Psychic Autumn, Schenectady

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? I am a natural-born psychic medium, healing touch practitioner, and animal communicator. I love my work and doing phone readings—sometimes they're better than face-to-face. I read energy, and everything is energy, so call me today about love, relationships, loved ones, career- or personal-growth information.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business? My grandfather taught me ways when I was a child that I didn't realize at the time. When I became an adult, I had special gifts and skills [and] didn't even know they had names. They were just part of me; my child is gifted, as well. She's the one that gave names [to the] gifts I possess. She is fifth generation.

What do you love most about your job? It's not a job, it's a passion. When I see people released from pain and find their life struggle become easy, when things are brought to light for them through the energy that flows through me, I still amaze myself for the information I'm able to interpret for my clients.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer? When I saw my client the next time and she was in tears of joy telling me about...[the] first time her family had Thanksgiving together in 13 years, and that was because of the information I had given during her reading. It was what they needed to heal. WOW !!!
