Do Mediums Tell You Bad Things?
Ethical mediums do not deliver frightening messages. If challenging guidance comes through, it's always presented with compassion to support your healing and growth. Professional mediums focus on empowerment rather than fear.
What we don't do:
Make predictions about death or serious health issues
Deliver alarming or frightening messages
Share information meant to scare you
Provide doom-based predictions about your future

Will Spirit Tell Me Something I'm Not Ready to Hear?
Spirit only shares what you're emotionally able to receive. Information is given because you're ready for healing and growth, not to overwhelm you.
When sensitive information comes through, it means:
You have the emotional strength to handle it
You're supported in making positive changes
It's part of your natural healing journey
You have the free will to act on the guidance, or not
What Should I Expect from a Professional Mediumship Reading?
Professional mediumship focuses on:
Healing - Messages that support your emotional wellbeing
Clarity - Guidance about your life path and relationships
Empowerment - Insights that help you make positive choices
Connection - Loving communication from spirit guides and passed loved ones
Not entertainment or shock value - Legitimate mediumship is a healing practice, not a horror movie experience.
