An hour in a reading with me: I don't perform. I don't do a voice. I just tell you what's there.
A lot of people come to me unfamiliar with psychic or tarot readings. Despite spirituality really having taken off in the past ten years or so, they may be pretty into yoga now or whatever, but actual interactive connection to the spiritual world just hasn't been part of most people's reality for a pretty long time. We're all on a learning curve with this. So if you're new to readings, here's an outline of what to actually expect from a session with me.
The run-up
Maybe you have a clear question in your mind. Maybe you don't. Or maybe there's an urgent crisis to deal with and maybe there's not. Maybe it feels like there’s nothing at all. Whatever's going on for you is perfect. You don't need to prepare anything in particular, other than creating some space in your day for the call so you won't be disturbed. This isn't necessarily standard but in advance of a reading, I will usually already have a sense of what's being shared for you and why you've come to me before we speak. So by the time we connect I typically already have the shape of what you're working with.
A typical 1-hour reading
We take a few minutes to connect. Trust is at the heart of the work, so this time gives us the space to settle in and to align with where we're at as people going about our day-to-day lives. If you're going to trust me with the details of your world, I want you to feel confident that you can do so safely.
Then we drop in. I guide you through a two-minute meditation where you just sit and close your eyes if that’s comfortable, or leave them open if you prefer. We open up the energetic space for the reading and call in your guides and Higher Self. This is where you get to set your intention for the reading, and also to give as much permission and access as feels comfortable for you. You're in control of how much you open up, and if that's just a little for today, that's fine, we can work with it.
Next is some space for you to share what you're looking for in the session. Your question, or some context for what's been going on. I just listen for a while. I don't rush in with all the answers. When you're ready, I'll take a moment to reconnect, and begin to share the guidance I'm receiving around it. I may pull some tarot cards, of course, especially if you've asked specifically for a tarot reading.
Otherwise it looks very ordinary. I don't perform. I don't do a voice. I just tell you what's there — the images, messages, sensations and impressions I'm getting around your situation — and what direction I'm being given to share with you around what to do about it. I’ll be specific.
There's plenty of room for interaction. People often have plenty of follow-up questions and it becomes more of a two-way dialogue between you and your guides, with me acting as the translator. If I share something from my own perspective I'll make that clear. A lot of readers muddle the two and it's not good. What I'm channeling is what I'm channeling and my opinions are my opinions, and you deserve to know the difference.
What it feels like could be anything. Often it's "oh, that's what's going on." Often it can also be uncomfortable as your assumptions around the way things need to be are revealed as shakier than you expected. A part of you might not want to hear it. That’s normal. You might have a reaction towards me as well, positively or negatively, and that's valid too, as long as the session can stay respectful and functional. We can also always pause if it feels like too much. The space is yours.
But on a deeper level what people often feel is relief. Once the thing that's been bothering them is brought to light and named, and once they have a wider context for what's been happening, it helps to release a lot of the tension around what you've been carrying that you weren't aware of.
You leave with less of the burden, a sense of where you could be headed, and a whole new outlook.
A 30-minute reading
This is shorter and more to the point. They tend to work better when we already have a connection, and we can drop in quicker to work more tactically on something specific. They're great follow-up sessions, to check in around any additional information that wants to come through or resolve any blocks. People use these sessions for all kinds of things — to check on a new business arrangement, to see how they can make the most of an upcoming trip, or to help manage an ongoing difficult relationship in their lives. The structure is the same otherwise.
In the aftermath
You might experience a range of different emotions and insights following a session. It's perfectly normal to feel more sensitive or to feel disorientated. You may have left feeling clear, but when it comes to actually bringing that to your life, that's where the real work begins. I recommend taking some time to let things settle, and also to reflect on the reading for yourself. I share what I share, what comes through me and your guides, but it's your life and it's important to make your own decisions and listen to your own intuition. The reading is input but you're in control.
I do allow you to record the sessions as well, and it can be really helpful to listen to it again a day or two after to catch insights you might have missed and to reinforce the work.
After a few days what emerges is usually something more integrated. A version of you that's shifted. You act slightly differently. You feel freer to make different choices. This is where the real value lies. But of course, challenges can still come up. If something feels genuinely off or you're not sure if it's the work or something else, message me. I'll tell you honestly.
What a psychic reading is not
There are so many misconceptions around readings, and there's a lot of room for confusion within the space so I'll say it clearly.
~ It's not a fix. Your guides are your guides, sure, but neither I nor them are there to simply tell you what to do. I've learned the hard way that your own personal sovereignty in all aspects of your life is the most important thing, so I'm all about supporting you to be able to make your own informed choices and decisions. The readings are about revealing options you hadn't considered before and giving you more freedom and confidence.
~ I'm not here to 'predict your future'. The future is what you make of it. The reading is there to help you create the future you want to create.
~ I don't spy on people. I'm not there to 'read their mind' for you or to dish the dirt on someone else's life. That's not how I operate.
~ A reading is not a therapy session. A good therapist is helpful for anyone but if I'm feeling like therapy would be especially relevant for you, I'll say so.
~ It's also not a replacement for a medical diagnosis or legal advice. I may offer some insight into energetics in those areas but the specifics need to be handled by professionals.
So if you're reading this and still unsure but thinking you'd like to explore a reading with me, I offer a free 15-minute Clarity Call to help you decide.
