When everything makes sense, and yet something still doesn’t
A reading isn’t only about finding an answer. It’s also a way of noticing what may be asking for your attention.

The Reading Experience
-
Preparing for a reading
Come as you are
Some people come with a question. Some feel stuck. Others know something is off, even if they don’t have the words for it yet.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. A general question or area of your life is enough.
-
Connection
I meet you where you are
We all communicate and understand the world differently. So the first thing I do is pay close attention to how you talk about things and make sense of your world.
I want you to feel comfortable so that we can get where we need to go together.

THE READING ITSELF
What I bring to the table
I usually start a Tarot reading by shuffling the cards while I connect with my guides and turn my psychic eye fully toward you.
I’m a practical reader. I want to know what’s really going on. What are you trying to understand? What do you need clarity about? How does all of this connect to your actual life?
-
Integration
A map for moving forward
At the end of a reading, I want to bring everything we’ve learned back to your life.
I sometimes call it a “map of advancement.” We work together to find what feels useful and where you might want to go next.

How I Work
I’m a Psychic Researcher
I use tarot, astrology, palm reading, mediumship and other tools to gather information about what’s happening in your life, what may be ahead, and how you might move forward.

“The true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.”
Questions about readings
A little more about how I work
Every reading is a conversation. Here are some of the questions people ask about what happens, where a reading can go, and the different ways I work.
Before Your Reading
Getting started and what to expect.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to ask?
No. You can come with a clear question, a general area you want to look at, such as work, love, family, or the next few months, or simply the feeling that something needs your attention.
I actually prefer not to know too much before we begin. I call it a cold reading. I want to give my psychic mind room to turn on and see what’s really going on before I know the whole story.
What should I tell you when I book?
Your name, your phone number, and when you’re available over the next few days is enough. You don’t need to send me a long explanation before we meet.
During the Reading
How a reading unfolds.
What happens when a reading begins?
If we're meeting for the first time, I take some time to introduce myself and show how I work. I'll check in and make sure you're doing all right, and I'll answer any questions about the process before we begin.
Then I start shuffling my tarot cards and I'll do a short invocation. That’s part of how I connect with my guides, turn my psychic eye fully on, and give you my full attention. I’m talking, shuffling and working psychically at the same time.
Where does the information in a reading come from?
Information comes to me in different ways. I was born with what I call audio and visual psychism, so I may hear information or see images. I also receive messages from my guides, and sometimes information arrives all at once. I call that a download.
I may connect with your higher mind, your guides or ancestors, and sometimes with people who have died. Tarot gives me another way to focus and work with what I’m receiving. I use both the traditional meanings of the cards and my psychic vision to look at what’s happening and answer questions.
Do you only use tarot cards?
Tarot is one of my main tools, but it isn’t the only way I work. I also use astrology and hand analysis, and I do mediumship. During a reading I may hear information, see something visually, or receive information directly.
Where a Reading Can Go
Questions, direction and deeper conversations.
What kinds of questions can I bring to a reading?
You can ask me very practical questions. Does this person like me? Am I going to get this job? Is something really wrong in this friendship?
We can talk about love, work, family, relationships, decisions, personal development, or something you can’t quite make sense of yet.
I’m interested in your emotional life and your spiritual life, but I’m also a very practical reader. I want to talk about what’s actually happening in your world.
What if the reading goes somewhere I didn’t expect?
Sometimes something comes up that seems like a tangent, but it’s connected to the question that brought you in. A problem you’re dealing with now may be related to something else in your life.
If I sense we need to look at something different, I’ll tell you. You can always stop me, tell me something isn’t comfortable, or ask to talk about it another way. Your comfort and your experience matter to me.
What if something difficult comes up?
Sometimes we do talk about difficult or painful things, particularly when they’re close to the source of what’s going on. I want to approach those conversations with as much gentleness as I can, with time, patience and kindness.
If you aren’t comfortable or can’t hear what I’m saying, it isn’t helping you. We can slow down or talk about something differently.
Can people who have died come through during a regular reading?
Yes. Mediumship is one of the ways I work. I may become aware of family members, friends, ancestors or other people who have died during a reading.
If communicating with someone who has died is specifically why you’re coming to me, you can request a mediumship reading. I use a particular process for that kind of work.
What happens during a mediumship reading?
We go through a path working together and arrive at what I call the Gates. The Gates are a location in an energy field where we can meet and speak with people who have passed on. We can also communicate with animals who have passed on. I understand this as a gate guarded by certain types of angels.
It’s a very specific process that I was taught to do.
I approach it with respect for the person who is on the other side. I don’t force or demand anything. People who have passed on can contribute and decide to work with us. That’s the way I believe it should be.
How long is a mediumship reading and what does it cost?
A mediumship reading is the same price as any other reading, $2 per minute. I generally recommend an hour, which is $120.
I won’t do a mediumship reading in under 30 minutes. The process needs time.
