Tarot cards are my trusted deck of 78 cards, which I use for divination and gaining insights into different aspects of life. Each card holds symbolic imagery and meanings that I interpret to provide guidance and understanding. When I perform a Tarot reading (if I feel called to use them or they are requested in a reading with me), I use the cards as a tool to tap into my intuition and connect with the energies surrounding you. I shuffle the deck while focusing on your question or situation, and then draw specific cards based on their position in a spread. As I analyze the symbolism, patterns, and relationships between the cards, I interpret their meanings to deliver insights, potential outcomes, and advice that can help you gain clarity and make informed decisions. My readings are a unique blend of my intuition, deep knowledge of Tarot symbolism, and my understanding of human experiences.

Psychic: A psychic is a person who possesses extrasensory perception (ESP) or the ability to tap into information beyond the normal human senses. Psychics may use various methods such as clairvoyance (seeing), clairaudience (hearing), clairsentience (feeling), or other intuitive senses to gain insights into a person's past, present, or potential future events. Medium: A medium is an individual who has the ability to communicate or connect with spirits of the deceased or entities from the spiritual realm. They act as intermediaries between the living and the spirit world, relaying messages from departed loved ones or providing insights from spiritual beings. Mediums use their heightened perception to receive and interpret messages, offering comfort and closure to those seeking to connect with the other side. Mediums are called mediums because in order for a human and a spirit to communicate, a human has to raise their vibration and a spirit has to lower their vibration.. so they meet in the MIDDLE! Psychic Medium:​​ This term, in my opinion and experience, is for mediums who connect to spirits in a psychic way. Mediums normally physically see the spirit in the room with them and psychic mediums connect with the being in their mind’s eye or third eye. Psychic mediums connect to the human these souls once were, either by seeing the actual person in their mind’s eye or speaking to them through images and physical sensations. Remember, all mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums! This term is ALSO an umbrella term used by spiritual mentors, meaning they are basic psychics but also are mediums. There are many different types of mediumship- trance, evidential, physical, etc- and I go in and out of all of them!

Every Psychic Mediumship Reading with me is a deeply intuitive, spirit-led experience designed to bring clarity, validation, healing insight, energetic support, and meaningful spiritual connection. Depending on what naturally comes through, your reading may include psychic insight, evidential mediumship communication, intuitive channeling, energetic guidance, messages from Spirit, and Tarot support when relevant. Some clients come with specific questions around love, relationships, life direction, healing, spiritual awakening, career, or personal growth. Others come simply open to whatever Spirit most wants to communicate. No two readings are ever exactly alike, because intuitive work is sacred, collaborative, and uniquely tailored to your energy in that moment. At the beginning of our session, we’ll briefly connect about what brought you here and what you’re hoping to receive clarity or support around. If there is a specific passed loved one you’d like to connect with, you’re absolutely welcome to share their name and relationship to you. If not, that is completely okay too. Some clients come specifically for mediumship connection, while others prefer a broader intuitive reading, and both are beautiful. If spirit communication is naturally aligned, I’ll invite in whoever is most appropriate to connect, whether that’s a passed loved one, spiritual guidance, or intuitive energetic insight that serves your highest good. Throughout the reading, I’ll openly share what I see, hear, feel, sense, or intuitively receive in real time so the experience feels collaborative, validating, and transparent. All virtual readings are recorded and sent to you afterward, so you can revisit messages, reflect more deeply, and catch insights that may land differently over time. You do not need to prepare the “perfect” questions or know exactly what’s going to happen- Spirit often works beautifully in unexpected ways. That said, if you do have specific questions, intentions, or areas of life you’d like clarity around, you’re absolutely welcome to bring them with you. Some people come with a full list, others come completely open. Both are equally welcome. The biggest thing I ask is that you arrive in a space with minimal distractions, stable internet (for virtual sessions), an open mind, and a willingness to receive whatever unfolds. Having water nearby, taking a few grounding breaths beforehand, and bringing something to jot down thoughts can be supportive- but remember, your session will be recorded, so you don’t need to worry about capturing everything in the moment. Most importantly: come as you are. No pressure. No performance. Just openness.

Honestly, I have connected to dead people that have passed away only a week before a reading and I've connected to dead people that have passed as long as 40 years before a reading. In my experience, it doesn’t matter. I would say, to be extra safe and respectful, wait at least two weeks after a death to try and contact your passed away loved one through a psychic medium! Either way, in my practice, spirits have the option to just not show up anyway! If that happens in a reading and the whole point of you booking a mediumship reading with me was to talk to that specific person only, and you're not open to any other spirit or connecting to your guides or with cards instead, then I will refund you fully! :)

Yes, in my experience as a psychic medium, spirits can come through and speak different languages and there can be a language barrier. For example, I have spoken a few times to a client of mine’s uncle who was a Spanish speaking individual and it was basically like playing charades with him! He would say Spanish words but since I don't know Spanish fluently, he would have to act out what he was trying to say instead! Messages will always be relayed to my sitter (the person I’m giving a reading to) in the most accurate and clear way possible, and if there is a language barrier, the spirit and I will do our best to relay those messages!

Yes! If you would like someone to listen in on your reading with me, for moral support or something, invite them on in… just keep in mind, with a tarot reading, I am only reading the person who paid!! In a psychic mediumship reading, for example, if you both were related to or friends with the dead person I am speaking to, I will talk to the dead person on behalf of both of you and whatever messages come from the spirit for either of you, I will happily relay those too!

