I had a 90-minute session with Barbara, and I was absolutely blown away. She came into the reading without knowing anything about me—not my story, not my background, nothing. And yet, as soon as we started, she shared details about my life that nobody could have possibly known. These were things I’ve never shared publicly, and the accuracy was almost unbelievable.
Barbara didn’t ask me to give her any information or even respond—she simply let the messages flow, and everything she said was spot on. Not only did she reflect back things from my life with incredible precision, but she also shared insights about my future that felt both powerful and deeply aligned.
The energy throughout the session was beautiful, calm, and transformative. What Barbara did for me was truly amazing, and I walked away feeling both seen and inspired.
I highly, highly recommend booking a reading with Barbara if you ever get the chance. Don’t hesitate—just do it. She has a gift that can truly change your life.

Through Barbs guidance as a Spiritual Mentor, I was able to find clarity and answers I’d been looking for. Barb is an amazing psychic and medium, with the truly powerful skill of storytelling to help to guide you. I highly recommend working with Barb if you are looking for someone to be your Spiritual Mentor both personally and/or within your business. Her connections to the spirit world is strong and clear and her advice is extremely valuable and steeped in wisdom.
