Statements from the non-profit Support Groups Denise has worked with since 2005, and from some of her individual clients~

The following statements are from the three counselors that I have worked with regularly since 2005.  Without their willingness to work with me our groundbreaking work together would have never been possible.  It is all of our goals and mission to open people's minds, challenge assumptions and in doing so give people in need of healing and answers some peace and clarity.  Each one of them has twenty years of experience in their field of specialty and although people may always question my validity and credibility, no one could ever question theirs.  All three have committed their lives and volunteered countless hours tirelessly to helping others.  Jane Heady, now retired, facilitated the Grief Support Group for Sudden and Accidental Death and also worked as the Victim's Advocate for the local State Attorney's Office while we worked together. Bob Riley facilitates the Suicide Support Group I currently work with and Jerry Eddleman facilitates the Twelve Step Group that I work with.  I have also worked over the years with several other grief groups as well as a local chapter of Over Eaters Anonymous.   

I have been doing this work long enough to know that everyone wants "proof" that I am real and actually doing what I claim to be doing, so  I hope these statements will suffice.

Jane Heady-

I am retired now, but for 20 years I worked as a Victim Advocate/Grief Counselor for Mothers Against Drunk Driving and a Crisis Center in Southwest Florida. The clients who came to us for help had lost loved ones due to sudden, tragic death, such as suicide, car crashes, over doses, etc. During my years as a grief counselor for the crisis center in Florida, I had heard many “stories” from my clients about their experiences with mediums. I had never personally had occasion to see a medium and was never quite sure if in fact connecting with loved ones who had gone before us was even possible! When a client told me that a medium they had seen privately, by the name of Denise Lescano, had offered to do group sessions for our crisis center, I was a bit skeptical. But after careful consideration I hesitantly agreed to facilitate the meetings. In the back of my mind I kept telling myself that it was for the good of my clients-it was what they wanted. I had done some research years before on mystical experiences and looking back on my own life experiences I thought that there might be some truth to connecting with those who have gone before us. However, I was not prepared for what was to come. I remember vividly the first session with Denise. I think that there were 8 people present that night. The day before the meeting I only told her how many were going to attend. She did not know names or the circumstances of the death of their loved ones.  I told her NOTHING. When the session began I was immediately blown away by what I was witnessing. I knew that the readings were true connections from beyond, because there was no way she could know any of the things that were being revealed. I knew these facts to be true because these were clients who had been coming to me for individual sessions and we had talked about these things.  There are so many stories I could tell you from all of the sessions, but a few stand out in my mind.  I was counseling a grandmother who was raising her 10 year old grandson after his mother was hit by a car while she was walking. During one session his mother came through and said that she was with him always-she said that she was with him in art class that day and told in detail what he was drawing! She described his bedroom, even down to the glow in the dark stars she had put on his ceiling for him before she died. She told him that she tucks him in bed and that she kisses him each night before he goes to sleep. Can you imagine what that meant to that little boy?  Then there was the teenage boy who had died of suicide who told his Mom, “I am so happy that you are wearing my necklace.” She stood up and pulled the chain out from her blouse in amazement.  No one could even see that she had a necklace on! He went on to tell her that he was safe and no longer in pain. Imagine how that alone helped her to heal.  I vividly remember the spirit of a 24 year old man who had died of a drug overdose. He kept telling his brother that he was worried about him and that he could see he was going down the same road. Two years later, I learned that the brother had also died of an overdose. When I called Denise to tell her she said that she knew because both boys had come to her that day when she was at home!!!  Over the next 2 years, faithfully each month, Denise did group readings for the clients of the crisis center. It was a gift beyond words to those who were in great pain. During the sessions, I would try to write down everything that the spirits were saying to their loved ones and many people carried those notes with them everywhere they went!! I saw what a great comfort it was to them and how it helped tremendously with the healing process. Denise had nothing to gain from these sessions, as she volunteered her time. Words can never express what it meant to those who were hurting. Denise Lescano is one in a million and I am privileged to call her friend.

