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.  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.   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.

• When contacting Julie to request or book a reading, please do not list details about yourself or people who have passed.  I only need your first name, phone number and email address.  
• ALL BOOKINGS ARE MADE BY EMAIL ONLY.  You can contact me from this website, or readingswithjules@gmail.com.
• You CANNOT book a reading for someone else, unless it's someone coming with you that knows they are having a reading done.
• Please expect to book a time in advance.
• Payments can be made by cash or an email transfer.
• My location is in Eastern Standard Time.  If you are booking an online reading and are in a different time zone, please let me know at the time of inquiring.
• Children under the age of 18 are not permitted unless verbally discussed before booking.
• If you are late for your appointment and I don't hear from you, I have the right to cancel the reading.  I may have someone else booked after you.  Please be on time for your appointment.  
• Clients who cancel with less than 24 hours of notice for an individual reading, or no show will be rebooked at my discretion.
• Alcohol consumption is NOT recommended before or during a reading, as the use of alcohol or drugs can negatively affect the quality of readings and can even prevent being read.
• Readings for two or more people are held in the same room. This is meant to be for multiple people sharing the experience, even though different spirits and messages may come through for individuals.  Everyone is privy to the information that comes forward.  
• 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.
• If hosting a group reading, the host of a group reading is responsible for collecting payments from everyone.
• Group readings are not meant to be dinner parties.  Please stick with light snacks/refreshments (please do not serve any seafood/shellfish (severe allergies).
• Please do not light scented candles or have very strong smells in the room whenever possible, as Julie received information from spirit by scent.

​

I will give you as much notice as I can if I need to cancel or reschedule our online reading.  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 reading my full energy, so I do not like to book too many clients at once or I will burn out.  I will reschedule readings if I feel as though my energy level will not provide a good quality reading.  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.
