About Kara

Having an upbringing of believing in Spirits, the afterlife and psychic ability is where my story starts. Since I was very little I seemed to have an uncanny ability of being able to pick up on what people were feeling and what their outcomes may be in any given situation. Seeing Spirits was a normal part of life for me, I thought it was something everyone could do.

One of my favourite memories of my childhood is when I went to school and told my friends how they would have certain colours around them. I could easily see them and I often wondered why they couldn’t see what I was looking at. For a while I was quite the entertainer, but little did I know that at 7, I was actually seeing their Aura.

Seeing Spirits was also just part of what was normal to me, but with it being the 60’s, I was told to keep quiet about my abilities, because people just didn’t understand. While this at times made me feel very different to others, the day came when I realised that there were people around just like me. I’m glad that I’m not 7 anymore and that times have changed. At 17, I went off to learn Meditation which really was the start of a lifetime of study in Spiritualism.

I have an incredible family, all who have different abilities. I inherited the same gifts as my paternal grandmother, father and mother.

I remember as a child, sitting at the kitchen table and listening to my father talk about the Spirits and tell me the most amazing stories about them. He would tell me stories that would scare the living daylights out of some, but I sat there intrigued and wanting one story after the other.

The people in our street where I lived as a child, thought that my mother was a white witch, because of things that she said and did. I think her abilities scared quite a few of the neighbours. Today, psychic ability is well known, but back in the 50’s & 60’s people weren’t as open as they are nowadays.

One of my sisters and I would sit up for hours late at night talking about ghosts that we could see and scaring ourselves that much that we would hide under our blankets.

In 1979 I was very blessed to be married to a wonderful soldier, who is an incredible Medium and Healer. Our children are also blessed with these abilities. So, it is well and truly throughout my family. May I say, that keeping a secret in our family is virtually impossible, someone always knows what it is that is bothering you?

I have been in the field professionally now for well over 25 years. In saying that though, I was raised to have awareness of Spiritualism from birth. In my youth I attended many traditional Churches and a few different faiths so I could seek and discover my own beliefs for myself. I was very lucky to have been allowed to have this wonderful choice at such an early age, but I never left my beliefs in Spiritualism.

About 18 years ago I started my radio career with 4AK Toowoomba. I was an invited guest for an afternoon, and because of the public response, I ended up having a weekly programme for several years.

My radio programmes and writing have always been to help people in the best way that I can and it is a service that I give to the public. The title that I prefer to call myself is a Life Path Consultant. I like to look at a persons Path in life through their Astrology, Numerology, the Palm, the Aura and Metaphysics (philosophy), and give an understanding as to why certain events happen in one’s life, and the lessons that we are to learn here in this school of life.

Helping people to find their soul’s journey and to understand why things happen to them and why they follow the certain paths that they do is an important part of what I do.

We all need to make our own choices in life, and no one person has all of the answers to anyone’s issues. Spiritual guidance can help one to have an understanding of why things happen in certain situations. It can give a clear vision to ones own personal responsibility and journey in life.

My husband Ken and I are Reverends and founders of the Church of the Australian Spiritual Lyceum in Toowoomba. We are affiliated with a recognised Denomination, which is registered with the Australian Government. Altogether, I have been a registered and recognised Reverend for over 18 years.

My greatest highlight and successes in my life are my wonderful supportive husband, our three exceptional children, my family and the many incredible friends that I have made throughout my Career.

Visiting the sick and dying in the hospitals and hospices as a Reverend and Pastoral Carer is also where being a Spiritual Healer can help those who need comfort during their difficult times.

I have had much success in grief counseling and allowing people to talk to those loved ones who may need to get a message across. Mediumship needs to have a sincere purpose from the person requesting the sitting, as it is not our place to disturb the Spirits unnecessarily. Mediumship is a wonderful ability to have and is a favoured area of mine.

To help people to understand psychic abilities (everyone has psychic abilities of some kind) mediumship and meditation, I hold Seminars and Workshops that are easy and simple to understand.

My Grandmother and Fathers Psychic Connection

My Father was born in Helidon and then raised in Grantham Qld Australia. My Grandmother was a natural medium. Her and my Father had a very special psychic connection, not unusual with her Irish background and he being the first born.
When WW2 came, my Father joined the Air Force and became a pilot in the RAAF. He went to Canada and became sick. During this time he was asked to be a trainer, but he didn’t want to do this, as he wanted to get over to England to the war. So he studied to be a Rear Tail Gunner and he was soon shipped to England. On a bombing mission his pilot broke formation, and they were shot down.

Being in the rear end of the Lancaster, he would normally be one of the last ones out anyway, but there was utter chaos and panic amongst the crew as the plane was rolling, spinning and burning in the sky. My Dad had a long haul up to the exit and when he got there he saw that help was needed. Dad risked his own life, in order to help save others who didn’t or couldn’t jump before him. He jumped too late and too close to the ground. Injured, he survived and became a Prisoner of War.

One evening my grandmother heard a knock at their front door, even though my grandfather heard nothing. When she answered the door, there was the ghostly image of my father, who said, ‘Mum, I’m all right, I’m alive’.

