Can I get a same-day reading?

Although I do my best to be flexible and work within your schedule, it is very rare to be able to book a same-day reading. Because of the number of requests I receive, in most cases my earliest available reading appointment will be 5-10 days after I get your session request via email. 

What can I expect if I book a reading?

Once we’re comfortably settled in our chairs, I’ll ask you to join me in a brief prayer for protection and guidance–asking the Divine to open our hearts, and setting an intention to receive only the highest and best guidance.

Now I’ll ask you to state the questions or concerns that led you to seek a reading. Sometimes I begin to receive (or “channel”) psychically while you’re still asking the question! Sometimes it can take a few moments of silent reflection before things begin to flow.

I’ve been told that I sometimes talk too fast when giving a reading–there may be a flood of information and images that I want to communicate without losing anything. Sessions are recorded, and I will email you an mp3 of the reading for your reference. (If you'd rather receive the session on CD, please just ask.) You may also wish to take notes during a reading.

I’ll let you know what I’m seeing/hearing and will ask if that has meaning for you. Please ask any clarifying questions you wish. You may find that YOU are channeling guidance yourself during this time. We are all capable of accessing Source, and some people find that setting an intention and then sitting with an experienced channel opens their own third eye. I love it when this happens!

When our session is at an end, we’ll say a very brief prayer of thanks for the time we’ve shared and the guidance we’ve received. And that’s it!

Is a phone reading just as “good” as an in-person reading?

Absolutely. I am tuning into your energy. Once we set an intention, I can read you accurately whether we are in the same room or not. In fact, I strongly prefer to read over the phone because I'm not distracted by your physical appearance, body language, and so on. I'm free to focus on your energy as it comes to me through your voice.

Please note that I am no longer booking in-person readings. If you are on the waiting list, you're all set, but no new in-person sessions can be scheduled at this time.

What about confidentiality?

What we say during a reading stays between us, and only us. I take my obligation to protect your confidentiality very seriously.

What’s with the praying? Is this some creepy religious thing?

I work from a Christ-centered space. My personal spirituality is best described as Anglo-Catholic. But I welcome people of all faiths, and those who profess no faith at all. Praying at the beginning of our session is a way to prepare us for our work together, to protect the space we share, and to set an intention for only the highest and best guidance. We’re opening a channel to the Divine. At the end of the reading, I say another brief prayer to close the channel and to thank Spirit for guiding us in our session.

Wait a minute ... I thought you were in San Francisco?

In September 2009, I relocated to the metro Detroit area after 22 years in San Francisco. I return to San Francisco at least 3-4 times a year to teach workshops, and you can get more information about that on the Classes page. Because all my readings are done over the telephone, I'm able to connect with clients all over the US, Europe, the UK, Australia, and Asia.

I think my home or workplace may be haunted. Can you help?

Please call or email me with some details. I’m happy to do a free phone consultation with you to discuss your situation. If we decide it’s necessary, I’ll come out to see what’s going on and we’ll come up with a plan of action.
