How it All Started

I didn’t always know I was psychic. It wasn’t until my mid-30s that I realized something was shifting—although I had no idea what was happening or why. It started with an inexplicable pull to Buddhist meditation and an urgency to make sense of the afterlife and the ethereal. Spirituality resources were limited at the time (especially in Wisconsin) so I read and absorbed all I could on near-death experiences, the afterlife, psychic development, dream interpretation, and angels.

I was drawn to early television programs featuring mediums, but I maintained a healthy skepticism of Spirit communication (and the afterlife too) until my first personal brush with it. That opportunity came in 2010 when my father died in a tragic accident.

Just months after his passing, I attended my first public demonstration with a regional medium. Of course I was hoping for a personal message from my father, but I also hoped to prove or disprove the possibility of mediumship and the afterlife. The compelling and evidential messages I received that day made me a believer; they drastically expanded my worldview and suddenly changed the trajectory of my life.

At the same time, I was bombarded with shocking physical phenomenon, undeniable synchronicities, profound dreams, and surprising psychic guidance. It all pointed, prodded, and propelled me in one direction: my development as a medium.

I didn’t believe it at first, but the nudges were so relentless, persistent, specific, and often uncomfortable that eventually I simply could not deny it. So, less than a year after my father’s death, I nervously but excitedly attended a college for Spiritualist mediums in the United Kingdom.

My experiences there were unbelievable and magical. I resonated deeply with the Spiritualists’ humble sense of servanthood and their disciplined approach to mediumship development. I was suddenly convinced the afterlife was real and spirit communication was possible.

When I returned from England, I quickly and unexpectedly became a teacher of psychic development. Spirit guided me to start my first development circle, bringing me not only the vision but also several people anxious to learn.

That initial phase of psychic discovery was a mystical and miraculous life period that led me down many unexpected paths. More than a decade since that first powerful awakening, my mediumship abilities have evolved steeply and continue to expand. I am grateful to all the earth angels and synchronistic nudges that continue to guide me, shape my practice, and awaken my soul’s manner of expression. I look forward to seeing what miracles Spirit has planned for us next.
