Can you tell us about your family background and how psychic abilities have been a part of your upbringing?
I’m currently in the process of writing my autobiography, focusing on my experiences with psychics. Reflecting on my childhood, I first realized I had psychic abilities when I was around four years old. My family background was quite eclectic, with my French grandfather from Marseille and Norwegian grandmother from Oslo. Fortune-telling and spiritual practices were common on my dad’s side, and they would often use Ouija boards to connect with the spirit world.
While attending Catholic school, I found it intriguing how belief in the supernatural was discouraged, except when related to the Holy Spirit. Nonetheless, my family held a strong belief in healing and the spirit world. As I grew up, I developed a deeper understanding of my psychic abilities, starting to read palms at the age of 12. My intuition was always strong, and I could sense things that others couldn’t, leading to remarkable experiences with extended family and vivid dreams. The presence of spirits and the afterlife were familiar aspects of my upbringing, and my connection to the psychic realm remained a normal and essential part of who I am today.
When did you first become aware of your psychic abilities, and how did you come to accept and embrace them as a natural part of your life?
I became aware of my psychic abilities at around four years old, and it felt like a natural and normal part of my life. However, as I grew older and attended Catholic school, I started to feel different from others due to my heightened psychic intuition. While my family accepted and embraced these abilities, I tried to downplay them during my teen years to avoid drawing attention. In my 20s, my fascination with the supernatural led me to explore tarot reading and palmistry, solidifying my belief in the mystical world. Despite societal norms, I never stopped seeing the world differently and remained a firm believer in the existence of fairies and other mystical beings. Embracing my clairvoyant gifts eventually became an integral part of who I am today.
You mentioned being a clairvoyant and having the ability to see, hear, and feel things. Can you elaborate on how these abilities contribute to your readings and the information you provide to your clients?
As a child, I began to notice my psychic abilities, like hearing my name being called or having strong intuitions. It felt quite natural to me, although I was more psychic than other family members. One of my early experiences involved predicting a horse race winner by seeing the number seven, and it turned out to be accurate. Over the years, my psychic abilities evolved, and I started seeing images and receiving messages beyond the capacity of tarot cards. I would see specific details, like bicycles or names, which later proved to be significant to the people I was reading for.
My psychic experiences often involved various senses, such as tasting tobacco when my mother was around or smelling toast as a sign from a loved one. The spirit world’s presence was undeniable, and I learned to trust these insights. While I still faced doubts and fears about getting readings wrong, I embraced my abilities and decided to explore them further. The information I received during readings could be quite astonishing, and at times, I would see unusual names or symbols that later turned out to be highly accurate.
I believe the spirit world tries to communicate with us and provide evidence of their presence, but our doubts and fears can sometimes get in the way. Despite moments of uncertainty, I find joy in the accuracy of my readings and the connections made with clients. It’s fascinating to see how the information I receive can be interpreted differently by the individual, leading to surprising outcomes and realizations. Overall, I cherish my psychic abilities and appreciate the insights they bring into people’s lives.
In addition to your psychic work, you are a healer and practice various forms of alternative medicine. How do these practices complement your psychic abilities, and how do you incorporate them into your sessions or interactions with clients?
As a natural spiritual healer, I’ve undergone training and have acquired certificates in hands-on healing. I had the privilege of being trained by Liz Gale, a renowned expert in Pagan healing, which opened up my abilities to offer healing to others. My approach to healing is rooted in Shanti Hi, a variant of Reiki, where I provide hands-on energy healing to bring relaxation and comfort to my clients. Sometimes during the healing process, clients may not feel anything, and that’s perfectly fine as the absence of stress and anxiety is itself a positive outcome.
Alongside hands-on healing, I also work with Australian Bush flower remedies, a practice I have been deeply connected to since my 30s and I’ve loved and connected to flowers since childhood. The flowers have always brought me solace and healing, and I now use them to offer clients insight and emotional healing. The flower remedies help me explore the underlying emotional causes of issues and provide solutions to support clients on their healing journeys.
In addition to the Australian Bush flower remedies, I also work with indigo essences, which are crystal-based remedies specially designed for children with conditions like autism and ADHD. These vibrational essences have shown incredible results, helping individuals find calm and balance in their lives. I find joy in crafting bespoke remedies like sprays and room sprays to assist clients in clearing energy and creating positive vibrations.
Throughout my journey as a psychic and healer, I’ve learned to trust my guides, who communicate with me through dreams, meditation, and telepathy. The information I receive during readings may come in the form of images, names, or symbols, which I interpret to offer meaningful insights and guidance to clients. Working with crystals has also been an integral part of my journey, and I incorporate them into my readings and healing sessions to enhance energetic connections and protection.
As a herbalist, I’ve found comfort and fascination in working with plants and natural remedies. However, the current regulations and restrictions on natural medicine in the UK have made it challenging for herbalists to practice and sell their products. Despite these obstacles, I continue to explore alternative ways to provide healing and support to those in need. Whether it’s through herbal remedies, crystal essences, or energy healing, I believe in building a toolkit of diverse approaches to address the unique needs of each individual. Embracing the connection with nature and harnessing its healing powers remains a core aspect of my work as a psychic, healer, and herbalist.
What advice do you have for our readers in search of a psychic?
I’ve noticed that there are a lot of psychics on the internet these days, and it can be a bit overwhelming to pick someone experienced and reliable. When I was younger, the concept of psychics was more mysterious and clandestine, and you had to go to secret locations for readings. Nowadays, with the internet and books on the subject, people have more access to information, but not all of it is accurate or helpful. I’ve had to undo the damage caused by other psychics who approached people in public places and scared them with messages from spirits without providing proper guidance.
I believe it’s essential to approach psychic work with integrity and genuine care for the person seeking help. Reputation is crucial, but remember that not everyone will have the same experience with a psychic, as the connection between the reader and the client matters. Price doesn’t necessarily reflect the quality of a reading, and it’s essential to be cautious about phone services that may have restrictions due to regulations. Ultimately, trust your intuition and do your research to find a reputable psychic who resonates with you.
