What Our Students Say
"The instructors take you from not believing in yourself, to taking charge of your mediumship abilities!"
—Mandisa Surpris
"Level 1 Evidential Mediumship was a truly amazing experience and top-notch program. It helped me grow in ways I never imagined. As a result, my connection to the other side has become stronger and more expansive."
—Juliet Bowen
"This class was an immersion into the practices, techniques and perspectives that empowered me and other classmates to truly connect with spirits on the other side of the veil. The instructors' beautiful energy, keen insight and gentle nature supported the ideal environment for all of us to grow as mediums."
—Mike Reagan
You're Seeking More
You've taken some mediumship classes here and there.
But you still feel uncertain about what you're receiving — or you’re craving structured development.
You connect — but not with ease. You get impressions — but don't fully trust them. You've practiced with peers — but second-guess yourself much of the time.
It's not because you lack ability.
It's because many mediumship classes fall short on teaching techniques and individualized feedback — and they don’t effectively address psychological blocks, self-doubt, and mental interference.
Level 1 is different — and the results show in our students' competence and confidence.
Evidential Mediumship Level 1
with Amy Utsman, Medium and Psychic
Five Healing Months of Spirit Communication and Validation
18 classes live on Tuesdays from 7:00-8:45 pm Eastern time
8 "Study Hall" small-group meetings
June 16 - Nov. 10, 2026
Limited to 18 people.
Why Our Graduates Demonstrate Higher Proficiency
Our students develop skills faster and with greater depth than students from comparable programs. Here's why:
Double-Linking and Individual Support
When needed, instructors connect to the same spirit communicator you're reading. In real time, they can validate what you're getting or provide prompts if you're stuck. Afterwards, they can highlight missed evidential opportunities. These teaching methods remove doubt and build confidence.
Psychological Block Work
As you encounter blocks with reading, you'll be supported to understand and heal the fear, self-doubt, judgment that interfere. Most programs simply tell you to "get over" your inner patterns — without showing you how. Our program features ongoing individualized support from a rigorously trained professional coach.
Three Co-Teaching Instructors, Gallery Style
You're not learning from just one perspective. In our full-group practices, every student gets real-time feedback from two professional mediums (Amy Utsman and Sharon Jones) plus an intuitive coach. More eyes, more feedback, faster growth — and everyone benefits from observing every practice.
A Safe Space to Fail
In our classes, it's completely safe to get it wrong, go blank, lose your link, or have no one claim your spirit communicator. We help you stretch, and support you through all of it — because that's where the real learning happens.
Solid Instructional Design
Our curriculum and teaching methods were collaboratively designed by our mediums and an instructional design professional, applying best practices in adult learning methodologies.
The Result
You don't just practice technique. You become someone who trusts yourself, your spirit communicators, and the information received — and that changes everything.
Healing is Part of Our Method
Most schools teach mediumship as skill acquisition. We teach it as personal transformation.
In our program, you don't just learn to connect with spirit communicators. You heal the parts of yourself that have been blocking clear connection — fear, self-doubt, old wounds that make you question what you receive.
This healing isn't a side benefit. It's central to becoming proficient. When you trust yourself, you connect more easily. When you've healed your blocks, evidence flows. When you feel safe to fail, you stretch into readings you'd never attempt otherwise.
And as you transform, something else happens: your readings become healing spaces for others. Not because you're trying to heal them, but because you're working from a place of wholeness yourself.
What You'll Gain in 5 Months
By the end of Level 1, you will:
Connect within seconds — no more struggling to find your link
Hold your link with solid flow — reduced mental interference, greater ease
Trust what you're receiving — instead of dismissing what you get
Deliver specific, verifiable evidence — facts, personality traits, body characteristics, details about relationships, work, habits, preferences
Easily recover from the "no's" — instead of shutting down or panicking
Understand your unique patterns — how spirit communicators use your clairs, what triggers your blocks or anxiety, how you sense relationships
Be ready for Level 2 — our advanced course in professional mediumship practice

Is This Program Right For You?
Level 1 is the right fit if you:
Have completed beginner mediumship training and are ready for deeper development
Feel like something's been missing in your previous training and want a more complete approach
Have practiced but plateaued or lost confidence in your abilities
Level 1 is NOT for those just starting out. If you're new to mediumship, start with our Staying Connected course.
Level 1 is a stepping stone. It builds the foundation you need for Evidential Mediumship Level 2 — where you'll develop further proficiency to become a semi-professional or professional medium.

Got over my big stumbling block!
“I’ve been dabbling in mediumship development for many years through various classes and development circles.
I finally decided to really buckle down and follow an intensive course of study, but my big stumbling block has been an almost crippling sense of fear and anxiety around this work. Can I really do it? What if I look like a fool? What if I’m no good at it after all?
I stumbled across Whole Medium Academy on YouTube and was immediately attracted to their down-to-earth, supportive approach.
Amy, Sharon, and Nancy have been there for us students every step of the way. I’ve discovered that I really can do this and am excited to see where I go from here!"
- Rose
Not just a class — a healing experience
"The space the instructors create is so much more than just a learning environment. It’s a container for transformation, where every part of you is welcome.
They teach mediumship in a way that is grounded, ethical, and deeply human—focusing not only on skills but also on the emotional and energetic aspects of the journey.
You’re never overlooked. You’re guided, challenged, and celebrated every step of the way. This work is life-changing. If you’re even a little curious, follow the nudge."
- Carmen
