Widely celebrated and world-renowned medium, Charmaine Wilson, will return to the region in May as part of her 2026 Australian Medium Tour.
Charmaine has been consistently recognised for her skill and compassion since she began sharing her gift with others in 2002 after the loss of her father in 1999.
“I would say that the work chose me,” said Charmaine.
Hailing from Stanthorpe in Queensland’s Southern Downs Region, Charmaine took three years to understand how to work with the voices she kept hearing, and she credits pioneering mediums for helping her recognise her gift and embrace her hidden talents.
Charmaine has endured profound personal losses, including the tragic deaths of her brother, and her four-year-old daughter, the passing of her mother in 2006, the suicide of a close friend, and more recently, the loss of her stepfather.
“I had a youth filled with grief and it took a few more years after my dad died to understand my sudden insight,” Charmaine recalled.
“I started to hear spirits, and they trained me in receiving messages, and taught me how to navigate grief more positively – that’s what I teach now.”
Charmaine’s experiences with loss and grief have shaped her into a deeply compassionate and empathetic reader, giving her a unique ability to connect with clients, and understand the emptions they are navigating.
“If someone’s grieving a recent death, I would say to simply breathe, but I would also hope they would understand that grief is a process we must go through after the death of a loved one,” comforted Charmaine.
“Happiness is possible, but you must try and get out of the habit of always going back to the death when any little thing goes wrong. I have found since being a medium that many people cling too hard to the death, and therefore, their grief can turn into depression – that’s not what your loved ones would want.”
When asked how Charmaine locates audience members to communicate spiritual messages, she said there’s an undeniable feeling that gently anchors her focus.
“To me, there’s a magnetic pull to the person who the spirit’s looking for,” Charmaine explained.
“I can’t go anywhere else when they (the spirit) have me locked in.”
Since beginning her work just over two decades ago, Charmaine has been committed to providing accurate and meaningful insights from the spirit world to her clients, earning her recognition from the Australian Psychics Association.
Over the course of her professional career, Charmaine has won several titles including the 2005 Australian Psychic of the Year Award, the 2009 Queensland Psychic of the Year Award, and in 2008, she was crowned the winner of The One, a nationwide search for the country’s most gifted psychic.
Charmaine Wilson will grace the Burdekin Theatre stage as part of her 2026 Australian Medium Tour on Sunday, the 24th of May. Tickets can be purchased online now via www.burdekintheatre.com.au or in person at the Burdekin Theatre’s Ticket Office.
