Can you explain your personal journey and how you discovered your psychic or intuitive abilities? What led you to pursue this path?
I believe my conscious journey into the world of energy began when I was 27. Something significant happened to me, an emotional breakup with someone I deeply loved. This experience led me to seek the help of a healer, and I received energy healing. From that point on, things began to open up for me.
Looking back, throughout my life, I seemed to have a unique ability. It felt as though I could channel information from a source I wasn’t consciously aware of. I recall thinking, ‘Where did that come from?’ as I shared this information with different people. Now, I understand the source of that information.
Spiritual insights also played a role in my life. I would receive intuitive messages about future events, but at the time, I didn’t realize that I was sensitive and could connect to the world of energy. I simply didn’t pay much attention to it. When these predictions came true, I would think, ‘Wow, I knew that was going to happen.’ It was a recurring experience.
So, I began my journey of learning about energy and healing. I joined a closed circle where I meditated and developed my abilities. It was a fortunate experience. Additionally, I attended courses at the Arthur Findlay College, a famous and historic metaphysical college in England, UK. This furthered my knowledge and skills.
I also ventured into working with spiritual churches at various times, although I didn’t particularly enjoy it back then. Public speaking was a challenge for me, but I believe I’ve grown since then and would handle it differently now.
What methods or techniques do you use to connect with spiritual energies or entities during your sessions? Can you describe your process?
Now, I intend to. It’s merely an intention. So, I connect without the need to meditate beforehand. I simply set my intention, calling upon the guides, source, and the energies of love and light. My first priority is to protect myself before engaging in any energetic work.
So, nowadays, I just set the intention to connect with the highest source possible of love and light, and it naturally unfolds. Physically, I begin by cleansing the area where I’m working. I also cleanse my aura. To enhance the atmosphere, I light an incense stick, intending to purify my energy.
There’s a little personal practice I have, and I’m not sure if anyone else does it, but I have some buttons on the side of my head. I activate them. Then, when I’m finished, I express gratitude and deactivate them. This way, when I’m not working, I’m not constantly ‘on’ all day long.
How do you protect yourself from negative energies or emotions that may arise during your readings or sessions? Do you have any rituals or practices to maintain your own well-being?
I protect myself by ensuring that I don’t absorb negative energies. I can recognize these lower energies of negativity, but I shield myself from absorbing them through intention. I create a protective field around me, a literal barrier. Before I start working with anyone, I visualize this field of white light encompassing me. This way, I can identify negative energy without absorbing it. Once the session is over, everything dissipates.
Can you share an instance where you received information during a reading that was unexpected or surprising to both you and the client? How did you handle it?
I set the intention to work on myself. So, if I perceive anything negative, it usually represents a challenge that the person needs to face. I don’t seek out negativity. For instance, years ago, I was conducting a reading for a lady who was sitting right in front of me in my room. She wanted to connect with her late husband. During the reading, the first image that came to me was that he had hung himself; I saw him hanging. This was very distressing for me, as I am quite sensitive.
From that point on, I made an agreement with my guides that I wouldn’t receive such distressing images again. I didn’t want to witness such things. It’s a difficult aspect of my work. Typically, when I work with someone, I focus on seeing their highest potential. Occasionally, I also perceive the challenges they need to overcome to reach that potential.
Do you believe that everyone has some level of psychic or intuitive ability, or is it a gift possessed by only a select few? If so, how can individuals tap into their own intuitive potential?
I believe everyone has psychic abilities because we are all sentient beings. People can walk into a room and sense when something feels off or when the atmosphere is joyful, allowing them to start enjoying themselves right away.
The aspect of mediumship, on the other hand, varies depending on individual needs. When someone comes to me for a reading, I don’t initially know what they require. It could involve psychic insights about them or connecting with a loved one in the spirit realm. It depends on the person’s needs at that particular time.
While I think psychic abilities are inherent in everyone, not everyone may possess the ability for mediumship. However, psychic abilities can be developed. Personally, I can only speak to how I have developed mine, which involves being interested and committed to doing my best.
What exact type of services do you offer?
I offer psychic mediumship and spiritual readings. However, I never know what someone needs, and they may not be aware of it either until we sit together. It naturally unfolds during our session.
When I begin a reading, I often ask the person if they have anyone specific in the spirit world they would like to connect with. Our soul groups are vast, and many souls are part of our group. Sometimes, everyone in the spirit realm wants to convey a message, but the sitter usually has someone particular in mind. We extend an invitation to that specific spirit, giving them a sort of VIP status. They get the first opportunity to convey their message. Once they’ve shared their message, other spirits may come forward as well.
For example, if someone wishes to hear from their mother, she would come forward first because we’ve invited her. She would share her message, and afterward, it’s common for other spirits like a grandparent, brother, great-grandfather, or great-grandmother to come in. These spirits bring their love and encouragement to the sitter.
Psychic readings and mediumship are distinct but interconnected energies.
Skepticism is common when it comes to psychic and intuitive readings. How do you address doubts or skepticism from clients and help build trust in your abilities?
I am friendly because I understand that some people are very new to the world of energy and spirit and psychics. So, I make an effort to be friendly. When I encounter someone who is skeptical and challenges me with statements like ‘prove it,’ if I can’t immediately open them up, I focus on opening their heart. I direct my attention to their heart center and send healing and love into it.
It’s rare for me to encounter someone I can’t open up to because, in most cases, when someone is initially skeptical or closed off, it’s challenging to read for them due to their attitude of ‘go and prove it then.’ However, my usual approach is to be friendly, reassuring, and understanding. I recognize that there may be some nervousness involved, and I proceed with my work in a friendly manner.
