Quality mediumship brings profound healing to both worlds.
— Mavis Pittilla
A GROUNDBREAKING TRAINING FOR YOUR SOUL
Do you long to maximize your potential to do good and create profound change in the lives of others?
Do you have intuitive gifts that are yet to be fully refined and realized?
Would you like to reunite the two sides of the veil in love and healing?
Imagine how wonderful it would be to help the bereaved, the lost, and the lonely understand that they are not alone — and that life continues after death.
For those who feel called, becoming a medium who skillfully blends and establishes direct communication with departed loved ones and wise guides is a profound, deeply fulfilling spiritual mission and life purpose.
While you may eventually make a living as a medium, the joy of creating such transformative and liberating experiences — bridging the physical and spiritual worlds and experiencing the profound connections that result — is a reward in itself.
As long as some people carry the burdens of grief, resentment, and unresolved emotions in connection with their departed loved ones, it can be challenging for them to live their best lives.
Yet, through a trusted, evidence-based medium who’s dedicated to serving both the spirit world and the living, a secure and credible connection with loved ones on the Other Side can be established — and miracles of healing become possible.
Through these life-changing conversations, a potent mediumship reading serves as a spiritual initiation that can instantaneously shift someone’s perspective of reality.
As loved ones reconnect, old grudges may begin to dissipate, past traumas release, and unhelpful stories fade. A single reading filled with incontrovertible evidence has the power to dissolve a lifetime of doubt and skepticism.
Accurate information from the spirit world through the medium has the power to shift worldviews, cause defenses to crumble, and profoundly transform lives.
As you develop your skills in serving as a bridge to the Other Side, you gain the ability to dissolve deep-seated doubts and long-held skepticism... and to help others open to a more loving, trusting, and spiritual relationship with the Universe.
You become an agent of deep change, contributing to the evolution in our culture as a whole, while providing personal liberation for individuals. This work and service to others is intimate, empowering, and profoundly beautiful — as any professional medium will attest.
It’s also about healing, understanding, and illuminating the path for others who seek answers.
The Evidential Mediumship Academy — Essentials Training is designed for those who aspire to carry this legacy forward and are ready to take this profound step.
LEARNING FROM THE BEST
The Evidential Mediumship Academy — Essentials Training offers a roadmap to mediumship mastery based on the wisdom, philosophy, methods, and techniques of Mavis Pittilla, the iconic British medium known as the Grande Dame of Mediumship, and one of the world’s great mediumship teachers, before she passed in 2022.
Along with her wife and business partner Jean Else — Director and Chief Executive of the Mavis Pittilla-Authorized Teacher Training Program, and a lifelong educator — Mavis developed a rigorous and robust online training program to guide students through their personal, spiritual, and professional development in mediumship.
The Shift Network is now offering this comprehensive training program, guided by Jean Else and Suzanne Giesemann, Shift’s lead mediumship faculty who was trained and mentored by Mavis. They will be joined by Mavis Pittilla-Authorized Teachers for a robust and unique learning experience.
ABOUT MAVIS PITTILLA AND HER LEGACY
Mavis Pittilla was a luminary in the world of spiritualism and mediumship and left an indelible mark on the field of spiritual communication.
Born in the UK, she found herself grappling with a life-threatening condition and was given only months to live at the age of 27. During this uncertain time, the spirit world revealed itself to her.
A man appeared in her living room urging her to “go find a healer,” his message as enigmatic as his presence. The encounter was so vivid and undeniably real that Mavis questioned her sanity.
It was an experience that would’ve shaken anyone to their core. Yet, for Mavis, the encounter opened a door for her — one she couldn’t close, even if she had wanted to.
It was as if the trauma of her diagnosis had punched a hole in the fabric of her reality, creating a portal to the spirit world. The spirit world then became her ever-present reality.
In retrospect, it’s clear this profound disruption in Mavis’ life was a catalyst. It marked the start of her transformative journey — one that led her to healing herself, and to her lifelong mission of serving as a bridge between the physical world and the spirit realm.
She went on to provide countless sittings, group sessions, lectures, and classes. Perhaps one of her most significant contributions was at the esteemed Arthur Findlay College, where she served as senior tutor and a beacon of light for many years.
Alongside Jean, Mavis dedicated the rest of her life to training many new mediums. Their shared vision was to guide students to become the “whole medium,” as opposed to teaching them only the mechanics of mediumship.
Each student’s unique life experiences, external influences, and physical and spiritual natures were taken into account as they were individually mentored.
Mavis and Jean’s deep understanding of the soul and their commitment to evidential mediumship is what made this training so successful for so many students.
Now, Mavis continues her work from the Other Side, sharing the best of her knowledge about both sides of the veil. In a groundbreaking year-long training in partnership with The Shift Network, Mavis’ wisdom is being offered to a whole new generation.
ABOUT THE EVIDENTIAL MEDIUMSHIP ACADEMY — ESSENTIALS TRAINING
