Testimonials
I’m grateful for every opportunity to connect those in spirit with their loved ones, and thankful to all the clients, students and retreat participants who share their experiences. Nearly every connection brings about healing, and when your story is shared, you encourage others to reach out for their own opportunity for healing. What could be more loving than that?
Client Reviews
I first met Carol through a group reading event. I was blown away to be honest. I clearly connected with my dad. I had had such anxiety all year (a first) but after that session I have been incredibly calm. I had a follow up question and Carol called me! She helped me and was patient and kind. I signed up for the Awakening your Abilities class. I learned so much. It was quite powerful. I can’t stop smiling! I also did a second group reading event. Not only was my own connection with a dear friend wonderful, watching the experiences of everyone else connecting with their loved ones was incredible. I would recommend a reading and/or a class without hesitation. She is the real deal! Thank you Universe, for putting her in my path.

Working with Carol has brought so much light and healing into my life. I came to her for a reading just weeks after losing someone I love deeply, and during the reading I received so many answers to my questions (which were later validated through conversations with friends and family members), so much reassurance and love, and the realization that our connection would continue on.
Because of this realization, I took Carol’s Awaken Your Ability class because I wanted to better understand this connection and make sense of the messages, signs, and feelings that I was receiving. The class was incredibly comprehensive, full of insight, kindness, and humor, and I came away from each session with an even greater appreciation for the work Carol has put into her skills. On top of that, with each hands-on activity, each person in the class came upon moments of connection–both with ourselves and with those on the other side. For me, this translated into providing me with a deeper level of trust in both myself and the messages that are coming my way.
As I continue on in my spiritual awakening, I’m so grateful to have been led to Carol and to have had the opportunity to take part in her class. The lessons I learned here have opened me up and changed my life. The women I’ve met through this class have also provided me with a community of like minded, spiritually awake women, which is invaluable in itself. I’m so very grateful to Carol for her gifts and her guidance.

Carol is one of the most talented people I know. She has not only helped me connect with loved ones, but also for several of my friends and family. Her loving approach has been instrumental in personal healing and growth. What Carol can do is incredible, but more important is her approach. She takes time to explain the process, how her gift works and what you can expect. From there it’s up to our loved ones. :). Thank you Carol for the many wonderful connections you have facilitated for my family!

Mind blowing accuracy, incredibly amazing…but above all else HEALING. These three beautiful souls bring messages, validation, and love from people we thought we have lost, and comfort in knowing that, in fact, our loved ones are amongst us, haven’t missed one moment, and watch over us every day. This experience changed my life, and I am forever grateful for showing up for this. Whether you are in pain, grieving, or just curious, it’s definitely something you don’t want to miss.

When I lost my father to suicide in 1999, it was the most devastating event of my life. There were so many unanswered questions and so many unresolved issues. Worse, this person that I was so close with was gone forever and I would never be able to talk to him again. For 17 years, I have longed for some way to reconnect with him-to know he was okay-and at peace. A friend took me to Messages from Heaven in Charleston in the spring of 2016. I didn’t really believe my Dad would come through. Within two minutes of Carol taking the stage she made contact with “a very loud man who stepped forward and saluted”. I knew without a doubt that was MY Dad. She went on to provide the names of my husband and my daughter and gave messages and details that could have only come from him. I don’t think I have ever cried so hard. My tears were not from grief-but from immeasurable joy. One month later, my friend was having a private reading with Carol and my Dad came through again! This time, he gave Carol my exact birthday May 2, the name of my daughter and husband, the name of my business and went on to communicate messages that only he would know I needed to hear. I have felt so much happier knowing that I have a way to connect with my Dad. I feel an amazing sense of closure and peace that I have not had since the day he left us. I can not thank Carol enough for sharing her gift with others. I don’t understand how it all works but I know that it does and for that, I am very grateful.

Carol has done intuitive readings for me, as well as communicated with dead relatives. I never thought of myself as the type of person who would really believe in these amazing abilities, as an emergency physician who has always been pretty scientific minded. Carol definitely has opened my mind and made me a complete believer. Carol is a beautiful, amazing gifted individual. I have always felt overjoyed and at great peace each time we have had a session. I would highly recommend Carol to anyone wishing to connect with those that have gone on or just for a little direction in life. I will cherish all of my amazing experiences with Carol, which are just too many to try to list.

