Mary didnÆt think she was ôdifferentö growing up. She thought everyone could communicate telepathically. Her mother used telepathy to call to her children when it was time to come home, a gift that Mary thought was the norm for everyone.

Brooklyn born, of Italian-American heritage, Mary isnÆt the first in her family to recognize that she has a gift to help others, but sheÆs the first to practice it professionally. Listening to her many guides, Mary is able to give others counsel and clarity in what life is bringing to them, and connect them to loved ones they have lost. She credits ôJordanö the only guide whose voice sheÆs actually heard, with helping her to find the medication she now takes to keep her MS under control. Mega, her first guide, helped her to realize that guides prefer to work ôincognitoö.

Mary Rose Occhino knows that everything is connected and everything happens thatÆs supposed to happen. She also knows that one has to be on the look out, and open, for all signals that ones guides or ones intuition is sending. Her senses never tune out. And, still, Mary doesnÆt think sheÆs different. But, she is. It didnÆt take me long to figure out that Mary ôknowsö things. Not every psychic medium has gifts that encompass all the senses, but Mary does.

After many years of learning how to control and live with MS, Mary Rose Occhino now does telephone readings from her home on Long Island, and group readings from her Manhattan office. MaryÆs accuracy keeps her ôword of mouthö business coming with a usual wait list of a couple months.

MaryÆs second book will be out soon. If itÆs as good as the first, her phone will be ringing even more.
