Informed Consent & Permission
Consent is so important. In this type of work, that means I don’t connect in before our session or until you’ve given me a verbal ok. I know many people are looking to connect with specific loved ones in spirit but consent the same in the spirit realm - I only work with those who willingly come to me. In psychic work, I am only going to connect with you and your energy. I know it can be tempting to want to check in on other people - I don’t do it for others and I don’t recommend anyone does it themselves either!
Confidentiality & Privacy
You are welcome to get an anonymous reading. If you are not comfortable giving me your phone number so I can call you, please let me know and I can arrange for you to call me. I strive to keep all information pertaining to your appointments, including the existence of appointments in the first place, strictly between you and I. Privacy in all forms, from payment information to appointment records, is your right as a client. I also appreciate you keeping boundaries between us so that I can retain my privacy as an individual, outside of the reading room. This means not looking up my personal information or otherwise attempting to contact me except in regards to an appointment.
Supervision & Professional Associations
I am activity working on my own growth and healing with practitioners much, much more experienced than myself. At this time I focus on weekly sessions with a Jungian analyst. In the past I have worked with seers, mentors, coaches and teachers from a variety of disciplines. A few of the most important people and institutions in my education are Andrea Wadsworth, Marza Millar, Lily Dale, Arthur Findlay, Judith Rochester and Fellowships of the Spirit. I am currently a registered minister at Fellowships of the Spirit.
Scope of Practice & Delivery of Service
It is so important for you to remember I am not a doctor or therapist and my work is not a replacement for these professionals. When you book an appointment, I will ask what kind of reading you would like (mediumship, tarot and/or psychic) and I will happily provide your preferred technique. Our time together is short and I strive for perfect timeliness - I hope you do too. If you are unable to be on time, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you but usually you will have to forfeit that time. I am typically unable to reschedule or refund an appointment on the same day. However, if in the reading you are not happy, let me know within the first ten minutes and I’ll happily refund you.
Objectivity & Not Giving Advice
My foundational values are curiosity and care. I hope that you’ve come to me because these are important in your life too. Unconditional support is my goal for everyone I work with - I deeply care about my clients. While pure objectivity is not a realistic human trait, I believe that curiosity is the antidote for judgement - I believe we can all feel that. In the beginning of your reading I will ask you to listen to my words but to pay the most attention to what is happening within yourself. You are your own healer - I’m just here to bring you information to help you with that. I may offer some ideas for things you can do but I work best when I’m sharing information not giving advice.
Appropriate Recordkeeping & Charging of Fees
If you would like your session recorded, please let me know. I keep scheduling records (including payment receipts) but no other types of records about readings. Charging for readings is a complex topic. I yearn for the old days and far away societies where healers and energy workers are cared for by their communities and provide their work for free in return. I do not depend on money from readings for survival - for me, spiritual work is not safe for hinging mundane needs upon. I do charge for my time at industry standard rates out of respect for my limited amount of energy and my colleagues. If payment is ever a barrier for you, please reach out. I am happy to find another form of reciprocity.
Attention & Choice
When we start your reading I will ask you why you’ve come. At this point I will open the connection and my attention will stay with you until our session ends. Because of this, I keep strict time. It takes a lot to remain focused on someone in multiple realms and I can only do so during our sessions. I close the connection when we are done. Know that I practice safe connection through my own methods of prayerful request, grounding, energetic hygiene and mindfulness. I have chosen to do this work to provide useful exploration of the unseen in this world - it is wild and wonderful work and I hope you enjoy it.
Process & Connection
You can expect that I do any practice or experimental work outside of our sessions - unless you ask for it! This is not a hard science - my process is constantly evolving and if you have ideas for something you’d like to try, let me know. I am also beyond happy to explain to you what is going on during a session - please feel free to ask. I will explain briefly when we begin but I can go in much more detail as desired. I hope that our time together makes you feel more comfortable with the unseen realms. I do have a few circles and classes or can recommend people if you would like to learn more.
