Advisor Interview
I balance compassion and directness. I may not always tell you what you want to hear, but I will always tell you what you need to hear. You ask the questions, spirit gives the answers, I am the messenger.
How and when did you first find out about your “psychic abilities”
I have had experiences since I was 5 years old when my deceased grandfather visited me. My family shut that down quickly so I never talked about them or paid much attention to my abilities. I just took for granted that I often knew things that I had no reason to know, maybe I assumed everyone did. I also have always had what I called an ‘electricity malfunction’, lightbulbs pop around me, watches won’t work, and small appliances short out. In my early twenties I picked up my first deck of Tarot cards and found that I was remarkably accurate when I read for friends, and for myself. I learned to pay attention to my claircognizance and sensitivity to the energy of people and places.
How was it growing up with these special skills (as a child, preteen, etc.)? / Are they natural talents or did you study and develop them?
Because I have always had these abilities, whether I recognized it or not, it was perfectly normal for me. In my twenties I began studying and developing them further, something I continue to do today.
Do you think anyone can develop psychic skills?
I believe that all humans have intuition, it is strong in children and then we learn to ignore it. Anyone can develop that and find other gifts they may have, but everyone has different abilities and you can’t force something you don’t have. It’s a matter of finding yours and working to develop it.
What type of mentality/mind set do you think it takes to develop these skills?
Curiosity, openness, and the ability to be somewhat pragmatic.
Are you able to turn your psychic abilities "on" or "off" when you want to? Do you have any rituals to turn them "on".
They are always ‘on’ because that is just how my mind works, but I can tune out when I need to. I don’t read on people without their express permission so this is a necessary skill for me. To tune in I simply ground and breath, and listen to the messages.
How did you start doing psychic readings? (Since when have you been doing them?)
I started doing them for friends, then joined some groups where we traded readings. From there I began reading professionally. I have been reading for over 30 years. It’s not something I do, it’s who I am!
What happens during a psychic reading?
Often I get a rush of information that I have to sort out and put into words that make sense to my client. Sometimes a particular word comes up in my mind or I ‘hear’ it in my mind’s ear, and I get mental visual images. Messages for clients come into the right ear and side, messages for me come into the left. The Tarot cards allow me to tell the story I am getting in a cohesive and logical stream.
What is your primary tool for divination? / What is your specialty?
My primary tool is Tarot as I am a very visual person, when needed I use oracle cards and a pendulum for clarification. My specialty is reading the current energy around a person (or situation) and how they can use, or shift, that energy going forward to get the results they want. I am able to ‘see’ the energy from a soul level, not just what is presented to the world, so sometimes the answers are not what they want to hear, but it is always what they need to know. I leave clients feeling validated, empowered, and always with hope and optimism.
Can you communicate with spirits who have passed on?
I do, but not ‘on demand’. If they have something to tell me they will, and I am open to them. Often I get those messages and pass them on without knowing who it is, the client knows who it is from!
Is there anything else you'd like to share about your abilities or a good experience?
I am an energy worker. I answer the questions you have with messages from Spirit. I help you find the inner peace and confidence that has always been there, sometimes we need some help to get reacquainted with it. I want everyone to live their best life every day!
