AUDUBON — Deb Gaul Rusch said she always knew she was “weird,” because as young as age 3 she could see spirits and had an imaginary friend — who wasn’t really imaginary.

Over the years, she learned to live with that, to deal with it all the time, and wanted to help other people who missed loved ones who had passed on.

On Tuesday, Oct. 10 she will be presenting “Hello from Heaven,” a program about “sharing with people so that they can learn how to have it within them, to ask for and get God-given miraculous signs from your loved ones.”

Hello from Heaven is hosted by the Audubon Public Library and will be held at the Audubon Recreation Center at 703 Southside Ave, in Audubon at 6:30 p.m.

Deb is a spiritual psychic medium, and the program, “Hello from Heaven,” is for people who are not getting signs from their loved ones, and want to — or want to know why they aren’t getting signs.

Sometimes, she said, it was a case of not knowing how to ask for signs, or it could be that the person’s loss, grief or anger could be getting in the way.

“Ironically, the times when we need the message the most,” she said we might be blocking those signs from getting through.

She also has a studio at her home where she works individually with people.

Deb is a Reiki Master, using energy in someone’s body to help healing.

She does past life regressions, which she says can be fun as they can help explain things from a person’s current life that have carried over from their past one.

Many times she says that without even knowing a person, she can tell what their likes and dislikes are.

Also some things that a person has “carried over” can cause issues today. For example, a person could use past life regression to deal with phobias, by finding out the root behind them, “and letting it go,” Deb added.

At this time of year she says she likes to post “witchy” things on her page.

“My 10 times great-grandmother was tried as a witch, twice,” she said, and lived.

She thought by reading histories that the woman perhaps had premonitions that might have set her apart.

When it comes to explaining why things happen, she said she has gotten her answers directly from asking spirits questions.

The spirits are often eager to communicate with her, “I think from the other side I must look like an open door,” she said.

While she won’t be doing psychic readings during the Oct. 10 program, she will be taking questions from people that might help them understand.

“Come with an open mind,” she said, adding if someone has lost someone, this will give them comfort.

She’s visited the library before to do a program — and library officials recommend that those who want to attend should call to put themselves on a list. Several calling in have said they heard Deb speak before and really enjoyed it.

She offers spirit guide sessions, connecting people with loved ones, past life regressions, Angel Card readings, palm readings, and more.

She also makes custom designed crystal jewelry, Healing crystal packs, smudge sage kits for cleansing homes and businesses of negative energies, Rock & Crystal Cairns and Crystal grids for manifestation.

“I also have a whole line of Hello From Heaven products that I will be bringing with me,” she said.

She has a studio is connected to her home near Nelson Park between Dunlap and Dow City.
