A little bit about me and what I’m about - I’m a psychic, medium, healer and animal communicator. But what does this all mean?

Psychic abilities are best defined as me blending my aura with yours. Why? Because the aura is the emanation of the soul - which means that a psychic reading with me is a soul-soul blend. I don’t often use tools such as cards or similar - I find that the way I work in the psychic faculty enables your needs to be met…which might differ to what you want.

I emphasize that I am not a fortune-teller, my psychic readings align to the here and now as well as identifying your potential.

Mediumship is communication with the spirit world. I shift my awareness to the world unseen; I heighten my sensitivity to blend with the spirit world - I make myself aware to the gentle loving energy and welcome the opportunity for someone wanting to communicate with you. Here’s a fun fact - your aura remains with you in the spirit world….so I use a similar technique to my psychic readings where I blend my aura with someone in spirit as I draw them near.

All mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums

I am also a mediumistic healer - this is achieved by using a similar technique of blending with the spirit world, but instead of an evidential communication, I gently place my hands on your shoulders or your hands (if you are comfortable with contact) and allow the healing energy from the spirit world to flow through my spirit through to your spirit. This is a passive way to work as a medium and the effects can be profound - or you may feel nothing at all for a few days or so.

Healing is an important component of the work that I do - whether it is SEEING and understanding you and your needs (through a psychic reading), providing reassurance and messages from loved ones in spirit, or by the laying on of hands for a specific healing session.

Note: if you would prefer I didn’t lay my hands on you, please tell me - the healing will be effective “hands off” and also if applied at a distance. Also, I’m not a miracle worker - if you have health concerns PLEASE go to a qualified medical professional!

Animal communication - WHAT THE?! (I hear you say)…Once upon a time, I scoffed and sneered at the very idea of animal communication - it was a bit “out there” or woo-woo for me. Then one day I’m working at a psychic fair and all of a sudden I became aware of a horse (in spirit). I was surprised to realise that the horse:

1. could blend with my consciousness; and

2. make me aware of their need to communicate through the clairsentience (clear feeling) and clairvoyance (clear seeing) faculties; and

3. give me evidence to use to confirm that I wasn’t going crazy

It was quite an experience for me, as well as my client but it turned out it was exactly what she needed (and wanted) to hear. All day long I was doing this animal communication for animals psychically (i.e. those here in the physical) as well as mediumistically (i.e. those in the spirit world). Since then, I have continued to work with this skill which includes laying on of hands to understand a pet’s emotional needs or ailments (noting that you should ALWAYS seek qualified veterinary advice if you have ANY concerns).

The way I work with this skill is perhaps best described as giving you a heads up on what to discuss with the vet (if that is needed). I sometimes work with foster carers to better understand an animals’ history, fears, needs, wants and loves.

Not gonna lie - I’m a dog person more than I’m a cat person. I have a reptile phobia (and a cow phobia!) and I mainly do this animal communication work distantly (i.e. I don’t need to be near them, touching them or their items). I’m also highly allergic to animals, so there’s that…

I’ve been working as a professional medium since 2014, however I was aware that I had “something” that heightened my awareness ever since childhood. I got the “prickly tingles” when I knew what someone was about to say or do. I would blurt out information about people that I was never told about (that got to be a bit awkward - especially when I asked my sister’s bestie about the baby in her tummy - in front of her dad…who hadn’t been told the “good news” that his teenage daughter was pregnant) …ooops…I think I was about 7 years old then.

I was also aware of the presence of “someone” or “people” who couldn’t be seen. Admittedly, I didn't understand what I was experiencing at the time and was at times frightened. I also got to the point where I was being bullied for being weird, so I pushed it away, I shut myself down and refused to acknowledge “it”.

Like many children, Karen had imaginary friends - some were simply that…a person whom she created using the faculty of her imagination.

However, there was one imaginary friend in particular whom Karen had a long relationship with - his name was George.

George was present in my childhood for as long as I can remember. I could describe how George looked, the clothes he wore and George was a great friend, support and adviser (particularly through primary school years), George would often talk to me (mainly as a voice in my head), he would give me advice and support especially when I was going through some difficult times. I would often catch glimpses of George out of the corner of my eye, but more often I was simply aware of his presence.

I wasn’t frightened of George, there was no reason to be! George was my very bestest friend who cared for me. Although I did get scared hearing the creaking floorboards up and down the hallway when I was home sick from school. I really could have done without THAT, thank you very much!

