Can you describe your journey and how you discovered your psychic abilities? Was there a specific event or moment that made you realize your gift?
It all began when I was just four years old, and it was undeniably frightening. I mean, picture a little girl, me, confronted with the ability to physically see the deceased and their spirits. I could see them manifest before my eyes. This peculiar sight would often awaken me in the dead of night, where they stood at the end of my bed, silently gazing at me. This became an everyday occurrence, and every night, I would see people who remained invisible to everyone else. It was a truly terrifying experience, and I kept wondering, “Don’t you see them too?”
As I grew older, things took an even weirder turn. They began physically shaking my bed to gain my attention. This began around the ages of 7, 8, 9, and 10. They continued shaking my bed year after year, leaving me puzzled about their intentions. I would often hide my head under the covers, saying my prayers. Given my Catholic upbringing and Catholic school education, I desperately wished for it to stop.
Now, at the age of 51, I’ve come to understand that they were merely trying to capture my attention. On the other side, imagine being invisible and unable to communicate with your loved ones to let them know that you’re safe and content. Their determination to reach out to me was born out of the desire to reassure their dear ones. Spirits, as I now recognize them, are remarkably intelligent and possess a level of consciousness and intellect far surpassing our human understanding. All they truly yearn for is to offer solace to their loved ones, and they will employ any means necessary, any messenger, to convey these messages. So, of course, they resorted to disturbing my peaceful slumber. Nowadays, things are much gentler, and I’ve learned to establish boundaries. I now know that I can firmly instruct them, “Please don’t disturb my sleep.” It’s truly remarkable how my relationship with them has evolved. But back then, in my younger years, it was undeniably terrifying.
During your early years, when you first began to become aware of your gift, how did you handle it? Did you receive any kind of assistance or guidance that helped you navigate this new world?
In my early twenties, I didn’t embrace this gift; I actively pushed it aside. I wanted to explore, travel, hang out with my friends, and simply be a carefree kid before embarking on the more conventional aspects of adulthood like marriage.
Eventually, I came to the realization that I needed to address this part of me. I began honing my abilities, fueled by curiosity and a yearning to understand. I sought guidance and learned from various teachers, including notable figures like Tony Stockwell, hailing from England. These teachers, many of whom were affiliated with Arthur Findlay College, played a pivotal role in helping me refine and enhance the skills I already possessed.
As a result of these lessons and diligent practice, I was able to open my own business. I’m thrilled to be celebrating my business’s 10th anniversary this month. It feels like the perfect moment for this interview, coinciding with this significant milestone. I’m genuinely pleased that you’ve discovered my story and decided to share it.
Many people seek guidance from psychic mediums during times of grief or loss. How do you approach helping individuals who are trying to connect with loved ones who have passed away?
Most people tend to find me; I don’t actively seek out readings or anything of that sort. I firmly believe that the people who come across my work and seek me out are the ones destined to receive messages from me. It all seems to happen organically, almost as if the spiritual realm has a hand in guiding them. Spirit seems to manipulate energy or create opportunities for these individuals to connect with me.
My primary focus is on providing evidence, and I consider it vital not to have any prior knowledge about my clients. I don’t require your real name; in fact, I had one client who booked under the name “John Wick” to remain anonymous. As fate would have it, that man is now my fiancé. I love sharing that story, and it happened about two and a half years ago. It goes to show that a medium shouldn’t need to ask you a multitude of questions. Spirit is the one who delivers the evidence, and I am merely the conduit through which these messages are conveyed. I feel incredibly grateful to serve as this messenger. It brings me immense joy to help others find closure and connection with their loved ones in the spirit world.
Spirit often goes to great lengths to prove their continued presence, even remotely guiding me to see details from your life, like what you had for dinner last night or private conversations you shared with your daughter in your kitchen. They provide the evidence, and I’m here to facilitate their communication.
Are there any specific tools or techniques you use during your readings, such as tarot cards, crystals, or meditation practices? How do these tools enhance your abilities?
I do incorporate tarot cards, but that’s reserved for specific sessions. You see, I offer a range of services, including medium readings and psychic readings. During psychic readings, my focus shifts, and I’m not actively connecting with Spirit in the same way. When it comes to mediumship, the only tool I employ is a simple blank wall. I gaze upon it, and that’s when I perceive the presence of spirits. It’s a unique experience because I witness them step forward and manifest on the wall. They appear almost like animated holograms or photo negatives, depicted in varying shades of black, white, and gray. Despite their ethereal nature, they exude personality and often share a sense of humor.
