For someone who\u2019s hung their shingle out as a psychic “medium,” Sarah Renee is surprisingly “earthbound.”
\nSeances aren\u2019t her thing. She freely admits to “quacks” in her field. And she only charges clients if she succeeds in helping them communicate with those who\u2019ve “crossed over.”
\n“I help people by connecting with the other side in order to bring them closure, clarity, peace of mind and purpose,” said Renee, a 31-year-old Arizona transplant who\u2019s made Pacific Beach\/La Jolla her new home. She\u2019s a practicing, part-time psychic who\u2019s worked about four years doing one-on-one and group readings, as well as “channeling” for those over the phone and on Skype.
\nDiscussing her purported ability to communicate with the dead, Renee calls it a “really special gift.” She claims to be able to bring through messages from people who\u2019ve died, as well as from a “higher consciousness” she refers to as the “Guides.”
\nRenee said there is indeed an “afterlife” with different “levels,” where existence continues.
\n“It\u2019s like we go back to school to learn the lessons we didn\u2019t learn when we were alive,” said Renee. She claims she\u2019s learned from scores of readings that “conversation on the other side is telepathic. It\u2019s really like we\u2019re all souls. We don\u2019t have bodies. We just float around as energy.
\n“They (Guides) say we (deceased) not only experience our own life review, but we feel all the feelings that we inflicted on others,” Renee continued. “If we were good, we experience the joy and reward we gave other people. If we were bad, we abused people or hurt them, we come to know the consequences of our actions, know how we impacted the world\u2026 We do have to answer. It\u2019s just not in the form of instant judgment.”
\nRenee said she\u2019s served a diverse range of people, from powerful CEOs, entrepreneurs and celebrities, to fire fighters, law enforcement, stay-at-home moms, troubled teens, young kids who\u2019ve lost siblings or parents, ex-cons who are trying to get back on their feet, and everyone in between.
\nThe way Renee operates is she “closes her eyes and centers herself,” just kind of “gets quiet inside.” Then, she “tunes into” a client\u2019s “energy,” asking for someone to “come through” for her client\u2019s “greatest and highest good.”
\nWhat do her clients want to know?
\n“Most people want to know their loved ones are OK,” Renee said. “Did they make it? Did they get in? Was it (death) painful?”
\nDo those on the “other side” wish to communicate back?
\n“A lot of people leave things unsaid, that\u2019s the biggest lesson from the dead,” answered Renee. “They want to come through to tell the living, \u2018I love you,\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m sorry.\u2019 Whatever it is to help give them (client) closure. They don\u2019t want us to suffer.”
\nRenee discussed one group reading she had with a man on the other side who died of alcohol complications.
\n“One of them (clients) missed him, the other hated him,” she said. “He came through and said there was no excuse (for him). He was sick. He\u2019d had his own trauma from his childhood. He said, \u2018Please don\u2019t carry on my dysfunction.\u2019 It ended up being really healing.”
\nAnother time Renee did a reading between two sisters, one who took her own life over guilt they\u2019d shared from sexual abuse. “She told her sister how sorry she was for leaving her, and that the abuse was not their fault and that she could heal, and get past it, and justice would be served,” said Renee.
\nRenee typically charges $90 for a session, which is usually done in half-hour increments with individuals, longer with groups.
\nShe doesn\u2019t advertise on Craigslist.
\n“I can just imagine the crazies I would get,” she said laughing, noting she does get excellent reviews from clients on Yelp, adding 90 percent of her clientele are personal referrals.
\nOf her occupation, Renee said, “It used to be scary, knowing certain things about people I shouldn\u2019t.”
\nBut she added she\u2019s gotten over that. “I just thought I was weird as a kid, wasn\u2019t normal. But I had people around me who were very supportive.”
\nRenee counseled others to explore their “gifts.”
\n“I encourage people to really learn what their gifts are \u2014 and embrace them,” she said.
