Questions About Sessions and Logistics
It is common and very natural to have questions about what a session might be like, how it works, and what can happen.
Below are answers to many questions and concerns folks have or wonder about. It’s not everything, of course, so if you still need more answers, just drop a note.

Choosing the Right Session
Who is this for?
- This is for thoughtful, capable people who are looking for clarity, guidance, and support — especially during life transitions, relationship questions, career shifts, grief, or moments when something inside no longer feels settled.
- Many of my clients are used to being the strong one. They lead, support, decide, and keep things moving for others, but privately they may feel stuck, uncertain, disconnected, or unsure what their own inner knowing is trying to tell them.
- You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from a session. You just need to be open to honest insight, grounded guidance, and a deeper look at what is asking for your attention.
What is the difference between a Mediumship and Psychic Reading?
- A psychic session focuses on you — your energy, choices, patterns, relationships, work, life direction, and the questions you are carrying. Spirit guides may be part of the session, but the focus is your life and what may help you move forward with more clarity.
- A mediumship session focuses on connection with loved ones in spirit, ancestors, and sometimes guides. The purpose is often comfort, healing, understanding, and support. These sessions can bring through love, perspective, unfinished messages, or guidance connected to your life now.
- Both types of sessions can provide clarity and healing. The best choice depends on what you are seeking.
What if I don’t know exactly what I need, or what to ask?
- You do not need to have it figured out, or have the right words, before you get here. We can start with whatever is actually true right now, and let the session bring your answers into focus.
- If you do want to bring a question, open-ended ones tend to work best. Instead of “Will I leave my job?” try “What do I need to understand about my work situation right now?” — that shift from a verdict to a landscape tends to open up far more. I go deeper on this in What Not to Ask a Psychic (and What to Ask Instead).
How much time should I book?
- A 30-minute session works well if you have one or two focused questions, or if you are mostly curious and want a shorter check-in.
- A 60-minute session is usually better if you are navigating something more layered — a relationship concern, career decision, life transition, grief, or a situation where you do not yet know exactly what you need to ask.
- If you are carrying something that feels especially complex or emotionally heavy, more time allows us to move more carefully and give the session room to unfold.
How A Session Works
What can I do to prepare for a session?
- You do not need to do anything elaborate.
- Take a few quiet minutes before we begin, breathe, and think about what you most want support with. Writing down your questions ahead of time helps — and open-ended ones (what, why, how) tend to open up more for you than a yes-or-no ever could. If you are hoping to connect with a loved one in spirit, spending a little time with them beforehand — a photo, a memory, simply holding them in mind — can help too.
- Most of all, come as you are. You do not need to have everything figured out before we begin — often the most useful part of the session is what you were not expecting.
What if something you share doesn’t make sense to me?
- Please say so.
- Information often can arrive in fragments — a phrase, an image, a detail that seems unrelated at first. Sometimes it lands right away. Other times it will not make sense until later, once it connects to something you did not have yet — I have had clients confirm something weeks after a session that meant nothing to them in the moment. Writing it down, even when it feels off, is worth doing for that reason.
- But if something feels confusing, unclear, or just is not landing, tell me in the moment rather than waiting. This is not about performing or pretending — it is a conversation, and your participation is part of what makes the session useful. If nothing at all is resonating, we can approach it differently rather than push forward on a thread that is not connecting.
Can you guarantee that everything you tell me is accurate?
- No, and I would not want to promise you that it is.
- What comes through is real, but it still passes through me — through my interpretation of an image, a phrase, a feeling. That is a human filter, not a printout. Sometimes a detail is exact. Sometimes it is close, and the exact shape of it becomes clear later. I will always tell you what I actually received, without dressing it up to sound more certain than it is.
- What matters most is not whether every detail is perfect. It is whether what comes through resonates and helps you see your situation, or yourself, more clearly than you did before.
Do I need to believe in this for it to help me?
- No. Skepticism is not a problem here; it is a reasonable position, and I would rather work with it than ask you to set it aside. You do not need to believe in psychic ability, energy, or Spirit for a session to be useful to you.
- I spent three decades in corporate finance before doing this work full time, so I understand the instinct to want evidence before trust. Bring that instinct into the session. Ask questions, push back if something does not land, but also stay open to the chance it may make more sense later.
- What I ask is that you do stay open enough to hear what comes through — what you decide to do after hearing it is always your choice.
What I Will (and Won't) Do
Is my session confidential?
- Yes. What you share in a session stays private between us.
- People often bring sensitive things into this work — relationships, grief, family concerns, career decisions, spiritual experiences, things they have never said out loud anywhere else. This is a safe place for all of it.
What if I’m not ready to talk about certain things?
- This reading is for and about you, so if something feels too raw or too private, just say so — we can skip it, or come back to it another time.
- Whatever you do share, know this: my role is to observe, not to judge. I say this to clients often — this is not judgment, it’s observation. You do not need to bring the tidy version of your situation. You can bring all of you just as you are.
Are there questions you won’t answer?
- Yes. I don’t answer questions about other people’s private lives — a coworker’s relationship, a friend’s health, that kind of thing. I can look at how you are interacting with the people important to you, like a spouse or child, since that is genuinely part of your life. But the reading stays about you, not a window into someone else’s.
- I also won’t give lottery numbers, though not for lack of trying, on your part or mine.
- Of course, whatever we discuss also stays confidential, always.
Is this therapy or coaching?
- No. A session with me is not therapy, medical treatment, legal advice, or financial advising, and it is not formal coaching either.
- It can be deeply supportive, clarifying, and even healing — but it does not replace professional care when that is what you actually need. If something comes up that is better handled by a therapist, doctor, attorney, or other licensed professional, I will say so.
- My role is simpler: intuitive insight and a grounded perspective, so you can understand what is happening and see your own way forward more clearly.
Scheduling & Logistics
Do you offer sessions by phone, Zoom, or in person?
- Yes, I offer both phone and Zoom. You are welcome to pick whichever feels more comfortable. If you are local to the Minneapolis area, in-person sessions are available, too.
- Distance does not change how the connection works. Think of it less like a physical link and more like a radio signal — it is not carried by proximity, so it is not weakened by it either. Whether we are on the phone or on Zoom, the connection comes through the same way.
- If you would like the visual, face-to-face feel, Zoom lets us see each other during the session. If you would rather keep it simple, phone works just as well.
What if I don’t know how to use Zoom?
- Zoom works on nearly any computer, tablet, or phone, and you do not need an account to join. If you haven’t used it before, allow about five minutes for it to download and set up on your device.
- If you would like to make sure it’s working beforehand, Zoom offers a free, secure test meeting at zoom.us/test.
- After that, it is simple: click the link you get in the meeting invite, and turn on your camera using the small camera icon at the bottom of the Zoom window.
Do you work with clients outside the United States?
- Yes. I work with clients around the world, and I am happy to work across time zones to find something that fits your schedule. Wherever you are, the connection works the same way.
Can I record the session?
- Recording is welcome. Clients often appreciate having the recording, because details can land differently later. Sometimes what seems small in the moment becomes more meaningful after you have had time to sit with it.
- When you schedule a Zoom session, I automatically include a recording for you afterward.
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
- Life happens, and I keep this simple. If you cancel with at least 48 hours’ notice, you will receive a full refund. With shorter notice, I will normally offer an alternate time, or in some cases a partial refund — I look at each situation individually rather than applying a rigid rule.
- If I ever need to cancel on my end due to illness or something unforeseen, you will always be offered a new time or a full refund.
- Full details are on the Terms and Privacy page.