In contrast, when I use tarot cards, my attention is solely on the cards themselves. At that moment, I’m not seeking to connect with your loved ones, as the primary purpose of this particular reading is to gather information from your spirit guides, not necessarily your departed loved ones. In the realm of tarot or psychic readings, the word “psychic” is used, but it’s important to note that all mediums inherently possess psychic abilities. In the context of psychic readings, I receive downloads of information directly from your guides. I refrain from trying to visualize your guides because, understandably, you may not have any visual information about them. For instance, if I were to mention a guide with enormous wings, you might not have a frame of reference to verify such details.
So, in essence, my medium readings focus on connecting with your loved ones, allowing them to provide concrete evidence, such as their appearance and specific details. However, I also offer psychic readings and use tools like tarot and angel cards. Yet, my primary tool for mediumship is quite unconventional – just a blank wall.
What type of services do you offer?
I offer various types of medium readings tailored to individual preferences. These include one-on-one medium readings for couples, family readings for groups of three to five people, as well as private in-home group sessions. I also actively participate in a wide range of events, from intimate restaurant gatherings to larger-scale theater events.
My readings are available in multiple time slots, including 30-minute medium readings, 30-minute tarot readings, and a comprehensive 50-minute reading that combines different aspects for one-on-one sessions. I’ve adapted to the digital age by conducting Zoom sessions, which accommodate both one-on-one and group readings. Additionally, I offer phone readings, and the best part is that I read for clients worldwide, allowing me to share my gift with people from all corners of the globe. It’s truly gratifying to spread love and messages of connection, transcending geographic boundaries and reaching beyond the local confines of Hawthorne, NJ.
Have you ever encountered a particularly challenging or difficult situation during a reading or mediumship session? How did you handle it, and what did you learn from the experience?
Spirit operates with a deep understanding of the medium they are working through, and mediums, in turn, set their boundaries. My boundaries with Spirit are clear. I don’t want to witness anything graphic or distressing, such as suicides or violent scenes. Not only do I want to protect myself from potentially traumatic images, but I also aim to create a compassionate and healing environment for my clients.
When communicating how they passed, Spirit often employs a gentler approach. I had an instance where a woman who had taken her own life showed me a bathtub, and I felt a sensation as if my hands were going numb, like blood was draining from my arms. It was an unsettling feeling, but it allowed me to understand that she had committed suicide in a bathtub by slitting her wrists. Spirit brought forth the evidence in a way that conveyed the message without being overly distressing or graphic.
My approach with clients is one of sensitivity and compassion. I strive to help them in their healing journey, not to reopen wounds or cause emotional distress. I don’t have issues with Spirit; they communicate clearly and respectfully. Any challenges usually arise from living, particularly if someone is fearful or closed off. In such cases, Spirit can be persistent with me, providing guidance and messages to assist the client. I place complete trust in the Spirit and relay the messages as they come, ultimately guided by their wisdom.
I consider myself fortunate to be able to facilitate these connections and bring comfort and healing to those in need.
How do you stay grounded and maintain your own well-being while engaging in emotionally intense or spiritually demanding work as a psychic medium?
Absolutely, self-care is an essential part of my routine, especially given that I conduct eight readings each week. To maintain my well-being, I have established a regular self-care regimen. This includes indulging in soothing salt baths, during which I immerse my crystals in the bathwater, allowing me to absorb their positive energy. Every morning, before even stepping out of bed, I make it a point to meditate. This practice sets the tone for my day and provides a sense of balance and tranquility.
In addition to meditation, I also carry a crystal in my pocket, particularly when I anticipate being in the company of individuals with intense or lower-frequency energies. This protective measure primarily applies to interactions with the living rather than with spirits. I often opt for a black Obsidian crystal in my pocket if I anticipate encountering energy-draining individuals.
Ensuring adequate sleep is another crucial aspect of my self-care routine. I rely on my oil diffuser to create a serene atmosphere, frequently using essential oils for a calming effect. I’m a fervent advocate of rituals such as sage cleansing to maintain a purified and harmonious environment. Moreover, I incorporate daily prayers into my routine, influenced by my Catholic background. These practices collectively contribute to my overall well-being, and I make a conscious effort to prioritize self-care as an integral part of my daily life.
