Hi Joanne,

I just wanted to thank you for the reading on Wednesday. It was very uplifting.

Hi Joanne,

My name is Linda and I had a reading with you on Feb. 6th. I just wanted to tell you the reading was wonderful. My Grandma came through and my husband's father who passed less than a year ago. I had really hoped to hear from both of them so I was happy when I did. My husband isn't sure he believes in Mediums but I did tell him about his father coming through, and he could not believe how accurate the information was. I do think it brought him great comfort. Also, I was so happy to hear my sweet Frisky kitty cat was with my Grandma because that was who I had hoped he was with. I had even prayed for my Grandma to take care of him when he passed.

Thank you Joanne, for the great reading. It was so nice to hear from some of my loved ones. May God always give you many blessings.

Sincerely,
Linda - Broken Arrow, OK

These validations are documentation from two mediumistic sessions that took place over an internet chat room, for a hearing impaired client, unable to receive a session by telephone:

Joanne, you have an amazing gift! I have had two internet readings with you that have been incredible.

The first reading was in June 2007. A woman came through that you said was my grandma on my mom’s side, with whom I had a close connection. You said there was a child with her, a female spirit. You said the child was connected to me and that she passed young – in her twenties, and that her passing was unexpected. You said there was a head injury. You said it involved a motor vehicle, that drinking was involved and it happened at night. You said there was a male passenger. You seemed to feel that he was here on the physical. All of this is correct. I was close to my grandma. My daughter died unexpectedly (with head injuries) in an automobile accident at age twenty-five. The accident happened in the very early morning hours. Her husband was with her and he survived the accident.

You described my daughter perfectly. She is a very pretty girl, has a wonderful personality, has a nice sense of humor, enjoyed music, liked to read and write.

In the first reading, you said my daughter was aware of an angel statue. We have eight angel statues that were given to us at her funeral. I have them sitting on the bookcase, where I see them every day.

You said she gave you an image of fish. The first thought that came to my mind was a baby nursery that had fish painted on the walls – an undersea theme. Several of my daughter’s friends have had babies but this particular one, who painted fish and other sea creatures on the nursery wall, named her baby after my daughter. I think she was letting us know she is aware of this!

You said she showed you the month of May. (Her sister’s birthday is in May.) You said you heard the name “Jen”. (Her sister’s name is Jennifer.) You said she was sending belated Happy Birthday wishes to Jen.

You said there was an older gentleman in spirit, like a grandfather vibration, on my dad’s side of the family. (My dad has passed.) You said there was a gentleman in spirit that was a smoker. (My dad was not.) You asked if my dad had a brother that passed. You said he was the smoker and he passed young. (My dad did have a brother that died in the war before I was born.) You said they are together again in spirit. How wonderful to know that! (My mom later asked my aunt if their brother was a smoker. She said he was a heavy smoker.)

I asked if my dad had a message for my mom. He said she worries too much and needs to take better care of herself. (True.) He showed you dancing. (They went dancing often when they were younger.) He also acknowledged their wedding anniversary that was coming up. (The anniversary was coming up in a couple of weeks at the time of the reading.)

The second reading was in January 2008. One of the first things my daughter showed you was hair accessories. I have all of her hair barrettes and hair ties, but I have not handled them recently. I am wondering if she is showing humor in her awareness of her little namesake, who at this time has very little hair.

You said my daughter showed you her bedroom. You asked if I have been in her room lately. You said she is aware that I talk to her in her bedroom. (I am in her bedroom a lot. I do talk to her often when I am in there.)

You said my daughter showed you flowers being placed at the cemetery recently. That she is grateful for the flowers and that she appreciates beauty. How wonderful to know that she is aware that we do this. We are always putting flowers on her grave for the changing seasons and special occasions.

You told me you see a lot of children around her. You said you feel she loved children. You said you feel like she could have been a teacher. What a great validation! My daughter was an early childhood teacher. She did love children. How nice to know she is fulfilling her passion of teaching on the other side!

You said my daughter showed you the month of December, around Christmas time. This is significant because this is when she died.

You said my daughter is with a dog on the other side. We have two dogs that have passed, one after my daughter died. You said you wanted to also talk about a white dog. You said there was a strong connection to the white dog. I was confused at first, because one of the dogs that passed was a white poodle. Then I realized the dog she has the strong connection to is the white dog she left behind. She only had him for about a month and a half before she died. This was “her” dog – he meant a lot to her. We have been taking good care of him for her.

