BEING SENSITIVE
For the most part, I am self-taught. The foundation of my work is based on a deep belief that my talent and abilities were given to me to help others, not to exploit them. The most important components of my growth as a person and as a medium include a strong connection with a higher power; therapy, which helped me to establish boundaries and understand where my space ends and another person’s begins; reading scores of books about metaphysics; and accepting who I am, no matter what the cost.

Coming to terms with, and accepting, who I am as a person and a medium has given me the confidence to come out of the proverbial psychic closet. I did all this before being a medium became what it is today. I am grateful to the brave mediums who, in some cases, had to insist on being heard. The great psychics and mediums who have written about their experiences have paved the way for other “sensitive” people to move forward more unreservedly. Their work provides a blueprint of sorts, and substantiates the unspoken. Most recently, two of those mediums are Allison Dubois and John Edward. Their hard work has put mediums on a new map.

That quiet inner voice that guides and calms is naturally part of all of us and deserves to be honored. Understanding its signals, allowing it to be our guide, and knowing the difference between fear, desire, and intuition are all key tools in the navigation process. It is with this in mind that I wrote The Happy Medium. Being deaf to intuition does not have to be a prerequisite to getting along in the world. If more of us were alive to our senses, the world would make more sense.
