A review of the many psychic mediums I've spoken with
This is a review (and explanation of how I came across each one) of the many mediums I have spoken with since losing my partner 14 months ago. Also advice on how to find a legit medium at the end.
1. Julie - She was my very first experience with anything psychic or mediumistic. She came recommended to me sort of by coincidence, just 3 weeks after I lost my partner. She advertises herself as a pet psychic. A friend of mine told me about her and I was intrigued. She was indeed very psychic and said things about my two dogs that were pretty crazy. She said some things about my partner as well, and this sent me down the rabbit hole of finding and talking to mediums. I won't leave Julie's info here because she is a pet psychic, not a medium. And I don't really recommend her unless you want to talk to your pets, she said some pretty wild things, though I was convinced of the afterlife after talking with her.
*Please do not DM me asking for Julie's information, I am not giving it out because I do not recommend her. I recommend Kathi Behrens for pet readings. I have never spoken to her but she has readings posted in YouTube.
2. Kimberly Ray - After talking to Julie I started researching the afterlife. I came across a documentary called "Backstage Pass to the Flipside." I recommend the documentary but not necessarily the mediums in it. Kimberly Ray was featured in the documentary and I had a reading with her, I can't recall the cost. She said some things that were accurate, but nothing that really blew me away. That reading left me with more questions than answers. I don't really recommend her.
3. Jennifer Doran - I found Jennifer through a (somewhat weird imo) YouTube channel called Channelling Erik, which I found when researching Kimberly Ray. Jennifer Doran and Kimberly Ray are both mediums for the channel. Jennifer is my least recommended medium. A medium should never ask you who you want to talk to, which she did. She also asked a lot of questions and gave a lot of personal advice. A good medium shouldn't be asking a lot of questions.
4. Raylene Sousa - I found Raylene kind of randomly through a Google search. I recommend her a lot! She isn't very expensive, I paid $100 for 30 mins to try her out. A few months later, I talked to her again for an hour for $180. Every single thing she said was accurate. She knew who I wanted to connect with and gave lots of evidence that the connection was real. She knew how many children we had (including the fact that I one is a baby and was born after he died), their genders, what he did for a living, what he did for fun/hobbies. She made great use of the time, bringing through information non stop. If you're a skeptic, I recommend dropping $100 on 30 mins with her.
5. Amy Utsman - I wanted to find a really really good medium that could answer very specific questions, and I found that with Amy! I found her through an organization called Helping Parents Heal (for people who have lost children.) I recommend their YouTube channel a lot, they host many mediums for what they call "gallery readings," and you can watch mediums do readings. Amy is $375 an hour and her calendar is only open on a rolling basis, so you may have to wait some months for a reading, but it's worth the wait. She brought through specific information about how my partner died (he took his life but he had some problems with his brain which she talked extensivly and specifically about). If you're looking for a really good medium and have the $375 to drop, she's the most amazing I've found in all my research. You can watch her do readings on YouTube by searching Amy Utsman Helping Parents Heal.
Other mediums I have researched but haven't personally spoken with:
1. Lisa Wilcoxson - I have an appointment coming up with her in a few weeks and I'm pretty excited. I found her through Helping Parents Heal and she seems extremely good. She's $222 for a 45 min reading. You can watch her do readings by searching "Lisa Wilcoxson Helping Parents Heal" on YouTube.
2. Krystal Parry (Blossoming Medium) - My mother in law spoke with her and said she's really good. My step daughter has a reading with her this Wednesday as well and she's going to record it so I can update then. She's only $50 for a half hour, so she might be worth checking out if you don't want to spend a lot.
3. Allison Dubois - She's from the TV show "Medium" which I haven't seen, but you can find her on YouTube as well. I can't recall exactly, but I got a quote from her and I believe it was $600 so I never spoke with her. She seems really good though.
4. Thomas John - He's got a TV show as well, I don't recall the name, but you can find him on YouTube as well. If you watch him do readings that aren't a part of the TV series, I don't think they're that impressive. He brings through a lot of names and birthdays but not as specific of information as I would want. I also think he's quite expensive. I like his show though, where they edit out a lot of the fluff.
5. Tina Powers - She's next on my wish list, but she's $500 for a reading. You can find her on YouTube as well. She's pretty incredible.
--------------------------------------
I lost my partner when I was 6 months pregnant. He is my soulmate, my best friend. Knowing he lives on and is here with me every single day is the only way I get out of bed in the morning. Talking to all these mediums has been so healing and I promise you, it's real. Your partners are not gone and you will see them again when you die. It helps but it doesn't bring him back or make it okay.
I highly recommend Helping Parents Heal, they "test" all of their mediums and you can find a list of them on their website. There is another organization called Forever Families that does the same.
Love to you all.
**Update: since this post I have spoken to the following mediums:
1. Lisa Wilcoxsen - I love her and she confirmed for me that my partner has something wrong with the blood vessels in his brain, something that Amy Utsman also told me. I plan on doing another reading with her, it's been over a year since I spoke with her.
2. Krystal Parry - I had a very good reading with her. She's only $100 and would be good for someone who doesn't have a lot to spend. I think she could use some practice interpreting what she's seeing.
3. Mel Pharr - She was okay. She definitely said evidential things but some things that weren't accurate as well. She has a ton of readings on YouTube so you can decide for yourself. She wasn't very expensive and she did talk a lot about some emotional aspects of our relationship that were accurate and healing.
4. Fara Gibson - She is IT!!! I waited 6 months and spent $400 to talk to her and it was totally worth it. She said such accurate and specific things that nobody could have known, including details about a conversation I had with my son that morning about his dad going out of town for a wedding. She talked about potty training my daughter (which I was at the time) and gave details about the day my partner died, that he left the house in his truck, was near a trail when he died, that he was alone, and found by a male who wasn't related to the family. All true. I haven't really felt the need to talk to mediums so much especially after speaking with her, although I do feel the pull to talk to Lisa Wilcoxsen again at some point. She wasn't as accurate as Fara but I feel like she has more to tell me I can't explain it.
