Penny Francis, UK
Spiritual-Medium

Penny often demonstrates and speaks at churches in the UK, also working further afield when the occasion demands. Her teaching work is now taking her abroad where she is now a guest tutor in Norway. 

Penny has a natural ability to bring out the best in her students, building confidence where there are uncertainties, and helping them understand the mechanics of the Psychic and Mediumship development. Penny's classes are always uplifting and fun, while retaining all the sense of dignity and respect she believes working with Spirit deserves. 

Particular areas of interest are Personal Awareness/Authentic Self, Mediumship and Spiritual Philosophy, which she believes firmly underpins spiritual development and unfoldment. A huge fan of philosopher Rumi, Penny always gets to the very essence of good mediumship, which is founded on bringing love and upliftment to others.
