The loss of someone close can often lead us to search for spiritual truth, but for Wayne Isaacs meeting a medium after the death of his mother proved a turning point from which he’s never looked back.
“She said I was born with inner light,” says Wayne of his encounter with a clairvoyant. “I lost my mum in 2003 and went with my dad to a spiritual church and it changed my life.
But there should be a six month gap between readings. It’s important to remember you’ll only get what you need, not what you want

“I didn’t know what I had. Validation is what this lady gave me. I thought we could all do it. I thought everyone could see, hear and sense things.”
Born at Northwick Park Hospital, Wayne attended Priestmead Junior School in Harrow and went on to Park High School in Stanmore. He now works for haart Estate Agents and lives in Borehamwood with wife Katie, a hairdresser.
After joining the Inner Light circle group in Borehamwood in 2003, Wayne started doing platform readings for audiences of up to 50 people.
“I also did one-to-one readings and helped out with a psychic fayre in Meadow Park. After three years, I took a break and after that I joined Finchley Spiritualist Church and did several demonstrations there.”
Wayne is now comfortable with his situation, but says it was difficult to cope with in the early years.
“I remember not being able to concentrate well at school, there was always another voice with me that I couldn’t always shut off. It affected my ability to listen and I was scared to tell anybody about the things I was seeing, sensing and hearing.
“At one point, I thought I was going mad. It wasn’t until I found my comfort zone, which is helping others with my gift that I realised this is not the end, but just the beginning.”
To enable people to put him to the test, Wayne has set up a Facebook page offering people free five minute phone readings as a taster. He then charges £20-£30 for a one-hour reading.
I decide to meet Wayne and see what he has to tell me. Although some of his reading does not match with anything I have experienced to date, he is able to tell me details about a close family member who passed away some years ago. Wayne talks with such uncanny accuracy that I cannot dispute his insight and come away feeling richer and more positive following the exchange. I can see why people are drawn to his readings.
“Some people find it very addictive,” warns Wayne. “But there should be a six month gap between readings. It’s important to remember you’ll only get what you need, not what you want.”
Wayne recounts other occasions when people have been moved by his readings, especially when just meeting with friends.
“I was in Chicago, having a joke and someone asked ‘is there anyone else here?’ and I got a grandmother’s spirit coming through – I described the house where she lived – and they said I was right but she was still alive, and then their mum was on the phone to say the grandma had just passed away.”
I ask Wayne how he manages to live a normal life.
“I never really close down. I keep busy and don’t have time to think about it. The work I do is very draining, but I’m passionate about it.”
Wayne will be taking part in a radio show for Philadelphia radio AM/FM on Saturday, December 5 at 8pm. You can listen to him on blog radio at: www.yourmentalhealthradio.com l For more information: www.wayne-isaacs. co.uk
