Highlights from today’s episode include:
Karen explains mediumship is a vocational calling that serves to heal and connect people with the spirit world, not to create fear or spectacle.
Everyone has a natural psychic intuition (a “sixth sense”) that can be developed to different levels, functioning like an inner guidance system, says Karen

Introduction 00:00
Welcome to the Healers Café. The number one show for medical practitioners and holistic healers, to have heart to heart conversations about their day to day lives, while sharing their expertise for improving your health and wellness.
Manon Bolliger 00:17
Welcome to the Healers Cafe, and today I have with me Karen Docherty, and basically Karen has worked tireless, tirelessly to bring the Word of Spirit to those who need it most, from the UK to the US, from Asia to Australia, clients from all over the world, meet with Karen to receive readings, enroll in mentorships and share a space for discussions on the power of spirit. Let me see what else I want to share. There’s so much to share here. I’m gonna Yeah, so mediumship is one of the ways that you help people, and also to help them discover their own intuitive connection to spirit. If I have understood that properly, rather than second guess, I just want to welcome you and yeah, and ask you, well, first question, how did you get into this field, and what? What is this field? Exactly, for those who may not know,
Karen Docherty 01:30
yeah, so this field that I work in is, I mean, some people would call it and, like, about energy, working with energy and and it is as an intuitive and a psychic and a medium. You’re working with people’s energy here on this world, you know, on the earth, but you’re also connecting with loved ones that have crossed over. And really, that’s where it all started for me. When I was much younger, a small child, I used to see people from the other place, I would call it, and it was obviously people that had crossed over, but I didn’t know that, so I used to see them as I was growing up, and I used to receive messages or feel the presence of them. And I was never frightened. It wasn’t a frightening thing for me, but it became overwhelming as I got into my teens, and later into my teens, it just felt like I was always busy speaking to other people, but not knowing who I was speaking to. So I would go to bed at night, and in the morning, when I would wake up, I would say, oh my gosh, I’m so tired. I feel like I was talking to someone all night long. But I knew that I wasn’t physically doing that. So as it became more and more overwhelming, I had already had a huge interest in mediumship. I read books, I watched mediums on TV. I followed certain mediums with their books and what they’d written. And I’d been doing that from a young age as well, so I started to kind of piece it together. And I used to go and watch mediums at our local spiritualist church. And I’d go in there and watch them work, and think, you know, it’s this way I’m getting messages and from, you know, from the Spirit people. So I spoke to a medium and decided that I had to kind of harness what was happening and take a bit of control over it. And from then on, it just developed, you know, really quickly into my mediumship. So it made me realize I was born with it. It was something that was always going to come, and it was always something I was supposed to do, and it’s very vocational, and it’s something that I’m very blessed to do.
Manon Bolliger 03:29
Well, they’re very interesting. Yeah, yeah. I think I’ve heard from many people it’s something that usually they notice in childhood, you know, and if it doesn’t get stressed out of you by, you know, what people think, or that it’s strange, or whatever, then makes sense that you would explore it. And, you know, see, see what that is about. Yeah.
Karen Docherty 03:52
Well, my grandmother was also quite mediumistic, and I didn’t know that obviously when I was younger, but I do have memories of her sitting at her kitchen table and doing tea leaf readings for people. And I remember maybe at the age of three or four, watching her and hearing her telling the people, turn the cup three times, and then she would turn it up and she would read. And she was the one that always would say, you know, oh, Karen brings spirit with her. And she would tell my dad, oh, don’t worry about cam. She’s fine. So she she knew, and she could see what was happening, but she didn’t kind of discuss it with me until I was older. And then, like I say, it just became to a point where I would be with friends and I would feel their loved ones coming around them, or I would be giving messages to people, or intuitively tune into people and get stuff for them. And it just became so overwhelming that it was, it was too big for me not to look at it.