Jerry Eddleman-

An ancient Roman philosopher, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, once said, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”  With no forethought of my own, my earlier life experiences had prepared me for an opportunity that appeared a few years ago when I met Denise Lescano.  Although she says that she never had a penchant for drugs or alcohol in excess, such is not the case with many of us.  According to a recent study conducted by the National Institutes of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 8.5 percent of adults in the United States meet the criteria for alcoholism, and another 2 percent meet the criteria for drug addiction.  In other words, at least one in every ten Americans has a serious problem with drugs or alcohol.  According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), five million U.S. citizens attended self-help meetings for drug and alcohol related issues and about one-third of those people also attended some form of inpatient or outpatient treatment last year.  When considering the impact that alcoholism and drug addiction have on family members, co-workers, neighbors, employers, and health care providers, almost no one escapes completely unscathed.  Clearly, these are problems of universal proportions that are affecting the entire human race.The disease of alcoholism took me on a twenty-two year roller coaster ride from my early teens through my early thirties and left a trail of wreckage that has taken decades to repair.  For the past twenty years I have worked diligently, as a layperson, to be of some helpful service to others who are struggling to overcome their addictions.  Ever since we began to recognize alcoholism and addictions as treatable illnesses, we’ve made great strides in the areas of medicine, science, and psychology that have contributed significantly to the rehabilitation of millions of people.  However, even the most advanced therapies can only go so far, and, in spite of our best efforts, long-term recovery rates are abysmally small. Successful rehabilitation takes place at physical, mental, and psychological levels.  But, we often fail to address another vital aspect of recovery.  The critical missing element is “spiritual.”  The eminent Swiss psychiatrist, Dr. Carl Jung, wrote: You see, "alcohol" in Latin is "spiritus" and you use the same word for the highestReligious experience as well as for the most depraving poison. The helpful formulatherefore is: spiritus contra spiritum. Experience with the realm of the spirit may be essential to the process of overcoming addictions.  Recovery from alcoholism and other addictive disorders is a complex, dynamic process, and in this effort we should not hesitate to use every available tool.  Therefore, when I became aware that Denise Lescano was interested in using her psychic gifts to help people to more fully recover from drug addiction and alcoholism, I contacted several friends, and we began to work with her.  Our early efforts in recovery were a necessary preparation for what we later learned from Denise.  She brought us important messages from “the other side” of life, and we connected to spirit guides who helped us to focus on areas that we needed to work on.  For some, it was about healing past trauma or getting honest about current life situations or challenges.  She told others about the precise things they needed to do to take better care of their health through dietary and exercise changes.  Denise painstakingly addressed each person’s particular recovery needs. Over the years I have worked with hundreds of people in recovery, and I have learned firsthand what the attrition rates are like.  A full fifty percent of those making an initial attempt at sobriety will not still be sober ninety days later, and many more drop by the wayside over the next few months.  By the end of the first year, with perhaps a single exception, every graduate of a twenty-eight day treatment program will have relapsed.  I know because I was such an exception, and twenty years later the statistics have not improved.  Most people simply do not recover, and those of us who do remain abstinent continue to defy the odds on a day-to-day basis. Initially, I contacted about a dozen men and women that I knew in recovery to see who might be willing to participate in “gallery” type readings with Denise.  