Stepping into the world of psychic readings can be an intriguing yet nerve-wracking experience. Rosie, a first-time visitor to my office, exemplified this mix of curiosity and apprehension. As she scanned the room, I could almost see her mentally checking off the stereotypical items one might expect in a psychic medium's space.
As Rosie entered my office, her eyes darted around, likely searching for the quintessential crystal ball or mystical artifacts. I chuckled inwardly, recalling a previous client who had asked, "Where's your crystal ball?" Sorry, no crystal ball, pyramid, or magic wand here—just a cozy, welcoming space designed to put clients at ease.
I gestured to the chair across from my desk. Rosie hesitated before sitting down, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. "What am I supposed to do now?" she asked nervously.
"Just relax and be yourself," I replied with a reassuring smile. "Feel free to ask any questions or just talk. Whatever makes you comfortable."
Rosie admitted, "This is my first time visiting a psychic, and I’m not sure if I’m acting the right way."
"There's no right or wrong way," I said, laughing softly. "Just be yourself."
To help her relax, I explained how my sessions typically unfold. As I spoke, Rosie visibly relaxed, leaning back in her chair. Just as I was about to ask if she had any questions, I felt a presence enter the room.
"There's a gentleman here who wants to say hello," I said, focusing on the spirit. "He’s making me feel a pain in my chest. He passed from a heart condition but says he’s fine now and can eat as much chocolate pie as he wants."
Rosie leaned forward, her interest piqued. "He’s a very energetic man," I continued. "He makes me feel like I should be singing and dancing. His name—I'm hearing a hard 'K' sound. And there’s something about a gypsy. Why is he calling you a gypsy?"
"That was my husband’s nickname for me," Rosie said, tears welling up. "Carl called me 'Gypsy Rosalie.' We were both theatre majors in college, and our first show together was the musical Gypsy."
For the next 20 minutes, I relayed messages from her husband, providing evidence of his presence. The joy in Rosie's eyes was palpable. "I miss you," she said, and I felt her husband's spirit reach out to her. In my mind, I saw them embrace. As he slowly withdrew, I heard him humming "Everything’s Coming Up Roses" and shared this with Rosie.
Next, Rosie's parents came through, congratulating her son on passing his medical license exam with flying colors. The session was filled with love and validation, leaving Rosie visibly uplifted.
After the session, I asked Rosie how she felt. "That wasn’t so bad," she said, smiling. "When I got here, I didn’t know what to expect."
"That’s perfect," I replied. "Coming in with no expectations often leads to the best experiences. Expectations can sometimes cloud the messages you receive."
As we stood up, I suddenly exclaimed, "My goodness! You have a grown son who just graduated from medical school? You look like you’re in your late 30s!"
Rosie laughed heartily. "Well, that certainly made this visit worthwhile!"
Psychic readings have seen a surge in popularity in recent years. According to a 2019 survey by the Pew Research Center, 41% of Americans believe in psychics and spiritual readings. This growing interest is reflected in the market size of the psychic services industry, which was valued at approximately $2.2 billion in 2018 (IBISWorld).
Visiting a psychic medium for the first time can be a transformative experience, filled with unexpected connections and validations. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, the key is to approach the session with an open mind and no expectations. You might just find the answers or comfort you were seeking.

Sometimes, I Blush
Sometimes, I can’t believe the words that tumble out of my mouth. It happens when I connect with a spirit that’s for one of my clients... “Did your father curse a lot?” I’ll ask, and get a nodding head in reply. But when off-colour remarks pop out when I’m serving at a Spiritualist church...
No Regret
When my clients’ spirit people come through, they often speak of regrets. When that happens, I remember reading an article written by a palliative nurse: “The Top Five Regrets People Make on Their Deathbed.”
