A Personal Statement

Some of you may have found this website because you knew me during my former involvement in mediumship, psychic readings, angel communication, Reiki, or other spiritual healing practices.

I want to state clearly and respectfully:

I no longer offer, support, participate in, or refer anyone to these services.

There was a time when I could have quietly stepped away and said nothing. I could have allowed my past work to fade into memory. But I believe the Lord calls us to walk in the light with honesty and humility.

Scripture reminds us:

“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”
— Ephesians 5:11

I share my story not to criticize or condemn anyone, but to be truthful about my own journey and faithfulness to Christ.

​

My Story

While some people may find it difficult to understand, I share this openly: throughout my life I have experienced encounters with the unseen spiritual world. I have seen what I believe were angels, and I have also confronted very real demonic presences.

Yet in today’s culture, many people no longer find it unusual to speak about seeing or communicating with the dead. What is often dismissed as strange in one form has become widely accepted in another.

 

For me, everything changed when I came face to face with the darker reality of the spiritual realm. When you encounter that darkness directly, you realize something very clearly: the spiritual world is real, and there is only one true source of protection and salvation — Jesus Christ. That realization became one of the most powerful reasons I ultimately walked away from my former work.

For nearly two decades, I was publicly known as a medium and spiritual practitioner. I did not enter that world seeking attention, influence, or recognition. I sincerely believed I was helping people. From childhood I experienced a deep sensitivity to the unseen world, and I believed those experiences were meant to comfort others — particularly those who were grieving or searching for meaning.

​

At the time, I truly believed I was doing good.

However, during a much-needed sabbatical from my work, I experienced a profound spiritual awakening and a renewed surrender to Jesus Christ. Through prayer, the study of Sacred Scripture, and careful spiritual discernment, I began to understand the spiritual realm in a very different way.

​

What I once believed was harmless — or even helpful — I came to recognize as spiritually dangerous.

My decision to leave that work was not sudden, emotional, or reactionary. It was not a passing phase or a trend. This was the result of years of reflection, prayer, study, and personal confrontation with spiritual realities that I could no longer ignore.

Leaving my former work was one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made, but it was also one of the clearest.

​

The Spiritual Realm Is Real — But It Requires Discernment

The spiritual realm is real.
Angels are real.

Demons are real. 
Spiritual experiences can occur.

​

However, these realities do not unfold in the way modern culture often presents them. Today’s spiritual landscape frequently encourages people to seek personal messages from the unseen world — guidance about the future, reassurance from deceased loved ones, or hidden knowledge about life. These desires are deeply human. People long for comfort, direction, and understanding.

​

Yet sincere intention alone does not determine truth.

A practice does not become holy simply because it is labeled “spiritual.”
Truth cannot be measured by how comforting or meaningful an experience may feel.

​

Scripture itself cautions believers to approach spiritual experiences with discernment:

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”
— 1 John 4:1

​

A Personal Observation 

What I Began to Observe

As I worked with clients, I began to notice a pattern that gradually concerned me. Many people were seeking more and more from the unseen realm — additional messages, reassurance about the future, insight into the lives of others, or trying to gain information they should not have. Even when individuals received answers, the desire for more information often grew stronger and more demanding. At the time, I sincerely believed I was helping. My intention was always to offer comfort and support to people who were searching for peace, healing, or understanding. 

​

Some individuals were also carrying unresolved grief, pain, or anger toward loved ones they believed they were contacting. Rather than moving toward healing, the search for further answers sometimes deepened emotional wounds instead of resolving them.

Gradually I began to recognize a deeper pattern emerging. Many people were beginning to approach the unseen world as though it existed to provide answers on demand — certainty about the future, insight into the lives of others, or confirmation of their own sensitivities. In some cases, the desire to reconnect with loved ones became a way of holding onto grief rather than moving through the natural process of healing.

​

Looking back now, I believe something deeper was unfolding beneath what appeared to be spiritual guidance. What seemed helpful on the surface often led people into a continued search for more information rather than the lasting peace they truly desired.

Because the human heart was never meant to be satisfied by hidden knowledge or supernatural messages.

The human heart was created to rest in God.