Interestingly, none of my male friends have thus far been willing (I expect that to change shortly).  However, eight women have volunteered to come at various times.  Some have visited with Denise on two or more occasions, and some only attended a single session.  They represented various lengths of sobriety ranging from six months to over thirty years, with an average of nine to ten years of recovery.  Seven of the eight have remained continuously clean and sober during this two year period, and one who relapsed on pain medication is now back in recovery.  Do I think that Denise’s talent for bringing information through from the spirit side of life was totally responsible for this statistical miracle?  No, not totally, there were many other factors to consider.  However, I am entirely satisfied that the information presented to each individual contributed significantly to their self-awareness and gave them additional insights and tools to assist them and enhance the quality of their recoveries. Typically, Denise would offer certain knowledge that “validated” the information being received.  For example, she provided C.H. with insights that assured her that she was indeed in contact with her deceased husband.  Once that was accomplished, she was given information that was specifically addressed to her, such as the fact that the co-dependency and enabling patterns that she was experiencing with her stepson were mirroring the same issues that she had previously encountered with her late husband, and, if she didn’t get a handle on those issues, they could possibly lead her into relapse.  He also assured her that he would be assisting her from spirit and that it would be essential for her to stay closely involved with her recovery groups if she was to remain sober.  Finally, he tried to encourage her to not give up “before the miracle happens.”  Similarly, Denise gave C.O. validating information from her deceased mother regarding the rabbits her mother had given to her when she was still in the physical body.  Once the validation was accepted, her mother went on to discuss a life-threatening illness that C.O. was battling.  Her mother told her that the cancer she was currently receiving treatment for was a big part of the cleansing and purging processes that were necessary for her to be able to release her addictions, and other issues, in this lifetime.  M.L.’s maternal grandmother discussed with her the details of the recent traumatic break-up of a romantic relationship and then talked specifically about her recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.  Her grandmother assured her that she had successfully overcome the larger issues of her addictive behaviors and that all that would be necessary for her to maintain her sobriety would be for her to “stick with the program.” Denise brought forth specific validating information for each individual in attempts to enhance their recovery efforts.  Not once did she offer generic platitudes or repeat information from one person to the next.  She provided each person with exactly what they specifically needed to hear that would be of maximum benefit to them as individuals.  This was the most therapeutic “counseling” that I have ever witnessed.  There was catharsis, healing, and hope for everyone who joined us in these sessions. Undoubtedly, some will dismiss the possibility of this kind of spiritual assistance; if I hadn’t seen it and benefited from it personally, I might have been one of them.  But, to those who may be open to it, I see this as pioneering work with the possibility of greatly enhancing our understanding of the root causes and conditions surrounding the diseases of addiction.  It may also increase the probability of many additional recoveries from destructive habits and disorders.  No one has ever attempted to use spirit communication to enhance recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction before, and it is exciting to witness these ground-breaking discoveries in rehabilitation.  A friend of mine likes to say, “The mind is like a parachute in that it only works when it’s open.”  To that I would add Joseph Dunninger’s comment that: “For those who believe, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not, no explanation will suffice.”  I consider myself fortunate indeed to be able to share this unique opportunity with someone that, unbeknownst to me, I was previously prepared to work with. 

