To make this as helpful as possible, we’ve researched what people are searching for online. Here’s what spiritual seekers like you are asking:

We’ve Heard Your Questions, And We’ve Got Answers!

🔍 The questions we are frequently asked:

  • “What’s the difference between a psychic and a medium?”

  • “Can a psychic talk to deceased loved ones?”

  • “How does a mediumship reading work?”

  • “What should I expect in a psychic reading?”

  • “Are mediumship readings accurate?”

Let’s clear up the confusion with simple, friendly explanations.


🔮 Psychic Readings: Guidance for Your Life’s Journey

A psychic reading focuses on your energy—your past, present, and possible future. Psychics tap into your aura, emotions, and life circumstances to offer clarity.

What a Psychic Can Help With:

Life path & decisions (career, relationships, personal growth)
Energetic blocks (what’s holding you back?)
Predictive insights (not set in stone, but potential outcomes)
Messages from spirit guides or angels (divine guidance)

Tools they may use: Tarot cards, astrology, palmistry, or clairvoyance.

Common Myth:

"Psychics can talk to the dead."
→ Actually, that’s a medium’s role! Psychics work with living energy.


👻 Mediumship Readings: Connecting with the Spirit World

A mediumship reading is specifically for communicating with loved ones, ancestors, or spirit guides who have passed on. Mediums act as a bridge between worlds.

What a Medium Can Help With:

Validations from departed loved ones (specific signs, messages)
Healing & closure (unfinished conversations, forgiveness)
Understanding spirit signs (repeating numbers, dreams, symbols)
Meeting your spirit guides (who’s guiding you from the other side?)

How they connect: Through clairvoyance (seeing spirits), clairaudience (hearing them), or clairsentience (feeling their presence).

Common Myth:

"Mediums predict the future."
→ Not usually! Their focus is on spirit communication, not life path guidance.


Which One Should You Choose?

  • Want life advice, clarity, or future insights? → A psychic reading may be best.

  • Seeking connection with a loved one in spirit? → A mediumship reading is the way to go.

At Heavenly Healing, we offer both—with no pressure, just compassionate support. Whether you’re curious, seeking answers, or healing from loss, we’re here to help.
