Wilson has stated that her psychic healing abilities include curing arthritis{{R|arthritis}} and the healing of vision impairments that require glasses.{{R|Fire}} She has also stated that she has treated paralysis, blindness in one eye,{{R|Sceptics}} and many cases of life-threatening cancer.{{R|Psychics}}{{R|Sceptics}} Wilson has said she never discourages her clients from seeking medical care,{{R|Sceptics}} however she has publicly discouraged her followers from seeking medical screening for breast cancer, stating "I’m not convinced about [[mammograms]]. I’ve had one myself but personally I wouldn’t have another one. That isn’t me telling you not to have them, but I know what it does to me and my body.”{{R|Psychics}}

Wilson describes accused serial [[sex abuser]] and debunked [[faith healer]] [[João Teixeira de Faria]], AKA John of God, as a mentor and has said that they are both assisted in psychic healing by some of the same spirits.{{R|Psychics}} She describes her claimed psychic abilities in the context of her [[Christianity]], stating that they are a gift from God. She has stated that her psychic sessions always include the [[Lord's Prayer]] and the [[Hail Mary]].{{R|TV}}

In addition to conducting private consultations, Wilson has held public events in places such as the UK{{R|arthritis}} and New Zealand.{{R|TV}}{{R|Sceptics}}{{R|Fire}}

==Anti-science activism==
Wilson has spread anti-vaccine messages,{{R|arthritis}}{{R|Psychics}}{{R|Fire}} including a claim that vaccines are linked to Alzheimer's disease.{{R|Fire}} She further claims that the media and pharmaceutical industries are suppressing cancer cures,{{R|Psychics}} that [[5G|5G technology]] is a "weapon",{{R|Fire}} and that drug and gambling addiction can be caused by bad spirits.{{R|TV}}

The [[Good Thinking Society]]'s project director, [[Michael Marshall (skeptic)|Michael Marshall]], has expressed concerns that Wilson's shows may discourage people from seeking medical help while "wasting their money," and that her anti-vaccine rhetoric may endanger children.{{R|arthritis}} Several venues in the UK cancelled appearances by Wilson after Marshall contacted them about these concerns. The [[NZ Skeptics]] made a similar effort to urge venues to cancel Wilson's events during her tour of New Zealand.{{R|Sceptics}} The chair of the organization, Craig Shearer, voiced concerns about the risk of participants forgoing medical care and suffering financial exploitation.{{R|Sceptics}}{{R|Psychics}}

After being contacted by Marshall, the [[Advertising Standards Authority (United Kingdom)|UK Advertising Standards Authority]] cautioned Wilson to, according to Wilson, comply with UK regulations and "remove any claims to work with spirit world doctors, any videos that mention any diseases. I am only able to say that I can give people a feeling of well being.”{{R|Psychics}}

==Dietary supplements==
At her shows, Wilson advertises a dietary supplement, called alfa PXP ROYALE, made from [[Micronization|micronized]] [[black rice]]. The supplement is sold by a Enzacta, a [[multi-level marketing]] company for which Wilson is a paid promoter, at a dramatic markup relative to the cost of whole purple rice sold in supermarkets or micronised purple rice sold online.{{R|Psychics}}

A surgeon interviewed by Australia's ''[[A Current Affair (Australian TV program)|A Current Affair]]'' television show criticized the marketing of the supplement, stating that customers are "wasting their money, and for this product a large amount of money; and secondly, they may be led to believe they don’t need to take their effective treatments for conditions they may actually have.”{{R|Psychics}} Despite this, Wilson claims that the "purple powder" can help elderly people "keep their vibrations up", and at one performance she invited an audience member to speak with her about the "best thing for scar tissue" off camera, so that "trading standards don't become all uppity."{{R|arthritis}}
