ursula darby

I am a psychic medium, animal communicator, mental health advocate and now, a certified grief educator, who has dedicated my life to bridging the gap between the physical and spiritual realms. With the ability to connect with people on the other side, I’ve had the privilege of transforming countless lives through my insights and compassionate approach.
My journey with spirit began at the age of 5. Nights were filled with vivid encounters—unrecognizable voices, shadows moving across my room, and presences that left me feeling terrified. Fear and uncertainty became a part of my early experiences as I struggled to make sense of what was happening to me.
Determined to understand my abilities, I tried to read everything I could about psychic phenomena, but most of the resources I found were filled with confusing, new-age language that only frustrated me further. When I sought help from people who called themselves psychics, I was met with rejection. They dismissed my experiences with spirit, telling me I couldn’t possibly know what I did or that I lacked talent. Their criticism and judgment were hurtful and left me feeling unsupported and misunderstood.
What I discovered was that many spiritual communities, rather than being places of understanding and encouragement, were filled with judgment and exclusion. These experiences pushed me to find my own way. I was determined to make sense of my frightening and confusing encounters with spirit and refused to give up.

  • As a former standup comedian, I bring a refreshing and unique perspective to my work. My comedic timing serves as a powerful tool to provide comfort and alleviate emotional distress for my clients. With boldness and a down-to-earth demeanor, I strive to dismantle the esoteric language often associated with psychics, working to demystify and normalize the paranormal and supernatural.

    Empathy and compassion are at the heart of everything I do. I understand the importance of mental health in conjunction with my spiritual practice, and I hold space for my clients by actively listening to their pain and offering valuable resources to support their healing journey. My mission is to destigmatize conversations about dying, death, and grief, creating safe and open spaces where these essential topics can be approached with honesty and understanding.

    I’ve been featured on major networks and platforms, including CTV, Crave, TVO, Bell Media, Indie88 FM, and the popular Cat & Nat podcast. My work has captivated audiences through detailed readings, insightful interviews, and honest discussions about grief and healing. For more, visit my In the Media page.

    My commitment to sharing my expertise and experiences has led to appearances on prominent media platforms. I’ve connected with audiences through captivating readings and profound insights, engaging listeners with detailed readings on Indie88 FM radio, and demonstrating my intuitive accuracy to a broad and diverse audience on the Cat & Nat podcast. My down-to-earth attitude resonates with listeners, sparking curiosity and inspiring them to explore the vast possibilities within their own intuitive senses.

    I currently reside in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, where I continue to serve clients, share my message, and work toward my mission of helping people find clarity, healing, and hope.

What Clients & Audiences Are Saying

  • "She gave birthdates and the name of a resort that I had worked at. The name she said wasn't what it was called at the time. It was the name that my late father always referred to it by."

    Colleen Ord McConville

  • "I was flabbergasted at the accuracy with which Ursula identified and stated my inner thoughts, concerns, wonderings, the details of my life. All of this with no information other than, "yes" or "no" from me. She is absolutely gifted, empathetic, mind-boggingly accurate, spiritual and I really appreciated her humour. Her connection to Spirit is both accurate in detail and comforting. Ursula is gifted and a gift to this world. She is the real deal."

    Sam

  • "Your words, from start to finish, were extraordinarily accurate."

    Rosemary R

  • "My reading provided comfort to me and that was huge. Thank you for all that you do. Your work significantly impacts people's lives."

    Shelley Nicholson

  • "You are amazing at what you do. I have had a few readings with you and you never cease to amaze me."

    Shannon Krizel

  • "This lovely lady, is as beautiful inside as she is outside. She is one of my most admired psychic mediums for her accuracy!"

    Cheryl Uprichard

  • "Ursula acknowledged very specific names and knew exact details of situations in my personal life. My husband who is a skeptic could not come up with a reasonable explanation as to how Ursula could know such things."

