A mediumship reading can be a deeply meaningful and emotional experience. My goal is to provide a comfortable, respectful space where you can remain open to whatever messages may come through.

Spirit communication is not something that can be controlled or guaranteed. I cannot choose who will come through, what they will say, or how they will communicate. Each reading is unique, and the messages that come forward are often the ones that are most meaningful or helpful at that particular time.

Come with an open mind and heart.
It is natural to hope to hear from a particular loved one in spirit. However, try not to place strict expectations on who must come through or what must be said. Sometimes another loved one may step forward first, or a message may come through in a way you did not expect.

Please attend your reading alone.
For an individual mediumship reading, I ask that you do not bring a friend or family member with you unless we have discussed it beforehand. Having another person present can change the energy and focus of the session, and messages may begin coming through for them as well. This can make it more difficult to keep the reading centered on you and your connection with your loved ones in spirit. It can also create confusion about who a particular message is intended for.

If two or more people would like to participate together, please contact me ahead of time so we can determine whether a shared or group reading would be more appropriate.

Find a quiet, comfortable place.
For phone or online readings, choose a location where you can relax and remain free from interruptions. Turn off televisions and other distractions whenever possible. Please do not participate in a reading while driving.

Allow yourself enough time.
Try to avoid scheduling your reading during a rushed lunch break or immediately before another appointment. Giving yourself a little extra time beforehand and afterward can help you remain relaxed and present.

Please arrive sober and clear-minded.
Alcohol or recreational substances can interfere with your ability to focus, remember information, and fully experience the reading.

You do not need to give me a lot of information.
Allow me to bring forward the information I am receiving first. You may respond with simple answers such as “yes,” “no,” “I’m not sure,” or “that makes sense.” 

Do not worry if something does not immediately make sense.
Sometimes a name, memory, place, personality trait, or other detail may become meaningful after the reading when you have had time to think about it or speak with family members.

Please be honest with me.
If something does not resonate, it is perfectly okay to tell me. Mediums interpret impressions, symbols, feelings, words, and images, and occasionally something may be misunderstood.

Try not to test the reading.
Holding back every piece of information or silently demanding one very specific validation can make it difficult to remain present. Validation is important, but mediumship is meant to be a conversation rather than a test.

There is never a guarantee that one particular person will communicate during a reading. A parent, grandparent, sibling, child, friend, spouse, pet, or even another person connected with your family may step forward.

I believe the loved ones who come through often do so because there is a message, memory, healing, reassurance, or connection that may be meaningful for you at that moment.

Sometimes the person you most hope to hear from does come through. Other times, someone unexpected may arrive first.

Mediumship is not about proving every detail or predicting the future. For me, it is about connection, healing, love, and reminding us that the bonds we share with those we love do not simply disappear.

Allow yourself to enjoy the experience. Laugh when a funny memory comes through. Cry if you need to. Remember the stories, personalities, and moments you shared.

Above all, come as you are.

Love never dies — and neither do our relationships with those in spirit.
