My Journey To Discovering I Am a Spiritual Medium

When I often think about psychic mediums, spirituality, connecting with the dead, the other side, or how I got started helping others to connect with loved ones on the other side, or heal, it brings me back to the very first book I bought as a kid. I was probably around nine years old.

It was a book about superstitions, and I’m pretty sure I found it at a garage sale.

I read the book and discovered something really cool about myself and others, and it’s a hilarious story now that I’m writing about it today.

For some reason, I had this belief in myself that I could heal a wart on my dad’s finger. So I got a red string, tied it around the wart on my dad’s finger, took out my chapstick, waved it around like a magic wand, spoke a few words of gibberish, and told him that his wart would be gone. I then took the string outside, said some more gibberish, and let the string go. Wouldn’t you know it… the damn wart disappeared.

My interest in healing other people, psychic readings, spirituality, channelling the other side, faith, and belief continued over the years and naturally grew stronger. I began sitting with myself longer, asking deeper questions, and eventually I got all the answers and the truth I had been searching for, and once you discover it, you just want everyone to experience the same deep sense of inner peace.

Looking back on my life, I can see things so clearly now.  I don't use a magical crystal ball or a deck of cards, but naturally I found people coming to me from all over and opening up to me about death or very difficult situations in their own life.  My natural instinct was to listen, relay messages, to heal, to comfort and I always found that they left feeling uplifted, lighter, and much happier.

My intuition, connection with spirit, faith, my ability to manifest what I want, and my experiences with death and dying have been with me from a very early age, and it’s been in my bloodline for centuries.

My great-grandmother had the same gifts.

She also had the ability to know when someone was going to die.  A crying nun would appear, and she knew the end was near.  She also knew when someone was sick and needed to go to the hospital.  She even knew when she herself was going to die.

As it turns out, this spiritual gift, psychic ability, spiritual connection and divine gift of healing others was passed on to me.  It was during my own scary run-in with a mental health crisis, a dark night of the soul, sickness and my mother’s own cancer journey where I discovered who I really was.  I didn’t quite know what the hell was going on at the time, or how to name it or what it even was, but I knew there was a healing power within me that I was able to connect with and channel.  I had the ability to connect deeply to the other side, write, hear others, read people’s energy, predict outcomes, and connect with my own spirit guides.  It was very real and somewhat unbelievable if I ever shared this with others.  I was able to connect with people who had passed on to the other side, listen to what they were saying, and write it all down.  I was also able to receive messages that I would then pass on to other people.. Randomly.  How did I know exactly what to say?  Spirit would guide me and direct me, and all I knew was that I had this surge of energy that needed to be expressed and released.  Most often and the most inconvenient times.

One day, during a morning meditation, I connected to the other side like I always do every morning, and I was told that my own mother was going to die.  I wasn’t told the exact date or time, but I knew it was going to happen months prior to it actually coming true.

Now, this might seem a little "woo-woo", but something even more magical happened, and I use the term “magical” very differently than most people would, so let me be very clear.  There is nothing magical, joyful, or happy about sickness, death and losing a loved one. That pain is very real, raw, and heartbreaking. It’s the kind of pain that changes a person forever. It’s tough on everyone involved, and yes, there is sadness and many tears shed.  This is understandable because the person you love can no longer be seen. But please know that the magic is really knowing that once they are gone, they are still alive on the other side. Alive, thriving, and well and there isn't a single doubt about that in my mind.

I was with my own mother when she passed away, and that experience strengthened my inner belief and knowing even more.  I was, however, a little scared to share my experience because I didn’t know how it would be received by others, but we've come to the point in my own journey that I can't keep it all to myself and let my spiritual gifts go unused.  If people think I'm crazy, or weird, then so be it.

The day of her death I could feel exactly when her spirit was still in her body, and the exact moment that it left.  After her spirit left her body, I heard my mother so clearly.  I heard her voice, and I heard something else. Whether you want to call it God or some higher power, I heard, “I have your mother here with me.”  And all my mother said was, “Baby bird, I am here, and I am free.”  She was excited, elated, and happy, and as I sat beside her body, I was left with total peace and a tiny smile on my face knowing that my mom was always with me and that I could call upon her anytime I needed to chat.