Manon Bolliger 04:48
Yeah, no, that makes it makes sense, yeah. And it’s interesting, because I, you know, I’ve come across more and more people that have like, whether you call it a sixth sense, but a sense. Sense of something else. I don’t mean necessarily, being able to see or feel spirits around I think that’s a kind of an another level of it. But I know in my own practice, I would call it downloads. It’s like somebody would tell me their symptoms, and I’d asked them since when, and then I would have this, almost like flashback. I could see the entire scene of when it happened, what happened, what was around, what was the emotion, and it’s like whoa, and sometimes even names of people that were then. And I’ve used that without realizing that it might be an unusual skill, I’ve just left it as that’s how I practice, you know, I’ve been comfortable to call it intuitive, because the type of intuition, you know,
Karen Docherty 05:55
it definitely is. And we are all psychic to different levels, you know, we all come from the spirit world, and we return home to the spirit world. But when we are..
Read more...
here, we all have a sixth sense, which is your psychic intuition. Some people will say it’s a hunch. Some people will call it gut feelings. But whatever you call it, it’s actually your psychic skill. And then some people will develop that to a higher level. Some people will naturally have it to a higher level, and some people will go on and do work with it. But we all have it, even for our own lives, to kind of guide us. I call it your inner sat nav. It’s just to guide you through your life, if you if you know how to listen to it,
Manon Bolliger 06:33
right, right? Yeah. I had, I was in Mexico a few years ago, and I was talking to a psychic woman that happened to be part of this workshop, and and I was getting a lot of messages, you know, I just want to share this, because it’s kind of funny. I said I she goes, Well, who’s talking to you? And it’s funny, it never occurred to me to ask. And she just said, Why don’t you ask their name? And when I did that, then it kind of was, like, it’s just so obvious, and you can do that right, like we don’t have to stay in the mystery of it, you know, if they’re willing to communicate who they are, if it’s the right time, if all of those things you know, then you can, you can find out who you’re talking to, right? It just seems so funny to at that time. It seemed like such an insight. Now it’s like, okay,
Karen Docherty 07:32
yeah, yeah. I think that it’s good to build relationships with those that you communicate with, like, for instance, if you’re communicating with your own guides and helpers and your spirit team. Yeah, sometimes you’re not going to get names. You know, some mediumship isn’t like a telephone where they can clearly tell you things, because if it was like that, then it would be so much easier, right? And it’s never an easy thing to do, but, but you will get names and you will get information like that. I think sometimes, though, when you go looking for it. So a lot of my students will say, I want to know my guide. I want to know who that is. And I say to them, let it come, let it unfold. Because if you go looking, your mind will tell you things. It’s a natural thing for your mind to do. It’s a strong tool for you to use, but your mind will also just tell you what it thinks you should know, because it’s a logical thing. So sometimes, when you go looking for things, you don’t get them. And other times, if you’ve got a communication happening at right, at that time, absolutely, you can just pick up the detail and go looking for that
Manon Bolliger 08:34
right. Right? Like, sometimes it’s a feeling or a physical, like a swoosh or something where it’s like, oh, you know, and yeah, so I totally agree. And that’s in life in general. If you go action oriented, you’re going to push it away. You You have to wait like, there’s a communication that knows when you’re ready, basically. And just Yes, allow that to be to be the case. So I’m thinking, Where can I go asking you questions? There’s so much so what can you give? An example, no names, no people, no whatever, of of something that you’ve been able to really shift a person’s life because of the knowledge that you have and the ability to connect, maybe to those who passed away, or just in general,
Karen Docherty 09:29