    Amy

  • "I am a very logical person who works in research and a lot of my work is about coming to conclusions based on empirical research. My jaw dropped a few times when she mentioned specific things that only I knew. It was chilling. She doesn't allow you to volunteer details - very different from the run of them mill medium. Amazing!!!"

    K. Kramer (I am a real person.)

  • "I really love how you explain things. You're very grounded in reality while speaking of intangible things. You do such great job at normalizing psychic phenomena."

    Christina Bebee

  • "Thank you for your work. Attending Messages from Spirit in Guelph was absolutely inspiring and powerful. All communities need more of this support. You are able to do such hard work while balancing the room's needs."

    Rebecca YC

  • "I attended The Spirit World, Grief and Love and it was a truly comforting and enlightening experience. Losing my poppy has been incredibly difficult, this helped me connect with my feelings and find new ways to cope with my grief. The insights and guidance provided felt deeply personal and genuine, giving me a sense of peace and hope. I'm so grateful for this experience and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking support during a difficult time."

    Christine Ryder

  • "I attended The Spirit World Grief and Love and Ursula was able to normalize grief in a meaningful way."

    Davrielle Salsberg

  • "I was somewhat skeptical about the ability of those who have passed to connect with those of us who remain. Incredibly, what my family (my mother-in-law, my sister and I) experienced, was nothing short of amazing. Details that Ursula could not have possibly known were shared."

    Tim Emoff

  • "I was absolutely amazed with your energy, humour and humility. The first spirit you connected with had a message for me and it was so accurate and clear it allowed me to take the beginning steps in my journey of healing. I was able to move on from the anger and resentment that was holding me back from enjoying life. From the moment I first met you it felt more like being in the presence of a friend."

    Tracy Feggi

  • "We decided to book a private group reading with Ursula after hearing her on the Josie Dye show. My mother, aunts, and grandmother were all able to connect to my grandfather. It was clear that this experience was incredibly therapeutic for them all. I would highly recommend Ursula, as her level of accuracy and sense of humour creates an undeniable, safe space feeling, and positive, moving experience for everyone involved."

    Avery Page

  • "You are ethical, something most mediums are not. That is why I respect you."

    Mary Townsend

  • "You are an inspiration, your advocacy for mental health and your connection with present and past lives offer hope, presence and love."

    Lesley Seads

  • "I continue to be fascinated by your skill. I love how you encourage us to try and develop our own awareness of our senses. You make it look so easy!"

    Kimberley Matthews

  • "Hands down the most raw, intense, incredibly moving experiences I have ever been a part of. They say childbirth is something you will never forget...well our group reading with Ursula is a very close second! I found that Ursula had a beautiful presence about her, the BEST sense of humour, and was so very patient."

    Andrea DaFonseca

  • "I feel like there has been a heavy burden lifted off of me. I wondered for a long time if my loved ones were with me, Ursula confirmed that they are. To know that my Army of Loved ones are with me has brought some sort of weird calmness to me that I have been looking for in myself for a long time."

    Cindy Lou Follis

  • "So many of us have gone to tarot readers and psychics. We all found out how generic the information we received was. It was evident right from the beginning of our group reading that you were the real thing. You have a unique ability of combining messages and using humour to further engage and relax people."

    Tina Davies

  • "I was skeptical having a zoom psychic medium reading but I was not disappointed. Ursula blew my mind!!! She read me, my family, my friends and even my dog. She was bang on with everything even down to my tachycardia and the date and year of my grandson's birthday. Ursula made me feel at ease and was very compassionate."

    Karen White

  • "Always a great experience! Truly amazing , detailed , heartfelt, genuine, and simply awwwwe inspired."

    Olivia Caines

  • "Ursula brought up emotions that needed to come through. She is amazing at what she does. We laughed and cried and can’t wait to see her again."

    Rachel Arseneau

  • "I think it’s amazing what you do and provide all of us. You helped me so much in my one on one session during Covid. You seriously got me out of a very dark place. I will be forever grateful."