You said my grandmother was with my daughter. You said my grandma liked to bake bread and pies. (True.) You said my grandma showed you a farm. (We spent a lot of time on my grandparent’s farm when we were growing up.) You said my grandma is aware that my mom is having difficulties with joint issues on the left side. (True.)

Joanne, you are an incredible person with an amazing gift. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with me. You have brought me so much peace.

Hi Joanne,

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed my reading with you. It was very informative as well as validating things I thought I already knew. Sometimes I just need to hear things from someone else.

You did a reading with me a few months ago. Our house sold in South Carolina, and we are moving to Portland, Maine in March... exactly the time table you predicted when we spoke.

Joanne, The reading with you put me at ease during what has been an extremely traumatic time in my life. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary gift.

Sincerely,
Victoria - Santa Barbara, CA

February 1st, 2008:

I had a great telephone session with you about a year ago, and I would like to try to schedule one again, when you have time. I have had a great year since we spoke. You gave me messages to pass on to my mother-in-law, if you will recall- from her brother who had passed. She was the one that he said would not be receptive.

Well, he was right, she was not receptive, and she even took me to lunch to talk to me about how the Bible says not to go to psychics, etc, etc. But I was prepared for that, ( thanks to you.) I also got some Bible verses ready to argue my point ( respectfully.) I don't think I changed her mind, but I felt glad that I had passed on messages of love from her brother through your reading.

On the other hand, my husband, who is a true believer, was thrilled to hear from his Uncle, and has taken his advice about his health and career seriously. It has been nice to see some of my husband's anxiety relieved. Thanks to you! I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Take care,

Mary - Spokane, WA

Joanne, You came to my house Dec 10th 2006 and were gracious enough to do private sessions for our group. You gave me the most amazing reading! My old boyfriend whom I just found out committed suicide back in 2004 came through and you pretty much changed my life at that moment. You closed the chapter of grief I was feeling for his misery which stemmed from an illness. I heard about your talents from a friend who had just completed a telephone session with you after her mother passed. She was also blown away by the accuracy. We would both like to visit you for another session.

Testimonial Submitted to joannegerber.com, 12/10/07:

"I had a phone session with you back in August 2007. I was nervous to begin with, but as the reading progressed, I calmed down.You were right about the transaction I made over the internet, you told me it would it would cost me lots of lost money, and it did. I'm just waiting on everything else to come true. I'm still crossing my fingers about the little boy you saw in my future. I just love reading the testimonials about the countless lives you touch and bring blessings to. Keep up the great work Joanne. You are a blessed soul."

Thank You soo much,

Regards Ms. Gerber,

I met you briefly at the Forever Family Foundation program in Glastonbury, Saturday evening. A very powerful and uplifting experience.

As a note, I actually first heard of you on the Bob Olson site, which inadvertently recently led me to news of the event on Saturday. I had rather hoped to meet you one day, and then there you were, only a few miles from my home! Very exciting.

Thank you for being part of bringing us such meaningful event.

Joanne,

You spoke to my friend Linda about her mother after the Group session on December 8th in Glastonbury, CT for the Forever Family Foundation. I just wanted to drop a note to say Thank you. It was kind of you to take the time to give her some comfort. I'm thanking you because you also helped me, since I know I wouldn't have been able to give her information to help her. I'm sure you know how frustrating it is to see someone you love in pain, and not be able to find the right thing to say to give them a break, even if it's only for a moment, from it. So for helping Linda take another step toward healing and therefore helping me, I thank you.

Thanks,

"Good Evening Joanne...My name is Kathy. I was at the November 2nd Communication Evening at BayPath Voc School in Charlton, MA. I have to say that I was completely and utterly amazed!!"

"You spoke to me about my brother. You even described him as a tall, blond, good-looking young man that was tapping his foot and full of energy and jokes. I went there not really thinking that it could happen to me. You gave me a gift that I will treasure forever!!! To have that experience made me realize that I may once again see my brother."

Thank you again and may God bless you.

"Dear Joanne...First of all, let me tell you that I am 59 years old, and for most of my life I have considered myself an agnostic. I have an accounting degree, and my logical mind has a hard time believing that which can't be proven to me. As I get older, I, of course, want very much to believe that there is "something" after death, and that we all will see our loved ones again. I saw you in Charlton, last Friday night, Nov. 2. Although you did not give me a reading, I was absolutely amazed at the ones you gave to others. I saw people get the comfort that they needed, getting messages from parents and children that seemed to ease their minds and hearts. I don't know how anybody could sit through that demonstration and not believe."