yeah. I mean, I think honestly, picking out one example, it’s such a your mind has to go through everything. But what I will say is, in general, like 99% of the time when people come for a reading, whether it’s about their loved ones in the spirit world, or about themselves in a psychic, intuitive way that they need help with their life or guidance and such like it does shift them. It shifts their whole perspective of things. And that’s what should happen, and you can’t make that happen. For someone, you can like, when someone comes to see me, I just can share what I do, and it comes quite naturally, and it’s always positive, like there’s nobody that would come to see me, that when they leave the feel worse. They’re always going to feel better. They’re always going to have clarity on something, particularly if it is connecting with those that have crossed over, which is obviously a massive part of my work. It is life changing in the sense that they realize that their loved one is still there, that they realize that they can still be in their presence, that they’re still looking after them, looking into their lives, being part of their lives. And so life changing in that sense, it heals, and it’s meant to heal. You know that this is what this work is. It’s to heal both the people that I’m speaking with in this world and the spirit world as well. And so in that sense, it’s always life changing. It’s always that someone’s going to go away and feel like I didn’t either I didn’t know that was the case, or maybe even if they’re believers, and they get a level of evidential mediumship, because it has to be evidential. And what I mean by that is there are many mediums that I’ve heard over time saying, I’ve got your mother here, and she’s saying X, Y and Z. She’s saying you’re going to get a new house. She’s saying you’re going to get a new card, or, you know, you’re having a party at the weekend. Now, whilst that might be true, that that information might be true, they haven’t given any evidence of the mum. So evidential mediumship is, I have your mother here. You know, she died when she was in her 60s. She passed with a brain tumor. She has three children. She, you know, it’s evidential about the woman, first of all, to verify that’s the mum that we’ve got. Then we move on to what the mother is saying and what’s coming in about the life now, which proves that she’s still alive. So if a person can get that level of evidential mediumship and that connection to spirit, or a great psychic connection, where it’s about their life and giving guidance, and it’s very evidential in that aspect is very life changing,
Manon Bolliger 12:04
I can imagine. Yeah, oh, that’s very interesting. Yeah, no, I didn’t, I didn’t realize I’ve seen more the what you’ve talked what you’ve just mentioned, you know, where you don’t know for sure and all could be true, and then, you know, just like reading horoscope, you might say that, you know, this could apply, right? So I didn’t realize that there’s actually more when, when my mom passed away or passed over, I should say I, I thought I need some evidence, you know. So, I mean, it was obvious, like, and they took away her corpse, and, you know, like I saw it, so it wasn’t that wasn’t in question, but that she was still around. And so I told her to give me a very clear sign. And it was so clear, like it was, it was funny when I’m sitting on the porch, and the we have this thing, you know, that attracts like bees, or not bees that wasps. Basically, there’s not one speck of wind, and suddenly there’s, like, this localized turning of this thing, like enough that it’s like, it’s almost annoying. And so I’m looking at it going, oh my goodness, thank you. You know, it was so clear. You know, I was just like, oh my gosh, you know, but, but it’s funny. Then, what’s your understanding on the people who who pass over? Because I’ll give you, I mean, I can only talk from myself, because it’s not the work I do. But with my dad, I had a very close connection, but when he passed over, he always celebrated life. So he when he died, he said, just celebrate what, what we’ve had and but I I’ve never like for at least 20 years or so, I’ve never had an after he passed connection, you know, sometimes I would ask for guidance, you know, in in my business and things like that. And, you know, like you say, you can make it up sometimes, right? Or it’s just your inner voice listening to, you know, because you’re giving yourself the space and the time. Whereas, when my mom passed, which we had a much harder relationship, except for the very last few years. Oh, it’s obvious, like I can hear her. She’s joking around, like she’s liberated, whereas in life, she was really, you know, had a harder time, but I can feel her, it’s like it’s so obvious to me, right? And just recently, in the last year, I’ve been feeling like there’s a connection, but also that they might be meeting, you know, so. It’s like, it’s probably a thought, maybe a wishful thought, because I can’t, I don’t feel it well, it’s hard to know sometimes what you feel and what you think is complicated. Yeah, it’s all within you, right?
