Elvira Bisswurm

Elvira Bisswurm is a medium and a licensed alternative practitioner for psychotherapy in Schopfheim in the southern Black Forest, Germany. Born in 1961, she passed the examination as a Heilpraktikerin for psychotherapy in 2007, having previously completed a distance-learning course as a psychological counsellor and voluntary training as a telephone crisis counsellor with the German child protection association. From 2011 she spent five years training as a medium with Paul Meek in Munich, and has taken part in further training, workshops and seminars ever since. She first encountered physical mediumship in a basic course with Judith Fasler in Switzerland and later took courses with Amara Yachour; since the beginning of 2020 she has led a private physical circle of her own. Added to this are training in hypnosis, trance healing, Reiki and shamanism. "A medium is an intermediary between both worlds, between the earthly level and the spiritual level," she writes – no one can promise healing, she adds, and to do so would be dishonest. Bisswurm gives an afterlife contact in a sitting of about one hour for 100 euros; spiritual counselling with afterlife contact costs 120 euros and is also available by telephone, with the appointment and advance payment arranged beforehand. Alongside this she runs her holistic hypnosis practice: individual sessions on blockages, fears, learning support and stress reduction last one and a half to two hours and cost 135 to 180 euros, a past-life regression session lasts two to three hours and costs 600 euros, and there are programmes for giving up smoking and alcohol and for weight reduction. Her circles – one mental, one physical – meet roughly every four weeks, complemented by a discussion group and day workshops on the question "How mediumistic am I?", in which participants can also try out working in the cabinet.
