Frequently Asked Questions

There are lot of different kinds of readings and healings out there. Can you help me understand the differences between them?

Sure! I can only speak to what I’ve personally experienced, but I hope this helps you with a starting point. These are my definitions and associations with the following sessions. Please follow up with your own research, of course.

A tarot card reading, aka divination reading, is when a reader relies strictly on divination tools (tarot cards, pendulums, runes, tea leaves, etc.) to provide insight and guidance for the sitter. This can be incredibly accurate when describing the energy of a situation or circumstance, the type of people involved and potential outcomes. These readings can be vague on details, but typically the sitter is knowledgable on what the messages are referring to. For example: the reader may not see exactly what the specific traumatic event was, but may understand there was trauma revolving the topic being asked about. Topics can vary between career/work, love, personal/spiritual, healing, and beyond.

A psychic reading, aka intuitive reading, is where the reader uses their “clair” senses with and or beyond the divination tools to perceive energy, messages, visions, and projections. This type of session will provide more detailed specifics than a divination-tools-only reading. For example: The reader could receive downloads of details about places, people, schools, jobs, etc. that are descriptive enough to stand apart from the general. The reader may see the sitter snowboarding or going on vacation during a specific month or to a specific city. (There’s no specific tarot card for snowboarding or Italy unless you’ve specified that in your question.)

A mediumship session is specifically to communicate with deceased loved ones (family, friends, pets, ancestors, etc). A medium uses their psychic abilities to receive messages from across the veil. This is like a telephone call to the other side, whichever one of your loved ones that is available and wants to work with the medium, will come through. The spirit(s) that answer are not always who you expect to hear from, but may be who you need to hear from.

An Akashic reading is when an intuitive and or healer taps into your souls journey in previous lifetimes, this life, and future lives, through the Akashic records. (I’ll let you dive deeper on what the Akashic records are on your own. It’s a much larger conversation.) These powerful healers see bits and pieces of your souls journey amongst thousands of years. There is an immense amount of energy healing, prayers, past life regressions, and spiritual information here to help you heal old wounds, clear repeating cycles, and re-claim your power. There’s a lot more to that higher dimensional work, but that is the broad scope of it to my understanding. It’s a soul reading of many lifetimes, with a psychic medium who’s connected to very high dimensions.

Reiki is a type of physical energy healing practice the originates from Japanese decent, and has been intentionally spread across the world. There are many well certified practitioners and multiple levels of expertise. For practitioners, each level requires specific training and an attunement from a Reiki master. These sessions are often given with a client lying on their back or stomach as the practitioner channels healing energy into the body, without touching the client. The effects of Reiki are often seen over time, similar to maintaining a healthy diet or going to a chiropractor consistently. For those who are more familiar with their psychic abilities, they may feel the effects during the session and after. My personal analogy of explaining Reiki: You are a rechargeable battery. Sometimes you leak, and drain faster than usual. Reiki repairs the leaks so you can hold your charge longer and feel stronger.

Personal Astrology and Human Design readings are also incredibly fascinating. I call this the mathematical way to understanding the universe’s divine timing and your potential. Astrologers read the planets’ movements like web developers read code. It’s a whole language that once translated is truly just shockingly accurate the deeper you get into it.

Therapy sessions are a safe place for you process, heal, and discuss out loud what you’re going through, with the support of an educated licensed professional. This is the human support system backed on years of trial and error, science, and recognition that is still evolving today. I think it’s important to note, spiritual sessions are often the intuitive or healer giving the client channeled energy or information from the other side. The client is quietly receiving. In therapy, the opposite is happening. The client is actively doing the work and sharing, while the therapist is receiving, holding space, and gently guiding you into a healthy mental space. Both may be needed to heal, as one does not cancel out the other.

*Every practitioner, healer, and or intuitive is different. We all have our specialities. I recommend showing up to any type of session with an open heart and being ready to receive.

