Lana Duncan-Hartgraves, Master Psychic Medium/Lifecoach

Who is Lana Duncan-Hartgraves? Introduce yourself, your hobbies, your favorites, you at home and in business. Tell us something interesting about yourself.

I am a Wisconsin-born visionary whose life beautifully blends art, spirit, and nature. As a lifelong teacher and creator, I spent 31 years inspiring others through art before fully embracing my soul’s calling as a healer and intuitive guide. On my serene hobby farm, surrounded by animals and the rhythms of the earth, I practice Reiki and Sound Healing, Hypnosis, Herbalism, and Akashic Record work. I weave my gifts as a psychic medium, Qi Gong–infused yoga instructor, and animal communicator into a life devoted to connection and healing. I am a published author of Memoirs of an Accidental Psychic. I continue my spiritual and academic journey by pursuing an Associate’s in Herbalism and a Ph.D. in Metaphysical Counseling, proving that true wisdom is ever-growing, ever-evolving, and always guided by the heart.

What makes your approach to intuition, life coaching, and healing distinct from others in your field?

I have conducted approximately 100,000 readings and hold a Master's degree in Special Education with a concentration in Psychology. For two years, I worked as a diagnostician, where I identified conditions such as ADHD, learning disabilities, and autism. Additionally, I have a minor in Theater, which has made me comfortable speaking in front of audiences. I also have some experience with stand-up comedy. I am passionate about education and consider myself a lifelong learner.

Can you describe a transformation you’ve helped a client achieve that still inspires you today?

I believe some of my best stories come from past life regression and progression. In one session, my client went forward instead of backward in time. She was able to see the ascension we are currently experiencing, getting a glimpse of the other side. She was speechless at the beauty she witnessed. It felt as though she was actually seeing the other side, and she said that everything made sense to her now. She couldn't get over the experience and felt "connected" to every living thing, realizing that we are all one. As a result, she now leads her life differently, savoring the little things and finding joy in everything around her.

How do you combine your skills in clairvoyance, Reiki, hypnosis, and holistic coaching in a single session?

When I conduct a reading, I begin by asking, “How can I help you?” and allow the individual to guide the session to ensure a personalized and meaningful experience. I typically start with mediumship, focusing on connecting with and identifying their spirit guide, and as an evidential medium, I provide verifiable details such as names, places, and descriptions of those who come through. This approach fosters a calm and healing atmosphere where clients feel supported and at ease. My specialties include business and finance, with additional insight into love and health matters, though I always remind clients that I am not a medical professional. I believe in offering guidance rather than direction, maintaining strong ethical standards while empowering individuals to make their own choices. Many clients describe my sessions as warm, uplifting, and comparable to a conversation with a trusted friend.

What should a first-time client expect when they reach out to you?

When someone reaches out to me for the first time, we begin with a mediumship reading, a sacred opening between worlds. I invite forward those who wish to speak, and most often, beloved spirits or ancestral guides step into the light. At times, animal totems or spirit guides also reveal themselves, bringing their wisdom and protection. As an evidential medium, I share names, places, and moments in time, the details that confirm their presence and message. Each session is a gentle unveiling of truth, connection, and divine guidance.
