Are you ready to take your spiritual gifts, as a medium, to the next level?
Have you been through, or are you going through, a spiritual awakening that is wowing you and calling you in the direction of mediumship?
Do you wish you had a space to ask all of your mediumship questions, and to be in community and conversation with other like-minded people?
Are you ready to feel confident enough to call yourself a medium?

Hey, I’m Mel and I’m a professional evidential spirit medium.
On October 25th, 2022, I had what you might call an out of body experience as I watched a famous medium give a reading. It felt as if I knew suddenly that I had mediumistic skills. It turns out that this was the beginning of my first spiritual awakening. Over the course of the following months, I had several experiences with Spirit and began giving free mediumistic readings.
I experienced the roller coaster ride of emotions that comes with this work. One day I’d give my best reading ever and I’d be over the moon when my sitter experienced the positive healing power of mediumship. The next day I’d find myself stuck and wondering if this was really something that was possible for me.
I remember asking myself, “When will I be able to give high quality readings consistently?” I was passionately aching to take my skills to the next level.
I joined a mediumship development circle to practice giving readings regularly and enrolled in a mediumship course that could provide me with more structured learning, along with a space to ask every question that came to mind about mediumship.
By June of 2023, I was working professionally as a medium.
Nine months later I had developed my own mediumship development framework that focuses on five integral aspects of mediumship development. I also began teaching by offering my own mediumship development circles.
Best of all, becoming a medium has helped me to become a better person and someone who deeply enjoys my life.
But there are so many things I wish I’d known earlier on in my development. And while I gained what I needed through a series of different mentors, it would have been amazing to have a live course that took me through the most important must-knows and pieces of education, step by step.
That’s why I’ve created
A live program with a down-to-earth community and straightforward system for mastering mediumship
Speaking With Spirits is a four-month, live program that walks you through the A - Z of everything I wish I’d known about mediumship as I entered my spiritual awakening and felt called to this work.
This live program is for you if:
You’re just beginning your journey into the world of mediumship OR you’ve been practicing mediumship for some time
You feel strongly pulled to mediumship and you’re ready to take your skills to the next level
You feel like you’ve gone through, or are going through, a spiritual awakening, and you’re ready to deepen your understanding of how to speak with spirits
You’re looking for structured learning that takes you through the A-Z of what’s most helpful for a medium to know while developing their craft
Along with practicing your craft you also want step by step education into the many aspects of mediumship development via specific trainings/lessons, exercises, Q&A time, and implementation sessions.
I know what you’re thinking…“Mel, what’s the difference between this live course and taking a development circle?”
There are a lot of differences, but first let me tell you what’s the same!
Both my development circle and Speaking With Spirits include:
A positive and encouraging community
A safe space to enhance your mediumship
Development based on my Mediumship Development Framework and the 5 C’s: Becoming A Clear Channel, Communication and the Clairs, Confidence, Community, and Developing a Command of Craft.
Here’s what Speaking With Spirits offers that mediumship development circles just don’t have the capacity to include:
1) Structured Content
A huge difference between this live course and a development circle is the defined course content that covers the A-Z of mediumship and can’t fit into the format of a development circle.
The nuanced details of mediumship and step by step education is easily presented in this live program format where as a development circle is much less formal and focuses on creating a space to practice without lessons and highly detailed content.
*There’s a special orientation period about the must-knows for approaching mediumship development, including:
How to create boundaries with Spirit
How to ground and protect your energy
Understanding mediumship ethics
Understanding mediumship development cycles
The difference between working psychically and mediumistically
My take on negative spirits and dark energy
What emotionally and energetically sustainable mediumship looks like
Identifying your unique goals and desires for your mediumship development
and MORE!
*You’ll get access to detailed written content and video training lessons that take you through my teachings of the A - Z of Mediumship, (and that I don’t have time to go into in development circle) including:
Detailed lessons for how to understand and utilize each and every clair sense
How to prepare for your readings
The step by step of how to give a mediumistic reading
Seven ways to handle pressure as a medium
Exactly how to navigate readings that don’t work out
How to handle hearing no during a reading and understanding the many reasons we hear no as mediums
Ways to connect with your Spirit Guides
And so so much MORE!
*You’ll get access to downloadable worksheets that list and detail:
Exercises galore for each and every one of the clair senses
Exciting strategies for advancing your mediumship more efficiently
Handouts about how to make your presentation during readings more professional and compelling
Smart ways to find mentors and make friends with other mediums
How to increase your confidence and finally let go of your doubts that are holding you back
Handling challenging moments during a mediumistic reading so you don’t lose faith in yourself or Spirit
plus MORE!
2) A User Friendly Online Community Forum
This is a live program, not a self-study course! Not only will you have in person support from me while I walk you step by step through my defined curriculum, but you’ll make friends and have an online home that will allow you to connect with other students, discuss lessons, share information, and practice your craft with a partner!
3) Homework
You’ll be given assignments to complete between weekly calls to help you stretch yourself as a medium and learn more effective ways to practice on your own. At the conclusion of the Speaking With Spirits course, you’ll have created a workbook — that you can use indefinitely —to strengthen all aspects of your mediumship!
4) Weekly Q&A, Coaching, and Practice Calls!
Each week we’ll have designated time for:
Q&A to answer your questions from the lessons you’ve studied the previous week!
Coaching from yours truly while we work with your spiritual gifts
Time to work psychically and mediumistically so you can practice different and new exercises to expand your spiritual toolbox!
Here are the details!

