Sacred Moon - Cochrane

Thank you for visiting my site. This isn’t a standard ‘Why you should book a reading with me’ type of about me page on a website. I want you to get to know about me by hearing a little of my life story. If you’ve found your way here, then perhaps there is something contained within it that will help you on your journey. After all, ultimately that’s what we’re all here to do, help each other along.

My Name is Banu Halle. I’m firstly a mum of 3 adult children and husband to a wonderful man. I am also a Psychic Medium. It’s has taken me a very long time to be able to comfortably say that. Being a mum, to my 3 children, 1 step son and many international students came easy, but embracing my other gifts that have lead me to realize and accept that being a Psychic Medium and Healer is my purpose in life.

I grew up in South Africa, in a very loving down-to-earth working class family. My parents were very religious, my grandmother was extremely religious and strict. During the 60’s, 70’s there was no internet, no google or even television. So, my family new nothing of Psychic Mediums nor did I, come across this growing up. I was an extremely sensitive child, quick to cry, painfully shy, and easily thrown of balance emotionally if I witnessed any kind of conflict or sadness around me.

The biggest one that no one could explain, was me waking up at night from the age of 3 or 4 yeas old, sat on my bed having conversations with the wall. Sometimes, the language that spoke or swear words were not anything my parents thought me. For them this was troubling, how could I possibly know such words. I spent years being seen by priests, that were trying to get the devil out of me. Making offerings at the Temple and hoping that Lord Ganesha or Goddesses Lakshmi and Sarawathi would help. By the time I was 12 my senses had gotten a lot stronger. I remember my dad taking us to the garden center. I of course refused to go as I knew something was going to happen. The first time sure enough, the car broke down and we had to hitch hike home. The next week my dad wanted to go to the garden center again, I refused saying we cannot go as something was going to happen. Once again everyone laughed it off and kicking and screaming I went. I fell asleep on the way home, when dad lost control and the car swerving and eventually coming to a screeching holt. A tire had blown, the car was a write off and we were lucky to be alive.

My teenage years however were difficult to say the least. I was afraid of people, even afraid of 5 year olds. Most days I spent in fear. Wanting to hide from the world and not be seen to be good at anything that would make me stand out. I was always drawn to people even though I was so fearful, but what I came to realize was that I was drawn to those that were sad, or needed a hug, or just needed a kind word. This was when I first became aware of my natural gifts as a Psychic Medium, but I didn’t really know what it was back then. I would wake in the middle of the night hearing footsteps outside my bedroom door, sometimes hearing whispered voices and unexplained knocks. Sensing there were people I didn’t know close by and I would close my eyes tightly, begging not to see any form of spirit, thinking it would scare me to death if I did. I dismissed these regular night time experiences as nothing more than my day time terror of being bullied somehow interfering with my subconscious mind at night and my mind trying to make sense of the real fear I was experiencing every day in life.

I didn’t do anything with these extra senses, as I now see them, throughout my 20’s and early 30’s and lived a fairly regular and mundane life. My sense of knowing was always there and came in handy when there was ever a sale on. My family would laugh as I would say, “Oh I want to look for a particular pair of shoes”. We would walk into the department store and they would be on sale. I have picked up shoes that were $400 and with discounts cost me $60. My husband would refer to me as the lady in the ikea ads. I worked in Accounting and had many good friends, went through several more personal struggles plagued by low self-esteem and healed from several toxic relationships at work, but I was overjoyed at being a mum and overall life was good. I do recall that every morning when I left for work, I would open my front door and the street light outside my house would turn off. That left me scrabbling to see which was the unlock key, sure I could push any button but that would set the alarm off if the panic button was pushed. Once in my car I would drive to the top of the road. As I looked over to the house the light would come on. On my way to work the street light ahead of me would go off as I approached it and would come back on when I past it. I realized this was my dad that was connecting with me.

It wasn’t until 2010 when things started to change for me. I was sat looking at courses for my son at a University when the book flew out of my hands and landed on a page. The page it landed on was Feng Shui Consultants Program. I sat and pondered as I had always been interest in Feng Shui, so I decided to sign up. Once I entered the course I felt I had entered a whole new world where I felt at home for the first time. I was truly in my zone. I had some challenges while doing the course as we moved to our new home, and took on some international students. There were times when we had 16 in our home while I worked a full time job. Once I qualified from the program I felt a sense of achievement. Yet while we were in the new house we had problems with the lights. Bulbs kept blowing every few days, this was becoming very expensive for us. One day I said to my hubby, “you realize your mum and dad are trying to communicate with you?”, he didn’t know this, but we said hello to both of them. For the first little while every time the lights flickered we said hello to our parents that had passed and it would stop. My dad was a smoker so I smelt smoke, like someone was blowing it right in my face, my nose would burn.

