About My Readings

When we experience events, we make decisions, decisions that can span and affect many lifetimes for good or ill.
For example, if you decide that it is a truth about yourself and your reality that you don't deserve to be loved, you will encounter people and experiences lifetime after lifetime that “prove” that you are right. This won't change until you change your mind about yourself.
During a reading with me, you will receive information that can help you make different decisions. The effects from those different decisions will spread through time and space, reaching all those different aspects of you that were affected by the original decision.
During a session, when you or some aspect of you makes such a life-changing decision, I feel the energy as a shift in my heart. When I feel that shift, I know that something has changed in your spirit. I also know that the change is permanent. Although sometimes a change is instantly apparent, it can take time for the change to become obvious to you (usually no more than a few months). However long it takes, when I feel that shift, I know the change will come.
I have been told many times that some problem a person had been struggling with went away and never came back after such a shift. Often, the change they notice is physical, such as chronic back problems, though what I am doing is making available energies for healing on the spirit level. But since I believe that everything starts and ends in spirit, that makes sense. You heal on a spiritual level, and you can then bring forth that healing in your own life however you wish.
How I can help you
I can help provide intelligent, solid, grounded information in a number of ways and areas of your life:
- With my strong background in corporate America, I can give practical, grounded advice about business situations you are experiencing. I know a lot about how corporations run, both how they say they run and how they actually run. I’ve been a manager and an employee and self-employed; I’ve seen a lot of situations and can offer a lot of sound, practical advice, backed by education, experience, intuition, and my psychic abilities, that will help you make healthy decisions with better information and understanding. No one will ever know you consulted a psychic advisor; they will just notice that you are doing much better and that you are more aware and on top of things!
- I can help with relationship issues—all kinds of relationships: family, friends, lovers, spouses, children, and so on. I can provide a range of information from different sources, including what the future of any given relationship looks like, so that you can make informed decisions in your life.
- I can contact the “dead”—people who have, from our perspective, “died.” In other words, I can contact the dearly departed for messages for you. Sometimes a soul is still in their life review, or is possibly in soul school, so I may have only limited or even no access, but I will always tell you if that is the case.
- I can examine your early years in this life for issues that you may be still working with. That includes looking at the other people in your early life, with the permission of their souls, to see if there is additional information they have that might help you.
- I can access other lifetimes you are living that are relevant to this lifetime, identify and describe core issues and decisions you have made in those lifetimes, and help you and your greater self make different decisions, for life-changing results. I do not do past-life regressions, which involves hypnosis. I don’t hypnotize people. Instead, I take a psychic look at your other (“past”) lives and provide you with that information.
- I can clear your energetic fields and make available universal loving energies that can help you heal yourself on an energetic and spiritual level.
- I can speak with your higher self to bring messages through to you, so you can check in to see how you are doing with your life’s purpose.
- I can look at probable/possible futures to see what might result for you depending on different choices. For example, if you are debating on two different job choices, I can psychically look at each choice to see what your experiences will be with each. This enables you to make better, more informed decisions, always bearing in mind that the future is never set in stone and can and does change all the time.
- I can channel a number of very high-level, very loving entities, including Metatron, God, Jesus, Seth, and Athena, as well as a number of others. If these entities choose to speak, they will have loving, useful information for you.
- I can give guided visualizations that are spiritually very healing.
- I can give intuitive readings of your animal companions to find out why they are here and what their role is in your life.
You won’t necessarily get all this in one reading, though you might! But normally, you will be contacting me about some specific questions and issues you have, and that will involve a subset of the skills listed above.
About My Talents
I’ve written a great deal about psychics in this article. In summary, every psychic has his or her own style, strengths, gifts, and specialties. Some psychics are great. Some psychics aren’t that great. Psychics don’t always have a very high level of awareness or spirituality, either. Psychics range in accuracy from close to zero percent to 80 percent and sometimes better, though no psychic is one hundred percent accurate one hundred percent of the time. A psychic’s level of awareness and ethics affect how they come across and the types of readings they give.
I am very good at reading people—who they are, what kind of person they are, and what their souls are like. I can “see” who a person really is, even when they themselves are not aware of who they are or what their issues are. I am also very good at identifying core life issues, often ones that affect many lifetimes. When I look at these issues, I can contribute information that makes it possible for you to make new, healthier decisions that span all your lives. I can feel the shift in energy when my clients make decisions that are life-affecting, and my more aware clients can feel the shifts too.
