If I'm not just a psychic medium, then what am I?
To start with, a psychic and a medium are two completely different things.....a psychic can predict happenings, see your past, and can pick up on feelings & information about people. A medium connects with spirit and can relay information from loved ones who have passed. A psychic isn't always a medium, however, usually a medium is also a psychic. Me personally, I am both, however I do not let the term "psychic medium" define who I am or what I do, as I am so much more than that. Let me take you back to the days when I would have defined myself as being a psychic medium, and then bring you forward to now so you have a comparison....
Just a psychic medium....
Offering tarot card readings and messages from spirit, I would relay prediction from the cards and give messages from loved ones. People would come to me for a reading, I'd tell them what I had to tell and then that would be that, they'd go off on their way, then usually sometime later get back in touch to tell me what I'd said had "come true". Great! That was validation for me and for them. I was getting great reviews and word of mouth quickly spread. At this point I was only charging £15-£20 per reading. This was just a side gig for me, alongside bringing up two toddlers at the time. I was cheap, but accurate, and so people would book a reading "just to see what it was like" or "for a laugh" or "just for fun", and at that time that was okay, as that's all I classed myself as, "entertainment". I would do 1-1's, psychic fairs, house parties, live shows....hell, I even got asked to do tarot cards an Arabian Nights themed function and was requested to come in fancy dress "like a traditional fortune teller"....at that point I declined. It was from here that I realised that this was a joke to a lot of people (not everyone), a bit of fun and that there was no real benefits to my clients - apart from feeling like they needed to hear where to go and what to do, or to have a message from someone in spirit. These people weren't committed to me and what I did, but rightly so, there was no real reason to invest in me, to truly believe in me or to feel like my work had given them more than just a bit of fun or excitement there in that moment.... Don't get me wrong, I did have a handful of loyal clients, whom still to this day stick by me and my work, and have always seen my true worth, you know who you are and I wholeheartedly thank you. You seen me and my worth before I did and I know there are those of you who will vouch for the support and transformation I had given you, back then and up until now. I also think that speaks for itself, that even though I stepped back and took a break, I still have a large handful of loyal followers who have stuck with me since the very beginning.
Fast forward a little from doing all of the readings (literally like 10 face to face on online readings a week, if not more), I got burnt out doing all these readings. The energy balance wasn't right, I was tired, I was drained and felt no joy in doing them anymore. From here I stepped back from my readings, to spiritually and energetically hibernate. It was during this time I took up yoga, began to meditate more regularly and invested myself in deeper spiritual practices and learning. I began to see what was truly out there on another level. What I could really do and what I could access with my intuition. Another world and another way of being opened up to me. I learnt to fully embrace who I was as a person, I found myself and learnt to openly become and show who I had been all this time. Before then I was so worried of stereotypes, of being perceived to be a certain way - social anxiety had been rife for me up until this point. But now I was stepping into being myself. I started to dress the way I wanted to, instead of dressing more "conventionally" like I had done. I became more vibrant, inside and out, I was no longer embarrassed. People knew me for the real me, not some public friendly persona, and in being myself I gained true friends, ones with similar interests, my kind of people, my soul sisters.
Not just a psychic medium....
After doing my own inner work and finding myself, I decided it was time to open back up to offering my intuitive skills to others, but on a higher energy, more meaningful level. I didn't want to be considered the novelty I had done previously. I wanted to be able to provide real guidance and transformation for my clients. Something that wasn't really done with my previous work. I wanted people to truly believe in me and see that I was worth more than just a bit of fun and that I could support real change and enable them to feel more positive, to feel seen and heard, to be able to facilitate their own transformation, and with guidance - to be able to create and follow their path. I was already an accomplished artist, offering portraits and teaching adults and children. I was used to sharing my skill and knowledge, teaching and mentorship was certainly a calling for me. I trained in meditation, healing and spiritual life coaching, combining with the skills I already had. Knowing that there was more for the world to learn, to unlock and to achieve, I stepped into the role of being a messenger and a guide, joining the clan of soul sisters calling people home. I am not just a psychic medium, I am an artist, an intuitive, a healer, a coach, a guide, a channel for the divine. I offer myself with the highest intentions to my clients, with compassion, with empathy, with a real hunger for genuinely supporting the people I work with. I am not a novelty. I am not "just for fun". My clients come to me because of the way I work and what I offer, I help unlock the positives within and to enable you to become your true self. I don't just tell you your past, present and future and connect you with the deceased. I invoke the parts of you that you've either forgotten, or didn't know were even there. Not just through readings, but through soul art, meditation, healing and coaching. I am not the only person out there that does what I do, but I am the only me, I am my own unique combination, and I want to truly thank you for seeing that and choosing to follow me, to work with me and to trust in me. Always remember to step into who you truly are, regardless of fear or judgement. If you are yourself then at least you will be seen as the real you. We often worry that we are being judged, but really we are not, our public persona is being judged, and all too often we pander to that and feed it more. Take off the mask and step forward into your true authentic light. It is then, in your own true energy and appearance that you will have the tools to take on what you need to.
