Kristy Robinett - Psychic Medium

There’s no flowing gown. There’s no crystal ball. There’s just Kristy, Psychic Medium.

Kristy’s involvement with the paranormal began at the tender age of 3 when she began playing and speaking regularly with spirits, labeled “imaginary friends” by her parents. This behavior was unacceptable in her household as her family was very religious. This however did not curb her curiosity for the paranormal and the unknown. Being an avid reader, she read everything and anything regarding different religions, the occult and the paranormal. In college, she took psychology and sociology classes and often did papers attempting to debunk paranormal events using scientific theory, however, she was never convinced. She has learned to challenge everything with healthy skepticism (scientific method). That process has blessed and enriched her spiritual beliefs while abandoning old superstitions that didn’t serve her well or prove valid.

Kristy isn’t silent anymore…she has embraced the paranormal with the understanding that these things are going to happen and are part of life and apart of her life. Paranormal phenomena are just happenings that require a greater depth of understanding or touch us on a deeper level than normal events.

Today, Kristy is an internationally renowned Psychic Medium. Her clientele ranges from young to old, law enforcement, clergy, politicians, physicians, attorneys, domestic goddesses, metaphysical professionals, celebrities, to every day people. Her dedication and passion to her work is performed with honesty, integrity and humor, which sets her apart from the rest. She has touched the lives of thousands of people giving spiritual guidance and reunited them with their family and friends who have crossed over, in her private sessions (personal, phone and email), workshops and lectures. She has the gift of bringing warmth and love when using her gift of insight to help clear the cobwebs of confusion along with helping people embrace their own intuitive gifts. Not always serious, Kristy has a wicked sense of humor she likes to bring to her readings.

Kristy has a background in theatre, education in psychology and business, is assisting in several documentaries, plays ‘Madam LaStrange’ in ‘Nightmare SINema’ (www.nightmaresinema.com) and is co-host of ParaWomenRadio on BlogTalk. Kristy donates her time assisting law enforcement agencies with investigations involving missing persons, murder, suicide, arson and psychically profiling criminals. She has earned a solid reputation for Spirit Releases, psychic home inspections for homebuyers and haunted house investigations, lecturer at special events and will be opening a Ghost Walk company throughout Michigan in 2008. She currently is under contract with Schiffer Books. Look for her hauntingly frightening books on the shelves October 2008.

Interview With Michigan's Otherside

 

:: Michigan’s Otherside:: How did you get introduced to the paranormal world and how did you know you were a medium?

::Kristy:: At the tender age of three, I saw ghosts. However, labeled ‘imaginary friends’ by my family, it wasn’t until I was in grade school that I realized that they were really spirits and not just the vivid imagination everybody claimed I had. Along with the mediumship, the house that I grew up in was extremely haunted, with both negative and positive spirits. Did my mediumship come first or was the house haunted first as I have been called a ghost magnet since the very beginning? That is an egg/chicken debate that I don’t believe will ever be answered.

Obviously at that small of an age I didn’t know that the label was ‘medium’. In school it was more like ‘freak’. I could sense, see, smell and hear those that crossed over and share those messages with both adults and kids. Unfortunately, even though what I was experiencing was normal for me, it wasn’t considered normal. And even when my grandparents who had crossed came through with messages for my parents, they too looked at me with one eyebrow raised.

My upbringing brought a whole new monster to the table also. My father was a Deacon for the Lutheran church, I attended parochial school and my mom wouldn’t even allow me to read my horoscope. Mediumship was definitely not something that was accepted. So I went into hiding for several years, practicing the skills and researching incognito.


:: Michigan’s Otherside:: What is the best part about being a medium? Have you had some amazing experiences?

::Kristy:: A few years ago I would’ve probably told you that there was no ‘best’ part and that the mediumship was a curse. I have grown a whole lot over the years and accepted it as a gift.

Not long ago, I had a male client come to me for a reading. He sat down and instantly three people came through for him in spirit with messages for him, which made me burst into tears even before I acknowledged them. You see, this client was going to commit suicide and before his visit with me, he had asked for a sign, any sign, as to what he should do. He blamed himself for one of the spirit’s deaths, which was unfounded and ridiculous to the spirit, and he felt alone by both those living and those dead.

