1. Will the reading be upsetting? No. This work is done with love and grace and protection. The Guidance that comes through is always for our highest good--it is what we can handle and are ready to hear. 2. Do you predict the future? No. I believe doing so would deny God's greatest gift to us--free will. We all have the ability to choose what we do next and to change our plans at any time. However, I do offer what's called "probable futures," which is an indication of how things will probably pan out for you given your current energy. I'll also receive messages about what YOU can do to achieve a personal goal that you desire in your future. Also, if you are considering two options in your future (for example keeping your current job or accepting a new job offer) I can clearly describe the energy of either decision (i.e., what you can expect to experience in either choice and WHY). 3. How do you get your insight? Before each reading I go into prayer and meditation. I go through a process of raising my vibration and connecting to Divine Intelligence. I am in a mild trance state during a reading as I go within. I am clairaudient ( I "hear" Spirit), clairvoyant (I "see" Spirit) and I am especially clairsentient ( I '"feel" the emotions of Spirit). In plain English, I am shown "videos" in my minds eye of people, places and situations in your life. I 'hear' words put together into messages. I see the symbolism of events in your life, and the connection between them. I sense deeply the feelings, personality, and 'essence' of people in your life and of experiences you have had in your past or are currently going through. 4. Can you control what comes through? Yes and no! I can control that nothing scary or evil will come through.Beyond that, I am an instrument, a transmitter of information, ideas and messages. I can't determine what will come through. My job, done with integrity, is to stay neutral and relay the truth that comes through in a compassionate manner. I try not to interpret the meaning of the messages. 5. As the client, how can I prepare for a reading? If we are having a telephone reading, try to schedule it at a time when you will be in a quiet spot and not be interrupted. If you like to light a candle, do so. Whether it's a Telephone Reading or In-Person Reading you may want to have a list (written or in your mind) of topics, areas of concern, or specific questions you would like to ask. Then relax, and enjoy the reading! 6. Do you give advice? I prefer to call it guidance. What comes through in a reading is Suggestions about what's most beneficial to you. You never ever are told what you SHOULD do. I believe in empowering people to trust their own intuition and do what feels right in their heart. Often the guidance is simply a validation of what you already knew to be true. Insight is revealed about what may be blocking you from moving forward and ideas may come through to inspire you towards your desires. 7. What are your rates?