Spirit vs. spirit(s)?

Spirit = with a capital S, is the term I prefer to use when referring to the Divine, God, Goddess, the Universe, Source, Life Force, the Holy Spirit, Spirit Guides, and so on.

spirit(s) = a lowercase s, is a term I often use when referring to a “ghost” or deceased person. This term can be used as an umbrella for non-3D beings which could also include but is not limited to: angels, fairies, sprites, nature-spirits, elementals, celestials, etc.

*If at any point you need clarity, please ask!

How long have you been a psychic medium?

When I was around two years old, I was noticeably seeing and talking out loud to spirits. My mother, also a psychic medium, discovered quickly that these friends were not imaginary, as I provided her with evidence I couldn’t possibly know about her deceased loved ones. Growing up, I lived in a very spiritually active “paranormal” house. At some point, I blocked out spirit communication for many years. Although I couldn’t hear or see spirits anymore, I could still feel their presence. I feared them.

Over the last six years, I’ve been gradually reclaiming my psychic abilities, and releasing my childhood fears. As my psychic senses continue to get stronger, my ability to receive visions and communicate with spirits beyond the veil has continued grow.

After losing ten close loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic, my relationship with the spirit realm changed dramatically. In those three years of financial loss, grief, death, heartache, and depression, a new door opened for me. Spiritualists call this the dark night of soul. This is what lead my spiritual initiation into psychic mediumship.

In August 2021, I offically left my job as production coordinator in the film industry, and decided to start offering readings professionally two months later. This journey hasn’t been easy, but I’m grateful and humbled by all that has been, all that is, and all that is yet to be.

I’m honored to be of service for Spirit and to have this opportunity to help others connect with their deceased loved ones and deliver guidance from the spirit realm. Special thanks to my supportive spirit guides, mentors, psychics, friends, family, and clients for making this happen.

Do I need to do anything before my session?

Please read my follow up e-mail.

After you book a session, you will receive a confirmation booking e-mail with more information and a video chat link. I recommend my clients set intentions or write down questions / topics they’re seeking advice on prior to their session. This is optional, but helps the session go smoother. Also, please try to remain calm with an open heart during your session.

Are you offering services in person?

For now, I am only offering 1:1 sessions remotely. My clients are often calling from different states and countries. If you’re hesitant to book a virtual session, just know that if you’re unhappy with your session for any reason, I will not charge you per my Good Faith Policy below.

I am available for public in-person events. Please send your inquiries to booking@theartsymedium.com.

Good Faith Policy - Tell me more.

I understand there are a lot of fraudulent psychics and mediums out there in the world. Also, not every psychic / medium can read for every person. To build trust with my clients, I created my Good Faith Policy to protect their interests and foster a safe open space to give and receive a reading in. Unfortunately, every once in a while I come across energetic blockages where I may not be able to read for someone, and although this does not happen often, it can happen.

If for some reason I can’t connect with your spirit guides or loved ones or you are unhappy with your session for any reason, please tell me during the reading, and I will not charge you / refund your money!

How do I make changes to my appointment? What is your cancellation policy?

In the confirmation e-mail from notifications@calendly.com, there is a reschedule and cancel link at the bottom of the e-mail. If you need any assistance with this, contact me directly to change your appointment. If you’re running more than 10 minutes late the day of the appointment, I cannot guarantee a time slot that day as I may have other sessions booked directly after you.

Can I gift a reading to someone else?

Yes! Gift certificates are good for one year and one time use. If you’d like to purchase a reading for someone else, please e-mail me directly at booking@theartsymedium.com.

Do you have sales or discounts?

I sometimes run small flash sales near the holidays on Instagram @the.artsy.medium, but the best way to get a discounted reading is by referring me to other people. If you refer me to someone else, and they book a session, you’ll receive a 15% off discount on your next reading!

Psychic or medium? What’s the difference and which are you?

Great question! There’s a famous saying, “All mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums.”

