I am a Spiritual Medium and Reiki Healer/Teacher and have been aware of my psychic gifts since I was a child. However, like many mediums or psychics, I did not consciously recognize how to use these gifts until much later. I finally came to recognize them when I reached my middle twenties and predicted many incidents, which were avoided due to forewarnings.

I have also been graced with the gift of automatic writing. Faced with a particularly stressful time in my life, I found myself one lonely evening, writing automatically. The message that came through was clear and evident -- I had to keep studying to learn more about these gifts from God.

I am also a member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals and the American Board of Reiki. While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion nor dependent upon belief. Neither is the practice of Mediumship. Both will work whether one believes in it or not, because higher realm communication and the energy of healing comes from our Creator. We discover our own individual guidance. The practitioner simply provides the roadmap to find the way and a safe place in which to do so. I believe in our innate ability to heal ourselves through our soul knowledge, and will call upon the spirit guides of my clients to assist and form a healing energy for them to carry with them after the healing process is completed from my end.

Before an appointment or an E-mail Reading with you, I will meditate up to one hour. I will receive visions, hear messages from Spirit and then, if called to do so, will automatically write down what is necessary. This is important, and is the main reason why I will ask for a problem that is troubling you ahead of time. I do not believe in wasting money in a chat room or on the telephone to get to the heart of the problem. I believe my gift is to be used ethically, or not at all. However, that is not to say that those who do are not genuine. The total time taken for one E-mail reading can be up to two hours at a minimum, for I not only want to meditate on the problem, but then I must decipher my notes afterward. I will compose a message with your reading containing up to 1,000 (or more) words. A personal session will last approximately one hour.

I listen carefully when I counsel, believing that what might be considered to others as destructive behavior might rather be, on some deeper level, the Source telling the physical body to sit up and listen -- to feel the pain, recognize it, and to then deconstruct or unravel the reasons for this behavior.

I am available 24 hours a day via E-Mail and by appointment for personal sessions.

Distant Readings, Healings and Counseling is the same as a personal one-on-one sessions at $75.

I also offer Reiki Training in all Reiki levels (Reiki I, II, Advanced and Master Teacher). Contact me for rates.

Julie writes: "Deirdre put me in touch with one of my Spirit Guides who turned out to be my great grandmother who I never knew. She told me that she was from Czechoslovakia, described her clothing, and said that she had lived by a river, which had blue cornflowers nearby. This was all correct information that I did not have any knowledge of until I checked with my mother, who confirmed every detail. She has also helped me physically with her healing energy ."

Cathleen writes: "All I can say is 'WOW!'. I am still going over what you sent and will take it home tonight to absorb it since there is so much imagery and information. However, I just have to share with you that I cracked up laughing over the 'mares eat oats and does eat oats and so on'. My mother used to sing this refrain to my sister and I and we all used to sing it over and over. It was one of my mother's favorite nursery songs to sing to and with us. I feel strongly you were picking up on my mother's presence."

Gwyn writes: "Thank you very much for your incredible message. Almost every sentence strikes me so much, even the very first message like 'you truly need more inspiration, not only in your studies, but also in your life.' Yes, it's what was happening to me in the past few weeks -- I was lacking of energy and power on both study and my living. Deirdre, thank you very much again. Without you, I may have lived a life in suffering. I really believe in you and your advice and the advice from your angels. I will follow all of that and I will let you know from time to time about this."

Rosalinda writes: "Thank you so much for my reading. I get as much pleasure and joy reading it as I feel you get meditating for me."

Sue writes: "You were right on. I had so much pain the other day....I've been doing the exercise and it is helping. Wow. You got my Aunt's name. Interesting. My mom's sister. And.... my great aunt.....and her son, who was killed suddenly.... he was her favorite. Yes I would like to have another reading. Very cool to get these names. Just too many to be a coincidence."

Maggie writes: "Oh how can I thank you!? This is so important to me -- how many times did [he] say to me [when he was alive] 'when we were good, we were really really good..' And that I was fantastic, and to be good. Just Monday night I was talking to him, and asking for a sign, some way to know he's ok, that it's ok. And I just prayed to be open to it, tho I didn't know what I expected. Then I sort of forgot about my request. And here you are, just a short time later with this. It gives me hope, consolation, and many many tears. God has so blessed me to be connected to you. I am so so deeply grateful. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

Jane writes: "What a gift! This is absolutely amazing and so unexpected. I keep re-reading it and finding more in it. Thank you so much for putting yourself into the channel for me and I know [he] thanks you also for helping him get word through to me. It really helps me forgive and move on to sending him positive energy and thoughts now."

Deirdre is also a huge advocate of healthy, nutritious and whole foods. She is a distributor for the Wholefood Farmacy and highly recommends their snack foods and smoothies to keep the hunger pangs away while dieting. Here is a report that turned her on to this wonderful company:

Low-fat Vegan Diet vs. American Diabetes Association Diet

Wellness Wednesday - - Let Food Be Thy Medicine

According to a new report published in Diabetes Care, a journal published by the American Diabetes Association, people who ate a low-fat vegan diet, cutting out all meat and dairy, lowered their blood sugar more and lost more weight than people on a standard American Diabetes Association diet. Participants say the vegan diet was easier to follow than most because they did not measure portions or count calories. Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine, which helped conduct the study said, "I hope this study will rekindle interest in using diet changes first, rather than prescription drugs."

After 22 weeks on the diet, 43 percent of those on the vegan diet and 26 percent of those on the standard diet were either able to stop taking some of their drugs such as insulin or glucose-control medications, or were able to lower the doses. In other words, food really can be your medicine. The vegan dieters lost 14 pounds on average while the diabetes association dieters lost 6.8 pounds. An important level of glucose control called A1c fell by 1.23 points in the vegan group and by 0.38 in the group on the standard diet. A1c gives a measure of how well-controlled blood sugar has been over the preceding three months. Small changes made now can make a BIG difference later, when it comes to educating your children and teaching them to steer clear of type-2 diabetes.
