Hello & Welcome        
My name is Ann and I am a Visionary, Angel & Spirit Communicator and Chaneller of Divine Guidance and Messages
You see, I started to notice things, lights flashing in my house, people standing at the side of my bed.  I saw cars, buses and shop windows with words written on them that just called out to me.  In my dreams I would see people who have passed over.  During meditations I journeyed to other realms, saw Angels, unborn souls, recovery rooms for the recently departed and have been greeted by family and other people.  I even had tea with the famous medium Doris Stokes. I believe that when we die it is not the end, that we live on in another world.  Through my writing I am able to share with you what I have seen or experienced as well as bringing back messages
I’m a mother to my daughter Rosie, a lover of art , a writer and novelist and a animal lover who currently has 4 cats, Casper, Gizmo, Max and Dibby.   I like the old classic movies, the 1920’s and love dancing. My era is the 80’s  Being outdoors in the fresh air helps and gives me inspiration as well as my garden which is filled with my favourite flowers
Love Ann
