For Jane Dance, Spirit was never a mystery—it was a presence. From early childhood, she saw what others couldn’t: full-body apparitions, animal spirits, objects moving on their own, and voices calling her name. But it wasn’t until she flatlined—twice—that her role as a bridge between realms fully came into focus. Diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia in 2000 and again in 2001, Jane survived against astronomical odds, supported by both science and the sacred. A miraculous bone marrow transplant, healing energy work, and a deep connection to the Divine changed her forever. Today, Jane lives on Vancouver Island, where the rhythm of whales breaching and ancient forests whispering reflect the spiritual frequency she embodies. Through her work with Angel Wing Readings, she channels divine guidance from Angels, Spirit Guides, and loved ones in Spirit—carrying messages of hope, healing, and unconditional love. Jane doesn’t just read energy—she lives in the space between realms, devoted to bringing comfort and clarity from the beyond. In this powerful conversation with Mystic Mag, Jane shares her incredible survival story, what it’s like to live with one foot in the Angelic Realm, and how Spirit continues to guide her mission to serve, uplift, and remind us that we are never alone.
You’ve been interacting with Spirit since a very young age. Can you describe your first encounter with the Spirit Realm and how it shaped your understanding of the world?
My first interaction with Spirit was when I was around three years old. My family and I had moved from the UK to California and I remember I was watching television. My memory is so clear, as if this happened yesterday.
I was always a sleepy child (probably a precursor of things to come) and as I was laying backwards, I looked up and saw three “people” above me, one man and two women, but I could only see their faces. They looked like they were from the 1800’s, as the women were wearing bonnets, with their hair pinned back. . They were smiling at me, but then their mouths opened wide, as if their jaws became unhinged, until I couldn’t see their lower jaws. .
Their sudden change in appearance didn’t scare me, though. Oddly enough, I felt that this was normal. I didn’t feel fear, but more protection, if there was a word to describe that moment in time.
At such a young age, I didn’t realise that what I was seeing, my sister (or anyone else) wasn’t seeing things like this. So I didn’t really understand that I was privy to something extraordinary.
As I grew up, interactions with the Spirit World increased. I was seeing full and solid spirits, who looked like you and I, only their faces were missing. Hearing my name being called, touched by Spirits, electronics being manipulated by Spirits, objects moved, objects that went missing and to resurface years later. One spirit even called 911 (emergency) three times, in three different locations, using my home phone and a public pay phone. So weird, but wonderful!
My understanding of the Spirit world is one of fascination, because once we shed our physical body and become pure energy, I find it incredible that pure energy can move objects, can interact with people and can live well in the afterlife.
How can you not find the Spirit World anything but simply amazing and awe inducing?! This is why I love being a medium and interacting with those who have crossed before us and probably why I still have incredible encounters with Spirits, because I welcome them in.
You mention being a “Gateway” between the physical and Angelic realms. How do you perceive this connection on a daily basis, and how do you balance living in both worlds simultaneously?
Years ago I was watching a show and the Medium was talking about a child who had similarities to my own health story, and the Medium described the child as a “gateway”, which is how I adopted that word.
Being a Gateway, I live with one foot in the Physical Realm and one foot in the Spirit Realm simultaneously.
I am a Cancer Survivor who was diagnosed with AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) in March 2000 and was very, very ill. I endured multiple rounds of chemotherapy, as well as multiple medications, and everything that could go wrong, did, but eventually the chemo killed everything and I was well for 15 months.
In June 2001, the cancer came back and was in 70% of my body and was the equivalent to Stage 4 (Leukemia is classified differently).
One night the doctors told my remaining family to come and say goodbye, as I wouldn’t make it through the night. Luckily I did, and ended up receiving a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) from an unrelated donor who was a 100% match. ( Every nurse and doctor I have spoken to since, says a 100% match is rare.) I have a rare blood type (3% of the population) and a rare cancer (normally seen in children – ! was in my 20’s).
After receiving my transplant, I was told that I only had a 26% chance of survival and six years to live, post transplant. I’ve been cancer free ever since, so being a Gateway for me has been easy.
Most of the time, I live in the Spirit world. My thoughts, my interactions with spirit are there, but my body remains here. It’s funny to me that I can have an everyday conversation with a friend, coworker, or even a stranger and how Spirit will interact with me (in my mind) as this conversation takes place. Sometimes they tell me not to listen to what the person is saying, as the person could be lying, or Spirit will bug me, to tell them a message. If I don’t, they increase the intensity of the message, until I tell the person the “random” message.
As with people, I have boundaries with Spirit. When I need them to interact, I give them permission to do so. I know they are always there to guide me and protect me, but they stay in the background until I want or need them to come in.
