Where can you listen?

What happens when a psychotherapist starts talking to dead people?

Dr. Maria Elara (formerly Rothenburger), PhD is a psychotherapist, psychic medium, and skeptic-ish person who has learned that science and spirit don’t have to live in separate rooms.

The Reluctant(ish) Medium explores mediumship, intuition, spirit babies, grief, healing, consciousness, and the strange, beautiful experiences that don’t always fit neatly into what we think we know. Expect grounded conversations about decidedly ungrounded things, thoughtful curiosity, humor, and the occasional existential rabbit hole.

You don’t have to believe everything. Maria certainly didn’t. Come curious. Stay open. See what happens.
