I believe that my true mission and purpose in this life is this:

To use my gifts to transform and heal others by empowering them to stop stopping themselves—and instead, believe in and love themselves. Once self-love and self-belief are realized, I truly believe all of us have the power to see our own magnificence and manifest all that we desire and deserve.

My fans say they are drawn to my methods because I speak to them as a friend would, with genuine compassion and pure love, using words that resonate with their whole being.

But perhaps what they respond to most is that I’m not afraid to get in the gutter with them and tell it like it is.

My psychic and mediumship abilities allow me to reach into the beyond to find and define meaningful guidance for my audience. My psychotherapy skills helps them use this enlightenment to heal and grow.

Yes, I may smack people upside the head (figuratively, of course!) with tough-to-hear messages, but in the end, they always hug and thank me, and dance out the door, completely energized, hopeful, focused and filled with love!

Robert has experiences from a very early age, being born with the ability to see Spirit. Though at the time not understanding the experiences, these became fully clear and explainable after Robert attends The Spiritualist Association of Great Britain, Belgrave Square, London, as a teenager in the early 1970s.

In the 1990s Robert undertakes more travels, notable events were: in 1994, medium James van Praagh has a sitting with Robert and invites him to join in double demonstrations. This results in numerous events which were attended by up to 400 people. In 1996, Robert gives a reading to John Edward; again, collaboration with double demonstrations follow and a residential retreat is organised by John in Barbados in 2000. Later, Robert is delighted to be invited by John, along with Suzanne Northrop and John Holland, to demonstrate at his “4 Mediums” event in Las Vegas with an audience of 1,980 people.