Very truly yours, Jerry D. Eddleman

Bob Riley-

It has been said that all of life is our teacher and we are forever in a classroom. That makes so much sense as we definitely are on a journey in each of our lives. Along the way, my travels crossed paths with a very caring, compassionate and intuitive woman name Denise Lescano. A psychic medium with incredible talents and abilities, she has continuously shown this grief and life coach what a professional medium is about.  Over the last 5 years, Denise has demonstrated to me what character, integrity, respect, compassion and sincerity is with a medium who genuinely owns these accolades. I was very honored to have been given this opportunity to describe Denise and her wonderful talents to you.  Being a professional coach who works with people in helping to build their life and assist ones in grief, my focus is on having a no nonsense approach. This is exactly what had impressed me so much about the work Denise does. My observations over the years have been one of absolute pinpoint accuracy she brings to her clients. I have sat with many, many clients through these past 5 years and the work Denise has done with our survivors group is that of “par excel lance”. I have been involved with co-facilitating a survivors group for individuals who have lost someone to suicide. We have been meeting weekly for close to 23 years presently and Denise’s contribution to our members grief walk is beyond compare and unparalleled.   Denise has been tested professionally for being legitimate, which has been very important to her work and reputation. The effects and results generated from her work, that I have observed, are indeed quite phenomenal. I know too well the stories and heartaches our members live with. Denise is never made aware of any knowledge about who she reads for. When she confronts them with factual truth, they know in that moment she has delivered very succinct, personalized information which comes from spirit. Denise has what she refers to as “spiritual integrity” which is giving the clients exactly what spirit is sending without being filtered. I have myself experienced a personal reading with Denise and she was right on the mark. To the skeptics, I say you have the absolute right to your opinion. It is unfortunate with that outlook you will never experience the quality of a connection with a loved one’s spirit that Denise provides. The lives of our members have been so enriched and nurtured as a result of Denise’s readings. They have discovered very essential information that was lacking since the death of their loved one. So much peace, closure and resolve have been given to so many of our clients. Some messages deal with future events for people to grow into and yet a number of times spirit will bring through situations and information which has taken place, well after the time of their death.  One isolated reading we had was with a son, on the other side, doing his best to persuade his mom that this is real and true by describing his grandmother’s suicide attempt. He described her lying on a bathroom floor, in a pool of blood, due to cutting her wrists. He was working real hard, as was Denise, to convince his mother, in the moment, he and grandma were there wanting to connect with her.  It took her some time to remember the incident, but when she finally did it provided the proof that she needed that the experience was real and was the catalyst which caused a sudden breakthrough in her healing process.  So many lives have been given the glow of satisfaction, validation, love, kinship, awareness and overall spiritual guidance through the genuineness of Denise’s psychic expertise. She is superb, the real deal and believe when I tell you, I willingly place my lifelong reputation on the line in validating her true psychic abilities, since ever first experiencing her reading of spirits. I would like to present to you her story about the trials and tribulations of a psychic's life journey. I am both humbled and proud to call this fine, talented, gifted and genuine person, psychic medium Denise Lescano, my dear friend.

"As a professional medium my own personal reading with Denise Lescano was "right on". Everything she said about my Mother and Step-Mother was verifiable information. My Mom who would not go to any Medium that I tried to connect with previously for whatever reason, I know had chosen Denise to be the conduit being they have something in common. I was very impressed with her work ethic, high integrity, and her moral character.

Denise brings tremendous sensitivity in to her work. She's an "evidential medium"- one of the very best for those who are skeptics. She was very accurate with providing descriptions of my loved ones. I don't recommend many Mediums for various reasons such as reputability but I can honestly say Denise is the "Real Deal."

Peace & Blessings,
Glenn Klausner; Psychic Medium - New York

When I made my appointment with Denise for a reading I wasn't a skeptic, it was a matter of (with all do respect to Denise) some medium's are more experienced than others, Denise started telling me things about my father, my nephew and a dog, all four grandparents,  whom all have passed, Denise would ask me to validate but all I wanted to do is listen, I was just taken by her accuracy, then Denise went on to tell me things about myself and I’ll tell you with all my heart, I have not told a soul about my plans for my future, Denise even told me about the book that was in front of me that I was reading, this session was over the telephone, Denise is in Florida and I’m in California, I’m studying accounting online and Denise called it loud and clear, Denise didn’t guess she straight out knew, I was confused when I called Denise, when my time came near to end I honestly felt complete, many questions I had had where answered, I had so many questions that I forgot most of them but Denise answered them like she had a list (my personal experience, I have never spoken to or heard of Denise before my readingI went purely by intuition, I don’t even remember how I found out about Denise, I was on the internet, that same day I had booked my appointment with Denise and I have been grateful since for the guidance I received for connecting with Denise and very honored to have had a reading by Denise. I want you to know how accurate Denise is, I’m very sick and I didn’t say anything about my health during the reading, Denise knew what my sickness is.  I knew when I scheduled the telephone session that I needed to be sure I didn’t have anything to hide, honesty is essential especial when you expect honesty back, I felt comfortable and trusted her and she didn’t let me down. I recommend a reading from Denise to anyone without hesitation. In my book you’re the Best.