"Dear Joanne...Thank you so much for answering my question about my mom on the your Spirit Chat room event tonight. I was logged in as Pearlie. The words you used in reference to my mom sending me a message were exactly as she would speak. For instance, when you said everything would be fine that was always her exact phrase she would say. And when you mentioned buttons that really validated it for me because when my mom was very sick she always said she hoped she would find a button in heaven to help close the open hole feeling she felt in her chest. Thank you for everything.

Hi Joanne:

This is Charlene and I had a reading with you on September 21, 2007, remember me? I've been wanting to email you, but got busy with work and everything else.

I was thinking about my reading I had with you. Now that I had time to think, a lot came to me.

You mentioned coffee ice cream with mom. After the reading it hit me like a ton of bricks !!! It wasn't mom with coffee ice cream, but my 6-year-old son !!!!! About a month or 2 ago, me, my dad and my son went to the Cheesecake Factory that just opened up at the mall. I've been wanting to go. Anyway, after dinner, the waitress asked if we would like dessert. I got a cheesecake and my son demanded the coffee ice cream. He never heard of it or even had it before and I was leery he would not like it or eat it. The waitress said they had chocolate, vanilla and that coffee ice cream. After much going back and forth with him, he got the coffee ice cream and he loved it !!!!!!!!!! Turns out dad and I took a taste and we all like it. So, you just proved to me that mom was there watching and mentioned the coffee ice cream. How else could you have mentioned, specifically, coffee ice cream. Thank you so much, Joanne. Sorry it never dawned on me during the reading, but I was so wrapped up in mom that that was all I was thinking about.

I was amazed how you mentioned a birthday celebration around the Fourth of July. My dad's birthday is July 8, and 2 of my nephew's birthdays are in July as well. One is right on my dad's birthday, July 8 and the other is July 9 the day after. We always celebrated all 3 of their birthdays on the Fourth of July with a cookout and a birthday cake. I had to think about this and then it dawned on me. You mentioned a birthday celebration around the 4th. This past July, again, all 3 birthdays, but we wanted to do something special for dad since this is the first year without mom. We took him to Penn Brewery (Pittsburgh Brewery) where they serve food, not to mention the beer, lol !!!! (I live in PA). We ate and everything, but you can't smoke in there, lol !!!!! Some of us smoke and they had picnic tables outside with a bar where you can smoke, so we all went outside and sat at those picnic tables. You mentioned on my reading of the birthday with a picnic table outside. Mom was there.

You also mentioned seeing bees, if someone was allergic to bees or if someone got stung by a bee. I could not think of anything. It dawned on me again after the reading. I bought my son a bug catcher for his birthday that he wanted so bad and he catches bees in it, particularly bumble bees (I make him let them loose after a while), but he is so engrossed on catching bees. Mom is watching him as well.

You mentioned gardening, if mom liked flowers, a green thumb, etc. Mom did like flowers, but neither I nor mom did gardening, but my dad does, in a way. He was raised on a farm and he always plants tomato plants where we have our own tomatoes. This summer dad planted very pretty flowers in front of the house. Mom was watching dad and saw the flowers he planted in front of the house.

You mentioned seeing a cup of sugar. Mom showing you the kitchen and holding sugar. I was not baking, but that day making homemade iced tea on the stove. I discovered I did not have enough sugar for the tea and went to the store just for sugar.

It's also true that I do spend a lot of time in the house nowadays. I work at home. But, I am so depressed since mom's passing that I don't want to do anything. Nothing interests me anymore and I know I have to snap out of it and take my son out more. I am becoming a hermit, but I will never get over mom.

Grandma Martis' potatoes. That floored me that you mentioned potatoes with grandma. Mom used to make them and that is what we called them, Grandma Martis' potatoes. I have no idea how to make them, but she put something in them and fried them, and you mentioned the smell of potatoes frying in oil. You really hit the nail on the head.

I have had three readings done with three different mediums, and you all brought up mom. You gave more detail with bees and the coffee ice cream, and Grandma Martis' potatoes (I can't get over that one), how could I have not thought of that and such detail with Grandma Martis' potatoes. You are the only one that brought up stuff like this.

Yes, the dog with an "S" her name that came through in the reading was Sheba and mom loved that dog. When Sheba passed away, mom took it very bad. You are the only one who had mentioned a dog. I don't know how you do it, but you are great. You even described Sheba that she was a female, medium-sized dog and tan colored. There would be no way you could have known this unless you were in contact with mom and/or Sheba herself.

I thank you for the reading you gave me and wanted to let you know that you were great.