I only realised that George might have been a real person when (at around the age of 14) I was shown a photo of my paternal grandfather - he had died a couple of years before I was born. This grandfather was called George(!) and he was dressed very much like my imaginary friend(!!). My logical teenager brain decided it was simply a huge coincidence (even with this evidence) and didn't think too much more about it.

As I grew into a (rebellious, single-minded) young woman (determined to have as much fun and get up to as much mischief as possible) I remained aware of my imaginary friend, George who helped me out of a few scrapes and dangerous situations. By this time, I knew that I was sensitive to the presence of spirit, that I could feel the emotions of those around me as well as heightening my own intuition. I still had NO CLUE what any of this meant, except that I knew I was a bit weird and sensitive.

I wanted to explore my psychic abilities but had nowhere to go to learn, I was unaware that spiritualist churches often offer development opportunities through “home circles”. All I’d had heard of spiritualist churches was that was where “people went to talk to the dead” - Spiritualism is very popular in New Zealand (where I grew up) and there are many churches in my hometown of Auckland.

However, I’d seen horror films and was terrified by the very idea! Images of alters, sacrifices, blood-soaked rituals and “devil worship” were conjured up and that was enough for me to want to avoid these groups at all costs.

Of course, the reality is vastly different when (in around 2006) I discovered the wonderful, healing atmosphere of the spiritualist church when I attended a service in Canberra.

I also experienced the wonder of mediumship when I received a contact from Dad, whom I was still grieving the loss of years after his passing. It was at this precise moment that I truly believed that there was such thing as “life after death” and was overwhelmed by the power of the spirit world and irrefutable evidence the medium provided.

This experience changed my life and set me on a path which would eventually lead me to unlock my own potential and unfold my own abilities.

Fast-forward a few years which sees me graduate from university with a Bachelor of Economics, buy a home, start a new career and generally get on with life.

I was invited by a friend to join his psychic development group - he needed me to make up numbers and I was curious. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would have any abilities whatsoever - it was something fun and interesting to do.

 It was only through this group that I identified that the imaginary friend, the 'knowingness', the visions in my head, the voices and everything else she had put down to coincidence, mental health issues and my imagination or just silliness was actually my own psychic and medium abilities.   

It was from this moment that I knew that I had to work as a medium, that I had found the missing piece of the puzzle - I knew that I had a calling but didn't know what it was…until now. I started demonstrating publicly as a medium almost immediately - her enthusiasm and passion was hard to contain.

I now recognise that this haste meant that the quality and my understanding of mediumship was poor, but it did give me the means and contacts to recognise the benefits of training with the most respected teachers.

I have been fortunate to train with some of the finest, most respected mediums in the world including Paul Jacobs, Chris Drew, Jackie Wright, Natalie Eden Walker and Scott Milligan.

Whilst every teacher I have trained with is excellent and has unfolded a new facet to my abilities, “Uncle Paul” has been instrumental in teaching me the foundations, philosophy, appreciation and skills to continue in my own development. I have trained with Paul many times, here in Australia as well as in Germany and the UK. I hold Paul in the highest esteem and is grateful to have found a teacher who offers the encouragement, challenge, discipline and high standards I seek in myself.

Paul has a way of bringing out the very best in me and it was after my first time training with him that I realised that I needed to review my own understanding of my abilities, how the spirit world ‘works’ and philosophical aspect of Spiritualism. I took a ‘leave of absence’ from the public for over a year to work on my development - it turned out to be a valuable investment of time and effort, my mediumship progressed exponentially and through continued development, I have an even greater respect and appreciation for my role as an ambassador of the spirit world.

I serve the spirit world in many ways - I volunteer at the Canberra Spiritualist Association (as a medium, speaker and as a healer), I’m a member of a spiritualist healing development circle and I donate my time for fundraising activities.

What does the future hold for me?

In 2025 I took the first, tentative step towards developing my abilities in the trance state. This will take a very long time to develop but my world has aligned itself to make the opportunity available to me. I also hope to travel back to the UK to train with Paul and other teachers when I have the resources to do so.

In the meantime, I’ll keep chugging along…offering a range of services which include:

• Private sittings/readings (in-person or virtual via WhatsApp or similar)

• Group readings

• Public demonstrations of mediumship
