Official Bio
Carmel Baird is a faith-led empowerment speaker, spiritual advisor, and teacher known for her grounded, real-life approach to clarity, discernment, and personal transformation.
Her journey began in her late 30's when she came to understand that the anxiety and overwhelm she had experienced for much of her life were not simply emotional or circumstantial….but rooted in a deep sensitivity and awareness she had yet to understand. What once felt confusing became the beginning of a profound shift in how she experienced the world.
For over a decade, Carmel worked as a spiritual medium, connecting with clients around the world and helping people navigate grief, find comfort, and experience moments of clarity and connection during some of the most difficult times in their lives. Her work reached an international audience, including two seasons of the reality television series Mom’s a Medium, and the publication of her best-selling book with Hay House.
Over time, her work evolved.
What began as one-on-one connection transformed into something broader and more purposeful…focused not only on moments of connection, but on helping people understand what they are feeling, trust themselves, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Today, Carmel’s work is rooted in faith, discernment, and real-life application. She speaks openly and honestly about growth, transition, and what it means to navigate life with intention. Through her Private Room, live teachings, and women’s empowerment groups, she creates space for ongoing connection, learning, and transformation.
She is especially passionate about helping women who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain reconnect with themselves, strengthen their faith, and step into the next version of their life with clarity and confidence.
Carmel lives just outside of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with her husband Dave, and her entire family…where they raise Gypsy Cob horses and English Labradors alongside their family. With six children and eight grandchildren, her life is deeply rooted in family, nature, and connection.
Let's get personal
Life didn’t start out with me understanding the world in the way I do now.
I grew up in a home shaped by abuse, addiction, and a lot of hard life lessons. As I moved into adulthood, I found myself navigating anxiety, panic, and a constant feeling that something wasn’t quite right. At the time, I believed it was simply the result of everything I had been through.
I searched for answers everywhere….through doctors, counselling, and medication—but nothing ever fully explained what I was experiencing.
Eventually, I reached a point where I couldn’t ignore it anymore.
I had to look inward.
That’s when everything began to shift.
Over time—not all at once—I came to understand that I wasn’t broken. I was experiencing the world in a way I didn’t yet understand. I was intuitive, deeply aware, and connected in ways that I had never been taught how to navigate.
In my late 30s, I stepped into what became my work as a spiritual medium. For many years, I sat with people, offering connection, comfort, and understanding in ways that helped them feel less alone.
But growth changes things.
And as I continued to evolve, so did my understanding of what I was being called to do.
Today, I no longer define myself by one title or one way of working.
I’ve come to understand that my role is not to give people answers… but to help them find clarity, trust what they feel, and recognize what is already being placed on their heart.
My work is now rooted in faith with God, truth, and real-life understanding—helping people navigate life as it is, not as we wish it would be.
I believe we are all far more aware, intuitive, and capable than we’ve been taught to believe.
And sometimes, all it takes is someone to help you see that clearly.
If that’s what you’re looking for…
I’m here.
Carmel, Xo ❤️
The Book
A true life story from Lies of Shame to Truth Of Spirits
I have managed to unlock four truths that I now live by. They are the keys to life, keys that open us up to the reality of why we are here: love, peace, forgiveness, and balance.
With them, we have the power to achieve our greatest dreams and to master what I call "the game of life."
As we embark on my own complicated journey, reliving the good and the bad that led to my life as a mother, a medium, a teacher, an author, and a reality TV personality, you'll see how I lost my authentic self and how hard I struggled with all four of these truths. It's not pretty.
I spent 30 years thinking I was completely crazy, and to make up for that craziness I would do anything and everything to try to fit in. This included telling lies to myself and others, and living in a very small world, one where my authentic self was locked tightly in a closet, hidden away from everyone.
But there is no need for us to be ashamed of who we are. We are on this Earth to discover our authentic self and display it proudly to the world, letting our light shine.
Know that this is your birthright, and it is still within you.