By the way, Dottie ended up calling us about a week after the reading. She is doing well, but her husband, my dad's WW II buddy, has dementia and getting worse. They live in Baltimore. Mom and dad would go to Baltimore to visit them and they would come here to Pennsylvania to visit. And you mentioned that as well. Dottie is getting concerned over her husband.

My friend in Tennessee. I met her through work as a medical transcriptionist. We keep in touch and talk now and again. You specifically mentioned Tennessee and I do keep in touch with her. You really hit a lot of things that you could not have known.

"Hello Joanne...Have you ever thought that you did something and then realize that you didn't? Well, I just realized that I never sent you a note expressing my gratitude for the reading you did for me on July 30th. Your description of my husband was right on, as was everything you felt. Many validations. It's truly a gift to receive messages and to feel the love of someone dear who has crossed over, thanks to folks like you who are more spiritually in tune than most of us. You put a smile on my face that day, and I reflect on that time quite often. Trusting and believing that his remains will be found isn't an easy task, but it's what keeps me going some days. I know that it will happen, but I have good days and some not so good days. One of the good things that has come out of the last year, is the path of spiritual learning and awareness that my journey is taking me on. Truly amazing..."

"So, many thanks for the time you spent with me...I am grateful."Peace,

"Dear Joanne, I wanted to thank you so very much for the reading on 24 July 2007.  I know you had to push your schedule to be able to do it, and it meant a lot to me.  I am still amazed at what you were able to tell me about my situation without any information whatsoever from me. You were extremely accurate with descriptions of people and circumstances in my life that are causing me upset at present. You have such an honest and kind way in which to listen, advise and communicate what you see ahead.  It gave me great solace to speak to you and you gave me the courage to continue, without giving false hope.  You are a truly gifted intuitive and you are very generous with your time and yourself.  Thank you."

"Hi Joanne...It is a JOY to speak with you again. I am the RN you gave a reading to in February 21, 2007 in Los Angeles. You connected me with my mother who passed over on Thanksgiving Day. At the meeting, my husbands departed mother and father came through. 

I cannot tell you the comfort those messages brought to my grief stricken heart. Your information was 100% accurate. I have transcribed the session below."

On February 21st, 2007, I met with Psychic Medium Joanne Gerber in Los Angeles for a session. She said "You are here to connect to someone passed on?"

I nodded YES. I did not say anything else or give further information.

Joanne Gerber said: "I am going to sit silently while I connect to those on the other side. I will then say a prayer and invocation,invoking your spirit guides, masters, teachers and loved ones to step forward and work with us. I will then begin the session."

We sat quietly for a few minutes.

Joanne then opened her eyes and said: "I have a male and female connection coming forth. They are telling me that they are both your parents." Joanne then paused for a moment and said: "You are here to contact your Mother."

I nodded YES.

Joanne continued: "Mother is telling me that she passed in her 80's, in the hospital, and that her birthday would be in the month of February."

I nodded YES.

Joanne talked about our "special" mother-daughter reltionship. Joanne said: "She says she knows how much you love her,and that she says she knows you were there when she passed...she is acknowledging the family around her bedside just prior to her passing. She says she was not herself before she passed, that her mind was not in a good state, and that she was glad to get out of her physical body...she was tired of being poked with needles."

I nodded YES. A few hours before her passing, the IV in her arm came out, and the nurses had a difficult time trying to get the needle back in. They stuck her several times,and my sister was at her bedside and observed the event.

Joanne said: "She is telling me that she was afraid to die, but it was not as bad as she thought it would have been. She said she just fell asleep. She is also showing me that a male was there to help her cross over. I get the initials JM. She says he was at her bedside before she left her body. He held out his hand to her to help her. The male shows me that he passed from a heart condition."

I nodded YES. (My father's name was Jim)

Joanne continued: "He is showing me sittng in a lounge chair, reading the newspaper."

I nodded YES. (When we were teenagers, father would come home from work, sit in the lounge chair and read the newspaper, watch TV and listen to the radio at the same time. I would often ask him how he could do all three things at one time!)

Joanne said: "Mother is saying to tell your younger sister that she loves her. She said the family broke apart after her passing."

I nodded YES. (Family disagreements occurred related to an ongoing family crisis. 

Joanne said: "Your Mom is telling me that she is with her sister Flonnie, and that they were estranged at the end due to alcohol problems. They have reconciled and healed their relationship by talking about their life growing up as children."

I nodded YES. (Sister Flonnie passed of alcohol related throat cancer and both grew up in an abusive family.

