Frequently asked questions

A medium acts like a telephone line to the other side, however they do not choose who comes through, what is going to be said or how it’s said during a reading.  An intuitive medium (psychic medium) is simply a communication channel between this world and the spirit world.  A medium relays the information they receive from spirit as best as they can.  While a reading will never take away the pain or sadness we experience when we lose a loved one, a medium can offer healing, peace and a certain level of evidence that the soul moves on after our physical body dies.  A medium often brings comfort, validation and evidence to you that your loved ones still exist by relaying information that they would never know about, other than if they received it from spirit.  They can also bring some knowledge into your own past, present and future when they connect with your energy and those who are still around.  A reading often helps people heal mentally and physically and spiritually grow.  

Most people can be read as long as they come in with an open mind and heart, and truly want to be there.  It takes all three of our energies to get a proper connection for a reading.

YOU can prepare for a reading by just clearing yourself of any expectations.  Tell your loved ones in spirit that you would love to hear from them during your reading and that you are open to any messages they think are best for you to hear.  Just take a few deep breaths and enjoy the experience.  

For myself, as long as I am feeling healthy, I can read for most people.   I will be honest if I need to reschedule and I will stop the reading if my connection isn't feeling strong enough or if I cannot read for someone.   I prepare my energy before every reading and set my intentions which are always to help deliver spirit messages that will help and heal my clients and give them something positive through the experience - to walk away with something they needed to hear.  Mediums are human too and we are all learning and growing in our work, so we can sometimes misinterpret information.  We do the best we can to relay the messages to you.

I believe there is a medium out there for everyone, so you will receive the messages you need somehow from the universe.

Mediumship is working with spirit by communicating with them through energy vibrations.  I feel things such as their personality, thoughts, or emotions, see images or symbols, smell things, hear things, and most of all I get an internal "knowing" from them of information.  Some of it comes through very clearly, and other times I have to interpret it as best as I know how or I get pieces of it.  Once they give me evidence that is clear to you who they are, they will give me an awareness of something happening in your life or pass down a message they are trying to send a loved one.  This message is meant to be healing or helpful to you or someone you know.  If you don’t immediately recognize the spirit that has come forward, please don’t dismiss the information right away.  It's not always for you directly, or it is often information that someone else validates later on.

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, all readings will take place over Zoom.

Most private readings are held at my home in Brantford Ontario.   My home is not wheelchair accessible, but I also offer Zoom readings.  Please ask me if I'm able to book a private reading at your place if you are not able to connect online or at my location.  Many group readings are booked at people’s homes or at their work place with co-workers after hours.  I will go ahead and book group readings once the details have been discussed, the location and if it works in my schedule.

Reiki is a form of spiritual healing that originates from Japan;  "Rei" means "universal life" and "Ki" which translates to "energy".  Reiki is a gentle energy healing technique based on the idea that life force energy flows through each and every one of us, and this natural energy can affect our well-being.  As a medium channel, energy worker and healer, I work with energy frequencies and chakras on a daily basis and know that we are our happiest and healthiest when our energy is free to move in a very balanced way.  Reiki works on the mind, body and spirit.  We are not only made up of a physical body, but an energy body and field as well.  Our chakras and energy centres can become blocked or imbalanced due to our life experiences and it is important to our vitality to keep our energy balanced as much as we can.  This type of alternative medicine aims to relax, ease stress, help you mentally, emotionally and physically.  I have been working with universal energies for years and Reiki felt like a very natural step for me to take.  I am looking forward to offering Reiki session in the near future.

• There is no set time per person and information is shared as it comes forward.  Not everyone in a group reading is guaranteed to receive a message, as a medium does not control what spirits come through or what information they receive.

​

I will give you as much notice as I can if I need to cancel or reschedule.  I ask that you do the same for me so that I can fill your spot with the next person on my waiting list, please and thank you.  

I like to give each session my full energy, so I do not like to book too many clients at once or I will burn out.  I will reschedule if I feel as though my energy level will not provide a good quality session.  Your patience and understanding are truly appreciated.  

Zoom readings are currently booked on available weekends.   

Payments can be made by online email-tranfers or cash when that is preferred for in-person readings.  For readings,  I ask that you send me the correct payment before we start our reading that day, however I will not click accept on my end of the transfer until we have completed the reading.  Thank you.
