You Don’t Have to Go it Alone
The most rewarding part of my job is helping people through their grief journey. As an evidential medium, I am able to provide validations of your loved ones’ continued presence in your life, as well as provide reassurance that both consciousness and love survive physical death. After a successful reading most people report feeling lighter, as if a weight has been lifted, but there is no magic pill for grief... and there is often more healing to be done. I created this page to provide additional resources for those who may need support as they continue the path to healing, which can feel at times like pushing a heavy boulder uphill.
