Internationally trained Kiwi psychic medium Kerry-Marie Callander will host her show Bridging the 2 Worlds in Tauranga City on March 3, in a seven-stop New Zealand tour.

Callander, who appeared on TVNZ show Sensing Murder in 2018, will deliver powerful live demonstrations of mediumship, offering the opportunity to connect with loved ones in spirit, on her debut NZ tour.

Kerry-Marie Callander loves giving readings and helping others.

“Sensing Murder gave me the opportunity to connect with families searching for answers about their missing loved ones,” Callander said.

Insightful, eye-opening

“On this tour, I want to continue helping people feel close to those they’ve lost. I’m also proud to be donating a portion of profits to Hospice, a service I care deeply about.”

Callander said her shows would be insightful, and audiences should be prepared for some wonderful surprises and uplifting messages.

“It can be an eye-opening experience,” said Callander. “But it can also be very healing, and for some it can be life-changing. I think [the show] will offer comfort to people, especially those who’ve lost loved ones. They also tend to feel a sense of relief.”

Not everyone who attends a show will get a message, Callander said. “What I do is bring through a spirit and I will ask who can take it.”

After giving specific information to the audience, Callander said usually one member will realise it’s a real, evidence-based connection to someone they know. Then she can pass on messages.

“Spirits usually come through for a reason; they want to say something,” Callander said.

“For those who are passionate about mediumship, it’s a lovely thing to watch too.”

A connection

Callander said she’d had a connection to the spirit world since she was young, although at first didn’t realise it.

“I had a very religious Catholic upbringing and I had experiences as a child. I saw spirits and didn’t know what I was seeing. I had a girl around me who I know now was a spirit guide, but back then I thought it was an imaginary friend.”

Kerry-Marie Callander said she’d had a connection to the spirit world since she was young.

Later in life, when her marriage ended, Callander went to see a medium. “She told me I had a gift and my dad came through … it was profound.”

Afterwards, she set about learning more about mediumship. She trained at Arthur Findlay College in Britain and today is an accredited member of the Spiritualists’ National Union (SNU), one of the world’s largest spiritualist organisations.

She now shares her expertise by training students across New Zealand and online, in addition to her work as a wedding celebrant and Reiki Master.

Her 2017 autobiography, Breaking Free, chronicles her personal transformation and path to mediumship, while her podcast Spiritual Truths features international guests exploring mind, body, and soul topics.

Her skill in delivering heartfelt evidence of the spirit world made her a go-to media personality. She’s featured in Woman’s Day, the NZ Herald, Stuff and on radio stations More FM, ZM, and George FM. “I started my journey close to 30 years ago, but I’ve really worked hard at it the last 15,” Callander said.

“I love giving readings and helping others, and also empowering others who are on their mediumship journey.”

‘It’s part of me’

Does she like being a medium? “It’s who I am. It’s not a vocation, it’s part of me.”

Callander said she had come across many family dynamics and life situations during the course of her job. “What it gives you is an awareness of life, and it makes you quite wise in some ways. I really want to help heal people from different dynamics because I know everybody is different.”

She said mediums worked in different ways, but she believed they all had something to offer. “I know it’s meant to be for me.”

She invited audiences to come along to her NZ shows – in Whangārei, Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch – with an open mind and no expectations.

Bridging the 2 Worlds will show in Tauranga City on March 3 from 7pm-9pm. Find out how to buy tickets in Callander’s advertisement on this page.