Thank you for sharing yourself, I’m honored and I will never forget your reading  (guidance, honesty and trust ), one has to love what they do to do it so well and it shows. I look forward to speaking with you in the future when and if time permits. God Bless you for all that you do.
Thank You,
Coline, California

" I have always been intrigued by psychics ever since my father passed in 1995. I had been to a handful with the hope of contacting my father and it was only until I met Denise that I was finally able to. The moment I walked into her office she was able to make the connection of how I got her name and before I sat down she already knew each person in my life that had passed -- all of whom were waiting to talk to me through her.

Denise and I sat down for an hour and she primarily talked to my father and grandmother relaying details about both them that she could have never known. She knew the nickname I used to call my grandmother and was able to tell me details about my father’s character that was virtually impossible for her to know. The feelings and emotions I felt in her office that day were indescribable. I always believed I would see my father again, but it was wonderful to laugh and cry and know he was in the room with us.

Through sessions with Denise and workshops that she has put together I have learned to believe that this life is about growth and helping one another. She has taught me to be more connected and has inspired me to help others who are struggling to believe. She has also helped me to find peace within myself and with loved ones. I know now that we have angels around us always and that it is possible to speak on a regular basis to our loved ones who have passed on. Denise Lescano is an amazingly talented psychic, woman, mother, friend and teacher who is truly doing the work of the angels. I know she has changed my life for the better and I believe she is going to help change many, many more in her lifetime."

Denise,
Just had to let you know I am going to be a new grandma and I heard it from you in a Group Reading! What a shock...just found out today. Also after I left I realized, I did know a Jack Shoemaker who was an old neighbor. It dawned on me on the way home.

Denise,
My daughter and I came to see you June of this year. You “knew” a lot of things: that my daughter was getting married, that her father had crossed over, that she had a brother and that the brother would be walking her down the isle. You knew the wedding would be in a Catholic Church but that the ceremony would be nontraditional. You also knew that it would be “around the beach”; the reception was on the beach. You “knew” a lot of things, including that my daughter's dad would be with her at the wedding. You had told us that she would get a gift from someone but you said it would actually be from her dad. You said that it may be a ring or a necklace, but the gift would be part of the “something old, borrowed, blue,” etc. tradition. I didn’t tell anyone about what you said; I just waited to see what would happen.

At the rehearsal dinner, the night before the wedding, her grandmother (her father’s mom) gave her a gift. It was a dainty gold necklace that my daughter's dad had given his mother (my daughter's grandmother) years before she was even born. Grandma told my daughter that she should think of it as a gift from her Dad, not from her. She had kept the original pouch and box that the necklace had come in. She repeated that it was a gift from her father. It was so touching. I knew Cassie would get some gift, but this was just priceless. I “just happened” to be sitting at the table when Grandma gave my daughter the gift and was then able to hear her tell her it was from her father.
Thank you, Denise, for the service you perform. It is invaluable and provides such peace of mind and hope for those whose lives you touch.

My good friend Tessa died in May of melanoma. Denise knew nothing about my friend Tessa. She told me that there was a woman with me and she was with a small fluffy dog. The dog’s name was either Millie or Molly. (I knew that Tessa owned a dog at the time of her passing named Minnie). Denise identified the cancer as being in the woman’s lungs (true). Not being a doctor, Denise originally said “leukemia” but did quantify that the cancer had spread through the bloodstream. (I learned later that melanoma does indeed spread through the bloodstream). Denise said that this woman had been told three times that she had beat the cancer (that was true – the initial melanoma site, after it was found in Tessa’s breast, and after it was found in her lungs).

Denise told me that I had seen Tessa right before she died (yes, I had flown to North Carolina to say goodbye to her) and Denise recounted that visit to me. This amounted to a good part of the reading. At the end of the reading, Denise said that the woman specifically asked that “Jim” be told about the reading. I insisted that Denise meant “James,” which is Tessa’s brother. Denise insisted she meant “Jim.” I had no idea who Jim was, but I was convinced she meant “James.”
After the reading, I told only two people. Tessa’s husband- Scott, and Tessa’s daughter -Danielle. Two weeks later, I was stunned when I called my husband, Tony, and the very first thing he said to me was “I hear you went to a medium and that Tessa came through and that she told you….”