Other Ways I Work
Astrology, hand analysis, mediumship and more.
Do you do astrology or birth-chart readings?
Yes. I’ve studied astrology for many years. When I see consistent patterns or problems in someone’s life, I may ask for their birth date, place and time so I can look at the natal chart and learn more about what I think of as the bones of their life.
Birth-chart work takes some additional time, so I’ll ask for the information I need and get back to you with what I find.
Do you read palms?
Yes. I’ve been studying Western classical palm reading and medical palmistry since 1998.
I didn’t have a formal teacher. I learned through books and then through practical work, talking with a thousand people about their hands and their lives.
My approach begins with classical palmistry. I look at the shapes of the hands and fingers, the joints and phalanges, the lines, and the fingerprints in each hand.
What do you believe you can learn from someone’s hands?
I believe a person’s hands give an enormous amount of information about that individual. I look at how someone was born, genetic characteristics, how their brain is wired, general patterns of health, bone structure, and how they think and feel.
I also compare the two hands. The differences can show me how someone has changed over time and how their world and experiences have affected them. I look at whether particular patterns seem to be getting stronger or weaker.
I tend to use palm reading primarily to study a person’s physical and mental health and to answer questions in those areas.
Can you predict health problems from someone’s hands?
I can sometimes make predictions by extrapolation. I’m looking at tendencies in the hands, how they differ from one another, and whether something appears to be getting stronger or weaker.
What I see in someone’s hands can raise questions or point to something I think deserves attention. It isn’t a substitute for medical or psychological care, and I don’t use palmistry in place of a medical diagnosis.
What does it mean that you’re a channeling psychic?
For me, channeling means information can arrive in different ways. I hear messages, see things visually, and sometimes receive a great deal of information at once. I call that a download.
I’ve spent decades studying and practicing ways of opening and working with those abilities deliberately. During a reading, that can happen alongside tarot, my guides, my own experience, and the conversation we’re having.
My Background & Practice
My path, studies and influences.
Have you always been psychic?
Yes. I was born with what I call audio and visual psychism. Some of my earliest memories are of seeing things and hearing voices and sounds that other people didn’t seem to experience.
As a child, those experiences could be frightening. It took time for me to learn how to live with them, protect myself and eventually work with them deliberately. By the time I was older, studying the hidden and spiritual world wasn’t simply an interest. It had been part of my life for as long as I could remember.
How long have you been studying and practicing?
More than 40 years.
I started reading tarot cards when I was 17 or 18, although my interest in esoteric traditions began much earlier, when I was a child.
What have you studied?
My college degree is in Philosophy, with minors in Comparative Religion, French and History.
Outside formal education, I’ve spent more than 40 years studying and practicing psychic work, tarot, astrology, hand analysis, spirituality, religion and esoteric traditions, Qabalah and Hermetic philosophy, Rosicrucianism, Wicca.
For me, being psychic and studying psychic experience have always gone together. I’ve had to learn how to focus abilities that were there naturally into something I can use deliberately when I’m reading for another person.
What spiritual and esoteric traditions have influenced your work?
I consider myself a lifelong student of the Western Esoteric Tradition, sometimes called the Western Mystery Tradition.
I studied with the Servants of the Light Occult School in the UK, which is based on the work of Dion Fortune, Walter Ernest Butler and Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki. That tradition comes through the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
I also study Qabalah and Hermetic philosophy.
I’m trained in Pranic Healing as taught by Master Choa Kok Sui, and I’ve practiced Pranic Healing since 1998. That also influences the work I do with my clients.
Do you follow a particular occult or spiritual tradition?
Yes. I consider myself primarily a Rosicrucian. I’m also a Qabbalist and I study Hermetic philosophy.
I’m an initiated third-degree priestess in the Alexandrian Witchcraft tradition. This is a magical tradition from England that was founded in the 1960s. I practice a particular kind of religious seasonal observation and ritual magic inside a temple.
So while several traditions have influenced me, I consider myself a Rosicrucian and an Alexandrian high priestess.
What do you mean when you talk about your guides?
I have a retinue of guides that I work with today, and I have very specialized relationships with them.
My first guides came to me when I was three, four and five years old. They were animals. They were brought to me by the psychic Vera Long, who helped me overcome some of the trauma I experienced as an extremely psychic child.
I don’t talk much about these animals, but they’ve been with me since my earliest years. They are some of my absolute dearest friends.
Do your guides have individual personalities?
Very much so.
When I was in elementary school, I began to notice a very old masculine voice speaking to me who identified himself as an ancient Egyptian. Today he’s one of my primary language guides. He talks to me very clearly and in a very specific voice. He can mock or make fun of things, and he even has an accent that he uses when he’s joking with me.
I also have a group of guides that I consider part of my High Council in the Western Mystery Tradition. They include magicians, sages and seekers of the Grail.
I have witchcraft guides as well. They are deceased humans whom I consider part of my ancestor group, even though they may not actually be related to me. I think of them as my witchcraft ancestors.
Each of these guides has a personality and a voice. I hear them talking to each other, and I hear them talking to me.
If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out.
I’m always happy to talk.
