Growing as a Psychic: A Personal Story

What inspired you to discover and develop your psychic abilities?

I first got into psychic reading when I was 15 years old.

I will never forget my first experience with the Tarot cards. The smell of them, their energy. I felt their magic in my bones. As a young child, I spent a lot of time alone in nature with animals. I have always felt a really deep connection with the plant and animal world. I have always communicated with plants, with the animals, with the elements. This was just natural. It wasn’t until I was in my early teens that I realized that not everybody experienced the world the way that I did.

My readings have changed exponentially since I started back then. I started reading just for friends. Sometimes at parties. I have done a lot of study over the years. I’m 46 now, and have trained with some of the best mediums on the planet and I continue to invest in my learning, its ever evolving. We are ever growing in this realm, we will never know it all.

I am a lot more comfortable in my own skin now. I am a lot more comfortable with my gifts. When I was young it did frighten me. Oh, I was frightened by what I didn’t understand. Remember, I grew up like most kids in the western world watching Hollywood movies where ghosts are portrayed as frightening and threatening. The home I was raised in is not what I would call spiritual, and so I had no point of reference and I also had no tools to turn these experiences off.

I am now resourced with strong boundaries. I work within a framework so that I’m not constantly tapped into the spirit world. This gives me peace and time to myself , so that I’m not always actively engaged in what is going on around me. This is been an absolute saving grace.

The Power of Being a Multi-Modal Practitioner

How do your diverse skills and life experiences influence your unique approach to supporting others?

My approach to readings is unique because it’s my own. I don’t think any two readers can be the same. We each bring our own unique skill set, our own life experiences which are all reference points and we all view the world through our own lens.

I am a multi modal practitioner, So I do bring a wide skill set to my clients. In In the year 2000 I became a massage therapist. I studied aromatherapy, touch for health kinesiology, flower essences, Reiki and developed my own method working with peoples bodies both energetically and practically.

I worked as a community herbalist for over a decade. I’m a birth Doula and a death Doula. I worked as a marriage celebrant for a long time as well as being a funeral celebrant. So working within the circle of life , with these rites of passage, supporting people through these transitions and transformations is deeply steeped in my approach and in the work that I do. In the last year I have undertaken a Dip. of psychotherapy and clinical hypnosis as well as embarking upon family constellations therapy training.

These extra modalities are really complementary to the work that I do. I’m particularly interested in trauma healing and I’m very passionate about working with survivors, so these last pieces of the puzzle have been a really important part of my growth as a practitioner. To be able to support and empower people who are really ready for change in their lives – to step into thriving from a place of survival is an honour to witness.

What motivates you to share your knowledge and keep learning in your field?

I’m very engaged with community and run a regular psychic circles. I am the founder of School Of Esoteric Arts and teach people how to read the tarot. I run regular workshops and events connecting people with their innate power and their clairsenses.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have several very influential teachers and mentors.

I really believe that mentors are An extremely vital piece of the puzzle with any professional development. I continue to train every year with mediums who I deeply admire and respect. Ongoing development is a really important part of my work.

Why Being a Psychic Medium Is So Fulfilling

What makes your experiences as a psychic medium so meaningful and fulfilling for you?

There’s so many interesting stories from my work as a psychic medium. To be honest, each day I come home from work after sitting in sessions, I am always and continually amazed by what happens in those rooms.

The spirit world is my greatest teacher. When I’m working mediumistaically, i am very often shown things I have not seen or experienced before. I reflect on each reading afterwards and ask myself what I’ve learned, what might I have I done better, what did I do really well? And it’s through these reflections that I often find really vital elements that help me grow as a reader, that help me to become better.

Just yesterday I did a reading for a beautiful young woman and in the reading her mother came. The connection with his mother was particularly beautiful and the mother was sharing information that had happened since her death, since she has been in the spirit realm. She showed me a child that had been born in the last year to this woman’s sister. She showed me very clearly that this new child in the family doesn’t look like mum, that this child actually has light eyes and a fair complexion. The woman who I sat with said… yes yes that’s that’s my sisters child and and the child looks just like the father nothing like the mother.

