Wait — was that a ... sign just now?
Are my loved ones really trying to connect with me?
Is there anyone to talk to — who won't think I'm nuts?

Wherever You Are Is the Right Place to Start
You don’t have to be special to sense Spirit!
With our safe place to begin — loving guidance, structure, and fun — you'll soon grow to trust yourself and your loved ones.
So, join us! Have a laugh. Be amazed. And, oh yes! Build your foundation of intuitive skills.
The Whole Medium Promise
In joyful partnership with the Spirit World, we create a healing, holding space where you feel the power of being seen for who you are — all while growing your intuitive skills.
A safe space to learn
Feeling nervous to dip your toe into your intuition? So is everyone else at the start of class! (We promise.)
That's why Foundations is safe, supportive and beginner-friendly.
And if your style is analytical, or you come with a bit of doubt and skepticism, you'll still fit right in. We're grounded and pragmatic, welcoming every part of your journey.
Get the building blocks of mediumship
Learning to connect can feel like learning a new language. The "clairs" are different ways of sensing, to communicate with your loved ones on the Other Side.
We introduce new skills one at a time, in a structured way so you can explore your individual mediumship “clairs."
Healthy boundaries, self-care, and your soul
The better your boundaries and self-care practices, the stronger your mediumship connections can be. We'll show you how!
Along the way, you’ll find yourself connecting more deeply with your own soul.
And, let's deal with doubt!
Doubt about yourself. Doubt about imagination and memories. About intuition and your mediumship connections!
You’ll overthink it. You'll get in your own way.
Your inner critic will have a few choice words to say.
That’s all part of the normal learning process! Fortunately, we know exactly how to support you through every step so you feel empowered, capable and energized.

Love, joy and fascination!
"When I started this course, I could only notice specks of light.
By the final class I was getting full-on clear images and a true sense of the (deceased) person’s personality.
This course helped turn my medium light switch from “dim” to ON.
My experience with Whole Medium Academy has brought more love, joy, fascination and MAGIC to my life and has left me excited for what’s next!"
-Marisa S.

An amazing course to begin your mediumship journey
"It's a perfect blend of instruction, practice and community!
It was so valuable to manage my energetic boundaries. What a gift—not only in mediumship but in everyday life!
With boundaries, I practiced the four clairs and began to make my own connections.
If you're looking for a place to begin your mediumship journey, this is it!! I'm inspired to continue mine!"
