From Boxing Ring to Spirit Work: Nathan Horne’s Mediumship Journey

Ipswich boxing coach, youth mentor and evidential medium Nathan Horne is stepping onto a different kind of platform: his first “Evening With Nathan Horn” at Murrayside Community Centre on Saturday 1 November. This is the story of how heartbreak, honesty and a lot of hard work led him from a mattress on the floor to messages of hope.

“A wound that will never heal” — the turning point

Two years ago, Nathan’s life imploded. A separation from his partner meant leaving the family home – and their two children, Zyva and Maverick – behind.

“It was single-handedly the most excruciating pain I’ve ever felt… a wound that will never heal.”

He moved into a colleague’s spare room with little more than a mattress, clothes, a guitar and his car. The shock spiralled into unhealthy coping – “eight beers after work, every night” – until a friend suggested something unexpected: go and see a medium.

The nudge he couldn’t ignore

The name Stephanie Carr kept popping into Nathan’s head – at breakfast, on his lunch break, on the drive home.

When she didn’t reply to his message, fate intervened. He spotted a post about one of her fledglings demonstrating at Holy Church. “Every fibre of my being” told him to go.

Inside the hall, an odd pull made him switch seats to the third row, second chair from the left. Moments later, Carr sat almost directly in front of him. After the service, she messaged: “I’ve got someone with me who needs to talk to you as much as you need to listen.”

That first sitting changed everything. Through Carr, Nathan felt the presence of his great-grandfather, Kiah, with practical, loving counsel about grief, alcohol and purpose:

“If you stay on track, by the time you’re 45 you’ll have everything you’ve ever wanted – and more.”

He left in tears. “I rang my dad crying – ‘Kiah came through.’”

Foundations in the breath

Nathan isn’t new to reflection. Years earlier he’d spent five years exploring Buddhism, learning to meditate and practising mindfulness:

“Mindfulness of breathing is a beautiful doorway. Once you drop into that pocket of stillness, you can connect to the light.”

Those skills became the backbone of his development.

Evidence… in a van

As he kept returning to Horley Spritualist Church, experiences multiplied: orbs, goosebumps down his left arm each morning, a growing sensitivity to “male” and “female” energies.

Then, the first spontaneous message: driving to work, Nathan “saw” his colleague’s late mum and felt compelled to speak.

“She kept saying: Tell him I love him.”
“It’s her anniversary this week,” the colleague replied.

That moment of evidence + validation was a turning point. He joined John Haynes’ closed circle, learning fast and delivering his first messages in development sessions – including specific health information validated days later by a hospital call.

Style and strengths

Nathan is open about how he works. He doesn’t see full apparitions; instead, relationships and facts arrive as a clear ‘knowing’ (often called claircognizance), alongside physical sensation:

“I’ll look at you and know exactly who’s around you – family or friend – and which side of the family.”

He’s learned the hard way to pace himself, after three intense days in Guernsey supporting research into a 300-year-old case left him “burnt out for a week and a half”. The findings, later backed by translated historical documents, gave him confidence in his process – and in taking breaks when he needs them.

The man outside the messages

By day, Nathan manages programmes at Murrayside Youth Development Centre:

• teaching basic woodwork skills with autistic children,

• supporting teenagers leaving custody one-to-one, and

• coaching evening boxing classes.

When those worlds intersect, he smiles: “A pupil’s mum told me I’d given her a message at church – I love that those paths cross.”

He credits his partner (a paramedic, “my lucky charm”) with keeping him grounded:

“When she’s there, I’m unstoppable. We do forehead to forehead before I go on. The address comes, tears roll, and I know I’ve got it.”

What he wants to share

Nathan describes himself as an “ambassador of the light” – practical, heart-led, and keen to help others open to consciousness and self-worth:

“Bravery is built from self-love. The more we develop self-love, the easier it is to smash through fear.”

He’s also disarmingly honest about nerves: “The buzz kicks in days before. I can’t wait to get on platform – because helping people is the best feeling.”
