Rev. Willa White

Rev. Willa White has been a registered medium at Lily Dale since 2003 and has worked full time as a medium and ordained minister for more than 25 years; she is ordained through the Church of the Living Spirit. She is the daughter of the spirit artist medium Bonnie White and grew up with mediumship, healing and spiritual practice — with meditation and development circles, conversations about Spirit and stories of the mediumship and healing abilities of her grandparents and extended family. During college, by her own account, she read every book on mediumship she could get her hands on, attended workshops and weekly development circles, and became a certified medium and spiritual healer with her church. She remains one of the younger registered mediums at Lily Dale, where she lives year-round with her husband and family. In 2018 she appeared in the CNN episode „This is Life with Lisa Ling: The Mediums of Lily Dale". For nearly a decade she has hosted the weekly podcast „Wednesdays with Willa" on Spiritualism, mediumship, healing and the history of Lily Dale. James Van Praagh has personally recommended her since 2004, she says, as has John Holland. She is also a Certified Life Coach with the CLC Institute, accredited by the International Coaching Federation, and lectures and teaches at colleges and churches. Her speciality is connecting with family, friends and pets who have passed into the spirit plane. She says plainly that contact with a particular spirit can never be guaranteed, while pointing to thousands of readings for clients around the world. A reading for one person runs 30, 45 or 60 minutes at $160, $240 and $320 respectively. For families she offers 45- or 60-minute sessions — the 30-minute option is for individual sittings only, and the number of participants is limited. One thing matters to her here: never surprise someone with a reading; everyone taking part must agree beforehand, because each person grieves in their own time and their own way. She also offers teaching consultations for those on their own spiritual path, combo sessions of reading and consultation, and a 30-minute spiritual assessment for developing mediums. Alongside this there are online classes with video options and meditations available for download. She takes appointments year-round, usually on weekdays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Eastern Time and occasionally at weekends — there are no evening appointments. There is no automated booking system: you submit a scheduling request through the form on her website and receive a reply within one to two days, after which the slot is reserved with payment. She warns explicitly against responding to social media messages that ask for money for a reading in her name — bookings go through her website only.