In January 2014 I had the urge to further my studies. I seen a cause on oracle cards and decided to take that one. Next came Mediumship, which I was really afraid to do. While in class we had to work with a partner and connect to a loved one that had passed. By this time I didn’t remember much about my fears or senses growing up. I worked with a lovely gentlemen and began describing the person I was seeing. He said it sounded like his Great Grandfather, although I wasn’t couldn’t confirm this. He asked if I could give him a name, I wasn’t able too. Once we were done, I went to the washroom and I kept hearing a name. When I came out of the washroom I asked the gentleman if his Great Grandfather was Timothy? I said yes! That was the first time I realized what was happening to me. My the end of February I had seen a Psychic that I had know for many years, I told her what I was learning and her immediate reaction was that I was wasting my time. Did I think I was going to make a living of doing readings? I left my session feeling pretty horrible and cancelled all my classes that I signed up for. I felt so lost that this was not where I was supposed to be, yet it had all felt so right.

On March 4th, 2014, I was driving to work at 6 am. The temperature was -22 Celius, the road was very icy. Traffic had slowed down a little when suddenly my car was hit from behind. I decided to not risk getting out as cars were gliding everywhere and so drove to get into the hard shoulder, as I started driving my car was hit again, and again I decided to drive off when I was hit a third time. I was left with a concussion and struggled for many months with issues. However, I noticed I was more intuitive. Now people were lining up at my desk for a hug or a chat, saying it made them feel good. Alot of the time, people that worked in my building but I didn’t know. My dreams became more intense. Night after night I would see photographs flying by me in my sleep. The faces getting right in front of me before flying off. Many would say, “why? why? Why won’t you help us?”

I decided to take up the mediumship courses and get help to open up intuitively. I completed many courses, Akashic Records Master, Psychic Defensive, Home Clearing and Protections, Reiki Master, Violet Flame, Dragon Healer/Teacher, Master Channeller. As I developed I went through a second time of being unsure and on January 19th, 2016 I was sat at traffic lights when a truck drove into the back of my car. This was when I realized the universe was not going to let this one go. I was finally ready to embrace my gifts but still needed to get past the fear of being seen or heard. With the help of spiritual leaders in my community I was finally able to release all that no longer served me. I no longer felt like a victim or fearful. I knew only once I rid myself of this could I help others. I also realized I needed to go through all these challenges so I could understand what others are going through. I suddenly knew things about the real people I would come into contact with on a daily basis. I knew things about their past, their present, their loved ones in spirit, how they were feeling and I knew I had to help them.

I began reading for family and friends. They started referring me and I found that the strangers that came to were shocked once I started telling them things about themselves, what they going through and their loved ones in Spirit. It was the best training ground I could have ever wished for. It kept me on my toes and the psychic information and messages from Spirit got clearer and more detailed as a result. The people I read for were all strangers to me yet I could accurately tell them intimate details about their life and bring specific meaningful messages from their loved ones in spirit. It gave me the confidence and ability to make the most of my skills to help others, which I have been doing by reading for people all around the world online for the past 5 year, with word of mouth of my reading spreading, leading more people to find me. However, I still had to get to grips with being able to call myself a Psychic Medium. And that’s where you meet me now as you read this.

When you’ve experienced bullying to the extent I did growing up, there’s no bigger fear than putting yourself out there into the World with a title that still brings so much judgement and criticism from so many people. My whole life my default survival mode has been to not stand out.

A Psychic Medium. Among many other things is what I am. I’m ok with it. I’m at peace with my purpose. I truly love my work. The people who matter most to me in this world are ok with it too. So after many years of trying to hide behind other things I’m ready to fully embrace my purpose.

I’d love to use my gifts to read for you and show you that life goes on beyond the physical bodies we have. Those who have crossed to the other side have a lot to teach the living. About life, about purpose, about joy, about forgiveness, but most of all about love and connection.

With love,
