What inspired you to create Orykl and how did the idea come to fruition?
On September 1, 2020, I was sitting in bed meditating at night when the idea popped into my head. It was a divine download, if you want to call it that, but it all worked out right away. Even the name “Oracle” came to mind and I could see the circle now displayed on the home page approaching me as a large circle. I had already dabbled in channeling, so I wrote everything down with my eyes closed. And this idea was born.
As an inspiration, I had a great channeling session two years ago and when the channeler told me at the end of the session that she was also a waitress, I immediately wanted to help her. Because on her website I could see what she needed to change. To attract more customers. I think that's what I'm doing now. It helps channelers and other practitioners attract more clients and help more people by providing a better platform to do so.
And what kind of services do you offer?
Currently, we offer 12 services in the spiritual industry: Channeling, Animal Communication, Distance Reiki, Hypnosis, Energy Healing, Quantum Healing, Pranic Healing, Shamanic Healing, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Spiritual Counseling, Akashic Records, and Mediumship. We provide.
How does Orykl differentiate itself from other platforms in the spiritual and healing industry?
Now it's a directory, but this is nothing new. There are many directories there. However, we vet all practitioners and it's not a question of whether someone has a website, but rather the person's knowledge, character and intent, and all three fit the requirements. Invite the person only if The gold standard for spiritual practitioners everywhere. Most directories allow you to invite anyone for a monthly fee. We value quality over quantity.
However, our platform will soon be used to host actual sessions. Similar to Airbnb, we offer solutions for both practitioners and clients, including hosting sessions on our platform, sending automated reminders, and maintaining records of sessions. Fundamentally, we want to provide talented spiritual practitioners with comprehensive business solutions so they can focus on what they do best: healing and helping their clients. And we want to provide our clients with quality assurance and a seamless system that they can trust and use comfortably.
Can you tell us about the process of vetting Orykl practitioners?
This is a three step process. First, check their online contacts (websites and social media) and pay particular attention to their own videos. If you like what you see, I can invite you to an interview with me so we can get to know each other better. Here I want to hear about their local journeys, get a feel for their intentions, and make sure their hearts are in the right place. Similarly, I'll share more about myself and Orykl so there are no secrets about what we do and why we do it. The third step is a session with someone from the review team, where your skills as a practitioner are tested. If you pass all of these, you will be accepted into our platform.
Why is this so important to you?
Our mission is to help people beyond finances. It doesn't help us to promote people who can't actually deliver what they promise. We can only help if we facilitate genuine transactions.
How do paid spiritual services compete and/or compare with traditional psychotherapy services covered by insurance?
Does it cost more? Ahaha! Well…it will be interesting to see if these services are covered by insurance someday. I have seen many times people heal much more successfully with these treatments than with traditional treatments. I think it will take a long time for insurance companies to make such changes, but it would be interesting to see statistics comparing the success rates of the two. If spiritual services were covered by insurance, people would try them before traditional methods. However, currently we are clearly at a disadvantage. But as more and more people are healing with these methods (and always without a prescription!), I think these will all start to grow and become more and more methods used in the mainstream.
What do you think is the biggest challenge facing spiritual practitioners in today's world?
I think spiritual practitioners are so heart-centered that they can miss the analytical aspects that are often needed to run a business. That's where we come in. I also think they have a hard time pricing their services properly. They don't want to underestimate themselves, but they also want to help everyone, even if they can't afford it. I think this is a challenge many of them face today.
How can spiritual entrepreneurs balance credibility and business growth in such a niche market?
Reliability is key. The more authentic, the better. People see through it, especially clients who go to spiritual practitioners. It always helps best practitioners to be as authentic as possible because their credibility gauge is high. There is no contradiction between reliability and business growth. Both can and should work together.
How do you deal with skepticism and criticism within the industry, especially from those who don't understand or believe in these practices?
This doesn't apply to everyone. Simple. We don't pretend to be that way or want to be that way. We are here only for those who are ready. We don't force anything on anyone. We are a buffet for people who want to come and eat when they are hungry. To be honest, I rarely get criticized. Even if it is, I don't really pay attention to it. Because it has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the person making the criticism. As for the skepticism, I understand it a little bit, but I really always just speak from the heart and never have any judgment or force on what should or shouldn't be. So there's always respect from both sides, and that's never a negative for me.
What advice would you give someone who is just starting their journey as a spiritual practitioner and may not have any clients or many clients yet?
This is mostly a word-of-mouth business. If you start offering sessions (free or cheap) to family and friends and they like it and find it helpful, they'll tell their friends about it. I could give you 100 more tips for running your own business, but that's a good place to start.
Do you have any advice for spiritual practitioners when marketing and promoting their services?
Clean up your website. Increase trust, more clarity, less confusion, offer fewer services, and clearly explain what each service does. Post your video on your website. People will be working with you one-on-one, so they need to get a sense of your personality from your videos, not just your photos. Leverage word-of-mouth referrals and give rebates to those who bring in new customers. If you hate social media, don't do it. It's not all about social media
