Description: 

"When you can't find peace, I'll help you hear the voice that brings it back."

I'm Katie Starnes, an evidential psychic medium and intuition teacher offering private readings with compassion, clarity, and a grounded approach. My work centers on helping you reconnect with loved ones in Spirit, receive meaningful evidence, understand what is unfolding in your life, and move forward with greater peace and confidence.

Information may come through as personality traits, memories, names, emotional or physical descriptions, and messages specific to you and the people you love. I communicate what I receive honestly and directly while creating a supportive space for connection and healing.
I also have a lifelong bond with animals and welcome connections with beloved pets in Spirit.

Whether you are seeking mediumship, psychic guidance, or reassurance about an animal companion, my intention is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Private readings are the heart of my practice. I'm also the creator of the Silent Somatic Method™ (SSM), a body-first framework for developing intuition that I've taught for nearly two decades. SSM teaches students to recognize and trust intuitive information through sensation before language — and I'm currently working to establish its research grounding alongside academics and clinicians studying interoception and intuitive accuracy.

Additional Information: 

Katie has worked professionally as a psychic medium for 29 years. Her development has included extensive private study, work within the Spiritualist Church, coursework at Camp Chesterfield in Indiana, and study at Arthur Findlay College — training that shaped her emphasis on grounded, evidence-based practice rather than performance.

She is an author and experienced teacher who has mentored developing psychics and mediums, many of whom now work professionally. Her teaching emphasizes ethics, grounded practice, and learning to recognize intuitive information through the body.

Katie serves clients through private scheduled readings. She is based near Machesney Park, Illinois, and works with clients remotely.

I had a session today with Katie and she was wonderful! She is very friendly and warm and has great energy and insight. Her intuition was very on and accurate and she asked questions and made sure things made sense to me, which I appreciated. She also connected with a few of my grandparents and the information that came through her was very detailed and specific and evidence based. It was fun to connect and see what memories and messages came through! I highly recommend Katie!

Talking to Katie was like talking to an old friend. She was very straightforward and knew things I didn’t mention to her. I feel like she connected really well with my love situation and can’t wait to update her in the future. Thank you Katie ♥️

Katie gave me the most healing reading after my dad’s passing. Without knowing he'd died, she accurately described his golf shirt, his playful humor, and even know about his specific concern for a family member A concern that I knew of, but Katie did not. I felt his presence so strongly and finally had peace knowing he was okay. Katie is gifted, kind, and genuine — truly the best money I’ve ever spent. Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Katie for well over a decade. Her readings are so on point . She is amazingly accurate and has predicted so many milestones in my life. She saw my future husband, daughter and house. Everything happened the way she said it would. She has such a special gift and is truly talented. I can’t recommend her enough!

I was really impressed with Katie's reading. Her description for my passed away husband is accurate for every single detail. I was quite shocked. I have several reading before, and Katie is the best. She is quite talented. I surely will recommend her.

Katie; one of the most loving, kind, compassionate and caring people I have met, and so amazingly accurate, and a well of wisdom and insights pouring forth unlike no other! You can just feel the genuine care and concern from her beautiful spirit. She is trustworthy, steps out of the way, and allows for spirit to work through her. No ego at all, and you just know she is the real deal. Cannot say enough about this amazing woman! Give her a try! You will be so grateful you did!

Katie is great and sweet and accurate and just gave me an Animal Reading! I was blown away by the accuracy. It was as if she knew my dogs! One was having health problems and she accurately told me where his problems were and a lot about his personality (and my healthy dogs too). Katie has given me readings too in the past and is always loving and very accurate. I highly recommend her for any reason. You won't be disappointed!

Unconditional love, compassion, understanding, healing, superb insight, extremely spiritually in tune, wonderful sense of humor, and unbelievably precise. The topping on this "spiritual cake" is, she gets it right. She is Katie Starnes! Her abilities in connecting with the spirit world are breathtaking. Do you need answers regarding transitioned loved ones? You'll get them from Katie! My undying gratitude for your help Katie!

I have known Katie from online for many years. She has helped me in so many ways. She is honest and tells it like it is, which should be that way. Anyone having a reading from Katie will not be disappointed.

I took my significant other to meet katie on his birthday hoping he would be able to connect with his stepdad. And he was able to. This experience was amazing and so positive. We will definitely keep in touch with katie and use Katie's services again. Will recommend to others.

Katie was just simply amazing. She was spot on in everything she read for me, including an issue with my health, my Grandpa showing up for my reading, and a very difficult situation in my personal life. She was incredibly kind and supportive while remaining honest in what she saw coming up for me, shared experiences to help provide solid advice, and followed up with me afterward in getting a copy of my reading and just to see if I was ok, since it was so difficult. She is one classy lady.

