Three Signs You Were a Healer in a Past Life How to Know

Many of us feel called to healing work as part of our spiritual journey, and sometimes we may have been a healer in a past life. But how can you tell if your gift stretches beyond this lifetime—if you were a healer before? Here are three signs that may help you recognize this part of your soul’s history.

Have You Been a Healer Before?

Clients often ask me if they were a healer in a past life.

The truth is—yes, it’s absolutely possible. Many of us are much older souls than we realize. When people come to me for an Akashic Records Reading, it’s usually during a time of spiritual awakening.

Awakenings can show up as vivid dreams, sudden sensitivity to energy, or even visitations from guides and loved ones who have crossed over. Lucid dreams may bring flashes of past lives, leaving you wondering: how can I know for sure if I’ve walked the healer’s path before – have I been a healer in a past life?

Here are three signs to look for.

Sign #1: As a Healer in a Past Life, You Feel Drawn to Healing Modalities

Many people today are drawn to energy healing, herbal remedies, or alternative medicine. Reiki, Quantum Touch, the EMF Balancing Technique—these are just a few examples.

One of the most powerful ways to discover if you’ve been a healer in a past life is to try one of these practices yourself. Often, people find it comes so naturally, almost as if they’re remembering, not learning.

For me, that first moment was with reflexology, an ancient practice using hand, foot, and ear acupressure.

Once I learned the basic “thumb walking” technique, my practice clients reported feeling both deeply relaxed and surprisingly energized. Some even experienced spontaneous releases and healing shifts.

Over time, something unexpected began to happen: I started receiving intuitive insights during sessions.

With one client, I kept seeing an image of her falling backward on a ski slope. She had come in for lower back pain, but couldn’t recall an injury. Only as she was leaving did a memory surface—she had fallen skiing as a child.

Moments like these are validations. Our Superconscious mind, passed on from life to life, may be activating memories of you being a healer in a past life.

Sign #2: A Healer In a Past Life Brings Through Energy Sensitivity

Another sign of past-life healing is a growing sensitivity to energy. As part of humanity’s awakening, many of us are learning to perceive more than the physical.

You may notice other people’s “vibes,” sense what they’re thinking, or feel their emotions as if they’re your own. This happens because our energy fields—or auras—interact and merge.

Perhaps you’re drawn to studying the chakras, the auric field, or the meridians of Chinese medicine. The rise of acupuncture in the West reflects this collective remembering: that the body is more than flesh and bone, it is energy in motion.

Healers often begin by noticing not just their own energy, but also the emotions, patterns, and imbalances in others. Empathy becomes a doorway. And from there, ancient wisdom as a healer in a past life begins to stir awake within.

Sign #3: You Resonate With Natural Methods of Healing

Having been a healer in a past life, you may also discover that you are able to heal yourself!

Self-healing can be as simple as figuring out an emotional issue with someone else and working on it with them.  Afterward, you both feel better and more strongly connected.

Sometimes, self-healing can result from research into a health area, such as good diet or a specific type of exercise. It can be a very empowering experience to discover something that works perfectly for you.

Over time, I learned to use kinesiology to help me choose appropriate remedies for minor ailments.

Kinesiology helps us to tune into our innate healing gifts and apply them by asking yes or no questions of ourselves. I really resonated naturally with this work and found it easy to do – this is how you might know you were a healer in a past life.

Practicing kinesiology regularly helped me to become an accurate reader with a pendulum, too, which I now use to prepare for a lot of my reading sessions with clients.

Extra Sign – You Were a Healer in a Past Life because of Your Soul Group

There are around 24 different Soul Groups currently incarnating here on Earth. Your Soul Group of origin is the vibration your Soul began incarnating with.

All of these Soul Groups have different gifts. Some involve familiarity with energy healing techniques. Others involve bringing high spiritual concepts to Earth, such as neutrality, emotional wisdom, self-awareness, and even technical abilities.

People also refer to Soul Groups as Starseed Groups. You can discover your Soul Group with my breakthrough reading to begin your Akashic Records experience, called the Soul Star Reading.

One way to connect with your past lives is to work with the Akashic Records. This expands the connection to your Soul through your Higher Self (also known as your intuition).

You’ll find that your intuition expands with Akashic Records work, and questions you have on the spiritual journey will be answered. It really helps you to connect the dots.
