Allison DuBois has been low-key about her abilities during her youth and her adulthood. At the age of six, Allison DuBois knew that she had psychic abilities. Allison met her husband Joe at a popular college hangout called Gators near college. Joe had no idea about his wife's special psychic abilities until well after they had married. It was only after their first child was two years old that he knew that his wife was a medium and a psychic.

Allison DuBois does not like to be called a psychic because she believes it has negative interpretations. Allison communicates often with those who have passed on. She has used her psychic abilities to assist law enforcement agencies to solve crimes. Allison DuBois has worked with the Texas Rangers and the Glendale, Arizona Police Department. Currently, the law enforcement agencies have denied that any cooperation with Allison DuBois occurred. Allison also used her psychic abilities as a jury consultant.   

Before Allison DuBois had a television show, she participated in tests with the University of Arizona for four years to study mediums and psychic phenomena. She was also contacted by Paramount for a reality-TV show pilot called Oracles about people who would give psychic readings. She went in, getting narrowed down from 120 psychics all the way down to 5. The 5 psychics would be giving readings to an audience.

It wasn't completely what Allison DuBois wanted to do, but she was curious about meeting others who did what she did -- so she went and gave it a try. Here she met Kelsey Grammer, the producer of Oracles, who later became the producer of Medium. Kelsey Grammer contacted her some time later and asked if she would be interested in doing a television show based on her life.  

Allison DuBois has written several popular books: Don't Kiss Them Goodbye, We Are Their Heaven and Secrets of the Monarch: How the Dead Can Teach Us About Living a Better Life.