Note that I am not doing the changing for you. It is completely and 100% up to you to decide what, if anything, you do with the information I provide. My role is to provide the information. I also provide validation; most of the time, you will already know most of what I have to say about you and your situation. What I offer that is new is additional information about situations from a higher perspective; it is that information that we all eventually will be able to access ourselves, but right now, most of us need to use specialists in spirit communications, such as myself, to get that information.
How I Get My Information
When I do a reading, I use several different ways to access information:
- I listen to the higher spirits who wish to communicate information. When I ask a question, or when one of my clients asks a question, I may get the answers from another spirit. Often, the spirit is the client’s higher self. Sometimes it is one of the entities I usually channel.
- I use my psychic abilities to access what some people might call the Akashic Records. I don’t know if that is what they are; I just know that there is a source of information that I can access. When I visit that source in spirit, I experience it as a vast library with levels of access. Not everyone can access everything there, but I seem to have a fairly high level of clearance, because I have been let into the restricted areas. :-) When I ask a question, or when one of my clients asks a question, I get the answers from this source. In this case, the answers aren’t coming from another spirit.
- I answer from my own many years of experience as a psychic and channeler, as well as my many years of practical, pragmatic life experiences.
Usually, I use all three sources, and I also let my clients know where the information is coming from, so they can make up their own minds about it.
Where Readings Are Held
I am often asked if I can do readings by phone. The answer is yes! In fact, the majority of my readings are done by phone or, in the case of international clients, by Skype.
What To Expect in a Reading
When I give a reading, I do the following. Which of these I do in any given reading depends on what you want and how much time we have.
- At the start, I tune into you psychically and also ask my spirit contacts for information on you. (Sometimes, I start doing this before the reading officially starts.) I then speak about the issues I “see” and pass on any initial information from the spirits who are present.
- Usually after step 1, you ask your questions, so we can address the issues you are most concerned about. (It isn't mandatory, but it can be helpful to write down your questions before the reading.) Note that as I continue your reading, my connection deepens, so that later in the reading I might get more precise or specific information.
- At some point, and it can come at any time after step 1, I may address other lifetimes that you are living, lifetimes that are relevant to the current one. It is at this point that I very often feel shifts in your energy as you make life-altering decisions at a level that affects multiple lifetimes.
I don’t always address other lifetimes; it depends on many factors, including how much energetic and spiritual work we’ve already done in the reading. It also depends on how long the reading was scheduled to be. Shorter readings normally address issues that are more “everyday”; longer readings tend to address the big stuff.
I also don't always feel shifts. Those are subject to a lot of factors, including your own spirit's path and intentions. - Sometimes, I do remote energy work on you using a combination of my Reiki training and my training from Metatron, who is a master of spiritual healing.
- On very rare occasions, I might do a guided visualization as directed by my spirit contacts. These guided visualizations are always unique; in all my years of public and private channelings and private readings, my spirit contacts have never repeated themselves. The guided visualization is a gentle spiritual/energetic healing process that digs very deeply into your soul and brings forth healthy new growth.
- If you wish, I will record the reading, make a CD or CDs, and will mail them to you. The audio recording is a courtesy and is not an official part of the reading; I say this because sometimes the recording just doesn't work, so I can't promise it. In addition, it usually takes me another hour or two to prepare the audio files, so it is truly a gift and a courtesy. If you want to make absolutely sure you get a recording, you might also want to make arrangements to record the session on your end.
If I prepare audio files for your sessions, after you confirm that you have received the CDs, I erase the recordings I made out of respect for your privacy. That means you have the one and only recording of the session.
Preparing for a Reading
Before your reading with me, it is useful to prepare a list of the questions you want to ask. I suggest this because, once you and I are in the reading space, we are both in a state of mind that is slightly apart from normal reality. In that state, you may feel that you already know the answers, or that you have no questions to ask. This is because, with my help, during the reading you are connecting more strongly with your own higher self and your own inner sense of knowing. In that state, things seem so much clearer!
But later, when you are back in your normal state of consciousness, you may wish you had asked those questions. By having a list, you can go ahead and ask those questions and have them answered.
Another benefit of writing down your questions beforehand is that it helps clarify why you are asking for the reading and what you hope to get out of it. You may even find that, in writing the questions, you already have your own answers for some or all of your questions.
Have some water on hand during the reading, and make sure you will be uninterrupted if at all possible. Also, don’t plan anything for the rest of the day, if possible, so that any spiritual or energetic healings that took place have a chance to sink in. If being active later can’t be avoided, that’s okay. Everything will work out in the grand scheme of things.