I had a reading this past weekend with Katie and it blew me away. She was able to share so much detailed information that helped me beyond measure. I immediately knew I would be forming a relationship with Katie and will be speaking to her regularly. Her talent, commitment, and grace with her craft are unlike anything else I've seen. Her approach and style are amazing. She is a true gift. Thank you, Katie, for sharing with us. I will forever be grateful and connected to you!

I am in awe of Katie’s gift in mediumship. She allowed me to connect with my mom and other deceased family members. It was truly one of the most incredible experiences for me and Katie was so down to earth, real and raw with us. I cannot wait to have another session with her!

I first met Katie in July 2016. Struggling with the age-old question “what am I doing with my life?” I needed some guidance! My husband came along in hopes of connecting with his parents, both who had passed on. Katie knew things that would be impossible for anyone who didn’t know us to know. She connected my husband with his parents and told me that my life's calling was to be a mom. We're expecting our first baby in August! Katie is truly gifted and we highly recommend seeing her!

I loved her....she was spot on with everything she told me. And the one thing I did not understand popped up 2 days later and I understood it. She was able to connect with my loved ones and help me to heal. I will recommend her to others and I will have many more readings with her in the future.

I had my first reading reading by this young lady and I was very encouraged by the predictions she made. I must say she was dead on about the people we spoke about. Now, I am anxious about the future. I will use this medium again in the future. She took her time with me and explained everything in depth.

I went to a reading with Katie with my mother. Katie not only focused on connecting with our loved one but also on what we can do every day to be connected with our loved ones and our sprit guides every day. Katie was very understanding and down to earth, really such a joy to experience that with her. A million thank yous will never be enough.

I've had 2 readings with Katie. Once in person and once on the phone. Both readings were spot on and I felt like she knew my loved one personally. I recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reading and am already thinking about when I will schedule another reading!

Katie was such a joy to talk to! It was the best reading I've gotten and I'll definitely chose her again. Everything was pretty spot on and I was also able to connect to my aunt who recently passed.

Katie read me a few months ago and was amazing! I was able to connect with my sister and after the reading I felt like I had just had a conversation with my sister.

Katie is amazing!! From the first moment, you will realize how gifted she is and how much she cares. She was able to to quickly connect with any issues, and more importantly my family on the other side. She is very kind. I will ask for her guidance again, and would recommend her gifts in an instance!

I had a reading September 2014. Right away Katie was able to tell me in detail about myself and correctly acknowledge my family and friends. Katie had told me my car breaks needed to be fixed. At the time I did nothing, however 3 months later I started to hear a funny sound from my car. I took my car in; sure enough my brake pads had to be fixed. Since meeting Katie, my entire family has now been read. My Grandmother (whom passed in 2005) has given many amazing details through readings to Katie.

Katie was warm, sincere and very easy to talk to. She guided me through a very rewarding reading by connecting with my dear, departed wife. Through that connection Katie revealed things that only my wife would have known. It gave me peace of mind to know that my wife was in a good place and watching over us always. Katie has a very special gift and she shares it just perfectly. Do not hesitate to let her help you as she did for me.

Katie is the real thing. She helped me understand myself better and have trust in myself. Very understanding and down to earth. I loved talking with her and would recommend her to anyone who desires to hear the truth. Thank you Katie!!

I had my first reading with Katie, what a great experience it was. I had all my questions answered and more. Katie is a wonderful person with incredible abilities. I highly recommend Katie to anyone!

Katie Starnes is the REAL deal! She has a very special connection and delivers information with amazing accuracy. Out of the many mediums I've come in contact with, Katie is at the top of my recommendation list. I've often wondered if she even knows how gifted she truly is! At the time of our reading, we had no idea she'd be featured in my second book, "We Need To Talk: Living With The Afterlife". I'm still in awe of her talents...and always will be. You won't regret your time with her.

I had my very first reading with Katie back in April. She was very down to earth and straight forward. She helped ease my fear of the unknown and helped direct me into the direction I needed to go in. She even spoke with my Great Grandmother who has been passed for years. She shared a moment from my child hood with many details that no one would possibly know. Katie is GREAT and I highly recommend her! Thanks Katie!

I cannot express enough how fantastic, and spot on Katie was with not only myself but every guest at my party. If you don’t believe in anything that anyone claims as a Psychic or Medium.....give Katie a chance ....open your mind and prepare to have your opinion changed for the better.

I have been to many psychics in my life, but Katie is different. She is very accurate with her reading, but also such a great person. Come to think of it, time for another reading!
