2 Readings in one week

Anyone can say a reading was good. What matters is what was known before the reading started - and what could not possibly have been known. This is one week in March, two clients, and the details they went public about afterwards.

The situation

Shirley Balsamo booked a live reading with Jon. She was carrying something she had deliberately kept to herself: money trouble. In her own words, she had not told anyone. She was hiding it from everyone.

That matters, because it removes the ordinary explanations. There was no conversation to overhear. No mutual friend to mention it. No social media post to read. The information simply was not available to anyone outside her own head.

“The first thing he said was, you’re having problems financially - but your dad said not to worry, it’ll get better.”

What came through

Jon connected with Shirley's father. The message arrived first, before any warm-up and before anything had been shared. Then came a name: Kay - unusual enough that a lucky guess is a stretch, and confirmed by Shirley as a relative.

In Shirley’s own words

Jon came live about a week ago. He connected with my Dad. The first thing he said was your having problems financially but your dad said not to worry it'll get better. For the first time since I was a child was I suffering financially. I didn't tell anyone and I was hiding it from everyone. That hit big.

Then he said Kay, an unusual name and yes it's my relative. I've had readings with Jon before and he has always told me things no one knows and that are happening or do happen. I can't recommend him enough. He's very gifted and spot on!

Why this one counts as evidence

Evidential mediumship is judged on specifics, not comfort. Here is what a neutral reader can actually check in this account:

  • It was unshared information
    Shirley states plainly that she told no one and was actively hiding it. Undisclosed information cannot be researched, overheard, or inferred from a profile.
  • It came first, unprompted
    The financial message was the opening line of the reading - not an answer shaped by something Shirley had already said or reacted to.
  • A named relative, not a common name
    “Kay” is described by Shirley herself as unusual, and confirmed as family. Named hits are the hardest kind to reach by chance.
  • It repeated across sessions
    Shirley had read with Jon before. A single accurate reading can be luck. A pattern across separate readings is a different claim entirely.
  • It was said in public, under her own name
    This is a public review on a public profile, not an anonymous quote supplied by us. It sits alongside 217 others.

The same week, a second reading

Shirley's review was not the only one posted that day. Nicole West read with Jon the same week and described the same signature: private detail, offered without prompting.

Jon is an amazing gifted man I highly recommend. I got my reading today and it was so accurate - he knew things about me no one would have known and detailed memories of mine.

Also how heartwarming it was to connect with my loved ones. I felt very inspired and at peace after my reading, with a lot of situations I was worried about. I can't wait to have another one. Thanks Jon.

Two people. Two separate sittings. The same reported pattern - things no one could have known, delivered as specifics rather than generalities.

This is not new

The March 2025 readings are recent, but the same pattern shows up years earlier in Jon's review history. These two were posted in May 2019 - six years before Shirley's - and they describe the same thing: specific family detail, and accuracy people did not expect.

Unedited Joanna and Vanessa, May 28, 2019. “He was on the money about my family” and “spot on about everything” - six years before the readings above.

A run of accurate readings over six years, from people with no connection to each other, is a harder thing to explain away than any single sitting.

What Jon says about it

I don't go looking for the hard details. I just say what comes, in the order it comes, even when it sounds strange to say out loud.

The money message was first because that is how it arrived. I did not know what it meant to her. That part is never mine to know - it is hers to recognise.

I would never claim to be right every time. I describe what comes through exactly as I receive it, and I let the person in front of me decide whether it lands.
