Lynn Darmon meets the Los Angeles Magazine staff at our downtown office, ready for a series of one-on-one reading sessions lasting 15 minutes each. There’s excitement in the air, but also a hint of uncertainty and nervousness. Most of the staff has never had a psychic reading before, but everyone’s minds are open and curious.
As people complete their sessions with Lynn, the energy in the room gradually changes. After leaving the conference room turned psychic-reading-space, people call their moms, dads, siblings and other relatives to discuss Lynn’s reading and messages from someone dearly departed that came through during the session.
Lynn’s effect on the room was undeniable. Clearly, the things Lynn had interpreted from the Other Side struck a chord within the hearts of our staff.
As a practicing psychic medium, Lynn has made it her life’s work to share her gift of connecting with the spirit world. At just four or five years old, Lynn became aware of her extrasensory gifts. The earliest experience in her memory is when as a child, she woke up with “the knowingness” that her grandfather had passed away during the night. Her mother assured her it was just a nightmare, but hours later the telegram came through confirming the news and proving young Lynn’s senses right.
As Lynn grew, her senses developed and she began to connect with the Other Side, or the spirit world, more. She first received messages from loved ones that had passed away, and eventually from the departed loved ones of the people around her. Her abilities evolved into what Lynn calls ‘Second Sight’, a gift of guidance and clarity.
Lynn’s life and journey as a medium reached a major turning point following the birth of her first daughter. Following a normal pregnancy, it was just two weeks after her daughter was born that Lynn got a serious, persistent feeling that her baby girl would soon face a serious health scare. Following her intuition, she brought her newborn to the emergency room. The doctors ran tests, did bloodwork, and discharged her and her child, but Lynn’s gut feeling did not resolve.
Still feeling a horrible, enduring fear for her daughter’s life, Lynn trusted her judgment and brought her baby to another hospital. She begged the doctors to trust her, but they found nothing wrong and discharged her again. When Lynn refused to leave the hospital, the doctors called in a psychiatrist, believing she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.
Finally one doctor told Lynn: “You’re so sure there’s something wrong with your daughter. Why don’t you tell me what it is?” At that moment, Lynn recalls looking into her infant daughters’ eyes and receiving a message. “It’s something in her abdomen. She just told me,” Lynn said. “She told you?” the doctor questioned.

Lynn ordered the doctor to conduct a CAT scan, but he asked Lynn to wait until the morning. Despite several doctors’ clearance, Lynn couldn’t ignore her inner intuition. She told the doctor that it couldn’t wait, urging them to complete the scan. An hour and a half later, her two-week-old baby girl was in life-saving surgery to combat complications in her appendix and colon.
After Lynn’s intuition helped save her baby’s life, she began to believe more seriously in her abilities and gift.
“The more I explored it, the more I learned about it, the more I became acquainted with it, the more things started happening. And then it was more about spirit communication, spirit connection, mediumship, and that’s when it evolved. It just evolved,” said Lynn in an interview with Los Angeles Magazine…
How does your day to day life as a professional psychic medium look?
It’s perfectly normal. The only things I do outside of work to help with work, is daily meditation for me. Meditation is very important. I journal a lot, so I do a lot of writing, and the writing that I do is what I call automatic writing. And then otherwise just it’s like, perfectly normal, I go to the grocery store like everybody. So it’s just mostly meditating is very important, quiet time is important to me, keeping myself grounded. And balance is very important, because if I’m gonna work with spirits, if I’m gonna work with the spirit world, it’s important for me to be just as grounded here.
What would you say to someone who has never experienced a psychic reading?
I think that everybody here on Earth, and in Heaven too, vibrates at a different frequency. Everybody is on their own path. I would love for people to expand their awareness and their consciousness around it. Embrace it and try it out. I’ve had a lot of people that are very skeptical and come to see me, and they’re not sure and they’re scared. But I always say, if they find themselves to my table or my phone on a phone call, then there’s a reason. It’s because they were guided. So I always tell people, just be open to it. Be open.
You know, there’s nothing ‘woowoo magic’ about it. It’s energy. When people leave here, when they cross over, the energy of love and their soul does not die. It goes on. They just shed their body, the physical aspect of themselves. You’ve heard the saying ‘we’re just all souls traveling through this human experience.’ Right? It’s very true. And so that’s what I ask people to do. Just kind of be open to it. Allow for it.
I set an intention, this was over 20 years ago, that [mediumship] was only to be used for good, all under the umbrella of love. Like, that’s just really important to me. So sometimes people will say, ‘oh Lynn I’m so nervous, so scared, what if I hear something bad?’ I go, ‘It’s never bad!’ You know, and it’s not that bad things don’t happen in life. We do have challenges and losses in life but my contract, I guess, with spirit, is that it must bring about a measure of healing, guidance, comfort, and validation. Those four things are very important to me.
Does the work feel different when you travel and work, for example at our Best of Beauty Awards? Is there maybe something spiritual about L.A?
What was really cool about our experience, because it was a big group of people, was that it elevated the frequency, if that makes sense. It doesn’t matter where somebody is, I have clients around the world. But what I loved about being there, and traveling is that collectively, the whole entire group, was fabulous. Everybody was so open, so kind, and so warm, that it just really elevated the whole experience for me.
The energy up there, when it’s collective like that, when it’s a group like that, it enhances everything. Because everybody’s kind of on the same wavelength. Here in Michigan people are open to it definitely, but it’s a different vibe. Different vibe, different populations. So for me, it doesn’t really– mediumship is mediumship, but yes, different populations, different cultures. It brings about a different energy from time to time.
So would you say L.A. is generally more open?
It might be. Yeah, it might be. And it’s hard to say to be honest because I mean, I have a lot of clients in Los Angeles. I have, for many years, had a lot of clients in Los Angeles. So it’s the collective energy around everybody. And also, the fact that L.A people, it feels like, are more open to spiritual experiences, and I’ve heard that about other places like Arizona.
What’s the main takeaway you want people to know about you and your practice?
Thank you for asking that. I said this recently where I feel like where we are, here, is only like 10% of what life is about, you know? And if we can expand that, if we can expand our awareness, if we can expand our consciousness, to accept that there is more than that we cannot see with the naked eye. You know, and to kind of try to open up to that. I feel that people often dismiss so much of what is so huge in life, and so much they can learn from. Because we do have what I call a spiritual support team. We have our angels, guardian angels, spirit guides, we have our ascendant masters and we have our loved ones in heaven who continue and work really really hard to let us know they’re still with us.
So they offer guidance and I feel like if people aren’t open to that, they miss out on such a beautiful, beautiful part of life. That to me is what’s so important, wanting to help people bridge the gap between this world and the spirit world, and accept it as a normal part of life. It has become in recent years much more mainstream, which I’m thrilled it’s not as taboo or ‘ooo evil’ anymore, but there’s still that little bit of a stigma.
The more open and the more accepting people are, the more they can connect with their loved ones themselves. I tell people everyday, ‘Just talk to them. They hear you. And they will let you know. And it’s okay to ask for a sign. They expect that.’ So I guess that would be my takeaway. You know, I would love for people to just be more open to this and to explore it, and know that [spirituality] is perfectly normal. Perfectly normal. Always know this, there are no coincidences in life. Everything is synchronized. Everything is in divine order.
What’s the best way for people to reach you (in the physical world)?
So I have a website, and it’s mediumlynndarmon.com, they can reach out to me on that. And I’m on Instagram, also @medium_lynn_darmon and you can send me DMs or whatever. That’s probably the best way.
