About
Maria

I didn’t grow up seeing dead people in the hallway or chatting with Grandma’s ghost at the breakfast table. I’m not one of those Mediums who’s been “gifted” since birth. I’m just a plain Jane, cuss-like-a-sailor, grew-up-poor, worked-my-ass-off-in-corporate kind of woman who took the scenic route to Spirit.

Wanna know how I ended up here? Watch this video on the homepage. Spoiler: it wasn’t angel choirs and moonbeams. It was more like, “WTF is happening to me?”—followed by a whole lot of surrender and shadow work.

I live every single day to be of service to Spirit and to you. And if you’re new here, let me give you some tough love wrapped in humor: please do your homework before handing your soul over to someone who claims to be spiritually tuned in.

Here’s how:

• Google their name and business (for me: “Maria Leggett Medium”)

• Look into their training—not college degrees, babe. Those don’t mean squat in this work (and sometimes even block the intuitive flow)

• Research their mentors and teachers. Who taught them? Where did they learn?

You’re walking a sacred path. Make sure whoever guides you on it actually walks their talk.

My spiritual path kicked off when I became a Certified Aromatherapist and Reiki Master. Those experiences cracked me open just enough to let Spirit sneak back into my life and once that door opened, there was no going back. I tried. I told Spirit flat out “I will not be a medium.”

I studied mediumship in Blue Ash, Ohio with some incredible teachers: Joanne Franchina, Rose Vanden Eynden, and Chad Seibert. Then I took it even deeper at Fellowships of the Spirit in Lily Dale, NY, learning under Rev. Elaine Thomas and Rev. Tom Cratsley in the School of Prophecy and Healing. Let’s just say Spirit put me through bootcamp—and I showed up for it.

Yes, I’m a legally registered Minister in the state of Ohio. I perform weddings and handfastings, and yes, I can totally make them magical and legally binding. 💍✨

Let’s get one thing straight: mediumship is an ability, not a gift. You were born with the wiring. The question is—are you willing to open up and learn how to use it safely and responsibly? That’s what I teach in my live and digital courses through Rooted in Ritual with Maria, including a 2-year Mediumship Certification Program and Intuition Development Circles for every level of mediumship curiosity.

I also lead women’s Master Circles that go deep—healing mother wounds, sister wounds, and all the stories that keep us small. My training as a Spiritualist Minister and as a Spiritual Life Coach through James Van Praagh’s School of Mystical Arts allows me to help women unravel their trauma, step into their power, and show up as their raw, radiant, no-more-hiding selves.

In 2021, I published my first oracle deck, Balancing the Feminine—a tool for receiving loving, honest, Spirit-led guidance. (Emphasis on honest. Spirit doesn’t sugarcoat and neither do I.) In 2022, I released Chakra Affirmations as a digital deck, and both are available on my website now.

When you book a reading, healing, or spiritual coaching session with me, know this: I hold sacred space like a priestess and deliver messages like your soul’s best friend who doesn’t let you dodge your own greatness. Spirit has wisdom for you. I’m just here to help you hear it.
