What's the difference between a psychic and a medium?

A psychic is someone who has developed greater use of their “inner senses” (versus the ones we’ve developed for “out there” navigation) to gain insight into a person's past, present, and future. A medium is a psychic who can also pick up energies from spirits on the Other Side and act as a conduit to translate those messages to people currently living in this world. Some of the most recognizable mediums today are John Edward, James Van Praagh, Lisa Williams, Tony Stockwell, Theresa Caputo, and Tyler Henry.

A psychic medium can help bring closure to a person suffering from the loss of a loved one*. They can also tell you, based off your energy, what probabilities may be approaching in your future, in terms of finances, love, and spiritual growth. Again, these are probabilities — the future is never written in stone, it is written in eternal energy, which is something quite different (thankfully).

[*Note however, a psychic medium cannot be used as an alternative to the services of a professional grief counselor. If you are suffering traumatically from a loss, you are encouraged to seek licensed professional counseling.] 

How is psychic information possible?

The inner senses work in the same way as all the other five, but with one very unique difference: they are not confined to the Here and Now. Only the physical senses are designed for that style of awareness. Inner Senses can transcend the moment — moving beyond this particular place and single moment of time. 

Take eyesight, for instance. 

Wavelengths of light strike the retina.  The retina, through a process of transduction, converts the patterns of photons into neuronal (electrical) signals.  These signals zoom back into the brain’s visual cortex, where they are decoded and created into images that we see “out there” — but it’s only the “out there” that is happening at this “BLIP” moment of time and space. 

Similar to the wavelengths of light and the megahertz frequencies of sound, there is a subtle vibration of energy connected with the force of Life, and this energy comes with each individual. Meaning, Uncle Joe has a vibration within the force of Life that is uniquely his own (we could call this his “personality”), as well as Aunt Suzy having her own vibration. These vibrations, through continued practice, can be felt by the nerve structure of the medium’s body and his/her inner senses.  And just as a wavelength of light is turned into an electrical signal by the retinas, so, too, are these subtle vibrations of energetic personality upon hitting the medium’s nerves go all the way up into the sensory awareness areas of the brain where they are decoded into visual images, feelings, and impressions that go beyond just the tiny “BLIP” of a single physical moment and place.  One could call it "S.E.V.C." -- or Subtle Energy Vibration Communication.

Aren’t psychics and mediums just making it up?

It's a valid question—and a necessary one. Like any professional or artist, mediumship demands study, discipline, and integrity. Not everyone who sits at a piano is Mozart, and not everyone who offers spirit communication has the training or ethical grounding you deserve.

I’ve devoted over 25 years to the serious study and practice of evidential mediumship. My path has included formal coursework, international training, certifications, and over a decade in ongoing development circles. This isn’t a gimmick—it’s a calling. And every session is treated with care and integrity.

Aren’t messages just vague guesses anyone could relate to?

Oh, heck, no.  Good mediumship isn’t built on generalities—it’s built on specifics. True evidential mediumship brings through real, recognizable details: personality traits, shared memories, names, dates, even health conditions or private jokes. The spirit world speaks in its own language of truth—and when it’s authentic, by golly, you know.

I’ve tried this before and it didn’t work. What’s up with that?

Believe it or not – me, too!  I’ve been both a person giving a reading and receiving a reading.  Sometimes the connection just isn’t right—timing, chemistry, or simply finding the right medium matters. Like any meaningful encounter, it has to align on both sides. Resonance – yes, it’s a real thing.

What if nothing comes through?

Then you don’t pay a single cent.  Zero.  Nothing.  Simple as that.  If the connection doesn’t happen, then the only thing you’ll have spent is a little time — and even that might offer insight or perspective — but even then, you still pay zilch.
