As a child she could see spirits and “know things” before they happened, scaring her at times until she realised her gift in her late teens when attending a spiritualist church in Corrimal.
Despite trying her hand at different occupations over the decades like nursing and hypnotherapy, Erwin was always drawn back to “helping people” via the spirit world.
These days Erwin uses her craft to help people in large public shows, though still does smaller readings. She said there were so many grieving people wanting closure from tragedy.
Similarly, Lisa Williams was beckoned to the craft by spirits nagging her to get their messages to people in the present.

Regardless, both have become successful in dealing with the afterlife – Williams put it down to fascination with the unknown, while Erwin believed everybody was psychic in some way, also sparking fascination.