Here is how my husband (in South Carolina) found out about my reading: Tessa’s husband-Scott, lives in North Carolina and works for a company that has its main operation center in SC, and the office is just about a mile from my house. The office manager there is the former sister-in-law of my neighbor, Jim. Scott told Joanne about the reading. Joanne told her son and her son told his uncle Jim who then told Tony about the reading.

So, yes, “Jim” was told about the reading – just as Denise said he would be. A few weeks later, I was in North Carolina having dinner with Scott and a few of Tessa’s friends. It was at that dinner that I learned that Tessa once had a little Lhaso Apso and the dog’s name was Molly. Apparently, Molly is on the other side with Tessa.

Hi Denise,
I came to your Gallery Reading last month in Naples.
I had a great time. When it came to my turn, I was really surprised as to who came through. My old friend Bill, who was a real character. He certainly showed his fun loving side that evening. Everyone had a good laugh, just as he would have made folks laugh when he was alive.

There was absolutely nothing scary about any of it. Just like sitting in your living room with old friends. I'll be back."

Hi Denise...
You met with my sister through Project Help Thursday and I just wanted you to know you may have saved her life. You communicated with her son who took his life last year. Today when she relayed particulars of your meeting I could sense her relief and felt for the first time since he died that she would actually get through this. I do not want to over dramatize but I was very concerned about her. Thank you so much for your help.

Sincerely,
TJ
 
I recently had a telephone reading from Denise Lescano. It was a wonderful
experience. Several of my relatives came through to bring messages for me.
My son committed suicide awhile ago, and Denise picked up on that. My son's
grandfather, who has been gone for almost 18 years, came through first and
relayed that he has been waiting from my son to bring him to the light.
Then my son came through. Denise was so in touch with him. The messages my
son had for me were things that no one else would have known about, except
my son and I. My son explained why he felt the way he did before he took his
life. Even though my son is gone, and I miss him every second of each day,
it was very healing and exciting to hear from my son, to know that he is
okay, that he made it to the other side, and that he still is always around
whenever I think of him. I would encourage anyone who has a loved one they
want to contact, to call Denise Lescano and set up a reading. You will be
amazed and comforted by the messages that come through from loved ones on
the other side.

Hi Denise,

I just wanted to thank you once again for the amazing reading you gave me this afternoon. I already knew you were the real deal, but the validation that comes from the reading is amazing. Connecting me with Jack and Earl was beyond what I expected. They meant a great deal to me, and were very instrumental in helping to shape me into the person I am today. I was pretty emotional from finding out that they had passed, but elated at the same time, knowing that they are watching over me, and helping to guide me through my more creative endeavors.

You bring a special warmth with you (and your readings), and had me totally at ease the entire time. I'm sure you've heard these things before, but it's always nice to get great feedback, and there aren't enough words to express the wonderful things I have to say. THANK YOU again for this special experience.

All the best,
Lovett
 
Hi Josie

Remember when Denise was at your house and we had the Medium Reading??? She told me that Fred would get a big promotion within 2-3 years… last week the office manager came to him and said the she had been speaking with the owner and she should of asked him this long ago but, when he take her place when she retires.. And he said HELL YEAH….. She said that it would take 2 years to train… that is so cool…Denise was right….

Love ya…..

Hi Denise

I just wanted to send you a follow up email.  After having had an opportunity to listen to our recorded session many times, I wanted to let you know that several items that you discussed with me have become clearer now. 

There were so many references that would have applied to several people in my family that I could not make the exact connection, but have since put the pieces together.  Its interesting how some of the items that you conveyed to me didn't really register at the time of the reading, but are so very clear now.

I just wanted to acknowledge for you that your reading was very accurate, even though at the time I didn't get it.

I'm so glad that I connected with you and look forward to talking to you again in the future.

Again, thanks for the great reading and the good work that you do.

David H.
