7 Signs You Are a Healer
Do people often come to you for support, even when you don’t offer it?
Do you feel emotions so deeply that you sometimes wonder if they’re even yours?
In this post, I’ll share 7 powerful signs you are a healer and how your sensitivity, intuition, and presence might be pointing to something your soul already knows.
Being a healer doesn’t have to be your profession. In fact, some of the most powerful healers I’ve met don’t call themselves that at all. They’re the quiet ones. The listeners. The space holders. The people whose presence alone makes others feel safe.
This isn’t about what you do for work. It’s about the energy you carry and perhaps the role your soul has chosen in this lifetime, or even many lifetimes before.
In this post, I’ll share the seven signs that you may be a natural born healer. And if some of them resonate with you, I’ll also invite you to try a gentle heart-based practice that can help you connect with your own inner guidance.
Sometimes, all we need is a moment of stillness to remember who we really are.
What Being a Healer Actually Means
When people hear the word “healer,” they often picture someone who gives Reiki, works as a therapist, or holds space in formal sessions. That’s valid, of course but that’s not the only expression of healing.
I’ve come to understand that being a healer is not a role.
Being a healer is a frequency.
It’s an energy your soul carries.
And whether or not you share it in a professional context doesn’t change what you are.
You can be a healer in your kitchen, on the phone with a friend, or simply by the way you sit and listen to someone’s pain without trying to fix it. It’s something that comes through your presence, your sensitivity, your depth. Often without you doing anything at all.
7 Signs You Might Be a Natural Born Healer
Let’s explore some of the most common signs you are a healer, even if you’ve never thought of yourself that way before.
1. You’re highly sensitive to energy
You can feel the mood in a room without anyone saying a word. Loud sounds, harsh environments, or emotionally intense people can overwhelm you. You may have been told you’re too emotional but what’s really happening is that you’re attuned to what others miss.
2. People open up to you
You might find that people come to you for help or comfort, even if you don’t offer it. Friends, strangers, colleagues- They somehow feel safe around you. And they often feel better after spending time with you, even if you barely said anything.
3. You’re drawn to healing without knowing why
You might feel a natural pull toward energy healing, crystals, spiritual teachings, or plant medicine. Even if you’ve never trained in these areas, they feel familiar. Like home.
4. You’ve gone through emotional or physical pain that changed you
Many natural healers have been initiated through hardship. Whether it was illness, grief, trauma, or emotional pain, something about that experience cracked you open and put you on a path of healing and self-discovery.
5. You’ve had glimpses of past lives as a healer
Maybe you’ve had a vivid dream, a strong reaction to a historical period, or a sudden knowing of how to help someone without being taught. These can be signs that you’ve done this work before-just not in this lifetime.
6. You feel called to something greater
There’s a quiet feeling inside that your life has a deeper purpose. You may not be able to name it. But it’s always been there, like a soft inner nudge.
7. You feel most alive when helping others heal, grow, or awaken
When you support someone emotionally or spiritually, something in you lights up. You feel present. Calm. Aligned. It doesn’t feel like effort, it feels like you’re being who you really are.
If several of these signs you are a healer resonate with you, your heart might already know the answer: you were born to help others heal, simply through your presence.
My Own Story (and Why I Hid My Gift for So Long)
For a long time, I didn’t call myself a healer. I was a trained medical doctor. I believed in what could be tested, measured, and proven.
But after moving to San Francisco, I began experiencing things I couldn’t explain. I could feel people’s energy. I began doing intuitive readings-at first just for fun, but soon they became real sessions. The more I listened to my heart, the stronger these abilities became.
And then something unexpected happened. I began remembering a past life.
In one of those memories, I was a healer in a small village in Europe. I lived alone, worked with herbs, and helped women from the nearby village. But eventually, I was accused of being a witch. I was taken, tortured, and burned.
The memory was so vivid. I could see the faces. I could feel the fear in my body. It lived in my bones. For years, that imprint held me back. I felt afraid to speak openly about my healing work. I didn’t want to be seen as “the weird one.”
But the moment I worked through it-energetically and emotionally-everything changed. I was finally able to show up fully. I was no longer hiding.
Maybe you’ve had similar fears. Maybe something has kept you from fully stepping into your gifts. You don’t need to remember a past life to feel the weight of something you can’t explain. Sometimes, the body remembers even when the mind doesn’t.
Your Heart Already Knows
So how do you know if you’re a healer? The answer isn’t in your resume. It’s in your heart.
Your heart is more than a feeling center. It’s an energetic gateway-a direct line to your soul. It’s the place where your deepest truth lives.
In the podcast, I guide you through a gentle heart-based practice to help you connect to that wisdom. You ask just one question:
“If I am a healer, let me see or feel a symbol that helps me remember.”
You don’t need to force anything. Just listen. Maybe something comes to you—a color, a shape, a word, a feeling. Maybe not. Either is fine. Sometimes, the answer comes later in a dream or in a quiet moment when you’re not looking for it.
The important thing is that you’re open. That you asked. That you’re listening.
