When Jessica Lynne’s part-time mediumship practice attracted a waiting list of 800 people, she knew the universe was sending her a message, and it was louder than any boardroom directive she’d ever heard.
The former executive assistant, who’d spent 15 years supporting an empire-building entrepreneur, made the leap that would transform her from corporate professional to one of Australia’s most sought-after psychic mediums.
“I actually loved being an executive assistant,” Jessica says from her peninsula base, where she now conducts online readings for clients worldwide. “I was always highly intuitive and had a deep belief in the spirit world, but for a long time that part of me existed quietly alongside my corporate career.”
The peninsula community played a crucial role in Jessica’s transformation. Having grown up in the bayside area, she was drawn to the familiar coastal energy and supportive community spirit. Today, her entire wellness team – naturopath, chiropractor, myotherapist, and kinesiologist – are all locals, creating what she describes as a network of alignment and support.
“The peninsula has an incredibly open-hearted, supportive energy,” she explains. “When I first started out, it was the local community who believed in me before I fully believed in myself. They showed up, shared my work, attended my events and, quite literally, shouted my name from the rooftops.”
Jessica’s ability to communicate with spirits emerged gradually. Though she’d always been intuitive, it was her grandmother’s passing when Jessica was twelve that sparked her fascination with the spirit world. She spent her teenage years attending meditation classes and her twenties exploring every MindBodySpirit Festival she could find, searching for connection and understanding.
The first time it happened, it felt like I’d had amnesia for years and suddenly remembered what I’m here to do.
“I would sense energy very intensely, pick up on things around me, and often smell or feel things that reminded me of her,” Jessica recalls. But it wasn’t until her early thirties, when she found a mentor who formally taught her mediumship, that everything clicked into place. “The first time it happened, it felt like I’d had amnesia for years and suddenly remembered what I’m here to do.”
Her approach to mediumship blends authenticity, compassion, and unexpected humour – a combination that has resonated with everyone from grieving families to celebrity clients including Australian actor Tammin Sursok, and Dolores Catania from Real Housewives of New Jersey. Jessica’s Bachelor of Social Science, with majors in Psychology and Sociology, informs how she articulates messages, ensuring they land meaningfully rather than simply providing surface-level validations.
“You can go to any medium and they might tell you detailed things about your loved one – hair colour, eye colour, name – but if that’s all you get, it can feel very shallow,” she explains. “Spirits want to bring through messages of hope, closure, and healing.”
The importance of humour in her practice reflects her understanding that spirits arrive with comfort, not heaviness. “Often, spirit will bring through funny memories, little quirks, or shared moments that make someone smile or laugh unexpectedly. That’s not to minimise grief; it’s to soften it.”
Jessica’s media profile has exploded recently, with appearances on The Morning Show, 7News, and features in Vogue, Marie Claire, and Mamamia. Her podcast Talk Spirit to Me hit number one on Apple for spirituality in Australia. The show, which started casually in her living room with basic microphones, features Jessica interviewing guests from all walks of life, while her wife Jade – whom Jessica affectionately describes as “hilariously inappropriate” – chimes in at the end with unpredictable questions.
“At first, Jade was very much part of the conversation, but because she tends to talk a lot and interrupt, I eventually decided to take the lead on the interviews,” Jessica laughs. “Her energy, humour, and perspective bring a unique spark to everything we do together.”
Despite her national profile, Jessica remains grounded in her practice. She conducts readings online from her dedicated home office space, maintaining clear boundaries between her spiritual work and personal life. After each reading, she cleanses her space and consciously opens and closes herself to spirit, supported by her wellness team to stay mentally, physically, and emotionally clear.
Even in difficult messages, there’s reassurance that you are spiritually supported, and that healing and better days are on the horizon.
“I navigate difficult messages with grace and patience,” she says of the challenging aspects of her work. “Even in difficult messages, there’s reassurance that you are spiritually supported, and that healing and better days are on the horizon.”
Sceptics don’t faze her. Jessica has set clear intentions to attract high-vibe, open clients genuinely seeking healing. “I don’t see myself as someone who needs to convince anyone that the spirit world exists. My focus is simply on holding space, connecting deeply, and helping each person receive the guidance or comfort they’re looking for.”
These days, Jessica flows with what comes rather than planning meticulously. “My vision is simply to continue showing up and doing this work for as long as I can, without limiting myself in any way.”