A psychic uses their (clair) senses and or divination tools to give you information beyond the obvious. These messages often provide clarity, healing, guidance, and projections.

A medium uses their psychic senses to do this, and to communicate with deceased loved ones across the veil, like a telephone. A psychic or medium should always provide validating information to you, and doesn’t require much information from you, a simple yes or no is plenty.

I’m technically both and practice both! My dominant psychic senses are clairsentience (clear feeling) and clairvoyance (clear seeing). I occasionally experience the other senses that involve knowing, hearing, smelling, and tasting. I enjoy using cards and pendulums, although I don’t really need them to do a session. I also communicate with spirits across the veil. See the next question.

Who do you connect with on the other side?

During a typical client session, I connect with my spirit guides, their spirit guides, and ONE departed loved one, if doing a mediumship session. (Although, sometimes more than one spirit will try to come through.) I’m currently only focusing on connecting with one loved one per session because when multiple spirits come in at once their messages tend to get crossed. Imagine a room with multiple spirits chatting all at once, it’s a bit distracting when I’m trying to get specific information and validation for my clients. When I’m done communicating the messages for this spirit, I directly channel with the spirit guides, and answer any lingering questions my clients might have at the end.

Does the specific deceased person I want to talk to come through in the session?

Sometimes! From what I’ve observed in my work, most spirits have schedules and visit different family members on different days of the week. Whichever family or friend that is available or destined to come through on behalf of your highest good and wants to connect with me is who I will communicate with. I truly have no control over who comes in. It’s usually whoever can provide you the most healing at that time. Imagine a telephone to your ancestor’s house in heaven, whoever picks up on the other side is who I will chat with. The person you may want to chat with may be out of the house at that moment. I don’t ever summon a spirit, that just wouldn’t be very polite!

Can you communicate with living /deceased pets?

I have connected with pets before! This is not my typical work nor my specialty, but I’d love to work with you and your fur baby. Sometimes, I channel directly with living and deceased pets, it’s a hoot! It’s like I’m stepping into the body of the animal, seeing and feeling from their perspective. Sometimes a crossed over loved one will appear with the animal, showing me they’re safe and their life in heaven. Book with me, and if for any reason I can’t connect with your pet, I won’t charge you!

Spirit Guides vs. Departed Loved Ones - Explain this please.

In general, spirit guides are ascended, exist on a higher plane of existence, and have been assigned to you (for however long) to help you fulfill your purpose in this life. They are supposed to work on behalf of your highest good, and are always with you. You have multiple guides, and some of them may have been human. There are many different types of spirit guides if you want to dive further into that. Over time, you can also gain more guides as well.

Your departed loved ones who once walked this Earth may visit you periodically. Departed loved ones still have opinions and a lot of personality. (Your highest good may not always be in their interest, like a relative at Thanksgiving.) I only work with spirits who come with loving and nurturing messages on behalf of your highest good. FILTERS. They’re important.

I think there is a spirit / ghost in my house, can you tell me who it is?

I can most certainly try to tap in and see what’s going on there. Spirits / ghosts surround us everywhere all the time, and if one has made itself known to you, we can try to figure out why and if it’s familiar or not, etc.

Is mediumship scary?

It was very scary for me in the beginning, but I’m a lot more experienced and enjoy it now. I don’t do mediumship in spaces I can’t control. Mediumship with my clients is energetically like me coming over to your parents house and sipping tea with you and your family after dessert. I have a lot of respect for my clients and their loved ones.

Do negative/dark/evil entities ever come through during your mediumship sessions?

F*ck no. I have 0 tolerance for that. I always work with my spirit guides to create a high vibrational safe and protected space to practice mediumship in. If there is an unwanted entity attached to you, this will become apparent, and we will discuss the steps that need to be taken to handle that.

Can I pay you to do an exorcism on me?

No, that is not my specialty. I can try to refer you to someone who can.