Since that day, I have talked to my mom daily.  I ask her questions, and even relay messages to my own children when those moments appear.  I also talk to every loved one in my life who has passed away on a regular basis.  Asking them for guidance, giving them an opportunity to be heard, to heal, and to ultimately rest in peace on the other side.  I can ask them anything I need or want to know... And wouldn’t you know it?  Everything has always been spot on.

Over the years as my body has adjusted to absorbing and channeling energy, I have had to pull away quite a bit in terms of how I run my business, where I work, how much time I spend around other people or how much time I am out in public, simply because the energy is so strong and sometimes my body can be completely overloaded and overwhelmed.  Sometimes I experience pain in my body that isn’t even mine.  Sometimes my body can go into a complete panic when out in busy places simply because there is way too much energy in one place.  Sometimes I am warned urgently to get out of certain places and need to pick up and leave fast.  

Before I knew how to protect myself from outside energy sources, I was carrying and absorbing the energy, weight and emotions of others without realizing it wasn’t my own energy.  It was heavy, and can be very heavy at times, if I’m being honest.  

Imagine walking through life absorbing and channelling other people’s energy, insecurities, hearing voices of dead people, experiencing fears, receiving bad vibes, feeling weak and unsafe, knowing what's going on in their life and having panic attacks or fainting because you're absorbing everyone else's energy or unhealed family trauma?  But on the flip side there's also a beautiful positive.  You can be so deeply connected to love and truth that you live in joy, peace, and harmony daily and it all depends on what I choose to invite in.  That being said, I have to be very intentional and wise about which environments I go to and who and what I give my energy to.

Today, I now know what's mine to carry, and what belongs to others.  Today I know how to give it back to where it belongs so it's not affecting me on a deeper level or draining all of my energy.  Today I now know that I can decide what I choose to call in, and what I choose to leave alone.

I can’t fully explain it, and it all seems crazy (except perhaps to my husband), but I am what most people would call a psychic medium or spiritual medium, and I do talk to dead people.  

I know when something good or bad is going to happen and for the most part I alway aim to focus on the good stuff.  I have a deep feeling when something is wrong, an accident is going to happen and I've even knew that someone was going to have a heart attack.  I know when someone needs to get to a hospital, know when someone is lying, and I also know when someone is going to die.  I also know that when someone crosses over, I can connect with them, hear their voice, channel what they need to say, and relay that message to loved ones who are still alive and seeking answers.  

I can't tell you how this happens and spirit can't be forced, but for some divine reason, I am just able to know.  

So where do I go from here?

Well I guess I am ready to be fully seen for who I really am.  

I could keep writing and sharing all of the wild and crazy stories I have experienced over the years, because quite honestly, they really are somewhat unbelievable and wild if I do say so myself.

But, it was after I received word that someone was going to pass away, I wrote down what I channeled, and it was almost exactly what I had heard.  I kept this information to myself, almost as if I needed some extra reassurance that this was in fact the real deal... and of course, it was, and it did happen almost exactly the way I had written it down.

After she passed away, I welcomed her spirit in and connected with her on the other side.  She told me everything I needed to know and told me what she wanted to say to her loved ones.  She also told me this:

“Lindsay, you have a special gift, and you must keep going. Just keep going. You should offer readings."

I asked what I should call my offerings, or a name, and all I heard was this.

“Resting in peace, connecting with loved ones on the other side.”

So that’s what I am doing, and deep down that feels the most authentic and true.

I want to help people to live happy, healthy and purposeful lives.

I want to bring peace, love, and joy to the world because grief can ruin someone's health and life.  Grief is the lowest form of energy, and it can literally cause someone to waste years of their life struggling, suffering or carrying sadness and hurt that no longer needs to be carried.  

But peace, love, and joy?

Well, peace, love, and joy has the ability to change the world and help people truly live, and just knowing that I have this God-given gift to share with the world is truly an honour and a blessing.  One that I can't let go to waste.

Stay tuned for more details about future readings.  I am excited about this, and a little bit nervous too, but my spirit guides tell me that I am more than qualified to do an exceptional job. 

I will be offering private 1:1 readings and Family readings both virtual and in person. If you’d like to get on the wait list for a reading in 2026, you can email [email protected] Subject Line: Spiritual Reading with Lindsay.

Until next time.
