I have been with Val for over 12 months now, I love the way she works, she shows so much dedication to bringing out the best in her students, she is straight to the point with throwing us in the deep end but with much love and support. Val's way of teaching is fabulous, she has had students that have never experienced working with mediumship before and in the first class they are picking up information. Fabulous.

I did a workshop with Val during the lock down and thoroughly enjoyed it. With Val's teaching style you are made to feel comfortable straight away. Straight to the point and with the best interests of her students at heart, and an added dash of humour .. what more could you ask for 🙂 I'm back doing another workshop at the moment, and this one looks like it's going to be as good as the last one 🙂

Val is funny, kind and provides great instruction as a teacher of Mediumship. She creates a very encouraging environment and uses AFC style of teaching which is methodical and effective.

Professional and experienced medium, who works with love and light. She's accurate honest and reliable. Val works privately, publicly & in churches with gratitude and good grace. She is busy updating her skills, trains and teaches students. I am proud to recommend her. Rev. Sue Edmonds, Wollongong Spiritualist Church Inc

Val is an incredible medium and teacher. Val will push your mediumship to another level. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for Val pushing me and believing in me. Val will make you work hard but the rewards of your hard work will get you places. Val has knocked on the door of the spiritual churches and created space for us to work as fledgling students gaining experience to become advance level students/mediums. Val creates the opportunity to make things happen if you want. I’ve met some lovely people both in class and out in the field working. Thank you for all the opportunities you have created for me but most of all “Thank you” for believing in me. Simone 🌸

with this being my second workshop with Val is testimony to her teaching, and teaching style. Val adapts the exercises to support the group's progressive development individually and as a group with feedback that is personal and relevant to each individual as well as for the group as a whole. She is vivacious and bright, supportive and approachable. Highly recommended if you are looking to grow in your evidential mediumship practice and abilities with someone who really cares about you.

I have particated in Vals mentoring workshop and found it to be an amazing experience. Val teaches and guides from a place of authenticity, which is a rarity. From the start we were all put through our paces, stretching our mediumship to levels above and beyond what even I thought I could do. Her knowledge of mediumship is huge, as evidence from many years of training and teaching. I am fortunate to have found Val, and have attended her workshops as well as seen her demonstrate mediumship to large crowds of people on numerous occasions. I look forward to continuing my training with her as I have found the best teacher!

I had an amazing experience with Val and the group. Val is a caring, nurturing, warm teacher, puts you at ease and 'navigates' you through. Val worked tirelessly for all involved, just amazing how she keeps going! I learned a lot and refreshed on a lot. I am amazed how many performed publicly after just 3 days!!!! Can't thank you enough Val. xxx

Val has helped so many mediums and beginner mediums to keep up their skills by setting up zoom sessions that really do work and promote the principles of Spiritualism.

Val is a genuine medium who brings healing with her evidence of life continuing after death. She also has a wonderful intent of sharing this knowledge from the heart with her teachings. Highly recommend.

My wife and I, are Spiritualist Reverends with many decades of experience. We find it an honour, everytime Val Hood is on our church and centre platform. She is a devoted Spiritualist Medium. Her Spirit connection is pure and honest. She is one of the most dedicated soul to be in service to both Spirit and her audience. Her demonstration of Evidential Mediumship is pure truth, from the world of Spirit, to the psychical plane. There we are honoured to highly recommend Val Hood for private and public demonstrations.

I have been searching for a regular workshop to attend for over 3years. I have heard about Val and her teachings, in June 2016. I attended my first workshop with Val. I was so happy as Val offered the teachings I was looking for. Exercises after exercises, straight into it. Val would explain each exercise and how to connect with Spirit, some of the exercises had a twist to them, which added some fun. My connection with Spirit is expanding and I am seeing the changes within me, my confidence is growing with Spirit and myself. When you find the right teacher everything just clicks and falls into place, Val makes you feel so welcome. I can highly recommend Val’s workshops, it’s a great place of learning and meeting like minded people

The workshop last Saturday was brilliant. This time, we were pushed even further with our information and evidence and the feedback received from Val and the other fellow students were very supportive and encouraging. I have been coming to Val’s workshop for a year now and each workshop is unique and catered for our individual development in our mediumship abilities. I am so blessed and humble to be apart of “Team Val” and to have the opportunity to learn from her, as Val truly walks her talk and also to be apart of my tribe, fellow like minded group whom are so supportive, encouraging and fun to be with. The workshop environment is always fantastic. It is comfortable, safe, fun and we get to work hard as well. Thank you Val for being a great teacher, friend and mentor.

I love the individual mediumship mentoring Val offers. Her groups are small for a reason and getting personal tips and tweaks to my mediumship is exactly what I need right now. Val attracts just beautiful people and the group is always so supporting and helpful. Not an ego in sight.

Val is unlike any spiritual teacher I have had over the years.

Firstly, as an internationally acclaimed medium, she leads by example, has high standards and inspires high standards in all of her intermediate and advanced students.

Secondly, she is clear on the purpose of developing the gift of mediumship, that is to prove the continuation of the soul of our loved ones and to let people that have lost those dear, to know that they are both near and doing just fine. The responsibility of each student in her classes to develop the skills in order to accurately and succinctly deliver this message to those seeking comfort or closure is paramount.

Thirdly, Val’s teaching style is learning by doing. Never before have I been so encouraged to dive in and do the work, to learn the work in a safe and supportive environment, where making mistakes is ok to do in the pursuit of pushing the boundaries of your talents. I have grown in ability so quickly compared to other circles I have sat in because of the example she sets, the standards she expects, the clarity of purpose for why we are developing the gift and the practical nature of the classes.

I am truly blessed to have Val as a teacher, an inspiration and someone who has reshaped my whole value set around who a medium is and their contribution to the world.

Val is truly an amazing medium.  I took groups with Val for 6 months in 2015. Val taught me so much about working with spirit and as a teacher she is amazing.

Not only is she accurate and unbelievable in detail with her readings and teachings Val is also a beautiful mentor who works closely with her students and teaches all aspects of mediumship. If you are looking to learn mediumship  or want a reading I would highly recommend you contact Val. You will love Val just as much as I do. Thank you Val for all you have done and shown me.

I have been Val‘s student for about eighteen months during which time I have had the pleasure and benefit of her warmth, generosity, humour, patience, instruction and encouragement. Val is very particular about imbuing us with a high standard of skills and an ethical framework in which to work. I have watched her students develop excellent meduimship skills and have seen a number of them successfully demonstrate these skills in public.

I wholeheartedly recommend Val to anyone interested in spiritual development.