True peace does not come from seeking answers in the spirit world.
True peace comes from surrendering to God and trusting in the light of Jesus Christ.

​

A Growing Concern

As my concerns continued to deepen, I began to observe troubling patterns within the broader spiritual industry. Increasingly, I saw individuals experiencing emotional distress, spiritual confusion, and what appeared to be unhealthy spiritual attachments after becoming involved in certain practices. At the same time, a growing message was spreading across many platforms — the idea that everyone could become a medium, that everyone was psychic, and that spiritual abilities could be developed through paid programs, courses, and certifications. Many of these courses promised access to hidden knowledge, spiritual power, or communication with unseen realms, often at extremely high prices. The more I observed, the more difficult questions began to arise.

Much of the atmosphere surrounding these teachings appeared to be driven by competition, influence, and financial gain rather than genuine concern for the spiritual well-being of those seeking guidance. Individuals who were sincerely searching for peace and truth were often encouraged to pursue deeper involvement in these practices rather than being guided toward lasting spiritual stability.

These observations forced me to confront a question I could no longer ignore:

Is this truly from God?

Over time, through prayer, reflection, and careful examination of what I had witnessed, it became increasingly clear to me that much of what appeared to be spiritual light was not leading people closer to God, but further away from Him.

​

The Next Generation

Another development began to concern me even more deeply.

Over time I noticed that younger people were increasingly becoming interested in these practices. Teenagers — and sometimes even children — were being introduced to ideas about spirit guides, tarot cards, manifestation practices, and other forms of modern spirituality through social media, entertainment, and popular culture. In some situations, I witnessed young individuals experiencing significant spiritual confusion, emotional distress, or fear after becoming involved in these practices.

These experiences impressed upon me a truth that I can no longer ignore:

The spiritual realm is real.

But not everything that appears spiritual comes from God.

​

Why I Speak Today

Today I speak openly about these experiences because I believe the world is facing a growing spiritual confusion. Many people are sincerely searching for peace, meaning, and truth. Yet in that search, they are often being guided toward practices that promise enlightenment or hidden knowledge but may lead them further away from God.

My intention is not to condemn individuals who are searching. I understand that search deeply, because I once walked that path myself. Today my work is devoted to helping others discern the difference between what appears to be spiritual light and what truly comes from God.

​

As an author and speaker, I share my story so that others may better understand the realities of the unseen world and the importance of spiritual discernment. Because while many things in this world may appear to shine with spiritual light, true peace, truth, and freedom are found in Jesus Christ alone.

 

Recognizing the Deception

Looking back now at my own personal experiences and what I have seen in this industry, I believe that many of us — myself included — were sincerely searching for truth while unknowingly being led in the wrong direction. Practices such as mediumship, channeling, psychic or intuitive readings, spirit guides, angel readings, and forms of spiritual healing that exist outside of God may appear comforting or enlightening. Yet these practices do not lead people toward the truth of God. For many years I believed these experiences were good and helpful. I believed I was assisting people.

But eventually I was confronted with a difficult question:

If these practices were not drawing people closer to God, then where were they leading? And what have I been experiencing since childhood? 

Scripture offers a sobering warning about this reality:

“For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”
— 2 Corinthians 11:14

The Enemy rarely presents himself as darkness in the beginning.

More often, deception appears as light, wisdom, or spiritual insight — experiences that feel convincing and meaningful while gradually drawing the heart away from God.

What once appeared to be spiritual guidance can, in reality, become part of a deeper deception.

​

A Hopeful Truth

My intention in sharing these experiences is not to condemn those who are searching. For many years, I was searching too.

My hope is simply to offer clarity to those who may feel drawn toward these practices while sincerely longing for truth, peace, and spiritual understanding. The desire to know the unseen world is deeply human. But the deepest longing of the human heart is not for hidden knowledge or supernatural experiences. The deepest longing of the human heart is for God. True peace is not found in messages from spirits or secret spiritual insight. True peace is found in the One who created us. The light that truly guides and protects us is not a mysterious spiritual force.

It is the light of Jesus Christ.

​

What Scripture Says

Sacred Scripture speaks directly about these practices:

“There shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination, or tells fortunes, or interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who inquires of the dead.”
— Deuteronomy 18:10–12

These words are not meant to shame anyone. They are given as protection.