This was just a really beautiful moment for both of us in the room and it was very comforting for this woman to know that mum is still with her watching over the family, watching these new babies join the family, she’s doting on them from the other side and giving me really clear evidence and knowledge of the child, who’s had the child, and how the child actually looks and what makes them unique.

I’m just constantly in awe of how special it is to be a part of these connections.There are so many stories – that’s just one from yesterday. The profound healing that takes place in the space really is wonderful. And it’s not of me, it comes through me, and so I actually receive as well. I receive the gift of being able to connect with the other side and There’s a lot of magic and wonder and mystery, and I’m truly, really, deeply grateful that I get to do something that I love so much.

What advice would I give to individuals who are navigating their own spiritual awakening journey?

That’s a great question. Find a circle. join a psychic circle. I believe our best work can happen here in a community of like-minded people – in a really well held and supported space. I would also say to trust your own gut. There’s a lot of teachers out there and there’s no one size fits all. So really just trust your own in inner guidance system and allow yourself to be drawn to the people that feel like a good fit for you.

This time on the planet is huge. We’ve entered the age of Aquarius . Pluto has now left Capricorn and has entered Aquarius. So I feel that it’s important for all of us to have a really strong grounding practice to be bringing ourselves back to the Earth on the daily.

When we are connected to the Earth and we live closely to the Earth, to her seasons, her cycles, we live in harmony, With ourselves and each other.

What daily practices do you recommend for strengthening spiritual growth and connection?

In terms of rituals and practices to incorporate into your daily life to enhance spiritual growth and connection, my go to practice is sitting in the power. I have recorded this practice and it is on YouTube it’s absolutely free if you just Google sitting in the power with Talitha Marie, you will find it and it is by far and away my favourite and most loved and most effective practice. It opens out energetic pathways from above and below, teaches us how to expand our energy and connect with the spirit realm.

How do you ensure a deep, authentic connection with your clients during readings, while also making sure your psychic practice reflects your genuine self and values?

In terms of connecting with clients on a deeper spiritual level during readings, Well this is something that’s just always come naturally to me. I’m highly sensitive, so I’ve always found it really easy to connect with the others and I think because I am pretty down to earth and open and don’t take myself too seriously, people find it very easy to connect with me too. So I don’t really have any techniques that I use to connect with others. I just be myself.

I have a very strong sense of self and I’m very pragmatic. I really trust my gut when it comes to people wanting Readings from me and if I get a strong no – I honour that because not every fit is a good fit. I am a passionate human rights activist, and believe in equality, freedom and human rights for all beings. There is no room for racism, homophobia, xenophobia or transphobia in my world. I simply will not read or offer my services to people who don’t share these values. That’s really important to me. It’s also one of the best things about working  for myself is that I do get to pick and choose who I share my energy with.

Psychic Energy: How to Work with Clarity and Love

How does living in nature support your spiritual well-being and daily practices?

My self-care and spiritual well-being a very high priority in my life. I live off grid in the forest on 350 acres with my husband, our dogs and horses. I live in amongst the trees surrounded by pristine waterways, with an abundance of natural wildlife and flora.

Nature is my greatest healer. I am very fortunate to live where I do. With no light pollution, Noise pollution, No power lines. So I get to restore and nourish on a daily basis just by living here. My meditation practice is an integral part of my well-being.

How do you use symbols in your readings, and what role do they play in your connection with the spirit world?

When I read, i use a lot of symbology. I guess it’s like a library of symbols, so when I’m reading, I am shown symbols I understand, because I’ve developed a language of symbols to communicate with the spirit world.

I don’t try and interpret in my readings, I just relay exactly what I’m experiencing and deliver that to my clients. If there’s something I don’t understand I let them know that I don’t understand it and I still share what I’m experiencing. I don’t need to understand it because that’s for them. And then they often share what that message actually means to them.

How do you maintain boundaries and ensure your readings are focused on positive energy and love?

I wouldn’t say that I’ve encountered negative energies during a reading. I have found myself challenged in readings in time gone by. That was specifically to do with missing persons cases. I decided that was not going to be part of my journey.

