In Depth Frequently Asked Questions

In short, I was born with my abilities that came out when I was 4 years old in a profound spiritual experience. I was fortunate to be born into an ethnic group called "The People of the Cures", a Northern Irish shamanic culture that encourages, trains and specializes in specific metaphysical gifts. While some may be good at dowsing (locating water using dowsing rods), curing varying illnesses through energy work and many other psychic gifts, many of us like me have the gift of mediumship. I grew up being encouraged and trained in my gift thanks to my grandparents and family, my grandmother being a renowned medium herself. I also have also spent over twelve years  in two major religious orders being trained in my abilities as well as spiritual counseling while also being in selfless service as well as decades of experience simply being in and using my gifts for others on a daily or weekly basis depending on what phase of my training. I also had a Near Death Experience (NDE) in 2011 that greatly enhanced my abilities in extraordinary ways beyond the typical gift of mediumship. I received notoriety from the University of Illinois' Dept. of Psychology's head in statement while at an event hosted by them at their location, the Allerton mansion, as being a legitimate medium. I have also received legitimacy through various publications and books such as New York Times Author Ashley Jordan's "The Unhappy Achiever: Rejecting the Good Girl Image and Reclaiming the Joy of Inner Fulfillment" as well as being on numerous podcasts around the country. And of course for proof of my expertise and authenticity I have over 700 five start reviews on Google, Tripadviser, Facebook and Yelp that anyone may refer to. I have literally dedicated the majority of my life to honing my gift and utilizing it to servie others just like you!


This is one of the most commonly asked questions before or after a reading with me. The short answer is is that while before my NDE I could, as a medium and psychic, get amazing details about the deceased, their existence as well as thorough messages and predictions, after my NDE the the details were heightened to a whole new level that my clients who have seen other mediums will tell me they've never seen before. Basically, I can see details on the other side just like I see them here. Also, while many with similar abilities may receive messages and details, after my NDE and coupled with my training I can go wherever I need to to find your loved ones, the deceased vs. simply hoping to receive something. That means I can go wherever I need to find without having to wait around to get from so I am not limited to simply 'what I get'. 

As far as what it was like, it was beyond words in scope and profound spiritual connection. I have made numerous appearances and videos to describe what I experience and these are still available on my FB page. At some point I will put more here, but you are always welcome to ask. However, in your own reading and in communicating with your loved ones you will also get to find out from them firsthand and ask questions of them! 


I usually suggest at least a few weeks to a month. While many in my profession say a year, I generally agree to this only if those on this side need that long in their grief to be at the right point for them to reach out. Otherwise, having been dead and gone throught the process myself, I will say that in the transcended state after death we are expanded in consciousness enough to most definitely be connected to and also the deceased most definitely are ready faster than us! Inhibitions, fear and patterns that hold us back fall away during and after death and it is often their spiritual transmissions to us through our subconscious that motivate us to make an appointment to talk to them in the first place! So, if you're feeling a strong pull to communicate with them, chances are they are helping that along and are basically sending you the message that it's time to talk! 


They will all serve you well! I'm not just saying that. Please think about this: if I can expand my consciousness across the Universe to contact, identify in detail and relay communications with your loved one then doing a Zoom or phone call with you a few hours or a continent away is kind of a cake walk. It's also important for you to feel connected, and for some in person works best while others think that's good but will also do a Zoom or phone call too because they'll still feel all the energy from their reading. It's really up to you, as from my side I will still be giving/ sending you al the energy, feelings and blessings from them no matter whether you are in front of me physically or on a Zoom screen or phone and through the ether a few hours or half day away. Energy travels from soul to soul in the space within that we all share as one Consciousness becoming aware of itself. And that's nearly direct as I can say that. So in person, Zoom or phone works just fine.