Karen Docherty 15:14
Yeah, it can be. It can be. But I would say to anyone yourself as well, if it’s a strong feeling, then trust it. You know these feelings are not going to come out of nowhere. If it was that you’re sitting thinking about things, and then the thoughts are coming. And then maybe sometimes it can be your wishful thinking or your mind, but if they come from nowhere, or you feel them, so not just think them, When thoughts come in and it’s thinking, then it can be your brain thinking, but if it’s a feeling deep within, then usually it’s true. So I would say, trust it. But your your mum, maybe has more reason to make it notable that she’s there and that she’s different because of how your relationship was when she was here. She’s letting you know that she’s fine. She’s letting you know that she’s close to you and such like and your father. I’m quite sure, you know, in a private session, I’m quite sure your father would come through. I don’t when you’re saying that to me. Obviously, it’s natural for me to kind of listen and kind of tune into that. And I don’t feel that your dad has really been away anywhere else, I feel like your dad is around you. So it’s maybe just that you’re not feeling that communication or feeling his presence in that way, but I I’m 100%
Manon Bolliger 16:28
sure he’s there. So So you feel that every, I mean everyone, I’m gonna It’s a generalization, so there might be exceptions, but you feel that everyone who passes over is there one way or another, it’s a question of connecting to them. That’s
Karen Docherty 16:48
Yes, yeah, I do. And I know I’ve had questions in the past of people saying, you know, well, if someone crossed over 5050, years ago, Will they still be there, or have they reincarnated? Or will they be connected, or have they moved on in some way? And, you know, that was a tough question when I first got asked that, because I had to sit and think, Well, what does happen? But I know from the spirit world, you know, it just doesn’t happen in that way. It’s not like someone can just say, over there, I’m going to go back as someone else now, and that means I’ve got no connection to my daughter. It doesn’t work like that when reincarnation is a huge subject, vast subject, but it’s not actually the same person that reincarnates anyway. It’s just part of the same spirit. So like Karen’s journey is here and now, and when I cross over, then that’s my journey on the Earth Dance, but part of my spirit could incarnate for another part of the journey. So it’s very complicated, but Karen, as me, I would stay in the spirit world connected to my children, my family, my soul family that are already have been there before me. So yeah, I would say that you, they are around all the time, and particularly when I’m working as well if, if that wasn’t the case, there would be times I couldn’t communicate with someone’s loved one, and honestly, it’s probably never happened that I couldn’t communicate with a certain someone, albeit, the levels of communication can be different. So it might be that I have a really strong connection with someone’s mum and their dad is there, but it’s a it’s a kind of weaker connection for me, but I would always be honest about that anyway, because there has to be honesty and mediumship. What

Manon Bolliger 19:38
Yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, yeah, interesting. And what do you think of like? Now, there’s, you know, we say often this, we’re in a spiritual war, you know, where it’s a war between evil and good. Now, you know, there’s lots of ways of looking at all this, but do you. You, does that resonate with you on on any level?
Karen Docherty 20:07
No, only from the perspective that I think there’s always been, if you look back over history and over time, there’s always been, you know, bad things, good things. There’s always been a battle. There’s always been these things going on. So it’s not for me. I I don’t see it as a spiritual war. I see that humans are humans, and they make decisions, and they can go on the negative side of things, if that’s what they’re choosing to do. So I feel like it’s a it’s a human thing. It’s where greed comes into it, money comes into it, corruption comes into all of the stuff that you know, that we hear about and that we know about that makes humans do what they do. And really, I feel sometimes that the spirit world kind of get a bit of a bad rap for it, because it’s always like, you know, well, this is, you know, coming from somewhere else. It’s meant to happen that way, from my perspective, spirit is good. Spirit is here to help and heal and move the world forward. Now that might mean that some things happen in the world, like chaotic things happen in the world, in order for a newness to be born out of that, that definitely I feel is something that happens. So it’s kind of an evolution of things, but I don’t think it’s anything of control of spirit. I feel like humans are doing what they do, and hopefully, in time, the spirituality side of it will be stronger than that.
Manon Bolliger 21:39
And you’re making a distinction I’m gathering between spirit and religion, right?
Karen Docherty 21:47
Oh, yeah. I don’t even feel like it’s like religion is religion and religion is different for everyone. And I always would speak from a spiritual aspect, rather than an organized or man made religion is more of a universal spirituality I’m talking
Manon Bolliger 22:05
about, okay, so I have questions, and they’re they’re disconnected, so just go with them. They’re coming to me. So there’s a lot of pagan, you know, rituals, right? Like, like the harvest, and there’s spring, and there’s all this, and then there’s a lot of bad rap recently on paganism, as if, and it may be, you know, I don’t, I have no real historical knowledge on this, but that it’s either demonic or it’s black magic, or it’s bad witches, or all of that. Can you comment on that?
