Frequently Asked Questions

A spirit medium is a person with the ability to establish contact with the spirit world and receive and pass on messages from those who have passed. Rebecca Gischel is a spirit medium based in Munich and works evidentially — meaning she provides verifiable evidence before conveying messages. Book an appointment — because connection awaits between heaven and earth.

A trustworthy medium works without prior information, makes no promises of healing and does not guarantee contact with a specific person. They do not play on your fears or create dependency. They are transparent about the process and fees, clearly state what they can and cannot do, and make no claims about the future. Should no contact with a deceased person come through, the amount paid will be refunded in full.

Yes — and in my experience it works just as well online as in person. Mediumistic perception is not dependent on physical proximity. The spirit world knows neither space nor distance. For an online session you will need a stable internet connection, a webcam and a microphone. You will receive the video call link shortly before your appointment.

Sessions take place either in person at my practice in Munich or via video call. The quality of the session is the same either way. My practice is centrally located in Munich-Maxvorstadt, just a few minutes' walk from the Theresienstraße or Josephsplatz underground stations (U2 line). Bus routes 153 and 154 also stop almost at the door.

Rebecca Gischel conducts spirit medium sessions in both German and English – in person in Munich or online via video call worldwide. It is worth noting that the language spoken in life plays no role in a spirit medium session, as communication does not take place on a verbal level. In the spirit world, all languages are therefore possible.

Mediumistic communication does not work like a telephone conversation on a direct verbal level — it requires translation. Information, feelings and memories are transmitted in a form that I, as a medium, can perceive through my psychic senses: clairsentience, clairaudience, clairvoyance, claircognisance and clairgustance. My particular gift lies in clairsentience — the deep perception of a person's emotional world, as they were in life.

I begin by briefly explaining how I work. A spirit medium session works best without prior information. I then open myself to the spirit world and transmit what I perceive — character, feelings, memories and specific details. You give me real-time feedback. Once you have clearly identified the person, the messages follow. Afterwards there is the opportunity to ask questions. I do not provide information on inheritance, money or legal affairs, and I do not make statements about future events.

No. Scepticism is not an obstacle. What matters is only that you try to remain as open as possible to the communications from your loved one during the session. Many people who come with considerable doubt experience the most moving moments. You simply need to be willing to approach the experience with an open mind. In my perception, one's own openness is like permission to the spirit world to show itself.

It is rare — but it can happen. Mediumistic communication is not a controllable process. Should no satisfactory contact occur, I will refund the full amount. This is not a formality for me, but part of my approach: I work only when the connection is genuine.

No. Mediumistic communication does not take place on a direct verbal level — it works through images, feelings, impressions and memories. I can therefore connect with anyone who has passed, regardless of what language they spoke in life.

I recommend waiting at least three months after a loss, ideally six months. In the early weeks and months of grief, we are often not yet open enough to truly receive messages.

No. In my experience, those who have passed always wish to convey love and healing to those they have left behind. Even if the relationship in life was difficult or conflicts remained unresolved: in death, people return to their innermost, pure core. Sometimes genuine remorse becomes visible — and the wish to apologise. I have never experienced a deceased person directing reproach at those who remain. When someone who has passed shows themselves, it is always an act of love.

In my experience as a medium, those who have passed are always glad to make contact with those they have left behind and are delighted to do so. Sometimes they make themselves known — through meaningful coincidences or signs such as white feathers appearing suddenly and repeatedly along the way. A sudden urge to explore the topic of spirit contact, or a heightened sense of a loved one's presence in your thoughts, can also be a sign. But even without signs — they will be glad to hear from you.

A spirit medium session with me typically lasts 90 minutes. I place particular importance on allowing sufficient time for the stories and messages of those who have passed. Depending on how open the deceased person was, it sometimes takes a little longer for them to communicate fully and make their emotional depth felt. I allow 90 minutes for this.

A psychic reading is a form of intuitive perception in which I use my sensitive abilities to gain insight into your current life situation. This form of perception is also known as aura reading. I read what lies beneath the surface — hidden patterns, unlived potential, messages from the soul — and connect with the spirit world as needed to receive further impulses. The goal is not analysis, but visibility: what is waiting to be seen by you? What does your next step require?

No — a specific concern is not a prerequisite. Especially if you cannot name a particular topic, a psychic reading will bring impulses relating to your current life situation. The reasons people seek a psychic reading are very varied: some sense that something is calling from the depths, or holding them back from taking the next step. Others have physical symptoms that cannot be fully resolved medically and wonder whether there might be a message in them. Others again sense that there is more waiting for them in their professional or personal lives. During a psychic reading, what is shown is what is most important for you right now: blind spots, hidden strengths, old patterns or unlived potential.

A psychic reading includes aura reading. In the first step I read your energy field to identify what is currently most important for you. But while classic aura reading is limited to this level of perception, in a psychic reading I also bring in the spirit dimension and contact with those who have passed, where this is needed.

No — a psychic reading has a different purpose from therapy and does not replace it. It can, however, be a valuable complement: as an impulse that opens new perspectives, makes strengths visible, or illuminates patterns and blockages whose roots elude purely rational analysis. For deeper themes, a single session is rarely sufficient to create lasting change — often an inner process follows in which the insights gained are truly integrated into life. Some clients find psychic readings very helpful alongside therapy, as a dimension that complements and deepens the therapeutic process.

Ancestral healing is a form of transgenerational work in which I, as a medium, establish contact with ancestors from your lineage. Unlike conventional genealogical research, your ancestors speak directly in mediumistic ancestral work: they speak of their lives, their experiences, unfulfilled dreams and talents — but also of unresolved pain and conflicts that often pass as transgenerational patterns through the generations. Ancestral healing is for people who wish to understand recurring patterns in their lives, who want to connect more deeply with their origins, or who sense that something in their family history is waiting to heal.

Some clients come with a sense that they carry a transgenerational theme — recognisable through persistent patterns in their own behaviour, through blockages in living out their authentic self, or through physical symptoms without a clear cause. Others simply feel the inner impulse that working with their own ancestors is calling to them. A specific problem or particular question is not a prerequisite — it is enough to be open to what wishes to show itself.

With my clients I frequently experience that the absence of a connection to their ancestors is palpable — as a sense of rootlessness that can unfavourably affect personal wellbeing, self-worth, or even physical health. Transgenerational patterns and traumas that have been unconsciously passed down can become visible through ancestral healing and, in subsequent inner processes, be worked through and resolved. Talents and strengths can also be recognised, whose roots often lie with our ancestors. For in engaging with our ancestors, we can arrive at a deeper understanding of ourselves — of who we are, why we are here, and why we have a place in the world, exactly here, exactly now, and exactly as we are.

In my experience, those who have passed always show great willingness to allow love and healing to flow. In principle, however, nothing can be controlled in working with the spirit world — it is therefore possible that no contact with the ancestors occurs. In that case I would of course refund the full amount.

No. It is not a prerequisite that you know information about your ancestral lineage. Even when little is known about one's own family, ancestors are in my experience able to make themselves recognisable through specific details and to share their story with you.

This depends on the complexity of the transgenerational theme and on how many ancestors are involved in the process. In general, ancestral healing involves 3 to 6 sessions of 90 minutes each. How many contacts are helpful often becomes clear already in the first session.