Carol has a true gift. I came to her when I was still raw and grieving for a dear friend who passed away. She was able to connect with him, allowing me the comfort, peace and validation that he was safe and at peace. I have also had the opportunity to witness Carol practice physical mediumship where she was able to embody the spirit of a deceased loved one. It was one of the most amazing, healing and truly inspiring experiences I have yet to experience. Carol’s messages are only of love, and are always of the most pure intent exemplifying her grace and compassion. I highly recommend her services.

Carol Cottrell’s amazing abilities have helped me through many events in my life. I’ve seen many mediums in the past, but Carol was the only one who could truly tap into those I needed to talk with. She’s a compassionate soul who has been there to guide me through life changes such as career changes, family concerns and much more. She’s been a blessing to me. The universe brought us together for a reason and I’m so thankful for that.
Ryan Nelson
My sister and I had the privilege to get a reading from Carol. She is not only an excellent medium, but she is truly a remarkably gifted spiritual person and this comes through in her work. She made us feel very comfortable. Her caring and calm personality was so peaceful and relaxing. We had no idea what to expect from the experience and it was truly breathtaking! We got numerous validations which weren’t just generalizations or guesses. No leading questions were asked of us, only answers and facts. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift with us! Without a doubt, it was an evening we won’t forget anytime soon!

This was my first visit with a medium and I couldn’t have been more impressed and happy with my experience. I did extensive research to find someone genuine and I was not disappointed. Ms. Cottrell was such a delight and explained her process well. I appreciated the suggestion to take notes, as my recorded session later got deleted. I was careful not to reveal any information and I was fully aware of the minimal if any revealing google information. The spirit that I hoped to connect with came through. I was able to confirm information as it came through. She described specific appearance, details, and dates that was not public knowledge and otherwise couldn’t have known. I am so grateful to have such an incredible gift shared with me. Information may come through that won’t make sense. Trust me, it just might later. My spirit showed her a belt buckle and I had no clue what significance that had. A close family member immediately broke down as I was telling her about this. I was reminded of the significance and it left us in awe. I would definitely do this again. Thank you for giving me the peace I needed.

I saw Carol today for my very first medium experience. I had all my hope into talking to my husband who recently passed. I was in awe of her. she was just about as spot on as they come. She is genuinely sweet hearted, calm, understanding, and extremely reassuring. There is a whole ton I want to explore more and I will absolutely be scheduling again soon. I absolutely recommend her. She also explained the difference of things to me as well as how she perceives the word, meaning sight, smell, feelings etc. Carol is truly truly amazing.

retreat experiences
"This retreat was so nourishing and enriching for me. I learned more about myself and was able to deeply connect with the magic in nature and in Ireland. We had the perfect blend of people, and we all formed deep lifelong friendships with each other as well as with people we met along the way.Our lodgings at Minmore Mews was just fantastic! Our Irish host Donal went above and beyond for us with his generosity, kindness and great sense of humor! The whole trip was absolutely divinely orchestrated and wonderful! Carol and her team (Reiley and Neomi) brought nothing but love , support and FUN to this experience. I had an absolute blast during this journey of learning and self-growth, and I will sign up again for another fabulous retreat with Carol, anytime and anywhere."
Laura Allison
"Nurturing Our Connections was filled with extraordinary experiences! This retreat was the perfect blend of mediumistic experientials and learning new ways to connect to our soul’s purpose, to our spirit guides, and to the various spirit energies that surrounded us nature.The beautiful setting really enhanced our connection to the earth and enabled us to easily tap into her healing energy in ways that were quite powerful. The sound bath was really the frosting on the cake. I loved every minute! How soon can I sign up for another?!"
Elizabeth Yingling
"After 2 recent deaths in my family, I needed some clarity and time to grieve. I decided to attend the retreat in Ireland for a number of reasons. I needed to quiet my mind and make peace with the guilt I was feeling for not being present when my family members passed. I went to Ireland with an open mind and wanted to open myself to all possibilities of connection. Connections with my loved ones, nature, the past, the present and the magical healing that Ireland provides. I came away changed and filled with thoughts of new beginnings. I highly recommend this retreat."