Joanne continued: "Mom is saying to tell younger daughter Linda that she can hear her talking to her. She says that she spent the years prior to Mom's passing revolving around her, and that she is still grieving the loss. She feels weighed down and drained. She is stuck in negative thinking. She saw the flowers she bought her for her birthday, and she likes them. She also saw Linda visiting her gravesite."

I nodded YES.

Joanne said: "Mo is telling me that your life is at a crossroad now. You are writing for a class or book. Doors will open for you. Others are coming to help you. You must push a head with this. You are being held back by stress at work."

I nodded YES.

Joanne continued: "She is also talking about her grandson with the two children. She says she is happy that he has ended a toxic relationship. She is sending healing to your brother who is stuck and frustrated. She want to tell them that she loves them."

I nodded YES. (Her grandson does have two children, and Mother was only aware of one when she was here...apparently she is aware of the second child from the other side.)

Joanne said: "Your sister will heal, slowly. You've done all you can for her. You are ahead...she shows me a scene of you leading a parade...everyone is trying to catch up with you. She is proud of what you are doing with your life."

I nodded YES and wiped the tears from my eyes. (At the funeral,I told the preachers wife that all I wanted was for my mother to be proud of what I was able to do with my life,because of all that she did for me. I have never made that statement to anyone else.)

Joanne said: "I have another male and female that are connecting here to your husband...They are talking about a January 6th birthday. They are speaking Yiddish between each other. The male also speaks Russian. They say you are his life. You have been good for him. His last marriage drained him. They are showing me that they took him to theme parks when he was a child, and showing me that they moved from New York to California. Mother passed of a heart problem. "

I nodded YES and was stunned. I did not know anything about my husbands parents. They passed twenty years before I met my husband. My husband later confirmed that his parents did speak Yiddish between themselves, but spoke English with the children. Father was able to speak Russian. Parents too k him to Coney Island in New York,and his parents moved from New York to California when his father retired. His mother passed of a heart attack in 1969.

Medium Reading on Radio

July 5, 2007

Psychic Medium Joanne Gerber as guest medium on Signs of Life Radio: "Let's Talk About The Afterlife."

I talked with Fran from Forever Family Foundation a couple days ago and told her what a fabulous reading I had with you two awesome mediums at 37:48 to 46:42 into the Signs of Life show on Thursday July 5. She did not hear it that night, but said that those who did were most impressed.

I was really amazed at the amount of information that you two ladies were able to give to me and the trivial stuff that ONLY could have come from my loved ones. I can never thank you enough.

I counted up 20 different things that you both brought through about personality traits or things that they could see like jewelry, a pendant around the neck, names connected, etc.

Out of that 20 there were only three that did not immediately make sense to me. 

I called in right away and was on hold for two other callers whom they read quite well. I told the two mediums that I had lost my son, sister and mother and had never before had a reading before. So I would love to hear from any of them or all of them.

As they would tell me these things they would often ask “does that make sense to you?”

Right away Joanne Gerber said that “the energy I feel around you is coming from a young man who comes through from spirit, Penny. I feel like his passing was very sudden. Do you understand that? Oh, yes. “Because he is telling me that there was no preparation and that there was nothing he could have done to prevent it . Do you understand?” Oh yes.! “And I feel like was he kind of like in his late teens or early twenties?” I said that he was 29. “OK, Alright. Because I feel that as I connect with his energy here too that he was a very young spirited young man, so much energy”. Oh yea.

“I want to say that he liked to make people laugh. Because he is like kind of fooling around …..He could have been like joking around….. in a very loving way. And I feel like……”

Joanne suddenly stops and pauses and says: “Interesting, OK”

“Would you understand a necklace or a pendant connected to him? I said: A necklace or a pendant….I could understand a medal worn around his neck. …”A medal worn around his neck, thank you, because that is what I am getting, some sort of pendant or something that he wore around his neck”. I almost fell over. I validated to her that he was in the New York City marathon and the Philadelphia half marathon and I have those medals right here next to me. “He is making me aware that it is something that you recently looked at or handled, or you said you have them with you, so that is good validation right there from him that he is right there with you.” (Before I got on the air, I gazed up at Tom’s NYC Marathon poster with his medal around his neck and asked him to talk to me tonight. I had asked Tom, mom and Jan to all talk to me if they could, but I really, really missed all of them and wanted them all to talk to me). Both mediums got excited by these validations that I gave them.

