Hi, I'm Elaine

Professional Medium, Teacher, Author & Mentor

Helping people strengthen their connection with spirit, trust themselves more deeply, and develop their mediumship with confidence

I've been working professionally as a medium since 2013 and teaching internationally since 2015.

Over the years I've had the privilege of reading for thousands of people, supporting hundreds of students, and sharing mediumship across the UK, Canada, Europe and beyond.

My approach is simple.

No pressure.

No impossible standards.

No spiritually intimidating nonsense.

Just real mediumship, real people, and a genuine connection with spirit.

Whether you're looking for a reading, wanting to develop your own abilities, or simply curious about the world of spirit, you're very welcome here.

🌿 My Story

I've always been curious about life, people, and what might exist beyond what we can see.

As a child, I was searching for answers long before I realised it. I looked for God from an early age, was fascinated by people, and often found myself wondering about the bigger questions in life. Friends would probably have described me as friendly, a little scattered at times, and someone who always seemed to "just know" things without knowing why.

For many years, spirit felt interesting.

Then it became important.

When my husband Peter passed away in 2008, everything changed.

Before Peter passed, I believed in spirit.

After Peter passed, I knew.

I experienced things I couldn't explain away and moments that felt deeply personal and real. What followed was a journey of asking questions, looking for understanding, and exploring what happens after we leave this world.

The more I searched, the more I realised that mediumship isn't really about proving spirit exists.

It's about connection.

It's about healing.

It's about knowing that love doesn't end when a life does.

Today, that understanding sits at the heart of everything I do, whether I'm giving a reading, teaching a workshop, or helping someone discover their own connection with spirit.

💜 What Mediumship Means To Me

Mediumship isn't about the medium.

It's about connection.

It's about knowing that love continues, that we're never truly alone, and that meaningful healing can happen through that connection.

Over the years, I've seen many people become caught up in rules, perfection, and worrying whether they're doing everything "right". My view is a little different.

Spirit is fluid, not rigid, so my approach is too.

I believe mediumship should feel natural, supportive, and something you can enjoy rather than fear. While evidence is important, it's the connection behind that evidence that matters most. The moment someone recognises their loved one, feels their presence, and knows they've connected, that's where the magic happens.

Whether I'm working with clients or teaching students, my goal is simple: to help people trust themselves more, grow in confidence, and experience for themselves that spirit is real.

One of the greatest joys of my work is watching someone realise they can do it too. Seeing that moment of recognition, confidence, and pride as they connect with spirit for themselves never gets old.

👀 Looking Back I Never Saw This Coming

I'm proud that I recognised my mediumship abilities, took the steps to develop them, and kept going even when confidence was nowhere to be found.

I'm proud that I stood up when spirit called me to step forward and trusted the process one connection at a time.

Most of all, I'm proud that I kept going through some of the darkest times in my life, because without those experiences I wouldn't have had the opportunity to teach, demonstrate and share mediumship with people across the UK, Canada, the USA and Dublin.

The shy version of me from 2008 would never have believed this life was possible.

If there's one thing I've learned through all of these years working with spirit, it's this:

Trust grows through experience.
Confidence grows through action.
Belief grows every time you realise spirit was there all along.

💥A Few Things You Didn't Know About Me

People often assume that because I'm a medium, I spend my days floating around talking to spirit and being deeply mystical.

The reality is a little different. 😂

I'm naturally curious and have spent most of my life asking questions, looking for meaning, and trying to understand what sits behind the things we can't always explain.

I've also been known to be a little scattered at times. My late husband Peter used to ask me which head I had on that day because I could be focused one minute and completely off on a tangent the next.

I'm a proud mam, grandma, dog mum to Luna, and partner to David, who's also a medium. You'd think we'd spend our evenings talking to spirit, but most of the time we're discussing what we're having for tea, winding each other up, planning family days out or even where we've put something five minutes after putting it down (usually his stinking socks!) 😂

I love a good laugh, and never take myself too seriously.

The truth is, while mediumship is a huge part of my life, it's not all of who I am.

At the end of the day, I'm just a normal person who happens to have an extraordinary relationship with spirit.

And if you've ever met me at a class, workshop or event, you'll know there's usually as much laughter as there is learning.
