Sheila French has  been a medium for more than 30 years and she holds DSNUT, D and S. She is also an approved Trance medium of  the SNU.

Sheila's development of mediumship was learned the hard way by trial and error in workshops and circles.  She therefore tries to educate her students to take the easier path than she took and above all to enjoy their journey.

Sheila works both on the platform and in the classroom with trance and mediumship, but her greatest love of all is teaching.  For her every student is a unique individual who learns in their own way.  Sheila uses humour, experience and education to try to find the key to their lightbulb moment. Constructive and supportive feedback is the most important thing that she feels she can offer  students.

While Sheila has taught at The AFC she now teaches throughout the world including at her own school.  Each classroom is like a new beginning for the students, with their culture and personality being encouraged.

In Sheila's classes all students  have fun and joy all the time while still honouring the greatest of love and respect for the Spirit World.

 Julie or Jules as she is fondly known as, is the administrational backbone of the Fox Pioneer Centre. Being a medium herself with a history of teaching Level 3 Diploma in Administration, she understands the needs of the people that we work with, both students and tutors alike.

Whilst Jules is not running around after her grandkids or animals (of which there are many) she is most likely the one that will respond to your course queries, process enrollments and generally keep everything ship shape.