Because of this, something that appears comforting, illuminating, or even loving may not originate from the Lord.

I know this because I once believed it did.

​

A Note on Scripture

Some people believe the Bible passages warning against mediums, psychics, and divination were later changed or inserted by religious authorities in order to control people.

I once heard these claims as well.

However, when I began studying Scripture more carefully, I discovered that these warnings appear consistently in the earliest biblical manuscripts and have remained unchanged through centuries of transmission. They are part of the original teaching of Scripture.

The Bible was not written only for the ancient world. It was written for all generations, guiding God’s people until the end of time.

Many modern spiritual movements teach that humans themselves are divine — that we are our own source of truth or even that we are “god.” But Scripture teaches something very different: we are created by God, not equal to Him, and true wisdom comes from seeking Him rather than attempting to access spiritual power on our own. God does not contradict His own Word. What He has forbidden is not permitted for some and prohibited for others. His truth does not change.

I encourage every reader to approach this with careful discernment. Truth does not fear honest examination.

​

A New Calling

Realizing this truth was painful. I carry deep sorrow for the ways I may have unknowingly led others into confusion. Yet God, in His mercy, gently opens our eyes and leads us back to truth. Spiritual deception is real — but so is redemption. For these reasons, and through prayerful discernment, I have renounced my former practices, including mediumship, psychic readings, intuitive readings, spirit guides, tarot, angel readings, Reiki, energy healing, gemstone healing practices, and any form of spirituality that operates outside the authority of Jesus Christ. Sensitivity itself is not wrong. But opening oneself to spiritual influence apart from the Lordship of Christ is spiritually unsafe.

What I once exercised publicly, I have now surrendered completely to God.

​

I am aware that there are television programs, high-profile figures, and many other mediums and psychics who speak confidently about these practices and present them as helpful, enlightening, or harmless. They may sincerely believe what they are doing is good. Some may not believe in the true God at all, and others may simply be misled, as I once was.

However, every person must eventually make a choice. I have made mine. I understand that some people believe I may return to my former work, or that this is simply a temporary season of change. It is not. My decision is firm and prayerfully made.

For me, remaining silent would be a dishonor to God. Because of that, I believe I must speak openly and truthfully about what I have learned. Today, I believe my calling is to help others discern the difference between what appears to be spiritual light and what truly comes from God.

Stay Connected

Resources and books are currently available through the link below.

I have chosen to step away from most social media platforms so that I can focus on the work I believe God is calling me to do. If you would like to continue following my journey, you can stay connected with me on Instagram, company Facebook page, LinkedIn,  or join the Grace Notes newsletter. In the coming months, I will be sharing more about my story and the path that led me here. I am currently writing books and sharing my testimony. This is not a temporary shift or a personal rebranding. It is the result of prayer, discernment, and a deep conviction about spiritual truth.

​

My perspective does not come from theory or criticism from the outside. It comes from nearly two decades spent inside these practices and from the difficult realization that what I once believed was light was not always what it seemed.

If you are currently involved in these practices, please know that I once believed the same things you may believe now. My intention is not to condemn you, but to share honestly what I have learned through experience, prayer, and discernment.

Today, I believe my calling is to help others discern the difference between what appears to be spiritual light and what truly comes from God.

​

My intention is not to attack individuals, but to speak truthfully about the spiritual realities I have come to understand. Truth is not always comfortable to speak, but remaining silent would be a greater compromise.

Not everything that appears spiritual comes from God, and not every light leads to truth.

My hope is that those who are searching will find not another spiritual path, but the truth, freedom, and light that are found in Jesus Christ alone.

My past may explain where I have been, but my life now belongs completely to Him.

A Prayer for Truth

Lord Jesus Christ,

You are the true Light that no darkness can overcome.
If there is anything in my life, my past, or my understanding that is not from You, reveal it and lead me into Your truth.

Guard my heart from deception.
Give me wisdom to discern what comes from You and what does not.

If I have sought guidance in places that do not honor You, bring me gently back to Your path.
Fill my life with Your peace, Your presence, and Your truth.

Let Your light expose every shadow,
and let my life belong fully to You.

Amen.
