WHAT TO EXPECT

What to expect from a reading:

Readings are done over Zoom, in-person, remotely (via email only) or by phone. I will send you an intake from to fill out prior to our session, and we will email back and forth, so I can get an in-depth idea about what you are needing and we can then jump into the reading faster. We will talk for the first few minutes about what is going on, any blocks you have and how you’re feeling. From here we will go over questions based on what we have emailed about. Questions need to stay in the present tense, as we are ultimately dealing with this lifetime, and questions cannot be about someone else (except in the ‘how can I support this person’/ ‘what do I need to learn from this person’ category). Questions cannot be yes or no, since yes or no answers give you no depth of help, and usually the answer will be something like “You can do whatever you want”. 

I ask your permission to open your Records and then say a prayer of intention using your full name. I close my eyes and settle in to find your Book. As I am getting images I will tell you what I am seeing. After I open your Book/Records, I will ask the questions we have agreed upon. As I am explaining what I am seeing, clear understanding comes to me and I able to link the visuals with the questions, as you are also. Sometimes the visuals are complex and other times the knowing takes over, it all depends on what you need. We talk about what I am seeing/knowing and you can ask questions as we discuss throughout the session. 

I close your Records 10 minutes before the end of the session and we recap what has been said and talk about anything else you need.

The Record Keepers will never push you to go one way or another because they know that ultimately it is your choice. They will help you to see different perspectives or different views of the current situation and offer gentle nudges in your best interest.

homework (aka The Work):

At times, after a reading, there will be spiritual homework (or ‘the work’) that the Record Keepers would like for you to do. This work enables you to expand your soul and to better understand yourself. This could be as simple as writing a letter to yourself or someone else (and often burning it), journaling, meditation/visualization, or it could be as complex as readjusting a sleep or daily schedule. Sometimes the work is a one time thing and sometimes it is an ongoing process that aids in your continuous growth. Obviously the work is yours alone to do, and is ultimately optional, but highly recommended. No one is forcing you to do anything. Sometimes the work feels uncomfortable, especially if you haven’t had a (loving) dialogue with yourself in a very long time, so do what you feel comfortable with. You can jump into the deep end and immerse yourself right away, or wade in slowly from the shallow end bit by bit until you feel acclimated. All the Record Keepers ask is that you at least make an effort to do the work, to physically sit and try the suggestions they are making. They are there to guide you every step of the way, whether fast or slow. If in doubt, ask for their guidance.

 


Reading Stlyes:

I offer 4 styles of readings.

All reading styles are the same price. $144/ 90 minutes

All sessions are approximately 90 minutes, except for the remote session.

 Zoom: We meet via the Zoom platform and see each other as we would in person. I suggest bringing a cup of tea (or any hot beverage) to the session. This is meant to be a comfortable space where you can open up and allow yourself to be in the present moment. I highly recommend blocking out the 90 minutes of time from any other distractions (kids, pets, phones, etc…) I know this can be a difficult thing sometimes, but I want you to have a time that’s devoted to only you. You will have the option for me to record the session (please let me know before we start) and send you the audio file to refer back to or have a pen and paper available to write down anything of importance that comes up. I will send you a link to our session a few days before.

 

Phone: The same as a Zoom session, but without an option to record. This option is available for those who are not familiar or are not comfortable with the Zoom platform. I will be on speaker so that I can have access to both of my hands. The space that I work in is private so that our session is kept confidential. As with the Zoom session, please have a pen and paper handy to write down any pertinent information that comes from the Records. I will call you at our agreed upon session time.

Remote: This is all done via email. You explain a little about what is going on, and we work together on a question or two and I get your written permission to access your Records on the day agreed upon. I audio record the session and send you a copy along with the transcript of that reading. This way of working has its up and down sides, the upside is that you do not need to block out a time to meet with me. You listen to the recording in your own time and at your own pace. You also have a written document to refer back to. The downside is that there is no back and forth between you and I and we cannot discuss things as they come up in the moment. Recorded readings are 30 to 40 minutes in length. There will be pauses in the readings as I am working/seeing, know that this is normal and there is nothing wrong with your recording. I have prescreened the recording during the transcript process. Use the pauses to tune into your body/being and feel the words that have been said to you. You can also visualize along with me. By doing this, you will get the most from the recorded session.  

In Person: I am happy to connect with those who are within driving distance to Lincoln, Vermont. I have a cottage by a river which I built in 2021/22, that I am doing readings in. There is a short walk to get there- please let me know if this will not work for you, and we will do the reading in another space. There will be tea provided (of course!).
There is a lovely feeling about doing a reading face to face without a screen present. I cleanse the space before and after each in-person session with dried sage from my garden. If you have a sensitivity to burning sage, please let me know and I will use Palo Santo instead.