For me, it’s natural. The two realms can cross over, but usually everyone stays in their lanes.
What type of services do you offer?
The services I offer are Angel Readings, Animal Readings and Coaching.
With the Angel Readings, I connect to the client’s guides and angels, by only using the clients first name. I don’t really know how it works, but with the first name, I receive impressions about the client and then I begin to relay messages that their team in spirit may have. I have found that Angels love answering questions, the more questions you ask, the deeper the answers become. I liken it to a keyhole. I can only see so much, initially, but as more questions are asked, the door opens and I can see the entire picture.
I have been told by a lovely friend of mine, that I have a direct line to Spirit, to Source, to God, to the Universe, whatever you want to call it and that is why I see, hear, feel, know messages so clearly and I trust them to be true. The messages I see, hear, feel, know are crystal clear. There isn’t any distortion, they are just matters of fact. This is your question and this is your answer. Cut and dry.
Sometimes a deceased loved one comes in, and tells me messages the client needs to know or again the client can give me their first name and the messages flow. The interesting thing is that the personality they had in life stays with them, so that their loved ones can recognize them.
I have found, doing this work, that as some tend to do in our physical bodies, spirits learn to grow in the afterlife. They learn to shed traumas that they may be carrying with them, and learn to heal them and evolve in the afterlife. Amazing!
Animal Readings are similar to Angel Readings. They are from living or deceased pets who provide messages to me, as if they were in human form. At times, I’ve provided lost animal readings, but they are not my cup of tea. Some animals don’t want to be found and some are so soft and quiet that the messages are hard to see and interpret.
I also offer Coaching. This one was a tough one for me to offer as I didn’t really think anyone would be interested, but Spirit kept telling me otherwise (they are always right haha).
Years ago I used to work in a Neurofeedback center and became fascinated with the human brain. I’ve done a lot of research and reading and realized that everything comes back to the subconscious mind. Bless the subconscious mind, it is there when we are in fight or flight, but when we want to change our patterns, that mind is stubborn. It doesn’t like change and it will fight you to the tooth and nail to win.
Really anything that people want to change about themselves, or those who want to increase their intuition and can’t, it all stems from the subconscious mind. It’s not so much about what they want to change, it’s more about retraining or rewiring the subconscious mind. That crazy, little whackadoodle thing!
How has your work as a Psychic Medium been influenced by your personal health struggles, and what insights have you gained about the power of healing energy and its connection to the Spirit World?
I might get into trouble saying this, but Doctors don’t know everything. Their diagnosis of me was wrong five times. I was misdiagnosed four times before being diagnosed with AML and their last diagnosis of me was wrong as they said I’d only live 6 years post transplant in 2001.
During my first round of Cancer, I went to a Naturopath as I have always leaned towards natural health; treating/healing the body as a whole, rather than as a symptom. The symptom is telling you something is wrong in the body.
For me to go to a Naturopath, was natural. As my body became degraded by the chemo, I couldn’t stomach anything, so we moved from a Naturopath to a Reiki Master, who would come to my hospital bedside three times a week, I believe. (Sadly a lot of my memory is missing, as the drugs that were pumped into my body were intense).
My mum told me that the Reiki Master would come into my room, bring beautiful music that would make your soul weep. She’d let me choose an oracle card and perform her magic. I was, and always will be, a willing participant in energy work, as long as it is for my highest and greatest good.
I feel that Glynis (Reiki Master) saved my life, or at least saved my soul. Her, along with the chemo, the multiple and multiple drugs, and of course, Gabi, my bone marrow donor, saved my life, but I feel that Glynis saved my soul. I feel that she cleaned my soul and kept it safe during her visits and in the in between.
Every time she came for a session and even after I left the hospital, she would give me treatments, I felt energized.
I think many people depend too much on the medical field, instead of listening to what their body, or what their soul needs. To this day, I am not on any medication, not even anti-rejection drugs. I rarely take an aspirin or if I become ill, I will always opt in for the natural method: live blood analysis, naturopathic, chiropractic, supplements, reiki treatments, walks in the forest to recharge, fresh sea air, etc.
I find that when my body is “cleaner” (not full of drugs of any kind) then my mind is clearer and I can receive messages easily. I don’t have to go into mediation, like some Mediums do. I can be in a noisy place and still receive messages, because my mind is clear. I have never had a busy mind. I’m not an overthinker, unless something is bothering me.
I liken my mind to a beautiful summer sky, where one of two clouds (thoughts) floats by, or as I once told a friend of mine, my mind has one or two tumbleweeds floating by. I don’t have a noisy mind. I’ve heard people say to watch your inner voice in your mind, and when I do, I don’t hear anything. My mind is quiet.