Why my Mediumship Development Circle is the perfect complement to the Speaking With Spirits Live Course
When I was piecing together my education to uplevel my spiritual gifts, I had enrolled in a course so that I could have structured and organized learning about all things mediumship. At the same time, I was in a development circle that met once a week. The combination of the two helped me to develop much more efficiently. In the course I was able to learn things in a structured, step by step way, and in development circle I’d give, receive, and witness readings that would display in real time the things I was learning.
Here are some examples of how the combo supercharged my development:
I learned about ways to structure a reading in the course and then put it into practice in circle immediately.
I learned how to prepare myself and my sitter before a reading and escaped lots of the drama that I heard about from other mediums.
I had more context from the course about the mechanics of mediumship and that made it easier to understand things like: when I had multiple spirits, when my interpretation was off, when I was being shown a memory versus a current event, etc.
The extra practice time with a mentor present made all of the difference in terms of how quickly my confidence grew.
I became quicker to recognize when a spiritual impression was a symbol versus literal.
And more!
If you’re ready to enroll in both, sign up for Speaking With Spirits below and a chance to snag a seat in development circle will follow!

I’m new to mediumship. Is it too soon to take this live course?
Great question and no, it’s not too soon! If I was going through my first spiritual awakening all over again, this is the exact mentorship I would want. When you’re becoming aware of your mediumistic gifts and wanting to develop them, it’s so super helpful to have some step by step training that gives you not just practice but overall education about mediumship and the mechanics of how it all works!
I’m an advanced medium. Will I be bored in this live course?
I don’t think you’ll be bored! You may be an advanced medium, but that doesn’t mean you’ve had structured education about the many aspects of mediumship. If you’re unsure you can always email me at mel@mediumshipwithmel.com, but I also encourage you to take a look at the detailed list of content shared via the course modules. Click here to be brought to that section of the enrollment page.
If I miss a Q&A/Practice call, are the calls recorded so I can listen back?
Yes, all Q&A/Practice calls will be recorded so that if you miss a call and can’t attend live, you won’t miss the discussion and answered questions! You can even submit a question ahead of time in case you won’t make class. Even if you do attend live, you can listen back to get even more gold nuggets from class. Don’t forget that you can always reach out to other students via our online forum and practice exercises from class.
How is the content delivered? Is it user friendly?
The content is delivered weekly via a video training lesson and text. There are worksheets that accompany most modules as well. We deliver all content on Squarespace with a modern and user friendly course platform. There is a progress bar that let’s you know you’ve completed certain lessons. It’s easy to access the trainings and the course has been designed in a comprehensive manner.
Why is it a great idea to take the Speaking With Spirits live course AND the development circle at the same time?
Great question, click here to read more about why the combo is so helpful for efficient mediumship development!
Is it ok if I ONLY take the Speaking With Spirits course without taking your development circle at the same time?
Absolutely. I’ve designed this course to help you become well-versed in what I believe are the most important aspects of mediumship and you will get time to practice during our practice calls. The combination of the development circle does, however, supercharge the experience and give you more expansive time to put into practice what you’ll learn during the Speaking With Spirits live course!
