Merilyn is an intuitive energy worker, singer, artist, photographer and spiritual entrepreneur. Founder of Merilyn Art, Merilyn Photography and video stock library - Reel Temple.
Merilyn Smith is a multidisciplinary artist, healer, and facilitator working across voice, sound, and visual art. Her practice weaves together creative expression and energy-based modalities to support transformation, inner expression, and human connection. With training in Neuro-Energetic Kinesiology, Reiki and Polynesian massage, psychic development alongside over 15 years of photographic experience, and a Bachelor of Arts in multidisciplinary studies incorporating music and sound production, her work is grounded in both formal study and intuitive development. She has been facilitating immersive group spaces for over 8 years exploring sound, voice, colour, rhythm, and sensory-based creation. Her experience also extends to one-on-one client work, retreats, and music-based environments. Guided by an intention to cultivate oneness, unity, and divine love, Merilyn’s facilitation style is gentle, inclusive, and playful, creating sacred spaces where participants can soften, express, and reconnect with their inner world through creativity and presence.
“From an early age I recall travelling through vortexes of rainbow light in my dream space and being trained by spirit from a young age. I often provided advice beyond my years and had very vivid dreams and out of body experiences.
I struggled as a child with my empathic abilities with few sources to help me navigate all the energies around me, I became scared of my gifts. It took many years to remember my abilities after shutting them down. My seeking nature brought me to many spiritual circles where I was able to practise meditation and psychic development from my teenage years. When I began I actually had no idea why I was practising meditation, I was curious enough to keep pursuing. I just ‘knew’ things and knew this was the right path for me. It took me until I was 25 to really understand that I was empathic and indeed a massive sponge for those around me. It often confused me why unhappy, depressed or angry people would walk away from me happy and care free yet I was left feeling agitated and struggling. Working in the fashion industry in London and Paris at the time was not the nicest place for a sensitive like me, and I soon realised this was not aligned for me.
My father’s death was the catalyst for many spiritual breakthroughs and awakenings. The love of my father and loss expanded my heart chakra open enabling me to have more compassion than ever before and has enabled me to work with the people I do today. Finally understanding these were in fact very advanced gifts to be honoured and knowing how to hone in on my talents, set me free. This is when I began my kinesiology practitioner work and this opened my intuition up even further.

“I work closely with Isis, Sekhmet, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Christ energies and Angelic power.”
I understand I am not solely of this planet and have met other intergalactic beings in certain spiritual initiations. Blue beings, one’s in cloaks, I have had visions of being on grey ships over earth and have been invited back to commune with the Nordics. I have lived many lives on planet earth some which I remember and dating back to Earth’s ancient pyramids before Egyptian times. This is information I do not readily share. I have spent much of my life now in spiritual groups and circles studying the mysteries of spirit and developing my own discernment and connection to the divine. I am here to help many with healing frequencies and guide those back to source and the truth which is we are all one and we are love. My art has capabilities beyond my own comprehension however I have seen with my own eyes and felt its healing powers and frequency.”
