Bob Olson: What label or
description do you give yourself when a stranger asks
what you do for work?
Janet Nohavec: I am pastor of a
Spiritualist Church. I am also a medium and conduct
private sessions.
Bob Olson: When did you first
recognize that you had this gift?
Janet Nohavec: I
knew at the age of 4 I was seeing spirit people, but was
not able to put a name on (it) the experiences I was
having, until
after I left the convent.
Bob Olson: When did you begin
doing this work professionally?
Janet Nohavec: I began to work
professionally 12 years ago.
Bob Olson: Have you had any
formal training or instruction for this work?
Janet Nohavec: I have had
extensive training from some great mediums from Great
Britain at Stansted Hall. Most of those I trained with
are long gone. It is has been our goal to recreate a
School for Mediumship that is unique in America.
Bob Olson: What other
educational degrees, certifications or learned skills do
you have that help you in this work?
Janet Nohavec: I
do not have a college degree. I believe my years spent
as a nun helped me to realize that my gift is in service
to people. Many of the great seers, saints and mystics
had similar experiences.
Bob Olson: What is your
intention or motivation for doing this work?
Janet Nohavec: I am motivated
by a deep belief and knowledge that life goes on. I
attempt to demonstrate that quality mediumship can be a
bridge to those who have crossed to the higher side of
life. It is
also my hope to take the fear out of the process of
dying and our transition.
Bob Olson: How long do your
readings last and why did you choose this length of
time?
Janet Nohavec: My private
sessions are usually one/half hour, I feel I can help
and accommodate more people using this length of time.
Bob Olson: What can one expect
during a normal reading with you?
Janet Nohavec: My clients can
expect to be part of an evidential and heartwarming
experience with those they have lost. For their session
I am totally their conduit with spirit, many of my
clients also want to investigate their future, most of
my sessions are a combination of both mediumship and
seership.
Bob Olson: How is a reading
with you "similar" to what people have seen on
TV when John Edward gave a reading on his show
"Crossing Over With John Edward?"
Janet Nohavec: The similarity
is the evidence that helps you to know you have
contacted a departed loved one. John also has a
wonderful sense of humor and is truly a spiritual
person.
Bob Olson: How is a reading
with you "different" to what people saw on TV
when John Edward gave a reading on his show
"Crossing Over With John Edward?"
Janet Nohavec: I
believe a private session, which is confidential, allows
for more freedom than a public demonstrations of
mediumship.
Bob Olson: What instructions do
you give new clients before a reading?
Janet Nohavec: I
let my clients know the first people coming through are
passed over. I ask them to keep an open mind. I also let
them know their feedback is very important. Once I make
statements, validation either in yess or nos is
very important. The sound of their voice is very
important to me and their reading.
Bob Olson: Is there anything about your gift or
abilities that is unique from most other psychics or
mediums?
Janet Nohavec: I believe each
medium is very unique, therefore no two readings would
be alike.
Bob Olson: If you do events,
seminars, workshops, lectures or retreats, tell us about
them. What are they like, how often do you do them and
how do people benefit from attending them?
Janet Nohavec: I teach an
extensive amount of classes both here in New Jersey and
in Lily Dale, New York. I focus on psychic development,
angels, Physical phenomena, and of course evidential
mediumship and platform presentation. One can check our

Journey Within Spiritualist National Union Church or

I also do public demonstrations of mediumship on a
regular basis. Those who have attended the classes are
know they are being taught by credible knowledgeable
teachers. We also run two retreats a year.
Bob Olson: Do you do phone readings, in person
readings or both?
Janet Nohavec: I conduct both
types of readings
Bob Olson: How does one contact
you to set up an appointment for a reading?
Janet Nohavec: The best way to
contact us is by calling our offices at 1-973-616-9685. if
you email us, my secretary will contact you by phone.
Bob Olson: Is there anything
you would like people to know about you or your gift
that we have not yet discussed?
Janet Nohavec: I believe with
all my heart that mediumship is a sacred gift. I value
the opportunity to share time with my clients as I part
the veil between worlds for them for a brief time. I
love to teach others to develop and become aware of
their own gifts. I love what I do.