Every reading is different. Every spirit that comes through has a different story. And each one affects me on different levels. Some are fun, some serious.

After giving this client the ‘signs’ he so needed, along with professional help, I later received a letter from him thanking and telling me that I saved his life. I take absolutely no credit; I only thank the spirits who sat down at the table and the messages they relayed. He is now busy living again, with the knowledge that those who have crossed over are holding his hand and helping him through the tough times.



:: Michigan’s Otherside:: Have you ever had a negative experience with a spirit?

::Kristy:: Ya take the good with the bad! And there has been a lot of good and a whole lot of bad! A year or so ago, I did a paranormal investigation with a local ghost hunting group at a house that was experiencing poltergeist activity. The spirit came through and told a haunting story if I ever heard one.

This man, who refused to cross, had been the foreman of the farm in the 1800s. He was a player back then and took advantage of his position. One day he got caught fooling around with one too many of the women and had his head cut off by one of the angry husbands. He was buried on the farm. But he didn’t want to leave and continued to abuse the women who lived their today. When he walked in, you could feel this warm and angry air, in lieu of the typical cold spots that most report. He would touch the woman in personal areas and stare down and antagonize them as they slept. He was cocky and self righteous in life and continued to be so in death.

And then there are demons (not to be taken lightly). I was called to a house for help with a possible demon. I took several people along with me, including a minister. We were greeted by the homeowners who informed us that the wife made a deal with the demon; we leave and the demon won’t abuse them anymore. The husband on the other hand wasn’t thrilled with the deal and wanted the house blessed. After much debate, the husband took the wife outside as the minister and I entered offering a house blessing; I smudged while he prayed and splattered the home in holy water. The energy became angry and objects were thrown around the house. Just as we were about done with the blessing, the wife came storming into the house with a knife behind her back and lunged at me. To this day I will never forget the look in her eyes. Whether my Guides stepped in or one of the investigators did, it is still not known, but I was not stabbed. The minister called in for more help and bowed out of the rest of the investigation.


:: Michigan’s Otherside:: If someone has never been to a medium before, what can they expect from a session with you?

::Kristy:: It is pretty similar to what you might see on Lisa William’s show. You sit across from me (or on the phone or via email) and I begin to call in your passed loved ones and your Guides (along with mine) to obtain information. Sometimes the person you ask for doesn’t come through (which is truly heartbreaking) and another person will come instead. It doesn’t mean that the person you wanted to come through doesn’t love you, it just means they are BUSY! Yes, they just don’t sit in the clouds and sing in the choir.

Before any reading, if it is best for you to meditate and picture the loved one you want to come through. Call in that loved one. Also, relax before any reading! Someone who has scattered energy before a reading will often get a scattered reading.


With me, you will get:

1. Brutal and complete honesty and not just what you want to hear along with non-judgmental messages and advice. I am not 100% accurate. No you didn't misread that!! I am upfront and honest on that point. There is no psychic/medium that's 100% accurate. If you are told that….RUN!!

If a Psychic or Medium only gives you the positive things in your life, you will find they are stroking your ego. They also may be picking up on simply what you want to hear. A reading should consist of the good and the bad and being able to help direct you to overcoming the negative in a creative and productive way. During the course of a reading there might be some generalities in the message, but there also should be specific's as well. One should leave with a sense of hope and a sense of knowing there are always possibilities and choices available.

Regardless of any reading you ever have done by whomever, it’s important that you realize no Psychic or Medium can tell your future absolutely, because the future is not set in stone. You always have "free will". At the time you are being read, I’ts based on the decisions that you are making as of that day, which you always have the choice, "free will" to change. Most readings are the results of picking up patterns, tendencies, or greater possibilities. As a reader, it’s our role to help you see creative possibilities, even within the limitations of what has been occurring in your life. We cannot tell you what we see here will in fact happen, only that this is the most likely outcome at this moment. With that in mind, make your choices wisely from the information derived in your readings. But remember, others in the area you question have choices also. We always have choice in decisions.

2. A sense of humor

The other side has a funny bone!

3. Complete confidentiality

No one but you, the client and the psychic/medium, have the right to know what is said or occurs during a reading. If the client wishes to share their reading with others, this is their choice.