Karen Docherty 22:52
I don’t have a great knowledge on, you know, in like, uniquely paganism, but from my perspective on how those things work energetically. I don’t feel that that comes from spirit either. I feel that humans again. I mean, it’s hard to put into words, isn’t it, sometimes, but so if we talk about magic, and people talk about, you know, dark magic and different things, magic is magic, magic. You can call magic for anything. You call mediumship magic. You can call intuition magic. You can do any of that. Now, people that have rituals to do things, certain religions, certain beliefs. You know, there’s lots of things, what all the world over, and people do certain rituals, but I don’t, I don’t feel that because somebody does a ritual, it’s going to make that happen, or they’re they’re invoking bad spirits or anything like that. I don’t see that. I see that yes, are they dealing with energies? Yes, are they maybe invoking powerful energies? Yes, that can happen. Of course it can. And you’ve got to know what you’re doing with that. So I can see how people would look at that and say that’s evil, or they’re invoking certain things, or it’s dark magic. I can understand that, but in my experience, and I can only speak from experience, whenever I connect with spirit, it’s all good. There’s not a fear. There’s not and we have to remember as well, there’s a lot of things that are put out there to create fear. So when you know it keeps people at a certain place, and you know they don’t have their own thoughts, then they’re scared to go out with that. And that goes for anything that’s organized, even even some areas of spiritualism do that. And Spiritualism is a progressive religion. It’s a it’s that’s what, that’s the religion of being spiritual. But I don’t really follow a set religion. I follow being spiritual. For me, it’s an openness.
Manon Bolliger 24:50
Yeah, I would, I would agree with, but you’re, I mean, that’s represents how I feel about it, too. What about the idea of entities? Yeah. Yeah, do you I mean, I have the experience of really feeling that I can feel this like an invasion of, you know, a person with an entity that doesn’t serve them. They could be old attachments, could be whatever, but I feel that they’re better off removed. That’s the feeling I have. And the guidance I get is, is to do that. Can you comment on that
Karen Docherty 25:34
again? I think it’s a it’s I think it’s a subject that some people experience it. And so if it’s real for them, they feel that. And so it’s not of their mind. It’s not a projection of their mind. It’s something that they’re truly feeling. But again, from what I know about the spirit world and how the spirit world work, I don’t feel that the spirit world attach themselves to humans. I think that they can be around humans, and I think that people can feel them and feel the presence. What I feel happens from that is the mind interjects, and the mind will tell you it’s something to be frightened of. And before you know it, that is magnified. And because the mind magnifies things, it’s like saying to someone who’s frightened of spiders, you know, look, there’s this tiny spider, and the person has a fear of them, and it’s out of control, and their mind is telling them it’s something to be frightened of. So the mind can actually project a lot of the fear that’s going on, whereas Spirit will come around. And if spirit know that you can feel them, they love that connection. So you know, I feel like it’s most likely Spirit just being around. Actually dealt with a case this week where a lady got in touch to say, I need your help, please. Can you call me? Which I did, and she said that for two years, every night she goes to bed and she feels this invasion of spirit, and it’s really bad, and it’s she’s so frightened, and she pads herself with pillows and things like that, and she sleeps sitting up because she doesn’t want to lie down, because she can really feel it a lot when she’s lying down. And I talked to her for a good while, and I said to her, your spirit are not going to harm you, so whatever you’re feeling, it’s not something bad. And some other paranormal groups had told her, Oh, it’s the man that used to live in this house. He doesn’t like women, he’s against women, he’s abusive and all of this. And I said to her, it’s not true, and it’s not the man that used to live there. And actually, what’s happening is you’re very intuitive, and you are feeling spirit around you, but they’re not there to harm you. So I gave her a little way to set her intention. I said, set your intention at bedtime, and have the knowledge and the trust that nothing’s going to harm you. And within three days, she messaged me and said, I’m still feeling spirit, I’m still feeling the presence, but I’m sleeping and I’m not needing to sleep sitting up, and I’m not needing to put pillows. And I said, if we think about it logically, if spirit don’t have a body and they can penetrate any solid object, what is a pillow going to do? So you put the pillows there, and it tells you you’re safe. But why would it be if spirit can sit? So think about things logically. So I think sometimes people can get in, you know, you can feel energy in someone or around them, but it doesn’t mean they’re attaching to them. It doesn’t mean they’re bad spirits trying to harm them. If you’re talking about people that like you’d say that maybe there’s, there’s energy there that doesn’t serve them. I agree. There’s sometimes where you’ll pick an energy up around someone that’s they’re maybe not being served properly. But that can also come from their higher self. That doesn’t mean it’s an external Spirit doing that. It could be something within them that they need to work on, or the FUD past trauma, or there’s things that are still buried within their soul, somewhere that they’re needing to look at. It doesn’t mean it’s an external Spirit doing that.
