Testimonials

I recently took Carol’s “Awaken Your Ability” class, and it was phenomenal. It was an excellent, high value class. I learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it. The format was fantastic and each segment was the perfect length of time. The exercises were very helpful and aligned well with what we had just learned.

Carol is an exceptional teacher and it was an honor to learn from her. Her studio is beautiful and so peaceful. I’m so glad to have met Carol and am grateful to her for sharing her knowledge. She’s kind, patient and a great communicator, which, in combination with her expertise and experience, makes her an ideal teacher. I can’t say enough good things about Carol or “Awaken Your Ability.”

This past weekend, I attended ‘Expanding Your Ability, A Weekend Workshop’ in Charleston and while I was excited for the opportunity to work on my mediumship skills, I had no idea how transformative the experience would be. Carol gathered a group of eight women — I didn’t know what to expect and only knew one other gal (and had a reading once with another). I can honestly say that the weekend bonded and changed us all profoundly. It pushed many out of our comfort zones with surprise activities that enriched the experience in ways I can’t even begin to explain. If Carol offers this experience again, run — don’t walk — to sign up for the chance to participate. I know I will.

All I can say is ‘Wow’!  Who knew that I would be able to have a direct connection to the spirit world!  I took Carol’s 4 week course “Awaken your Ability” and then continued with her weekend workshop.  The whole experience was amazing!  Carol took us step by step into reading our own intuition … learning to listen to our guides and or higher selves and to know the difference between their input and our own consciousness.  We were also taught techniques in communicating with the spirit world.  When that connection is made, the feeling just overwhelms you with joy in your heart!

My interest in Mediumship has only been in the last couple of years.  Before that, I believed that you had to be born with the ‘gift’.  Carol’s teaching methods prove otherwise!  Thank you Carol!!!

I first met Carol through a group reading event. I was blown away to be honest. I clearly connected with my dad. I had had such anxiety all year (a first) but after that session I have been incredibly calm. I had a follow up question and Carol called me! She helped me and was patient and kind. I signed up for the Awakening your Abilities class. I learned so much. It was quite powerful. I can’t stop smiling! I also did a second group reading event. Not only was my own connection with a dear friend wonderful, watching the experiences of everyone else connecting with their loved ones was incredible. I would recommend a reading and/or a class without hesitation. She is the real deal! Thank you Universe, for putting her in my path.

I’ve known Carol Cottrell for more than 15 years as a very kind, honest, bright, and down-to-earth person. And I have been so impressed by her talent and integrity in bringing messages to people from their passed loved ones. Recently, I took her “Awaken Your Ability” class to grow my skills as a medium. Each session was fun and friendly. Carol was full of encouragement and helpful tips on various techniques. We had many opportunities to practice these techniques in class and also were given homework that was a pleasure to learn and practice. By the last class, I experienced both a stronger connection as a medium and better accuracy in the information that came through. I’ll continue to practice these skills. This class was a fantastic experience for me, and I urge others to take it!

Working with Carol has brought so much light and healing into my life. I came to her for a reading just weeks after losing someone I love deeply, and during the reading I received so many answers to my questions (which were later validated through conversations with friends and family members), so much reassurance and love, and the realization that our connection would continue on.

Because of this realization, I took Carol’s Awaken Your Ability class because I wanted to better understand this connection and make sense of the messages, signs, and feelings that I was receiving. The class was incredibly comprehensive, full of insight, kindness, and humor, and I came away from each session with an even greater appreciation for the work Carol has put into her skills. On top of that, with each hands-on activity, each person in the class ... Read More

Carol is an amazing medium and teacher! She has played an integral part in my development as a psychic and medium. I initially took her “Awaken Your Abilities” class which helped lay the foundation of my capabilities. I attended her workshops and these further enhanced my skill set. I had the privilege of her one-on-one mentorship program and my confidence and abilities have been taken to new heights. She is such a special, patient soul and she really pushes your boundaries of what you think you’re capable of. Carol’s wealth of experience and expertise is incredible to have in our area. First class training! –

I have had the pleasure of receiving readings from Carol, taking her classes and mentoring under her. Carol is an incredible medium, and a kind, patient and generous teacher. I started her mentorship still very uncertain of my mediumistic ability. Her guidance held me accountable, gently pushed me to expand, educated me about so many things (literally a whole new world) and gave me the confidence to finally take the leap and begin to practice. She is honest, ethical and embodies reverence for the sacredness of this work. Thank you so much, Carol! I’m very grateful to have found you.

Carol is not only a gifted evidential medium, she’s also an incredible and patient teacher of intuitive studies. She continues to teach me how to develop my communication with spirit – as well as the art of connecting with my own spirit. She is a healer in every sense of the word and I’m grateful for her guidance.

Working with Carol has been the greatest gift I’ve given myself.  Her knowledge and mediumship skills are nothing short of awe-inspiring, and she has lovingly (and patiently!) mentored me to a level I never imagined I could achieve.  We are so fortunate she is in Charleston.  Many people have to travel the globe to work with a medium of her caliber!

I had the privilege of “studying” under Carol. I searched for a long time to find “the right fit” for me. Carol is everything I could ask for in a teacher and a medium. I took her 4 week “Introduction to Mediumship” and found a whole new group of good friends along the path. We all bonded along the way, and Carol was the perfect mentor for our journey. Not only was she excellent teaching us, she made it so much fun. A lot of hands-on exercises, as well. I have learned so much, but still have so far to go in my goal. believe she can get me there. Thank you, Carol.

I had the privilege to take Carol’s first Introduction to Mediumship class. It was amazing. Carol is so much more than just “the teacher”; she is such a wonderful person and mentor. Carol creates a space where you feel safe to learn and develop your gifts. Carol encourages, listens and helps you build the confidence to believe in yourself. I highly recommend Carol – whether you take her classes or go for a reading. She is an amazing, caring and very gifted medium and friend.

Working with Carol has been one of my greatest joys over the last few years. I was connected to her originally by a mutual friend during a year filled with loss, tragedy & grief in my life.  I was skeptical of mediumship, although I had had my own experiences over the years that I couldn’t explain.  My rational mind and Catholic upbringing had me discredit and fear that which I could not explain.  I was, however, open, curious, & grieving and through Carol and her connection to Spirit was able to gain a tremendous amount of comfort & peace surrounding those I had lost.  I believe, without a shadow of a doubt  after working with Carol, that our loved ones are always with us even if they are no longer in physical form.

I have since worked with Carol as a student through her classes & private mentorship and have been t... Read More

I delayed taking a mediumship class until I found a teacher I felt that I could trust. That teacher is Carol. She is loving and sensitive while being grounded, very experienced and highly disciplined, all of which give her teachings and readings accuracy and effectiveness. She jam packed each night with information, laughter and hands-on experiences. She provided a warm environment where everyone could share concerns and insecurities. We now have a group of friends for life and undying respect for Carol and her work.

Carol is amazing. Yes, she absolutely is the real deal. But what she does is so far beyond just giving message, she is a teacher and helper at heart. After having a reading with her I felt I had to know more and took one of her classes. I would put myself in the not gifted category but with her skills as a teacher it is clear we all have these gifts but just don’t know how to connect to them. Go, get a reading, take that class, don’t think about it just do it!