No one believed my Grandmother, I’m sure some thought she was just in shock or simply lost the plot, but she didn’t care, because she knew the truth, what happened was very real to her. Several weeks later, she received a telegram stating that my Father was safe and a prisoner of war. On my Dad’s return, he and his mother spoke about their experiences. My Father’s comments to her were: – When I was shot down in the plane and held as a prisoner of war, I knew you would worry about me, so I when I laid down on the cold damp floor night after night, I visualised myself at our front door saying those exact words to you Mum.

Some Past Achievements

  • Before I became a Clairvoyant, I studied and worked in business and was in three commercials.
  • Being on the Ernie and Denise programme as a Clairvoyant was a lot of fun. On top of this I did a pilot for a morning programme as an Astrologer.
  • Working with the Toowoomba Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Institute of Finance numerous times as an invited guest speaker, was a great experience. I am also the first Spiritualist and Spiritualist Reverend in Toowoomba to be an invited guest speaker for the State Conference of the Queensland Wound Care Association, which was held in August 1996. One segment was on Pain and Meditation and the second segment was a demonstration on Clairvoyance and Mediumship.
  • After helping to find a missing aeroplane, I wrote for the Australasian Post magazine. It was an absolute enjoyment to write for them for 12 months. I had a full page each week where I was the magazines Clairvoyant. I would answer questions from people from various parts of the world. My mail was often well over 1200 letters per week.
  • As an Astrologer I have worked on two local magazines.
  • My field has taken me to some extraordinary places to meet some exceptional people, like the police, dignitaries, celebrities, a princess, sports stars, politicians and the famous. I have been in Newspapers many times about various achievements in my work.
  • In 1993, I was involved in the search for two young men after their plane crashed in the Blue Mountains, even though I was more than 1000kms away in Toowoomba. I had a vision the night after the pilot Scott Grezl, aged 21, and his friend Hamish Wallace, 19, disappeared while flying from Bankstown to Forbes to visit relatives.In my vision I saw the side of a mountain, a crashed plane and red and white markings on a wing. I couldn’t see any men inside the plane, so this made me feel that they had either jumped or climbed out of it. In my vision I saw the name OBER in white letters; I couldn’t see the last couple of letters.I knew I had to find these two young men, as time was very limited in finding them alive and this concerned me deeply. I was put in contact with Channel Seven Sydney reporter Peter Ford. I initially spoke to Peter while he was in a helicopter over the Kanangara Boyd Mountains. Peter and his crew were looking for the aeroplane and the two young men.While I spoke to Peter and gave him information on where they were in the helicopter, I was sitting in my lounge room in Toowoomba, over 1000 klms away. Peter kept a list of my descriptions of the area and marked them off as they flew past. I could foresee where they were flying, there were over 100 points taken, none of which I was wrong with.After this conversation with Peter, my husband and I flew down to Sydney to help with the search. Neither of us had ever been to the Blue Mountains before.The plane was later discovered just 30km south-east of Oberon in the Blue Mountains. The bodies of the occupants were found close to where I had visualised them to be.

    In a newspaper article, Peter Ford said, ‘In a court of law there would be no specific proof of clairvoyance or the supernatural, but this was a series of unexplainable incidents which defied the law of averages.’

    I Pray that Scott and Hamish’s family’s know that these two great young men are at peace and have crossed over safely.

  • On another occasion, I was able to assist in the location of a local teenager who had been missing for two weeks. The young man had a problem with his father and had run away from home and hitched a ride to the Gold Coast.The mother brought me a pair of her son’s shoes, I held them in my hands and I felt for her sons’ energy and vibrations. I then had a vision of a beach and I recognised it as Surfers Paradise. I then saw backpackers and a motel. The boy, aged 17, was found at the motel and returned home unharmed.
  • Making appearances at other Spiritual Churches and centre’s as a Medium, Healer and invited guest speaker is always a great pleasure, as I know this helps people by putting them in contact with their loved ones.
  • About 17 years ago I started my radio career with 4AK Toowoomba. I was an invited guest for an afternoon, and because of the public response, I ended up having a weekly programme for several years.
  • I have regularly been on many radio stations since, including 4AK, 4WK, 4GR as an Astrologer and a regular guest on the morning programme. I have worked on the ABC radio, both locally and nationally, City FM, and also 4DDB. I had a four hour Sunday evening segment on Brisbane 4BH, where I talked about Spiritual matters, Clairvoyance and Dream Interpretation.Currently I am a columnist with the Style Magazine in Toowoomba, where people write in to me with questions and I answer them through the magazine. Naturally though, I can’t answer all of the letters, as there are just too many, but I try to be fair and answer the ones that jump out at me. The magazine is included in the Toowoomba Chronicle Newspaper the first Friday of each month. I love the editor, as she is fantastic to work with and is extremely professional and encouraging.I enjoy writing the column, as it is a service where I can give spiritual guidance to those who may need it.
  • Currently I have two C.D.’s out, one on Meditation and the other on the Aura. At present I am working on my book and a C.D. on Psychic Abilities. I am also hoping to put a Children’s Meditation CD out shortly.