Manon Bolliger 29:00
Now that it makes a lot of sense what you’re what you’re saying. I mean, you know, we create human as human stories, right? Yeah, make sense of our reality, especially when there’s not much knowledge about that reality, right? So, yeah, I think it’s, it’s very interesting. Yeah, I am. I’ve never felt personally scared of these energies. So that’s how I see it, you know, it’s not like something, you know, I don’t have the experience. It might be what I need to be doing in the future, though I feel like maybe I maybe it was the right timing to lose, you know, 30 years of experience as a doctor and do that part of the work. Now, you know that’s, I feel like there’s something there calling me. It just seems possible. So anyway, it’s very inspiring and nice to meet. Somebody who’s who’s doing it and helping people. So,

yeah, and it is really to help and serve, and that’s what mediumship is. It’s not, you know, it’s not about being a medium. It’s not, I think there’s a lot, especially now social media and TV and mediumships out there, which is an amazing thing, because then it really does get a platform, and people do then start to listen and understand maybe what’s going on and that they’re they can be empowered through their own Higher Self and all of that. So I love that. But also the other side of that coin is that because of all that social media and everything out there, there’s a lot of misinformation too, and there’s a lot of people that I feel are looking for direction in their life, and they suddenly say, I think, I think I’m want to be a medium, or I want to be a psychic. And how do I go about doing that? And I would say to anyone, um, if you’re supposed to do this work, it’s a calling, it’s it’s vocational, it’s a calling. You will feel it, and it can happen at any point in your life. Just because you didn’t do it when you were 25 doesn’t mean you won’t do it when you’re 65 it can happen as a divine timing thing as well. But you you really do feel like you want to serve. And I think now it’s so easy to say, I’m a psychic and I’ve got a business and you know, and for me, it takes the sacredness away from it and what the work actually is, yeah,

everything can be corrupted that way, that’s for sure. Yeah. Well, our time is up, but thank you so much for openly discussing all of this. I wish I had more questions, but we’re out of time anyway. So any last words I could leave with you,
Karen Docherty 31:44
you know, I just it’s been a pleasure. Thank you for having me on. I always appreciate it, because I feel like with these podcasts and things that are getting out there, it gets good information out there to people and helps people. So thank you for that. Any you know, any people who are interested in the work and who want to know more about the work, can contact me, should they wish to? Karen doherty.com, but there’s a lot of my podcasts on there. There’s a lot of information on there. You don’t have to sign up to anything. It doesn’t cost anything. It’s just to let people know that there is information out there if they want to know more about this type of work.

What I can add to that conversation, after thinking about it a little bit, is it’s it comes back to, you know, our own intuition of the role that our feelings play. You know, our our sense of knowing as well as how thoughts work, right is to always be able to question your thoughts and acknowledge your feelings for I mean, feelings can be a story of your emotions, so we have to be careful about that part. If we have a if it starts with an emotion, especially if it starts with an emotion of fear. But if you’re feeling something in a by all means, explore it like I was sharing myself. I get these ideas, these downloads, and they’re they’re very accurate and and and as a practitioner, you know, I had to choose, do I pay some attention to this, or do I just throw it out? And so what I did is I tested it. I i If I felt strongly, then I would share it with my my patient, and say, Does, does any of this make sense, or have you, or did this happen around that time? Or what was happening around this time? More like an open ended question, they would answer, then I would have confirmation that I am picking something up and that that really helps, you know, because there’s so many aspects to healing, including allowing this these downloads, this intuition, this connection to spirit, to come through.