“You know he is one that I feel really enjoyed nature……He loved the outdoors. I feel like you couldn’t keep him indoors very long.” I said: He had to be on the water as much as he could , he was an ocean person and he wanted to get a job outside, and finally did just before he passed. I could hear the excitement in her voice when she told me she was to happy to be able to validate this for me.

"Your sister would have passed before your son?"

I said: Yes, it was quite a bit before it was in 2000 and then Tom in 2006.

“Because he is giving me the sense of meeting her when he crossed over. That she was there to help him”.

I said: I knew that she would be! (I had told my whole family when we met at Mike’s house in Wildwood, NJ to plan his funeral that I just knew that Jan would be right there to take Tom by the hand and help him when he got to heaven.”)

“ I also feel a strong religious connection with your Mom” Oh yes. “Like somebody who was a church goer. You understand that?” Oh yes. “OK, because I feel like she is giving me the sign of the cross”. OK “And I feel like this is kind of something that she would do kind of like out of superstition so to speak. Do you understand that with her?” No. She wasn’t like that. There wasn’t like any superstitious thing going on. “But she went to church quite often.” There were pictures of Christ in her bedroom and she definitely had crosses all over the house. 

“And her costume jewelry she talks about, too. Would you understand that?”

Oh, laughing…she ONLY had costume jewelry.

“OK”. We put it out and pretty much gave away what we could.

“She had a collection”. She had a collection. This is too funny! (I had spent considerable time laying out mom’s costume jewelry in a display on the top of her chest of drawers. I asked every girl and woman in our family to please check it and try to find a little something to take that will remind them of my mother. There was not a lot, but it was lovingly displayed on that chest top for several months. At her memorial service reception at her home in May, I was able to give much of it away to the family members who came from all over. My own 28 year old daughter chose a necklace that she wore to the service…mom’s favorite flower, .the dogwood, on a chain. I have been wearing one of her REAL pieces that is her birthstone on a small gold chain…ever since the night of her passing. I gave it to her many years ago…told her she needed to have some REAL jewelry. She rarely wore any at all…and only for special occasions. So, since her passing there has been a much larger connection to mom with jewelry than there was during her life. I know that she was acknowledging that to me.)

This reading was absolutely right on. I am still reeling with the amount of information that both received from Tom, Jan and Mom and how it all made such perfect sense. AND…it was mostly personality stuff or trivial stuff that only I could even understand.

I can only thank the mediums, which I did on the air…..but even more I am so thankful to Tom, Mom and Jan for coming through together! I am so very, very sure now that the afterlife is wonderful, fun, happy and something to so look forward to. I miss them so much but I can talk to them and connect with them and that helps more than I can say.

Thanks so much for being mediums on the radio show so that folks like me, who can't really afford a one on one reading with a medium can have the opportunity to speak with our departed loved ones. I really do think that science is going to have to accept that we do live on after leaving this world and we can keep in touch with our loved ones back on earth.

I have been so fortunate to have received so many wonderful afterlife communications from my son and my mother. I keep them all documented and many include photograghs. Pretty hard to argue with proof that you can see!

Much love and blessings to you,

"I never really gave any of this any thought. When I lost my other half of almost nine years, I couldn't believe how many times I saw stuff about mediums. I would turn on the TV and see programs about mediums. I would see things in magazines, and thought: "why is all this coming to me... is this a sign?" So I went on the internet and did a lot of research. I saw the Best Psychic Mediums website, and contacted Joanne Gerber. Of course it would be months before I was able to schedule an appointment, but she told me she would be coming to Los Angeles, and I was able to schedule an in person appointment. I scheduled my appointment for February 2007. I knew in my heart that my other half must really be trying to speak with me. I am not religious, but I prayed the week before for him to come to me, and talked to him at night in bed. I have to say that EVERYTHING that Joanne gave me in my session had a meaning. She told me that my other half wanted to tell me that he is proud of our son playing baseball and my son just started T-ball. She said, he was worried about car repairs, and just two days before the session, I had an oil change done on my car. He also wanted me to know he hears me when I talk to him in bed. All I can say is WOW! I had one person even say that maybe she hired a detective!!! I said, I know what detectives cost, and why would she spend all her money for a detective and walk away not making anything. This reading was for real. I was not a non believer before the session with Joanne, but I really didn't care about any of this until I lost him, and I had a million signs pointing me to this. I believe I had a good reading because I opened myself one hundred percent to this, and just kept asking for him to come to me and talk to me, and he did. Fame and high prices are not always the best way to determine a good medium. I truly believe my other half helped me and guided me to Joanne. After you have had someone good, you can see the bad ones really clear. Now, after my reading, I feel my heart has opened wider. I can't tell you how much Joanne helped me. Open your heart and mind and pray for your love ones to help guide you and I bet they will guide you to Joanne."

