HOW IT ALL BEGAN.....

Many years ago, Cambridgeshire based Jacqueline was very afraid of all things connected with the paranormal. At the age of 31 with a small child, husband and home to look after, talking to 'ghosts' was the last thing on her mind. Why then, nearly 20 years later, is she now one of the country's most successful psychic mediums?

During a period of illness, Jacqueline's brother called to see her with a huge bouquet of flowers. She thought this was lovely, but strange as he was not a well off man. The flowers were 'a present from dad'. This alarmed Jacqueline somewhat - her father had been dead for some years!

Seeing Jacqueline looking so worried, her brother confessed that he had been to see a medium and received a message from their father in spirit, and that dad had asked him to bring flowers because of her illness. Although she loved her father very much, Jacqueline was appalled that her brother had got mixed up "with that sort of thing".

However, over the next couple of weeks and despite her fear, the thought kept nagging away in her mind that perhaps she, would like to see this lady "who talks to dead people".

With great trepidation, Jacqueline went to see the medium (Sylvia Pickford). The reading was wonderful and removed Jacqueline's fear that this could be something bad. Her dad, amongst others, made contact with her. Jacqueline realised that there was something in all of this, but when Sylvia told her she was also a natural medium and could do this work if she wished, Jacqueline became worried. With reassurance, Sylvia gave Jacqueline her ring to hold (Psychometry). She had no idea what she was supposed to do, but Sylvia encouraged her to just say what she was feeling.

"Immediately I could 'see' in my mind's eye the figure of a young man in motorbike gear with butterflies all around him. I also felt a brief pain in the stomach region", said Jacqueline. "Sylvia had tears in her eyes. She told me that her 21 year old son had died on his motorbike with injuries to the stomach and that he collected butterflies". Although a medium herself, Sylvia had never heard from her son, who had passed over 20 years before, through another medium and was overjoyed to receive the evidence of his survival that day. A very stunned and surprised Jacqueline was asked to join Sylvia's development teaching circle as a pupil and was to start the following week.

Family and friends tried to stop Jacqueline but something had touched her own spirit. This was to be her life's work, she just knew it. She wanted to tell everyone that we do survive death and one of the first messages Jacqueline received from spirit was "tell them about the JOY". This has been her mission in life ever since.

Jacqueline now lives in Cambridgeshire with her husband and daughter. They themselves are great supporters of Jacqueline's work. "I couldn't do it without them", says Jacqueline.

The rest, as they say, is history. Jacqueline has since become a well-known, respected and sought after medium. She has appeared on television, radio and in the press. Jacqueline is a tutor and teaches regularly around the country through workshops and seminars on all aspects of psychic and spiritual learning.

Jacqueline is co-founder of The Psychic and Spiritual Fellowship based in Cambridgeshire which offers lectures, demonstrations and teaching for those wishing to know more about this subject. All profits from the Fellowship go to charity.

Jacqueline is a Registered Approved Medium (RAM) of the Institute of Spiritualist Mediums
(ISM) which is a respected and well established organisation of almost 50 years standing.

"As they require a high standard of mediumship and public speaking before registration is approved, I feel honoured to have been judged capable of registration of the ISM", says Jacqueline.