That’s okay! No judgment here, I totally understand being nervous! Even being a reader myself, I get super nervous when I book a reading!! My advice to you is to remind yourself that I am human too… I am not an all-knowing being, ready to tell you when you’re going to die or something crazy! We are just two humans, talking through a spiritual tool. Take a deep, long breath, know you are safe, and be open to whatever guidance comes through for your highest good.

Yes! I believe intuition is a muscle, everyone has one!! Whether you decide to tap into this intuition of yours, to therefore grow your psychic abilities, is up to you. Your intuition will never leave you, it can grow stronger or weaker, but it’s up to you whether you want to learn how to use it or not, and everyone has that option!

In my experience, I have never had a spirit tell me what the other side looks like. I have had a few spirits in a reading describe what the other side FEELS like… light, freeing, peaceful, at-home, etc. In my practice, when spirits come through, they come through in my “Connection Room.” My Connection Room is a space I open up in my mind during a reading that is like a big black, blank room that a spirit pops up in. So, I don’t necessarily see the true, “other side” or “heaven", I see what my mind allows me to see. I’ve never asked a spirit what the other side looks like, honestly because it feels wrong and I’m a little scared of what they’ll show me.. I’d rather live in blissful ignorance, at least for right now. :)

Mediumship communication is always Spirit-led, which means I cannot ethically guarantee that a specific loved one will come through in a particular reading. That said, if spirit communication is aligned and naturally present, I absolutely allow space for those connections. Sometimes spirits come through to literally tell me they're not ready to talk or don't want to, and that means nothing about you or me, it just is. My intention is always to create an open, grounded, respectful container for whatever is most supportive for your highest good.

These private 1:1 mentorship sessions I created for spiritual seekers, developing practitioners, intuitives, and curious souls wanting direct guidance, teaching, and support. Common topics include: ✨ Tarot learning ✨ psychic development ✨ mediumship confidence ✨ intuition strengthening ✨ witchcraft guidance ✨ spiritual awakening support ✨ reader ethics + boundaries ✨ spiritual business mentorship ✨ confidence in your gifts ✨ and anything else you might want to pick my brain about that doesn't fall under the category of psychic guidance Think of this less like a reading and more like having direct private access to my experience, teaching, and guidance in a personalized container. Although my psychic abilities do come out in every day conversations and I'm sure they will in these sessions too, I really wanted to create these sessions for people who want to grow their skills and knowledge.

These are some of my most unique all-in-one offerings, blending Reiki energy healing, witchcraft ritual magick, and psychic intuitive guidance into one personalized energetic experience. Each candle acts as an energetic representation of you while I perform intentional ritual work on your behalf, tune into your energy, infuse Reiki healing, and channel any spirit-led messages that naturally arise. Depending on the offering, these rituals may support: ✨ abundance / prosperity ✨ emotional healing ✨ energetic protection ✨ grounding + nervous system healing ✨ heart healing + love ✨ cord cutting + energetic release ✨ manifestation support ✨ power reclamation You’ll receive ritual photos, a personalized PDF report, intuitive energetic insights, and integration guidance afterward. I wanted an offering that blends my witchcraft expertise, my Reiki energy healing skills, and psychic abilities so you can walk away from this experience feeling clear, guided, and deeply healed- so I created these and they are so exciting to execute! Do I receive a physical candle? No. All Reiki Infused Candle Readings are remote energetic offerings, meaning the ritual work is performed on your behalf and no physical product is shipped. Instead, you receive the energetic work itself, ritual photos, intuitive insight, and your personalized PDF report.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique developed in the 1920s by Mikao Usui. The word translates to "universal life force energy": Rei means "universal" or "spiritual," and Ki means "life energy". Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energetic healing modality that supports emotional regulation, energetic clearing, nervous system balance, grounding, healing, and greater mind-body-spirit alignment. As a certified Reiki practitioner, I intentionally weave Reiki energy into my ritual offerings as a supportive energetic healing layer. Reiki is designed to encourage energetic flow and emotional support- not replace medical care.

“Spirit-led” simply refers to intuitive downloads, energetic impressions, symbolic messages, psychic insight, or spiritual guidance that naturally come through while I’m working with your energy. These messages are never scripted or forced- they arise organically through the intuitive process. And most importantly, I execute readings under a "Spirit-led" "rule" because I respect Spirit. Passed away humans, energetic beings, mine or your higher self, or whoever I'm connecting to doesn't need me to tell them what to say or provide or do- so I let them lead (with my own boundaries of course)!

No ethical spiritual practitioner can guarantee a specific outcome. Ritual work is designed to support energetic alignment, movement, healing, and intention- but your choices, real-world actions, and life circumstances still matter deeply. Energetic work is most powerful when paired with aligned action.

Pet Tarot Readings are personalized intuitive PDF readings designed to help you better understand your beloved pet’s emotional world, energetic state, behavioral themes, and potential messages. Every living (or once living) being has an energetic body or soul, so I connect to your pets' energy to give you guidance and messages from them in a way you can understand! These approximately 3-page readings may offer insight into: ✨ emotional needs ✨ energetic imbalances ✨ transitions or stressors ✨ your connection with them ✨ intuitive messages they may wish to communicate You’ll simply provide your pet’s name, photo, and any questions or concerns you’d like intuitive clarity around. Delivery is within 2-3 business days.
