Common Questions

What is your religion and does this come into play when you do readings?

I cannot tell you how many emails I get from people living in other countries who ask me this question and attempt to "educate" me on their religion by sending me quotes, website links, and their own interpretations of their religious doctrine.  I'm here to tell you that, though I am familiar with many forms of religion, I do not practice an organized religion but I do practice personal spirituality.  It seems that, generally speaking and in my experience as a practicing psychic, many of those outside the United States do not understand this which is indicative of our differences in culture.  I respect everyone's right to practice whatever religion, belief system, and/or ideology that they find is truth to them.  I do not profess to be a religious scholar and, deep down, I do not believe this is my calling here, on this earth, at this time.  My readings are as pure as they can be.  I tell my clients what I see, hear, and feel during the readings.  As such, when asked for advice from clients, I will give advice based on the information I receive from Guides and, sometimes, explain my own personal experiences and lessons when, and if, it may help a client come to a better understanding of the subject we are discussing.

Do you do readings for people outside the United States?

 Yes, I accept and have clients from around the world. Just be sure that your English is clear enough that we can understand each other, and that you can reach my US number. If your English is a little rusty it can take twice as long for me to explain what the Guides are saying and it can be frustrating for everyone.

Can you predict my future and tell me what to do?

Very often during readings the guides will tell my clients things that are going to happen in the future. But because we are creative human beings creating every moment of our lives by the decisions that we make the future can be altered, so any information you get in a reading can be changed by free will (usually). Guides won’t tell you what to do, but they will explain the consequences of your choices.

Do I need to give you any background information about me for the reading to work?

Not necessarily, however, it may help to have your full name and date of birth to help me connect with you better. I will connect with your guides, teachers, angels, and deceased loved ones who will communicate the most important messages they think you need to hear. Then they’ll answer specific questions for you.

Is 30 minutes enough time to get a full reading?

Most of time the answer is yes. However, you can usually get more in depth answers to your questions if you book longer readings.  I do suggest a longer reading for your first time with me but it is not necessary unless you want it. The guides are aware of the time limit and are excellent at getting you the information you need as succinctly and clearly as possible during whatever time you believe is necessary. During the longer in-person readings, the guides usually go into greater depth on the issues, and communication with deceased loved ones is longer, but in general the session times are exactly the length they need to be.

Will you be able to connect with my deceased relative or friend?

Personally, this is an interesting subject.  Although I have scored the highest in mediumship tests, sometimes I’m able to connect directly with deceased relatives, and sometimes I do not detect them present at a reading. I won’t know until I tune in. Sometimes the guides will give me information about a deceased loved one even if they aren’t present themselves. If the only reason you want a reading with me is to connect with a deceased loved one then you might be better served finding someone who specializes in mediumship.

Will our conversation be confidential?

Yes, you and I are the only people who will hear the reading. I sometimes discuss readings in a general manner but I never use your name. You may, however, provide me with a testimonial if you desire, which I will put in the Testimonial section.

Can I record our phone reading?

If you have the equipment to do such a thing then I am fine with that. At this time I am not offering that service. I encourage you to take notes that you can refer back to later. Most people either take written notes or use their computers to type out notes.
 
What do I do if I can’t make my scheduled appointment?

Let me know as soon as possible if you can’t make your appointment. Sometimes I need to reschedule when I’m sick and I’ll let you know that as soon as possible too. If you have to reschedule more than twice, however, I will refund your money and ask you to book again when you’re sure you’re ready.

Why aren’t you doing in-person readings?

Right now, I am not doing in-person readings however, I will consider doing them for those who are referred to me by very long-standing clients and friends.

Do I need to do anything special to prepare for a reading?

Write down some questions or at least the areas you want me to cover. Doing a little meditation or some deep breathing ahead of time will increase your vibration and that will help me connect with you quicker.

How do you receive your intuitive information? Do you use tarot cards or what?

I do not use tarot cards or any other type of tool other than just me and my universal connection.  I’m clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, and empathic. When I first tune in the guides will communicate images or they’ll just start talking to me. It varies. As the reading continues, the connection usually gets stronger.

Can you just answer 1 question for me for a reduced fee?

Opening up the conduit to answer just one question is a big waste of time and energy. It’s like getting God on the line and asking just one question. When I open the line, so to speak, your guides will have a lot to share with you. They don’t want to just answer one question, they want to share information, wisdom, insight, and knowledge with you. Out of respect for the guides and the process, I don’t do readings to answer just 1 question. 30 minutes is the minimum.

Can you answer a question for me before I book a reading to prove you’re really psychic?

No, I don’t work that way. For one, I don’t have time to do that for everyone who asks. Also, if you don’t trust me and tend to be extremely skeptical  I won’t be able to read for you anyway; you’ll block my connection. In addition, I can’t connect without your help, and I do not have the time to meditate and tune-in by calling in the guides just to prove to you I’m legitimate. Somehow it just feels disrespectful to the spirit world.  Read through my testimonials, read through my blog to get to know me, and when you’re ready, book a reading. Or let your friends and family give you referrals to a psychic they trust.

If you are here to provide spiritual guidance, then why do you charge for your readings?

It is understandable why one would ask this question because I have grappled with this question for myself during the early years of my psychic career.  When I first began doing readings I did not charge for my time. For a while, the reward for me was the fact I was actually the conduit for helping people in need. Over time, however, I became overly exhausted and depleted of energy.  I began getting chronic ailments that hindered my ability to do readings.  Even though my intuition remained intact I was too tired to help my friends and clients.  I took some time off to rejuvenate as my guides told me to do.

It was after I learned how to take care of myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually that I learned the Universal laws of Success.  In addition, I realized that I was not receiving anything back for my years of hard-learned lessons, years of study, and years of outpouring of personal energy.

According to Depak Chopra, the Universe operates through dynamic exchange…giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the Universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the Universe circulating within our lives.  NOW I do the best I can to live by this law.

I discovered that if I can get something meaningful in exchange for my readings then the easy flow of energy would be restored.  After this discovery, I decided to charge for my time and efforts and I have not had the same intensity of energy loss since.  As a natural- born intuitive I have learned to focus my energies and to open myself up to the Universal chi (energy) in order to provide meaningful readings for others.  This, in itself, takes time and discipline in all areas of my life in order to give my clients the best I can give.

When you go to work at your place of employment, don’t you expect to get paid for the time and efforts you put into it? That’s how we pay our bills, right?  Regardless of the type of work you do, don’t you prepare for your job every day and then put your best foot forward by exerting energy and applying yourself to do the best job you can do?  The amount of energy I put into my work is no different.

Do you reimburse clients for readings?  In other words, are your readings guaranteed?

Psychic readings are not guaranteed.  Sometimes clients may not like to hear the answers given by spirit or, at the time, may not understand the answers given but, in my experience, my longstanding clients have reported that they will have a "lightbulb" moment or a moment of clarity when they come to a true understanding of the information the guides have relayed through an earlier channeling session.  When you purchase a reading, you are purchasing my undivided attention and my time.  Whether you buy 30 minutes, or 90 minutes, I dedicate myself wholly to this time plus I add 15 minutes of meditation, prior to our reading, in order to connect with you and Spirit.  My time is valuable to me just as your time is valuable to you.  I will not play games and reimburse full payment of a reading when I've spent so much time and energy on the client's behalf to give the best possible reading I can give.
