Antje Bourdages
I believe we are born into this world having absolute knowledge of the unseen world around us. At birth, in order to live in the agreed upon reality we all call a human life, we slowly lose that ability, a technique of survival as well as social requirements. Some individuals, however, retain that ability to see the unseen, hear the inaudible and feel the intangible.
I work with clients throughout the United States as well as internationally. In addition to being a Psychic Medium, I am a Certified SAGE Teacher, Reiki Master Practitioner (RMP), a Kundalini Reiki Master Practitioner, a Shamballa Master Practitioner, and have been trained in The Melchizedek Method (Levels 1 and 2).

MY STORY
When I was a small child living in Brooklyn, I unwittingly began to connect with that intangible world. I heard people whispering to me and saw things others didn’t, much to the consternation, frustration and worry of my parents. Even at a young age, I was extremely sensitive and could feel the energy around me and became overwhelmed, in equal parts, by crowds and silence. Becoming more and more distressed, and knowing I didn’t have the tools to deal with the scary things happening around and to me, I learned quickly how to shut down the information coming in; after all, I was ill-equipped at that age, and had no one to confide in or from whom to seek guidance in such things. I learned that always having the television set or music on helped me tune out the voices and served as a distraction to feeling what I was feeling.
After learning how to numb my environment, I lived a pretty normal life. I graduated high school, finished college, started a career in the legal business, got married and had a family. I really didn’t talk about my past experiences. There would be occasions, however, when the carefully constructed walls around my intuition would crack a little bit; little things like when I knew someone would call before they actually did, when I could tell what would be on the radio before I even turned it on, to more scary occurrences like when I knew something spiritually dangerous had found its way into my children’s room in the middle of the night. Despite these occurrences, I maintained a tight hold on my environment, refusing to allow myself to feel vulnerable to the energy I felt all around me, all the time.
When my children were teenagers I began to dip my toe in the water, so to speak. At that time “ghost hunting” and paranormal topics began to be big business in the media. By the time my children were preparing to go off to college, I made the choice, with the urgent pushing of my Guides, to dive head-first into what I once was so afraid of. I was led to the incredible and internationally-known Medium, Isabeau Maxwell, who became my teacher and mentor. I began to intensively train to hone my abilities to be able to make extremely accurate connections between the living and their deceased loved ones and Guides.
Today I embrace my abilities. I’m a Medium. I concentrate on spiritual and/or energetic clearings of people and property. Equally as important, I help people discover what lies beyond their awareness and connect them with their deceased loved ones and guides through intuitive readings. I also assist people in spiritual/energetic balancing and healing through focused Transformational Energy Work and life path advancement mentorship and consulting.
“Life poses us all challenges that some days feel like an endless climb up a mountain, but having the guidance and support of such a profound human being like Antje has been a life saver for me.”
