How to Prepare for a Private Reading

What should I do before a reading?

After you’ve scheduled your reading, you don’t have to do that much! The beauty of the Universe is that whatever is needed will be provided. However, there are a few things you can do to maximize the benefit of our time together.

Before your session, you can reflect:

  • What are some questions you have for the Universe?

  • Who are you hoping to connect with?

  • Where are you stuck in your life and needing guidance?

Getting clear on your intentions prior to the reading can help the energy. Keep in mind, however, that the Universe is not going to tell you things that will not truly help your Soul’s journey of growth and evolution. You won’t get the lottery ticket numbers. Instead, expect surprising, validating, and affirming insights that deepen your feelings of connection to the Universe.

What should you expect during the reading?

I’ll start the session by greeting you, and will then offer a brief explanation of the way I work. I will instruct you to keep your responses to a minimum, especially during the beginning of the reading. This helps me connect purely to your energy, and not to the responses or information you have shared.

In a private reading, I set the intention to blend my consciousness with the energy of your Soul, your loved ones in Spirit, and the Collective Spirit, to meet your highest need. Rather than guide the session, I surrender my control and allow the Universe to guide it. Whatever is revealed will unfold a story, a metaphor, or a teaching that is here to bring you more love, more inspiration, and more healing.

In my work I have discovered that what we need can often be different from what we want, but that ultimately if we allow the Soul to guide us to what we need, we will experience greater growth and greater healing and release.

I invite you to be open to how the reading needs to unfold. It could be purely intuitive/psychic, with communication from your Soul. It could be purely mediumistic, with communication from your loved ones and guides. It could be information from a guide or the collective. Or it could be a blend of any or all.

What should you expect after a reading?

It is common to feel sensitive after a reading. You will likely want some time by yourself to process the information you’ve received. You may find that you want to discuss and process with a trusted friend. You may want to write. Give yourself time to process in the way that works best for you.


A private reading can be extremely healing, and may connect you to your own intuition. After my first mediumship reading, I began to connect to my own intuitive senses. This was surprising, beautiful, and at times unnerving. You may find yourself drawn to spirituality and a yearning to discover your Soul’s purpose. Listen to the stirrings of your Soul, and know that ultimately, you are an intuitive being and you have the power to connect directly to Spirit. Your Soul will guide the way.
