greater fulfillment. My sincere hope is that my story inspires and uplifts you on your own path of self-discovery and healing.

Kristen Wisniewski ~ Chihuawitch Stained Glass Artist & Crystal Witch

My name is Kristen. I am a Berks County native. A few of my hobbies include gardening, crafting natural remedies, crystals, reading, stained glass, my rescued chihuahuas and advocating for animals!  I found a deep connection with nature and animals at a very young age. Intrigued by the earth’s treasures, I started collecting gems, rocks and crystals in grade school. As my collection grew over the past few decades, I became more connected with the properties and magical information these stones have to share with us.  Having a green thumb and an affection for plants and gardening has led me to explore the herbal path in recent years. Learning to pair herbs and make remedies has become a passion to lead a more green, natural life.  Crafting with my hands was ingrained in my soul from a long line of hard-working ancestors. They blessed me with their many artistic abilities. I took up stained glass art about 5 years ago as a hobby. Self-taught through you-tube videos and countless hours of practice finds me here today with pieces for sale here at Betula’s Botanica and also taking custom/ commissioned orders.  Plus keep an eye on the web site schedule for upcoming Discovery of Crystals workshops!  

For a glimpse into my world of creativity and inspiration, please follow my magical journey on Instagram and Facebook pages @chihuawitch.

Nikki ~ Mystic Nik

Greetings, Friends!
My name is Nikki, though you’re more likely to find me on the
 interwebs as Mystic Nik. I am descended from a long line of mystics, mediums, and healers, and have found myself on this path across many lifetimes. First and foremost, I am a true believer that healing isn’t linear, is ever-evolving, and can be initiated in a multitude of ways and/or modalities.
As I have experienced and healed through many layers of grief, heartache, trauma, and addiction, I’ve dedicated a large portion of my life to helping others do the same…and as anyone who has struggled in life knows, it’s a process. I am an eternal student and have built a toolbelt becoming of one. I’m not one for titles, but I understand the need for society to assign them: 
Medium. Like my mother before me, I was sensitive to spirits from an early age, but my mediumship was deeply activated when I lost my father in 2011. Along that path I gained a deeper understanding of energy, life, death, the universe, and the divine…all leading me to explore and question things further and further so that I may more effectively help guide others through their grief.
Psychic. Intuitive. Energy Reader…from the beginning. I was drawn to my first Tarot deck at the age of 12 and have since amassed a triple-digit collection of Tarot and Oracle decks that I use in different ways to aid people on their healing journey. I believe them to be a very useful tool for gaining insight into the chaos of life and the human condition.
Shamanic Reiki Practitioner. Above all else, I am a healer. I had been channeling energy as a healing modality for a long time, but didn’t realize it until I reconnected with a childhood friend in 2020 who happened to be a Reiki Master. She took me under her wing so that I could utilize it more intentionally, and introduced me to Shamanic Reiki, an energy healing modality that dives deeper into the root of our energetic woes, so that we can heal from a deeper, more constructive place.
In addition to those titles, I provide other services that typically incorporate some of those aspects as well. Ordained Minister. Intuition & Manifestation Coach. Spiritual Advisor. Relationship Counselor. If you can’t catch me in person, I do offer one on one sessions via various video-conferencing applications, and can periodically be found livestreaming on social media, where I offer condensed and collective versions of my services. It’s important to know that healing is possible, you’re never alone, and we’re always stronger together. I look forward to connecting with you! Please reach out to me by clicking this link.
