Shannon Maxey Biography

Shannon E. Maxey
Psychic Medium

Shannon Maxey was born in San Antonio, Texas. From a young age her family told her about the many instances of After Death Communication they had experienced over the years, often when there was a family crisis. Shannon took this information as “no big deal; something that happens with every family, more or less.” At age 8, she had a spontaneous vision of her essential self as a being of light or energy, and realized that who she really was had much more insight and wisdom than an eight year old child. By the time she became a teenager, her intuitive experiences had increased, but she had also learned that not everyone expected these or appreciated them. She asked the universe to make them stop at that time because she was becoming uncomfortable with them, and they did.

By age twenty, however, her interest in the memory of her early experiences returned and she sought out people in the area who could help her understand the nature and extent of her psychic abilities. She sat in several “reading” circles for a while, and learned to trust the information she was able to receive. She also met Pete Sanders of Free Soul, a non-profit psychic education group. Pete is the interesting product of a psychic devotee mother and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology education in BioMedical Chemistry and Brain Science. He helped her to understand her talents in a way that lead to more control and precision in her readings.

But Shannon was already very involved and successful in corporate America by then, and did not consider giving up her career to attend to her mediumship full time. She did discernments, sometimes spontaneously, for friends and acquaintances when there was a pressing need.

Then, in 1996, she became ill and unable to keep working. After over two years of very restricted activity, her illness began to be more manageable, allowing her to have some energy and reduced pain. At that point, in 1999, she and her husband, Graham, decided to launch Inquire Within.

Since committing to her practice full time, Shannon has become quite well-known within the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex for her accuracy, compassion, and warmth. She was featured on a KXAS NBC5 news segment on psychic practitioners after they noticed she read for long lines of people at a local Fitness Expo sponsored by that station. She was also a guest on Dallas radio’s Kidd Kraddick In The Morning program, and a local metaphysical radio program, The Quest, twice this year. She has spoken and done discernments at the Dallas/Fort Worth Holistic Expo in 1999 and 2000, which also hosted names such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, and George Anderson. She makes twice yearly speaking appearances at the Holistic Networker’s Wellness Expo, and she and Graham have produced many one-evening seminars, Connecting With Spirit, around the area.

Shannon limits her practice to working with people who are, in some way, needing to contact someone who has crossed over. She refers those clients who are looking for predictions about their future, or just curious about the process, to other practitioners. She feels that in working only with loss and grief clients she can use her abilities in an area where they will be the most helpful.

She and Graham live in Arlington, Texas with their four cats. She enjoys gardening, riding roller-coasters, and loves ice-skating.

She was also a guest on Dallas radio’s Kidd Craddock In The Morning program.
