Ever wanted to meet your favorite advisor? Get to know her or him a bit better? From time to time we will bring you interviews with PsychicCenter advisors. Here is where you can read how they found out what special gifts they have, how they developed their skills, and why we think they are so good at guiding us on our life path. If this interview inspires you, just give them a call.

How and when did you first find out about your 'psychic abilities'?
I didn't really find out about them, it wasn't like that. I've always had them, and always used them. I think the question for me would best be expressed as ''When did I discover that not everyone experienced life the way I do?'' For that, I'd say it was in my early twenties. That's when people stopped just calling me weird and started asking me how I do the things that I do, and that's when I realized people didn't know the things I thought of as everyday knowledge.


How was it growing up with these special skills. Are they natural talents or did you study and develop them?
When I as little, it made for a magical time! I could tap into the energetic movement of my body and feel its connection to all the things around it. I was pretty much fearless as far as trying things, because I could feel out the event energetically before I did anything (it only takes milliseconds). And going for road trips had me flying outside the car leaping in the air astrally. I saw and spoke to many spirits. Sometimes my parents weren't sure about what they should do, but they never told me what I was doing was bad, and they didn't try to stop me. If anything I was positively reinforced.

I suppose it made me old at a very young age too. I knew more than I experienced in life because I could 'see' people's lives, which means I could understand their reality, and by the time I became a teenager, people were calling me 'old' and 'wise'. I remember, when I was very young, I had an understanding about not needing to react to other kids' and adults' emotional games, because I could see when they were just acting out of fear and were feeling insecure.

Do you think anyone can develop psychic skills?
Of course they can. Everyone has some sort of skill in this area. Psychic skills are like singing skills. There are different genres of music that take different skills and techniques. We may not all be amazing singers naturally, but the great majority of us can learn to sing, or at least hold a tune. The same goes for psychic skills; some of us will be "naturals", others need to work at it, others can only get an idea of what it is they're trying to do. If it's only getting an idea about psychic sight, it may be simply because it's not the right skill for them, or they have an emotional or intellectual block. Where psychic skills are concerned, like any other endeavor, different people move to a different beat of the drum.

The secret with psychic abilities is to pay attention to yourself to see where you are most sensitive and start working on that first. People have a lot of misperceptions in the area of psychic abilities. Sometimes it's not the skill you fantasized about, and sometimes it is, but even then it might not be what you thought it was going to be.

What type of mentality do you think it takes to develop these skills?
Simple. Don't question anything, let it be as it is, and don't analyze. It may not always mean anything to you, but for the person it is revolving around it could make perfect sense. I think that's where people go wrong, in their need to understand and interpret it on an intellectual level, a process that can create doubt. If they think they're wrong about the interpretation, then they assume they can't do it. Usually there's nothing logical about it.


Are you able to turn your psychic abilities 'on' or 'off' when you want to? Do you have any rituals to turn them 'on'.
I don't feel as though "turning them off" is quite the right way to put it in my case. It's more like choosing to press the mute button or at least turning down the volume so I can focus on other things. Although, yes, I could turn it off if I wanted to except if there's a strong flash of something, usually something important I should pay attention to, I have no choice but to listen. Generally, it is a case of living the life I choose; I am always aware of my energy field. I never turn it 100% off because I need it to navigate through life. I do not use rituals. I open myself up and automatically raise my frequency so I can do what I do.


How did you get into doing psychic readings?
I quit my job about 10 years ago, and went backpacking through Europe and Egypt for almost half a year on almost no money, all the while, simply facing my fears and listening to my guides and inner voice. I came back and needed a job. I looked in a newspaper, and one job posting stood out, as though the others were blurred out. It was a job as a professional advisor on a psychic network. I said out loud, ''I'm going to get that job'', and I did, after I passed all the interviewing and testing of course.


What happens during a psychic reading?
I generally open myself up to raise my frequency when I read. When the phone rings, and I hear the person's voice, my heart and other energy centers open. I'm drawn into my client's world. I psychically step into the client's range of internal and external experience.

What is your primary tool for divination? What is your specialty?
My empathic ability is definitely my specialty. I don't use it to only feel the emotions of people or animals, but also to get into a client's sense of space, time of day, the tone of an event or meeting, how the people involved feel physically. It helps me recognize the difference between a mask and the real person, their true emotions and their intellectual reactions and defense mechanisms. It's a very versatile tool.


Can you communicate with spirits who have passed on?
When they want to. I'm certainly not a medium, but once in a while they make comments that I pass on. I don't go searching for them, and I don't do it on command.


Is there anything else you'd like to share about your abilities or a good experience?
One day, I talked to a tree. Trees can't run or hide, they simply have to 'be', adapt to nature and survive. I understood the value of occasionally stopping our busy schedules in order simply 'be', and standing still to face our challenges.