"Dear Joanne...I came to you when you were in Derry, New Hampshire over a year ago, and I am amazed that you told me things that were going to happen, communicating with my dear loved ones passed, and at the time what you had told me things that I had no plans of doing. Each and every thing you told me has now happened. Still amazed...you even described the new home I would move into, and when saw you I had no intentions of moving, and here I am in that home you described. Its so nice to know our loved ones are really still with us."

"Hi, Joanne...I had a reading with you on Feb 1 and attended your Spirit Chat tonight. The reading was fabulous and has given us so much comfort. Before the death of my son, I thought I had a happy life. I'm slowly turning around the heavy heart I've had since his passing that is slowly lifting due to the connection he made through you. Since our meeting, now I KNOW so much of what I hadn't considered to be real is, and I've been reading several books. A major reexamination of prior beliefs!"

Joanne: I had a good appointment with you last night. After reading my notes, Anna, a friends daughter came through along with my daughter. Anna also died in a car accident at 16. You said that she sang and wanted to acknowledge love to Katie and Sarah, which made no sense to me, but then when I talked to Anna's mom today, I found out that Katie and Sarah are Anna's sisters. You also said she was in gymnastics, and Anna was in gymnastics. My daughter played basketball and softball. I know you have no recollection of the appointment or that you can control who comes thru but Anna tens to come through during readings because my daughter is a kind soul who always seems to allow others to get their messages to their love ones also. Some of the reading for sure was my daughter, and it helps every time I can talk with her. I hope some time in the future I get the chance to meet you. You are truly fascinating and I loved our talk last night.
Thank you for being so kind.
Take care,

Hello Joanne...I met with you for a session in Lebanon a few weeks ago. I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed our session. I found you to be very accurate and was comfortable with you right away. I left our session feeling spiritually uplifted and at peace. Thank you for that.
God bless,

Good morning Joanne...Thank you so much for the phone session yesterday. I really wanted to connect with my dad and I am so grateful his spirit came through. It is very comforting to know that indeed he is still with us and is ok. Last night, you said that he kept showing you a gold cross. I asked my mother about it and she said she hung the cross from his funeral in their home above my bed. Thank you again for everything. My dad's passing has been really hard which is to be expected. However, being able to reconnect with him, does make it easier. I still do wish I could give him a big hug, but I know now that he feels that.
Take care,
Victoria - Valencia, CA

Dear Joanne...We want to express to you our sincere appreciation for the experience we recently shared with you in Lebanon. So many of the messages were incredibly meaningful and helped us to gain a greater sense of peace and hope as we continue to seek acceptance and understanding of our devastating loss. I'm sure you hear this regularly from people after a reading, but we want you to know how grateful we are for your time, your energy, and your kindness. I have shared some of our experience with family and friends. They, too, are comforted by the assurance your messages provided that our son remains nearby.

Wishing you well,

"Hello Joanne...My reading with you yesterday evening was awe inspiring!!! Your gift to bring through spirit guides, angels, master guides and also loved ones who have passed over is incredible to me. I have had many readings, but your gift of clarity is by far the most accurate. Your confidence exudes not only from life experience but through divine knowledge."

"Thank you for your loving directness to highlight my abilities and to assure me that I am opening up to a "higher vibration". I do believe that great things are happening to and for me. I feel that I have the power to manifest a career that will be for my "highest good". I feel exuberant and eager to start this new chapter in my life."

"I appreciate the resources you provided in my reading. I plan to look into classes/workshops, spiritual churches, yoga and lectures/learning centers. etc... I can see myself signing up for some of your classes in the near future. I finally feel like I have direction and purpose in my life! All things seem possible and achievable."

"I am so glad that my grandmother and cat "Jack" came through to me. This experience was not only a surprise, but a beautiful blessing to me. I will share her message with other family members. My Dad will be pleased to hear from her."

"While it is true that the whole reading had a significant impact on me, there is one expression that you stated that will always stay with me. "Take a leap of faith, and faith will leap with you"! This is my new mantra!"

"Thank you, thank you and many blessings to you,"

"Dear Joanne... I'd like to thank you for our session and your patience with me. Rereading my notes, it's more than evident that you were in touch with my Dad. Many, many people have been moved by your accuracy. You are blessed to be able to not only connect people with their loved ones, but be in a position to calm the existential fears we all have about death and nonexistence."