You’ve lived through intense physical challenges. How has this shaped your spiritual practice or approach to delivering messages from Spirit to those seeking guidance?
I find that I don’t really worry about much because I see the world differently than most people. I have lived and I have died…and now I live to talk about it.
I have more of a calm approach to life now and let whatever is going to happen to happen. I live in the flow.
I was talking to a coworker recently. He is a young 19 year old, full of anxiety.. I told him that anxiety is living in the future, and worrying about what might happen and stress is pushing against something that’s going to happen anyways. I told him to stop resisting and stop pushing, and go with the flow. He said that he hopes to be like me one day, and just live in the flow and not worry about things.
I have never asked “why?” I had cancer or “why me?” Honestly, and this might sound harsh, I simply don’t care. I remember a nurse telling me that when people are diagnosed, they respond in two different ways. The first way is that the patient says: “Oh my god, I’ve got the Big C, I’m going to die” and the nurse said that they do, they die. But the second type says: “Okay, so I have Cancer…what are we going to do about this?” And they survive.
Without going through what I went through, I wouldn’t be who I am today. The cancer, the treatments, and everything in between, help mold me into who I am today, plus it has opened my abilities to communicate with Angels!
I feel that having gone through so many physical challenges, you can either choose to let them affect you in a negative way and “hate this and hate that” or you can surrender and grow from them and “love this and love that”. I allow Spirit to flow through me and to me, as that is a more beautiful way to live than to be a victim of your circumstances.
I feel that by addressing that I had Cancer, and found a way to work through it, that is how I deal with all my challenges in life. I see them, I walk towards them and do my best to work through them. I don’t pretend they aren’t there, I figure out (usually with Spirits help) how best to deal with it, so it doesn’t kill me.
I am an open vessel for Spirit to speak through, whether that is through reading or being guided to buy a homeless person a hot meal on a cold wintery day. It has taken me a long time to love being me, and to trust that what I am seeing, feeling and knowing is the truth,but now I do.
I simply love being able to communicate with the unknown, as we work in a beautiful union, I am always amazed by the incredible opportunities that flow my way, especially as the only advertising I do for my business is through my website. I trust the spirit world to guide those who are meant to find me, and I sit back and wait for them to show up…and they always do.
Given your deep connection with the Spirit World, how do you protect your energy and maintain your own spiritual well-being when you’re channeling messages or working with others?
There are two things that I love: Angel Wings and Airplane Wings. My other job that I do, I work in aviation, which can be a high emotion place…and yes, there are Spirits too.
Sometimes as I am heading to my aviation job, I will say a little prayer of protection, which is: “I encircle myself in the white light of Universal love, and Divine protection.” but for the most part, I don’t say anything because I just know that I am divinely protected and loved.
I don’t worry about attracting the wrong kind of spirit, an entity or a negative spirit, because I have learned and grown from those lower vibrational interactions.
When I first started becoming me, and trying to figure out my gifts and abilities, I attracted all sorts of spirits, (and people) ones from the light and ones from the dark. I attracted shadow people, poltergeists, and had all sorts of activity in my homes throughout the years.
But now, because I have boundaries with spirits, as I do with people, and I’ve worked on my shadow side, healed areas in my past that cried and begged to be healed, now I don’t attract those lower vibrational beings.
If my energy is feeling off, I will ask that “anything that is not mine (feelings, emotions, thoughts, etc.) be removed from me and returned to sender with love and light”, and as soon as I do that, I can literally feel the negative energy lift out of me. I did this, just the other day driving to the airport, as soon as I asked, the energy left my body.
Other times I will ask ArchAngel Michael to cut all cords.
I will say:
“Archangel Michael, please cut all cords between me and everyone and everything I’ve interacted with. On all planes, levels, dimensions, realms, space, time, from this lifetime, from all past lifetimes, parallel timelines and universal timelines. Once those cords are cut, please burn my cords back into me with light, love, health, wealth, happiness and joy and please burn their cords back into them with light, love, health, wealth happiness and joy.”
Then I trust that it has been done.
When I first started channeling, I used to become tired…exhausted actually. It would take me days to recover, but I suspect some of that was also from regaining strength from the cancer treatments.
When I used my own energy during the sessions, I would tire, but now I use energy from Spirit and have endless energy, as their energy is pure and eternal. I can start a reading being tired (from the everyday grind) and as the messages come through, I become lifted and energized. It’s quite remarkable. The client also gets a boost of energy. I have seen countless clients transform from low energy or nervousness to happy and alive, during a session.
Even if I am sick with a cold, I have found that Spirit will lift the cold out for the duration of the reading, same with a headache. Once I begin to channel the messages, the headache disappears and remains gone, long after the session is over.
It’s quite remarkable.
