BEST PSYCHIC
KIM RUSSO
kimthehappymedium.com
Widely known as “Kim the Happy Medium,” Kim
Russo has been able to see and communicate
with the spiritual world since the young age
of 9. While the presence of spirits used to
frighten her, she is now comforted by their
visits, some days talking to the spirits more than
she does the living. A self-proclaimed “psychic
journalist,” Russo prides herself on her accuracy
in understanding the spiritual language and
makes it a point to “interview” the spirits coming
through to her during a reading. Bringing
peace and closure to many people is one of the
highlights of Kim’s life’s work, and she’s no
stranger to the top of this competitive category,
having also clinched the top spot in 2015. For all
these reasons, and so many more, it’s no wonder
why Long Islanders voted Kim Russo the Best
Psychic on Long Island!