Thank you,

"Dear Joanne: I have been meaning to write to you for months. I had a reading with you on May 27, 2006. The reading changed my life, literally. And I want to thank you for your gift and for sharing your abilities with others. Because of your reading I got direction and started pursuing my career path. Within a week of the reading I had signed up for a degree program in metaphysical science. This happened the night before my 60th birthday"!

"I am more than half way thru the course. I will have a degree in metaphysical science in June and will then go on to get my masters degree and doctorate! With the degree I will pursue a business in counseling/meditation techniques/re-instate my hypnotherapy practice and do some teaching on connecting with the Divine Light within. At this time I am still in my full time job but have plans to do all of the above as I am led to do so".

You had predicted that I would be taking a trip to England for a visit, and that it would be an excellent trip. At the time of my reading I didn't have plans to visit England. I just returned from there two days ago after being with my fabulous daughter for three glorious weeks. It is the first Christmas and New Year we have spent together in over a decade. We had a wonderful, wonderful time together. So much has happened to improve my life and outlook on life there is no way I can project it all here in an email. I just wanted to say 'thank you' and give you positive feedback on your life's path".

Sending you lots and lots of positive light.

"Joanne...I just wanted to thank you for the session on December 12th 2006 in Connecticut. I had a chance to look over my notes and review some of the things you said and I shared it with my husband and sister. Both of them added a great deal to what you told me and some things that did not connect for me were strong hits for each of them. I am still trying to process the losses I have had - my first husband 22 years ago and now my son, at age 21 just this year. My faith used to sustain me but with the loss of my son, I find myself questioning all that I have believed and I am in search of learning and knowing more about what happens when we die, if there really is God and other 'big" questions. Other bereaved parents feel the same way, we want desperately to know that our children still exist and that we will be reunited one day. I know that you spent extra time with me and I appreciate that. Thank you for helping me on the first step in my journey to learn more."

"Hi Joanne...I just wanted to thank you for my session on Saturday. I have gone over everything in my mind and listened to the tape. You gave me lots to think about. I had said to my brother last week, before the session, that the one thing I wanted to hear was an "I'm sorry" from my mother. When you communicated with my mother from spirit, and then said to me that she was telling you to tell me she was sorry, you took my breath away. It was a wonderful experience, and I want to do it again sometime. It is very comforting to know they are near and watching over us. Your gift is remarkable. Thank you so much!!"

"Dearest Joanne...What a pleasure it was to speak to you tonight. I had waited a long time to speak with you and let me tell you Joanne it was well worth the wait. God has really given you a wonderful gift and I would like to know if each of us have this gift and how to develop it. You were spot on with everything and now I know that my mother and father are together again. Joanne everyday of my life I cry for my mother as I miss her so much. I loved her so much but now I know that she still does goes on. I want people to know that god does exist and he gives us a special gift in life which is you and other spirit mediums. I often wondered about life after death and I have to say that it frightened me but now I am not afraid. Thank you so much Joanne and how lucky I have been in my life to be able to contact you. There is a reason for everything. Thank you so much for your gift and I hope to talk with you in the future. I believe that I have found a wonderful friend in you."

You show me that its ok to share my gift with people. You also have given me the confidence and trust to believe in myself and in spirit. Last night at the Evening of Spirit Communication I knew my Mom was there and I was very happy that she had a strong enough energy to come through to you. Its still hard for me but I know she is at peace."

"Dear Joanne...I want to thank you, with all my being, for the incredible & accurate reading you gave me on October 23rd 2006. My son has been in spirit for eight months today and my heart has much work to do, to heal. The reading you gave to me was the very best medicine a grieving heart could be given. After the reading, my light shone once again and I feel euphoric, a feeling I thought had probably died with my precious boy. When a parent loses a child a part of their soul is amputated and they are left with a huge hole. Into that hole pours grief, guilt, devastation, loneliness, depression, anger, sadness, etc. If those of us who grieve do not do everything in our power to fill that hole with positive things, the hole will finally consume us. One of the pro-active things I have done is to seek out mediums, in an attempt to connect with my son. I have now had four readings with four different mediums. You are the best of the best and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your beautiful gift with those of us who are making the most difficult journey of our lives. Some will survive their loss but others will not. I will survive because I now know that my son is still with us, that he loves us and he is in a grand place. I now have peace within my soul and I can now release a huge part of my devastation. Amazing and wonderful! Joanne, as I said, you are the best of the best. I will refer many grieving parents to you.
Thank you!

Below is a list of messages you gave me that were so very special and true:
