Spiritual Services — FAQs

What to expect

Readings are snippets of information that I receive which are then formulated into a discussion that is inspired by your guides, angles and the reuniting of loved ones that have crossed over. Spirit brings through the core issue, or why a person has scheduled a session along with what the person most needs to hear at that particular time that is both helpful and healing. The point of this work is to reassure you of life’s continuum and who is around you in Spirit. They will often refer to what is going on for you presently and/or perhaps how you got there and what options may show up. There is no time is Spirit and Spirit will never waste the connection on frivolity or ‘misses’, so even if the information doesn’t make sense at the present time, it often will later. I can’t and won’t talk about how to win the lottery or for instance the exact time you will meet your soul mate that includes descriptions of what they will look like. Spirit does not work in that way and when information like this is shared, it takes away spontaneity and your ability to be open to everything and attached to nothing. For instance, if I told you that you will meet a man named Joe at Starbucks within the next three months. He will have brown hair, blue eyes and be about 5’10” tall. Most likely, you will then go out of your way to go to Starbucks, perhaps daily, for the next three months looking for this person and in doing so, may miss an opportunity to engage with someone else who may serve a purpose in your life in the interim. Or, what if you don’t meet Mr. Right after three months and then stop putting yourself out there altogether thinking this person doesn’t exist and miss the opportunity completely?  If/when life information comes in, it is meant to help you make positive decisions in your life. It is never meant to make decisions for you or take away your options or free will. Your inner guidance is always your best Commander-in- Chief.

Who will I connect with?

We all have a spirit team that assists us along our earthly journey. Manifestation is always about setting intentions. I will therefore set the intention to work with those most relevant to you and who are good communicators. See also preparing for a session.

How does it work?

I will avoid asking for your full name if it can be avoided and will request that you tell me nothing in advance of our session. I begin each reading describing how I work, what you can expect and answer any questions. During the session, I request that you avoid telling me anything, while I will check in with you to ensure things are making sense which can be followed by a yes or no, or perhaps, can you tell me more about…? Try not to elaborate or fill in any blanks as that may cloud the channel with information you have provided. For example, if I were to mention that I have a husband energy here and ask if that makes sense and you affirm, then I say he’s showing me a white corvette and you add, “Oh my goodness, that is the car he had when he picked me up for our first date when we went to dinner at (insert name of restaurant) and then went to the movies to see, Gone With the Wind.” I now have that information and as I continue, I may be clouded with all the detail you’ve just provided. Let the energy flow organically and if there’s time, we can chat a bit at the end. You’ll want to use your time wisely and provide the spirit world every minute to get healing information to you. A session very simply is a conference call between the parties involved, a cooperative process that goes smoother when the client is open to any and all the possibilities while validating information without elaboration on what comes through. If there is something you need more information about, please ask. I prefer to go deeper and get you more information or reframe something in a way that is better understood than to leave you bewildered.

What the medium experiences

Tuning into a channel to receive information is a bit like having many parts of the brain and nervous system on hyper-mode. I may experience tastes, smells, sensations in my body such as a chest tightness or discomfort for example, sometimes I hear information, I may see pictures, places, faces or symbols, or often there is just a knowing of what I am supposed to share. As this information comes in, I then need to translate. Because energy does not have the ability to have a full conversation with great detail as these beings exist in a much higher vibratory realm than humans, they must work hard to reduce their vibration to connect as the human then raises their vibration simultaneously. As a result of this exchange, the information comes in snippets, or flashes.  While this is all happening, it’s important that I stay connected to the channel while communicating with the client and ensuring they understand. It can get a little chaotic sometimes as spirits know they only have a finite time to communicate so information can come fast and furious and get jumbled, particularly if more than one spirit is trying to get their message across. It’s a bit like trying to piece together a very complex puzzle. Picture a press conference with several people shouting questions or comments while the speaker tries to decipher who to call on, hear the communication and then respond all while being in a very busy environment with lots of things happening.

Preparing for a session

Often before a client arrives, I’m already getting pestered by people who want to have their say. While everyone brings their spirit people with them, I have come to understand that some of the best experiences began with a little preparation on the part of the client. With that said, I would encourage you to set your intentions in advance by requesting out loud or in your head that desired loved one(s) engage or that you receive information about what it is that your seeking. Spirit communicates through thought so they hear us all the time. For this reason, I would encourage you to regularly engage with your loved ones as it keeps your relationships open and strong. Focus on what you want to know and who you would like to come through which can make the experience more fulfilling and healing. Spend some time meditating on your situation(s), and feel free to write down any questions or topics you would like to cover. As an Evidential Medium, it is my goal to show evidence of the life continuum and while I always do my best to reach those you would most like to connect with, I cannot guarantee they will engage. Equally, persona does not change once in the spirit realm. If a person was quiet and reserved in the earth plane, these characteristics will continue. Ideally, we want good communicators with healing messages that are important for you to hear at that point in your life and this may or may not come from your preferred messenger.

What is typically covered in a session?

Topics of discussion frequently include:

· Employment

. Bereavement

. Life Path

· Home/Living Arrangements

· Family/Friends

· Finances

· Health/Wellness

· Romance/Relationships

· Pets

* Topics covered may include both the living and those in spirit. Yes, pets continue in spirit as they are part of the energy continuum.

We may review trends, patterns and future opportunities. Opportunities are just that, situations that will present themselves and then allow you to evaluate and choose your preferred path; these are not carved in stone and you always have the ability to exercise free will. The information shared merely assists you in making those decisions.

If you ask or I receive information about people or pets who are alive, I will ask their guides for information that will better enable you to assist them or help you to understand the situation better.

Sessions are always confidential and not shared with anyone.

Are sessions recorded?  

I do not provide recordings of your appointment as I would feel terribly if for some reason my technology failed. You however, are welcome to record our session and/or bring a notepad and writing utensils.  I encourage this as there may be spiritual homework. Homework results from: information that you may not have direct knowledge about and therefore need to check in with a family member or friend or; when you need to follow up on something or be able to refer back to it later and don’t want to forget what it was.

Are phone or computer-based platform readings as effective as in-person sessions?

Absolutely! Time and location do not exist in Spirit, so any messages I receive will be the same regardless of when, where or how we interface. Often times, I find it easier to connect to someone’s energy and those of their loved ones when I only have the sound of the client’s voice. It eliminates distraction and permits the energies of loved ones a clear pathway to channel with me. This style also tends to put the client at ease as they are in the comfort of their own desired space, particularly if it’s their first experience with this type of work.

You may wish to consider having some questions written down in advance of your session, and time permitting, we will cover whatever didn’t organically come through for you. Have some paper and a few writing utensils with you. Pens have been known to run out and you’ll want a backup just in case. See also preparing for a session.

What if I need to cancel my appointment?  

If you have pre-paid or provided a deposit for an appointment and need to cancel, it is required that you call within 48 hours of your scheduled time for a full refund, please do not e-mail. Refunds may take up to three business days to process.
