My Story.

For as long as I can remember, Mediumship and all it involves has fascinated and intrigued me. I have been mesmerised since childhood by people who can contact the dead. The catalyst for me came when I was around fourteen years old and I would like to share this story with you here as there will be a surprisingly high number of you who will be able to relate to it.

As I say, I was around fourteen years old and on this particular night I was staying at my Gran's house while my sister was staying at a friend's house watching videos - or so we thought! The truth of the matter, as it turned out, was that she was actually camping out in her best friend's yard, but we didn't find this out until later.

Anyway, so far it was a normal evening for me. I went to bed after giving my Gran a big kiss - she's a very special lady, my Gran - and that was that. However, during the night I had the most strange, disturbing dreams. In them I could hear my sister, Joanne, shouting and shouting and could see her as well. She was surrounded by flames. Not surprisingly, I awoke screaming at around two in the morning. We all have bad dreams from time to time, and I of course assumed this was what had happened so I got myself together and tried to settle back to sleep, only to be woken a couple of hours later by my Gran. She had woken me to tell me that Joanne had been in a tent fire and was in hospital suffering third degree burns.

I can only try and tell what effect this had on me. It was overwhelming. A bad dream is bad enough, to find that it is actually fact is something else altogether. The implications were vast - this meant that I had literally been a spectator of my sister's misfortune so it meant I had the ability to psychically transfer myself to an event and witness it in real time. This was the first real evidence that I had - although I had not been looking for it - of my Mediumistic capabilities.

My sister underwent skin grafts and remained in hospital for several months, but fortunately she made a full recovery.

The reason I have told you this story is so that you can understand that we are all blessed with this gift but it is a matter of whether or not we choose to use it. At the time, I did not but then I was a fourteen year old boy coming to terms with a monumental experience.

Life went on as normal after this. I left school and began a career in catering without giving a second thought to the events that had occurred two years before. I happily and obliviously worked in hotels and on cruise ships for many years with no reference to my Mediumship abilities.

Then ten years ago I moved to Spain and began running my own bar / restaurant in Benidorm. Again, my life was as ordinary as anyone's running their own business except mine was in the sun! It was then that my life changed completely: I came home from work to find my partner suffering a chronic migraine which would not shift, despite taking pain killers throughout the day. I don't know to this day what made me do it, but I asked him to let me put my hands across his forehead. As I did this, I got the most warming and loving feeling and I could feel a rush of energy through my hands, as if someone was literally travelling through them. Never did I think for one moment that I was actually healing him but, within minutes, the migraine had gone and he was absolutely fine with no trace of pain.

This was the catalyst for me. I started healing family and friends but I needed to develop further, with guidance from an experienced teacher. I found a lovely lady in Somerset who ran crystal Healing courses so I enrolled, achieved a full crystal Healing diploma and registered with the C.M.A, with which I still work to this day.

I also joined a Spiritualist Church as my inclination to work with Spirit was increasing rapidly. I needed to explore it and it was such a natural progression. As time went by I started helping out with Mediumship evenings and eventually I was asked to stand in for a Medium who had fallen ill. Of course, I jumped at the chance! I also started receiving messages from Spirit for people I knew, such as customers in the bar, about their lives and their loved ones who had passed. Suddenly things were moving so fast for me I felt I was being swept along on a giant wave. I needed direction and guidance on how best to use this gift I had been blessed with.

As so often happens with Spirit, help was at hand! A friend of mine was coming to stay with me for a holiday. She is, and has been, a working Clairvoyant for many years. She guided me through the use of Tarot cards and mentored me on how best to work with my intuition and my Guides in order to give accurate Readings. It was all there for me, as were my Guides, as though Spirit had just been waiting for me to catch up. So it was that I started giving Readings and working as a Clairvoyant. Once again my life and my views began to change.

I still felt this was not enough. Something was missing. You see, it is one thing to be gifted, it is another thing knowing how to direct it and use it for the maximum benefit of others and this was what I wanted to do. It was at this point that I learnt about the Arthur Findlay College in Stanstead and of its long standing reputation. This was where I was going to go, and so I did! I enrolled on their highly regarded Mediumship Development course. At the end of the course, I was chosen from my group to give a Mediumship demonstration to the whole college. I was very aware at the time, and I remain so to this day, of what an honour this was and that they would not have chosen me if they had not had good reason. If I had needed proof of my vocation, this was it. I knew that from this day forward my calling was to give messages to people from their loved ones who have passed. I also knew that working on cruise ships was a much easier path to follow than this one, but such is life - you do what you are put here to do, and for me it is working as a Medium, with all its accompanying responsibility.

I returned to Spain and began working solely as a Medium; 1 set about giving one-to-one readings and doing my own Mediumship events, which I do to this day and will continue doing. I work as a Medium both in Spain and the UK. I am currently working throughout the North of England and I also work with the British School of Spiritual Knowledge, covering their organised events (see Events page). I am constantly aware of how blessed I am, always grateful for the gift I have been given.

Since then I have had several radio interviews on Spanish radio, with more lined up in the UK. I have also published articles in both Spanish and English magazines including Vision, again with more in the pipeline and I now have a UK based management team working on my behalf.

I work closely with my Spirit Guides and Spiritual helpers and I am assured of my calling to help and heal people when they need closure and direction to enable them to move on in life. I work very differently from other Mediums. When I work with Spirit on a platform I go and greet the Spirit standing with their loved one or friend and then I pass on the message that has been given to me. My ethics are very strong and one of the things I want to achieve is to remove all the doom and gloom from Mediumship and prove that it can be fun and uplifting. The majority of people want to know that their loved ones are happy when they pass over, so why would you want everyone in tears all the time? After all, if Uncle Jack was a bugger and a sod in life, then it makes sense that he'll be a bugger and a sod after he's passed - if he wasn't he wouldn't be Uncle Jack, would he? People's personalities don't change when they pass over.

Well, that's about it for now. I hope you have enjoyed reading this and that it has given you an insight into my work as a Medium.

Never forget that life is eternal and that your loved ones are always with you, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Keep Smiling,
With love,
