My Story

I was aware before I understood

I didn’t grow up imagining that I would become a medium.

I was sensitive and aware from a very young age, although I had no language for what I was experiencing. I sensed things other people did not seem to notice. I knew things I could not explain. I also had an imaginary friend named George.

Many years later, I discovered that George was my grandfather, who had died two years before I was born.

As a child, these experiences did not make me feel gifted or special. They frightened me. I did not understand what was happening, and neither did the people around me. As I grew older, I learned that talking about these things could get you labelled strange. I was also exposed to religious messages that told me what I was experiencing was dangerous or evil.

So I did what frightened and confused people often do. I pushed it away.

The experience that changed what I believed

As an adult, I continued to have experiences I could not explain, but I still had no intention of becoming a medium.

That began to change when I attended a Spiritualist church and saw mediumship properly for the first time. During the service, a medium made contact with my father.

The information was sufficiently specific and meaningful to make me reconsider what I believed was possible. I was not suddenly convinced that I understood everything. I certainly didn’t imagine that I had any ability myself. But I could no longer dismiss mediumship as easily as I had before.

Some years later, a friend invited me to a development group.

During that group, I began describing what I was becoming aware of. To my astonishment, the people around me understood what I was saying. The information meant something to them.

It was my great, enormous, slightly inconvenient “Oh. This is real” moment.

Naturally, I responded with all the restraint and careful preparation you might expect from someone who had just had her understanding of life completely rearranged.

I rushed out and started working publicly.

I had business cards. I had a website. I attended fairs and offered private readings. What I did not have was enough training or any real understanding of the responsibility I had taken on.

I thought enthusiasm and natural ability were enough. They were not.

Learning to take the work seriously

Everything changed when I witnessed genuinely excellent evidential mediumship.

The communication was specific, natural and recognisable. The medium worked with confidence, trust and complete surrender to the process. There were no unnecessary theatrics and no attempt to make the work seem mysterious for the sake of it.

I remember thinking, “That. I want to learn how to do that.”

That experience led me to Paul Jacobs, an internationally respected teacher of evidential mediumship.

My first training with Paul was confronting. I discovered very quickly that what I thought I knew was not nearly enough. Rather than flattering me, he taught me how to develop, evaluate my own work and recognise when I was genuinely communicating and when I was getting in the way.

Most importantly, he taught me about the sacred responsibility of mediumship.

A medium is not the star of the experience. We are there to serve as an ambassador for the spirit world. We may be working with someone’s love, grief and most important relationships. What we say, how we say it and what we claim to know all matter.

That understanding transformed the way I approached the work.

For more than a decade, I have continued to train and develop in Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom, including at the Arthur Findlay College. I have deliberately sought teachers whose standards challenged me and whose approach reflected the kind of medium I wanted to become.

The training did more than improve my mediumship. It taught me how to remain curious, how to learn from difficult readings and how to examine my work honestly without making the experience about my own ego.

The spirit world has a remarkably efficient way of keeping me humble whenever I forget that.

The medium I chose to become

I am an evidential medium and a Spiritualist. My faith provides the moral and spiritual foundation for my work, but I do not expect everyone who comes to me to share my beliefs.

I will not tell you what you must believe.

I will not use fear, claim that somebody is trapped or cursed, or tell you that you need me to fix something supernatural. I will not take away your agency or make decisions about your life for you.

If I have nothing, I will tell you I have nothing.

If a reading is not working, I would rather acknowledge that honestly than fill the time with vague statements and pretty words. That may not be particularly glamorous, but it is the standard I expect of myself.

For me, psychic work is about attuning to the person in front of me. It is not fortune telling, and it is not about dictating a fixed future. Mediumship is communication with someone in the spirit world, offered with enough meaningful information for the recipient to understand who is communicating and why they have come forward.

No two experiences are identical. Mediumship cannot be rehearsed, forced or guaranteed. My responsibility is to prepare properly, surrender to the process and do the best work I can with what I receive.

You remain free to consider the experience and decide what it means to you.

An ordinary person doing extraordinary work

Outside this work, I am a fairly ordinary person.

I have a Bachelor of Economics and have spent much of my working life in corporate environments. That sometimes surprises people. There is still an assumption that psychics and mediums must exist somewhere outside ordinary life, permanently surrounded by candles, crystals and clouds of sage.

That has never been me.

I do not wear a spiritual costume. I don’t believe every feather is an angel or every shiver is the spirit world. The world is already interesting enough without manufacturing meaning where there may not be any.

I am curious, direct and highly practical. I ask questions. I love learning about people, mediumship and the history of Spiritualism. I also swear more than I probably should and have a dry sense of humour that occasionally wanders into darker territory.

And then there is Gavin, my West Highland White Terrier, who is my heart, soul and largely ineffective office manager. His adventures have developed a following of their own, which I accept with only minor professional jealousy.

This is all part of me.

The intelligent professional and the medium are not competing identities. Neither are the serious practitioner and the woman making people laugh at the bar after an event.

I am an ordinary person doing extraordinary work.

Where I feel most at home

I offer private psychic and mediumship readings, but working with groups and live audiences has always felt particularly natural to me.

I love the shared experience of an evening of mediumship. Every event is different. I cannot rehearse who will communicate, what they will say or who in the audience will receive a message.

That uncertainty is part of what makes the work so alive.

My job is to step forward, get myself out of the way and trust that the spirit world has it all sorted. Sometimes the result is moving. Sometimes it is surprising. Quite often, it is also very funny.

I want people to leave feeling that they have experienced something genuine and special, whether it confirms something they already believed or simply gives them something new to consider.

You do not have to arrive certain. Curiosity is enough.

Come and experience the work for yourself

You may be looking for a private reading. You may be considering attending an event with a friend. You may simply be curious about mediumship and wondering whether any of this could possibly be real.

You are welcome to explore, ask questions and decide for yourself.

I am not here to pressure you into believing. I am here to approach the work honestly, treat the people involved with care and give the spirit world the best voice I can.