I have strong boundaries and I know that the people who end up sitting in front of me are exactly where they are supposed to be… I work within a field of love. I work with source energy so anything that is not from love is not welcome in my space.

How do you approach predicting future events or situations in your readings?

I wouldn’t say that I predict the future. I’m not a fortune teller. I am able to highlight situations, events, choices, challenges, blockages, opportunities that may arise. I will never tell anybody what to do. We all have agency. I believe that when I provide people with choices they generally know how to make the best decisions for themselves.

How do you handle and understand psychic experiences that you don’t initially have an explanation for?

I haven’t ever experienced a psychic phenomenon that I couldn’t explain. I’m a seeker. So I’m always looking for answers. And that’s not to say I haven’t had some phenomenal experiences, But I’ve always been able to seek out the answers or the understanding required To process the experience.

How do you approach working with clients going through a spiritual or existential crisis?

I love working with clients who are experiencing a spiritual crisis or an existential crisis. I’ve been there. There’s an opportunity for breakthrough. Just being with what is, is more powerful than we may realize. Being witnessed in all of our messiness is incredibly validating and empowering. There is no cookie cutter mold for working with clients. Just being aware and present being with them exactly where they’re at, and perhaps offering some tools that may be beneficial, providing insight, guidance and support, whatever that may look like. This is where I really trust in spirit and trust in the tools that I have accumulated over the last 25 years and share them with others.

How do you handle intense experiences?

I think one of the most recent experiences I’ve had that left me changed forever was in November 2023. I was at an event and went to use the bathroom, and as I was sitting on the toilet, my reality completely shifted, And I found myself In Gaza Being bombed by The occupation forces. It was incredibly distressing. It really shook me up. I was literally shaking and sobbing. That experience changed me.

There’s a very distinct difference in the energy when people have been murdered. When lives are taken it’s a very different energy to when someone experiences a natural death.

How do you view fate versus free will?

I think that we co create our destiny. I’m not a fatalist. I believe that when our will aligns with the divine,  then we are consciously co-creating the life that we want to live. Sure there are always things outside of our control, but i feel just handing ones life over to fate is ultimately disempowering.

The Bright Future of Spirituality and Psychic Work

How do you see the future of spirituality and psychic work evolving in society?

The future of spirituality and psychic work is really bright. We’re all spiritual beings. Everything is energy. There will always be a place for this work because it’s who we are at our essence. I think that the role of psychics and mediums has become more main stream, where in the past it may have been more fringe in the neocolonial world.

When you look at indigenous communities Who are still deeply connected to their culture and their old ways, our psychic world, our spirit is an integral part of the tapestry of life –  it’s not separate. And I think as these colonial imperial patriarchal and corporate structures are falling, The more people are being called home to themselves to the Earth to each other to our old ways.

There will be more and more space for tending to the spirit, tending to our psychic world. And I’m so here for that.

I’m really passionate about supporting individuals to connect to the innate wisdom.

We are all psychic beings. We all have access to the spirit world. It’s only through colonization that we have lost connection with our ancestral home lands, with our native tongue, and with our old ways and our old people. And so it’s a remembering. it’s a remembering of who we are and what we came here for, and that is always available to us.

I get really excited to work with people in this way. The remembering our true essence – who we were before all the layers of conditioning, before all of the traumatic experiences, and learning how to access that place to stand in our power to stand in our truth and to be able to communicate that effectively.

Why do you think spiritual guidance and psychic readings are so important, especially in today’s society?

I think psychic readings and spiritual guidance are a really important part of peoples lives. Particularly in white western culture many people are disconnected from the natural world. And that really saddens me. The way this dominant society is structured, That’s intentional. To keep people working, spending and feeding the capitalist machine, it’s by design…

So for someone to be able to come and sit for an hour and get some clarity to get connected and grounded and in touch with who they really are, with all that they are, and understand that as a psychic medium, I’m not special. We all have access. It’s just a matter of having some tools to be able to do that for themselves. that can be life-changing. I’m a big fan of supporting people to insource rather than outsource.
