Evidential Mediumship Reading
Connection, comfort, and validation — handled with care
Mediumship is never about prediction or theatrics. It’s about connection, clarity, and gentle messages that support healing.
A mediumship reading is a compassionate, evidence-based connection with your loved ones who have passed.
During this session, I tune into the messages, memories, and impressions they share—bringing through details that validate their continued presence, love, and personality. My work is grounded, respectful, and honest. These readings are meant to bring comfort, clarity, and a sense of connection, not predictions or theatrics.
Sessions are typically one hour. Virtual or in-person depending on your location.
What to bring:
An open heart
Optional: a photo or memento of the person you hope to connect with
PraPractical End-of-Life Planning
Getting your affairs and wishes in order
We create clarity and peace of mind through practical planning, including:
Advance care directives
Preferred environment and comfort measures

“There is nothing wrong with feeling lost, afraid, or unsure in the face of death. We aren’t meant to navigate these moments without support. I’m here to bring calm, presence, and guidance to the places life never taught us how to go.”

MEET YOUR Guide
Amanda Doak
PhD, CSC, Evidential Medium and Death Doula
Hi, I’m Amanda — an end-of-life doula, spiritual counselor, evidential medium, and someone who believes that the hardest parts of life deserve the softest, most steady support. My work is rooted in dignity, presence, and a deep respect for the human experience. I don’t rush people through their fear or grief; I sit with them, guide them, and help them find meaning and calm in moments where nothing feels stable. My background blends spiritual education, practical doula training, intuitive skill, and more than a decade of experience working in human services and the court system — the kind of experience that teaches you how to stay steady when life tilts sideways.
I approach every client with warmth, honesty, and autonomy-centered care. Whether I’m supporting someone at the end of life, helping a family navigate a loved one’s final days, offering spiritual counseling, or connecting through mediumship, my intention is always the same: to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and deeply human. You don’t have to be brave alone. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to pretend you’re not afraid. I’m here to walk with you — slowly, gently, and with the kind of presence that doesn’t look away when things get difficult.
