What happens when you stop performing and start remembering?
In this episode of The Stories That Form Us, I sit down with Eliza, the intuitive guide and founder of Fern Creek Collective, a soul-rooted practice offering psychic readings, Akashic Record sessions, equine-supported healing, and animal communication. Based in Vermont and energetically connected to her land, her animals, and a deeper knowing, Eliza’s work is not about answers. It’s about resonance.
We talk about the sacredness of the Akashic Records, her journey from resisting her gifts to fully claiming them, and the role her horses (and her cabin) play in guiding the process. We also reflect on performance, presence, and what it takes to actually live in alignment with your soul’s purpose — especially as women building businesses in nonlinear, intuitive ways.
This one’s a remembering.
Meet Eliza of Fern Creek Collective
Eliza is a psychic medium, Akashic Record guide, and animal communicator, but even those titles feel too small. Her work blends intuitive channeling, energetic healing, and deep soul witnessing to support both humans and animals in returning to themselves. With the help of her horses and a magnetic cabin that feels like a being in its own right, Eliza holds space for transformation that’s grounded, sacred, and utterly unforced.
A Few Themes That Rose to the Surface
The Soul Remembers, Even When We Don’t
Eliza shares how her path unfolded not through a clear plan, but through an undeniable pull. From childhood sensitivities to a life shaped by service, intuition always led, even when it didn’t yet have language.
Akashic Records as Mirrors, Not Maps
Rather than providing concrete “answers,” the records reveal questions we haven’t asked yet. Eliza’s session for me was a mirror reflecting the way I reimagine stories for others… and for myself.
“They don’t show me what you don’t want me to see. It’s that sacred.”
The Horses Are Part of the Work
The healing that happens through Eliza’s horses isn’t metaphorical. It’s physical, cellular, emotional, often leaving clients sore from the energetic integration. They don’t just support her work. They are the work.
Trust Is the Portal
Whether we’re talking about psychic clarity, boundaries, or business decisions, everything comes back to trust. Trusting the signal. Trusting your body. Trusting the pace. And honoring what your energy has to say.
Brand as an Anchor, Not a Mask
Eliza reflects on how branding her business with Unbridled Form helped her step into a fuller expression of self. Not because it “added” anything, but because it revealed and affirmed what was already true.
“Seeing myself wrapped in those brand colors, that changed something for me. It gave me a place to stand.”
Client Spotlight: Fern Creek Collective
This conversation holds a special place in my heart because Eliza isn’t just a guest. She’s also one of the brilliant women I’ve had the honor of supporting through Unbridled Form. We worked together to bring her brand and website for Fern Creek Collective to life, grounding it in a visual identity that feels approachable, confident, and deeply connected to the natural elements that guide her work.
As Eliza shared in her review:
“My favorite part of the branding for Fern Creek Collective is that it is grounded in colors that represent earth elements while still feeling whimsical and light. My goal was to not have the website feel too mysterious because people are already confused enough about my work, so I wanted the branding to be approachable, confident and not over the top. I think Amy nailed it.”
From the moment we began, it was clear that the brand needed to hold space for the unseen and the embodied, for the intuitive nature of her offerings and the grounded presence of the horses who support them. We built everything around that intention.
And the transformation wasn’t just visual.
“It was important for me to be seen in a more concrete way,” Eliza shared. “The website and branding have already been incredibly impactful. They’ve allowed clients to read about my work in one place where it’s all laid out in a cohesive manner and feels light and approachable.
To anyone considering working with Amy, be prepared to learn more about yourself and how you want to truly be seen by the world. It felt like a whole process of becoming!”

Through the Lens of Story
This episode is a reminder that brand stories, like our personal life stories, aren’t always linear. They’re intuitive. Cellular. Sometimes mysterious.
And yet, the more we learn to listen, to our body, to the land, to our animals, to the quiet stirrings of knowing, the more our work begins to take shape around the truth of who we are.
In Eliza’s world, that truth is sacred. It’s for remembrance.
Because the stories that form us aren’t always the wildest ones. Sometimes, they arrive like whispers in a knowing glance from your horse or a ripple of energy moving through your spine. And when we listen, they change everything.
