Alberta’s Favourite Medium

Victoria Inn 555 Arthur St W, Thunder Bay, ON, Canada

Alberta’s Favourite Medium
Since the age of 6, Jennie has known there was a whole other “world” out there. Not until her early thirties was she ready to embrace and share with others the connection she has. As a student of Arthur Findlay College in England, she has spent time working and studying with the top Mediums from all over the world. Jennie strives to always challenge herself and her connection with Spirit to know that what, and how she delivers messages is from hard work, constant learning, and the passion for others to always be the best she can be.
If there is one thing Jennie is often told from audiences, it is that she is authentic and the “real deal”. An evening of live readings can consist of both psychic and mediumship messages. When you receive a reading from Jennie, it is a dance of energy you share with her, and during that dance, Spirit will give you what is needed. Readings during a live event happen randomly and although not everyone receives a direct reading that night, she is confident that everyone leaves with their own message from spirit.
Jennie continues to have amazing opportunities throughout her walk with Spirit. She has lent a hand in solving homicide cases, working closely with authorities to be able to give grieving families the closure they needed and helping to put away the “bad guy”. She has worked with families of missing children to help find their loved ones. Her motto has always been “Pay It Forward”, and she continues to embrace this.
Jennie has a larger than life approach to her messages and can always keep an audience captivated by her delivery, and her way of making it a fun and intense experience all at the same time. You will laugh, you will cry, but you will never be disappointed.
