Fernanda Odum

Spirits have always been part of my life. I was approximately 4 years old when my late uncle Victor began visiting me and took on the role of my Spirit Guide. I have been blessed to grow up surrounded by many Beings of Light who have walked alongside me and guided me throughout my life.


This connection to Spirit was not something I experienced alone. It also runs through my family in many beautiful ways. My late grandmother Emma, who is now one of my dearest Spirit Guides, had vivid premonitions and practiced medicinal herbalism. Throughout my life, I have witnessed these gifts expressed in different ways within my family, reminding me that this connection has always been a part of my lineage. Looking back, I can see how these experiences and traditions have always been woven into my path.


Even though these abilities had been with me for as long as I could remember, it was in 2018 that I felt a strong push from Spirit to begin sharing messages with others. It was honestly one of the most difficult things I have ever done. For a long time, this was a part of myself that I kept private. I was afraid of how people would perceive me, and I worried about the reactions that often surround those who openly share their spiritual abilities.


But Spirit had other plans for me.


When I finally listened to that calling, I began offering free sessions while still working full-time in the Human Resources department of a Longview company. No matter how tired I was after a long day of work, I looked forward to the evenings when I had sessions scheduled. Those moments of connection felt meaningful, and I slowly began realizing that this was not something I was meant to keep only for myself. It was a way I could be of service.


Sacred Terra was born in 2021. For a while, I continued balancing my career and my spiritual work, giving everything I had to both. Eventually, after much reflection and guidance from Spirit, I realized I could no longer pour myself into two full-time paths. I wanted to create more space for this work, for my clients, and for the life I was being called to build.


In February 2022, I took a leap of faith and stepped into Sacred Terra full-time.


For several years, Sacred Terra lived among the Piney Woods of Avinger, Texas. My first studio was created by my amazing husband and became a beautiful little sanctuary surrounded by nature. It was a place where people could step away from the outside world, reconnect with themselves, and experience the peaceful energy of the woods.


That space will always hold a special place in my heart because it was where Sacred Terra continued growing its roots.


As Sacred Terra continued growing, I began feeling called toward another expansion. I realized that bringing this work into Longview would allow me to welcome more people who felt drawn to connect, but who may not have been able to make the drive into the woods.


And so, Sacred Terra entered a new chapter.


Today, Sacred Terra has found a new home in Longview, Texas… a private studio space created with the same intention, warmth, and sacred energy that has always been at the heart of this work. While the scenery has changed, the purpose remains the same: creating meaningful spaces for reflection, connection, transformation, and spiritual exploration.


The little sanctuary in the woods of Avinger will always remain a special place for me… a space where I can reconnect, recharge, and continue nurturing my own connection with Spirit. And who knows what the future may bring? Perhaps one day the woods will once again welcome others through intimate gatherings and special experiences created there. For now, it remains a sacred space holding the roots of Sacred Terra as this next chapter continues to unfold.


I am a Reiki Master, spiritual medium, intuitive guide, and a friend to those who find themselves drawn to this path of connection and self-discovery. I offer Mediumship Sessions, Reiki, Energy Balancing, Life Path Readings, Mexican traditional limpias, and Mesoamerican-inspired spiritual practices. I also facilitate women’s circles, transformational gatherings, and themed ceremonies designed to create moments of connection, remembrance, and personal growth.


My personal journey and connection to Spirit are also deeply connected to my roots.

I was born in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico, and my connection to my ancestral roots continues to be a meaningful part of my journey. The traditions, teachings, and wisdom carried through generations have always been something I deeply honor. Over the years, I have had the privilege of learning directly from elders and teachers in Mexico, and I continue receiving guidance and teachings through ongoing training and connection with those who have walked this path before me.


I believe this is a lifelong journey, one of listening, honoring, and continuing to deepen my understanding. There are always more stories to hear, and more ways to strengthen my relationship with the traditions that have shaped so much of who I am.


Because my family continues to live in Mexico, I am grateful to return often and remain connected to the land, the people, and the culture that are part of my roots. Through these connections, I continue honoring my heritage and weaving these teachings into the work I share through Sacred Terra.


Thank you for being part of this journey and for allowing Sacred Terra to continue evolving.


I have learned that this path continues to reveal itself one step at a time. Each chapter brings new opportunities, new connections, new ways to share what has been placed on my heart, and new moments that invite me to trust, surrender, and take another leap of faith. Through listening, trusting, and following the guidance that comes through, Sacred Terra continues to unfold in ways I could have never imagined. Every step has brought me exactly where I was meant to be.


I invite you to be part of this journey as Sacred Terra continues to grow and evolve through the guidance that has carried it from the beginning.


My hope is that when you step into Sacred Terra, you feel the intention, care, and sacred connection that has been woven into every part of this path. I look forward to sharing the services, gatherings, ceremonies, and meaningful connections that continue to unfold within Sacred Terra.


With Amor & Gratitude,


Fernanda Odum
