Tyler Henry, star of the recent live NETFLIX series Live from the Other Side and Life After Death with Tyler Henry, continues to be the most sought-after clairvoyant medium both in the United States and around the world. His first television show, E! Entertainment’s mega-hit Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry, showcased his unique gift of communicating with the other side and his ability to offer comfort, healing and hope to his clients and viewers. Tyler’s goal has always been to aid in the grief process and provide validation and healing through his one-on-one private readings, his TV shows, his books, his live shows, and his virtual reading app.
Tyler began receiving mental images when he was only 10 years old with the foretelling of his grandmother’s death. As he continued cultivating his gift, sometimes even by “reading” his classmates, word began to spread around his small California hometown. As a teenager in Hanford, Tyler began thinking of a way to incorporate his gift into his life plans moving forward. He graduated high school early and began taking college classes to become a hospice nurse as he believed his calling was to help people comfortably transition to the other side. At the same time, he continued to nurture his ability by doing private readings at a local bookstore for $35/hour.
Word of his talents quickly reached Los Angeles where well-known celebrities began to request private readings. Tyler found they shared the same feelings of loss and grief as all of his other clients - a kind of unspoken commonality between all people. As his clientele began to expand, an opportunity presented itself to bring his work to a much larger audience. Although shy and reserved, Tyler accepted, feeling it was his responsibility to share his ability with as many people as he could possibly reach. He has never regretted that decision.
His Netflix show, Live From the Other Side with Tyler Henry, further cements his ability to connect with audiences in real-time, delivering stunning unscripted readings that showcase the profound impact of his gift. This groundbreaking event marked Netflix’s first-ever live mediumship special, allowing viewers to witness Tyler’s work unfold in an unfiltered, deeply moving way. Simultaneously, Tyler continues to tour the country and perform readings live for his online community on a weekly basis. Known for his rational, comforting, and tactful presentation of the information he receives, Tyler warmly proves to his clients and the audience that consciousness transcends physical death for everyone.
