My mom, the amazing Psychic and healer, gypsy woman.

As a child of a single mother, we moved house many times in true gypsy fashion. But the constant factor which stabilized us was there were always candles and incense lit in the evening, there were always clients seeking out her psychic readings, which meant there was always food on the table for us. And every evening she sat at our bedside and prayed to the angels to protect us all and bring beautiful things into our lives.

Over the past twenty five years I have sometimes helped take bookings for her, and also worked as her p.a . Luckily I'm a scorpio so I was a natural at being business like , where she tends to float on a bit of a cosmic cloud , as she is sagittarius with libra rising with a water triplicity. But I believe the water triplicity gives her the great empathy she needs to do her work. She seems to have a magical way of stepping right inside a person and feeling what they feel, and can very easily cross over and slip into other realms to contact the deceased. She also has an uncanny ability to pick up on people over the telephone. She has telephone clients in London, America, Europe and Africa. Unlike me, she won't do Skype, she says it interferes with her psychic energies. She also does her phone readings on a landline only as she says the mobile phones have radiation that can cause cancer. She eats very healthy foods in order to be a good channel for psychic energy. She visits me at our farm every week to pick from our organic garden and to pick herbs from our herb garden to make healing preparations for her clients. That's because she is also a registered traditional healer, a doctor of traditional healing which is quite an Honour in our country, South Africa.

We were raised to believe that all spiritual paths lead towards the light and she immersed herself in many different spiritual paths by studying Sufi healing, yoga, Hinduism, she studied Arabic enough to use the healing powers of azeemats in her work when necessary , which is a type of energy work using handwritten talismans in Arabic, she studied feng shui , and African traditional
Healing as well as anthroposophical medicine.

Of course what clients like most of all are her tarot card readings for which she is famous. She has appeared on T.V several times, done public clairvoyance, been interviewed on every radio station and in every newspaper here, even in a local newspaper in the U.K which led to an astounding number of bookings when she visited there, she had no less than ten clients per day for the six months we visited there and a ghost taught her how to do crossing over! My mom recalls; I found myself in Stourbridge as a guest of an old friend, as I was strolling down a little lane I noticed a shop with crystals and tarot cards in the window. I went in, there was a little sign saying psychics from wales upstairs last weekend of every month. I enquired at the counter wether I could give card readings upstairs for a few weeks. "No" replied the lady firmly and bluntly.

I returned a few days later, a young man was in attendance. We got chatting, "oh, there's a good reason she said no, it's because there is a ghost upstairs who slams doors and breaks things." "Well, I'm from Africa and we understand these things, maybe I can clear the ghost for you and send him on his way peacefully?". At that moment the lady came in and the two of them chatted, "o.k love, she said, a tad friendlier than the day before, go on up then, if you succeed you can consult from here. Up I went, I set down my bags, lit candles and incense and made myself some coffee in the interleading kitchen. I sat down, I thought prehaps they were just joking. But, just then there was an ominous creaking of the kitchen door and a hard slam shut noise.i casually sipped my coffee, oh well maybe it's just a once off breeze, I thought, although all windows were shut and no wind was blowing. Again, creaking, door slamming and......a mug in the kitchen fell to the floor and broke. O.K I thought, let me begin. I prayed with all my might and main and started to see the man.

He had lived there once upon a time and was an alcoholic. He had died all alone tragically by falling down the stairs after a night at the pub and had left with unfinished business. I picked up that he was very sad because he had lost touch with his entire family and had died lonely and depressed. No funeral either. So i did some special prayers for him and sent him healing. I saw his whole face change, he had just wanted a bit of human love and remembrance, he was radiant now and smiling. Look here, he said, as a way of thanks I want to show you a way to do crossing over. I listened. "You see the candle flame there, just stare at it and the deceased you are trying to contact will communicate with you through the candle flame." I thanked him, and sent him in his way with love and peace. The owners of the establishment were well satisfied that the ghost had been laid to rest! They invited me to do readings there every day. Now another strange bit of synchronicity happened there. My late grandmother was a spiritual healer. Ever since I started working as a psychic a newspaper article would feature me on her birthday. Lo and behold, on 20 October a local newspaper reporter came for a reading, and wrote a large article with photographs in it and with the crystal shops phone number. The phone was ringing off the hook! People came from far and wide for crossing overs by candle flame and tarot card readings. Recently a friend of mine who has a wine farm booked my mom for a day to do readings for her and her fiancé and to clear the old farm house of a ghost.

Yes, my sisters and I took full advantage of having a psychic mom, we used to ask her to tune into what questions would be asked in exams, needless to say we each got several A,s for our A level examinations!

She does not travel so much any more, and does most of her work from a home office overlooking the sea. People contact her from all over the world, and I think it's amazing that at sixty she is able to give of her best due to all the years of experience and still always seeking ways to improve her gift by studying astrology and natural medicines. .
