Val Hood is now one of the UK’s most popular and powerful mediums. Her insightful personal readings and inspirational shows, tours and events bring hope and happiness to hundreds of bereaved people and their families every year.

She is passionate about people and removing the fear around mediumship and loss for people of all backgrounds often also appears in the press, radio – including being featured on Living TV.

Having spiritual gifts and the power to connect with others, have led Val to being called in to help various organizations, social groups and others. She is regularly in demand to carry out everything from war memorial group sittings to helping landlords with haunted homes and pubs.

Val began demonstrating a positive and compassionate application of her gift in front of tiny audiences in spiritualist churches in the late 1990’s. She continues to serve churches and also does private sittings, group bookings and teaches spiritual development.

Val 50, balances her remarkable work with being everyday supportive loving mum. As well as running a highly successful spiritual career she still is Managing Director of EBS a traditional and reliable secretarial firm in the South East that she built from scratch to help support her family.

"I never intended to become a medium. I only attended a spiritualist college to learn about it but now it is a vital element in my life. Contacting departed loved ones is not sinister or morbid. Often there’s fun and humor, and for me it is part of everyday life. I have been seeing my grandmother since the age of 12, four years after she died. I woke one night to find her tending one of my sisters who was ill at the time. Love continues to flow after death and my role is to give people the contact they need to reconcile themselves with their loss and make sense of those former relationships."

She is a frequent visitor to the Arthur Findlay College at Stansted Hall as a student. Is a class B member of the Spiritualist National Union (SNU) and currently working through certificates of recognition with the Union.

Val receives letters, calls and emails after every appearance from people claiming lasting emotional benefit.
