Honouring our loved ones in spirit
The arrival of October brings the most gorgeous colours in nature, I love watching how the colour of the leaves and the fields change and glow in golden red, orange and browns. Autumn for me symbolises finding the beauty in life as we welcome the slower pace and are encouraged to be more reflective. A time for gratitude and thankfulness, of reaping the benefits and looking back at how far we have come, with the teachings and successes.
Autumn celebrates Halloween – Samhain (a pagan festival), when the veil between two worlds is at it's thinnest. This period of our yearly calendar heralds the shift from the outside world to the inner world. I find that nature mirrors our souls, so as a cycle of death and rebirth, we may be feeling the seasonal shifts in our own lives. Go with it but be mindful of balance. Release, but show gratitude for the learning, nurture, and rest and as nature becomes dormant, allow those longer nights to grace us with comfort and wholesomeness. My boys love the indulgence of hot chocolate and marshmallows! I’d rather Maltesers, but it provide the same comforting vibes.
If heightened spiritually, you may glimpse the other side easier. Let’s honour October, it really is a magical time of year, find magic in the darkness!
What Happens during a Reading
Each and every reading I give is unique, I can outline how it may be but once I have connected to your loved ones in the spirit world, they pretty much take over (as I would expect) as they know exactly what you need to hear. Spirit (your loved ones) know if you need guidance reassurance, love or healing and throughout your reading, they will constantly bring evidence of themselves in the form of their character, personality which fills the reading with their energy. I love the evidence which proves they are around you. They may give date of birthdays, anniversaries, what you have been up to, what is coming up for you and provide loving memory links which proves what they are still around us. I like to describe this as being close but feels like they are in another room. But they are not, they are close! They see, hear know what we are doing and how we are feeling and all they want us to know is that they love us. Love is all that counts. There is no judgement in the spirit world, only love and compassion.
If relationships have been tricky, they may offer apologies or try to help you understand why they behaved the way they did, but honestly, not matter how the reading flows, there is always healing. So please, if you ever wanted a reading but were apprehensive (many people tell me they are), in my experience, there is always love and healing, They are here to guide us, support us, comfort us and prove that life continues, death is not an ending.
News
I have welcomed 2 new additions to my family – Missy and Lottie, 2 beautiful and rather boisterous cats from the Blue Cross. After losing our beloved Olive in the beginning of the summer, Missy and Lottie have quickly warmed our hearts and are keeping us on our toes. Having pets, especially giving them forever homes, is the most wonderful feeling and judging by the cuddles and affection, I think they have adopted us too.
Development Circle – I am thoroughly enjoying guiding my students on their spiritual journeys, watching them grow, learning to trust their intuition, link with the spirit world and for some take their first steps out into becoming professional mediums and demonstrating mediums fills me with gratitude. I have been teaching development circles now for over 12 years now and still get excited to see them work and develop spiritually.
Coming up – I will be demonstrating mediumship at Stow, date to follow. Recently I have been asked if I could read for small groups of friends and/or families in their homes, so I have decided that I will offer these sessions to others. It is a great way to experience messages and guidance from your loved ones, without a full one2one reading which may feel daunting – however after reading how a reading works, you hopefully won’t feel nervous!

Connecting to your Loved Ones in Spirit
Ground – peace within. Spirit is gentle, so sometimes we miss them as we are rushing around or trying too hard
Space and Time – not all loved ones allow their presence to be felt, they don’t want to scare or upset you. When you are ready, they will send you a sign
Look for signs – robins, white feathers, favourite scents or smells, flowers
Talk to your loved ones – they can hear you and you do not need to go to a special place, they are always listening
Light a candle – in their honour, to express love and to remember them
Play music – this raises our vibration and it is easier for them to connect with us when our energy is higher
Feel the energy around you – notice breezes, warmth, tingles, shivers. They are letting you know they are with you

Crystal of the Month
This month I am drawn to the crystal chiastolite
Chiastolite is a powerful crystal with protective energies, helping to ward off negative vibes. Look at the amazing distinctive cross pattern – it is called ‘The Cross Stone’ sometimes for this reason. A superb crystal for meditation, grounding (linked to our root chakra) and helps to bring us mental and emotional peace and clarity. Chiastolite encourages us in our spiritual growth, it is often a crystal used to connect us with past life memories and is wonderful to keep nearby for self-healing.
Tree Wisdom
Horse Chestnut
These gorgeous, sturdy magnificent trees bring many lessons to us all. Year after year, these generous providers bring a wealth of nuts – chestnuts/conkers for use and the animal kingdom. Steeped in all our childhoods, collecting conkers was one of my favourite pastimes, I just marvelled at finding the big shiny, glossy treasures. Sometimes we would thread them to play with or I would put them on my window sill (just as I do crystals today), their energy filling my room, reminding me of being surrounded by nature.
The Horse Chestnut symbolises not just abundance and prosperity, but stability, reliability, kindness and nourishment. Giving each season, year after year, it holds the energy of peace, longevity. They are beautiful trees, their colours mesmerising in autumn as their leaves slowly change which displays their grace and beauty.
I heard conkers ward off spiders too, so another win for me as I am so scared of them!
What I am offering in October
1:1 Readings – Guidance, reassurance, love and healing - this is how I would describe my readings. During the reading I will connect you with your loved ones in the Spirit World, bringing through evidential evidence and sharing messages of love, hope, understanding and guidance.
Past Life Regression - Finding out who you have been in a Past Life is not only interesting but can help you identify repetitive emotional and behavioural patterns, it could be the reason you are attracted to certain people (positive and negative) or could be the reason you are feeling blocked in your current situation.
Past Life Regression can be an amazing revelation, helping you to understand who you are and the lessons you have learnt along the way. It can bring wisdom and the realisation to set free any Karma you no longer need to hold on to.
Bespoke Spiritual Guidance for working mediums - If you are a working medium and have hit some blocks or stumbles along the way and are possibly questioning your gifts, then maybe a session to ‘untangle’ and get re-aligned is what you need. Maybe you simply want to develop and strengthen your gifts and prefer to do this under 1:1 supervision.
Meditation Group – Join me on this beautiful mediation course where I will guide you through various breathing and relaxation techniques to help you find inner peace, calm and tranquillity. Each week I will take you on a different guided journey to deepen the relaxation of the mind, body and soul before finishing with some spiritual and sound healing.
Soul Healing – I offer a range of healing modalities from Reiki, Rahanni, crystal and spiritual. Each are wonderfully beneficial for the mind, body (physical) and soul.
Collective Healing – With the amazing benefits of ‘Collective Healing,’ healing together boosts the wonderful energy making it stronger and more powerful. Our weekly gathering of beautiful souls join together in sending healing to many people in need of physical, emotional, mental or spiritual healing.
NEW – Mini Demonstrations – I am now offering mini demonstrations for up to 5 people (minimum of 3) in your own home.
If you have anyone who you wish to add to my healing list, please do send me their name and I will include them in my daily practice along with the weekly practice.
