Im the Long Island Medium (maybe youve heard of my reality show?), a New York Times best-selling author, and an incredibly busy mom, wife, and all-around family gal. I was born and raised on Long Island in Hicksville, NY and have been married to my husband Larry for 25 years. We have two children, Larry and Victoria, and Im close to my parents, who are still very much alive. I also have a brother named Michael and a feisty Yorkie we call Louie (short for Louis Vuitton).Ive been seeing, feeling, and sensing Spirit since I was four years old, but it wasnt until I was in my 20s that I learned to communicate with souls in Heaven. After suffering from debilitating anxiety and trying to manage it on my own and with a therapist for years, my mom introduced me to a spiritual healer and teacher named Pat Longo. After just one session, she told me that I was suppressing Spirits energy, which caused a lot of my anxiety, and helped me learn to channel Spirit through my chakras and release it with my words. I began to heal and come into my own.When I accepted my gift, I decided to use it to deliver healing messages that would help people learn, grow, and embrace life. Ive been a practicing medium for over ten years now and tour the country with my live show Theresa Caputo Live! The Experience. Ive also written two books: Theres More to Life than This: Healing Messages, Remarkable Stories, and Insight from the Other Side (Atria Books, 2013), which debuted at #2 on the New York Times best seller list, and You Cant Make This Stuff Up: Life Changing Lessons from Heaven (Atria Books, 2014). Considering I started this work with just a business card and word of mouth, I pinch myself when I think about what a crazy ride its been for a typical Long Island mom!Clients, fans, and the media always ask me to describe how I receive information, and its hard to put into words because I see, hear, and feel things differently than we do in the physical world.
