Services

After gaining confidence practicing with friends from my on-line community, I began doing psychic readings for CompuServe (remember CompuServe!?) via e-mail in 1997.  Soon, I was writing to over ten people each week, with an astonishing accuracy rate.  Over time, I  began reading for people over the telephone, and not surprisingly, was able to provide even more accurate and in-depth insight for people.  As I developed trust and gained experience in utilizing my intuitive abilities, I found that I no longer needed to rely on the tarot cards I previously used.

Most of my readings are done over the telephone or by email.  I have no need to meet a person to be able to see them and provide an in-depth reading, although it seems to help if I am given the birth date and location of the person.  I like to incorporate elements of numerology and astrology into my readings.

Psychic/intuitive readings typically last around an hour, sometimes longer.  Once we have arranged an appointment time, I begin tuning into you and your situation or primary concern(s).  Much of the information I obtain about my clients comes to me through dreams and images that seem to flow to me in the days just preceding the reading.  As a result, I do not make same-day appointments.  I like to begin readings by sharing any impressions I have received since we set up the appointment, then I will answer  questions and we’ll have a conversation where I hope to provide you with insight and guidance that will be of assistance.  Often, my clients find that I have gotten “to the heart of the matter” even before their questions were asked.  Fees are $50 per reading, payable via check prior to the reading or via Paypal.

Some clients prefer ongoing counseling, in person or over the telephone. I have a master’s degree in clinical psychology, many years of experience as a child and family counselor, and I studied depth hypnosis with Isa Gucciardi, PhD, (Foundation of the Sacred Stream) a practice which beautifully combines philosophies of shamanism, energy medicine, Buddhism and traditional hypnotherapy.  I am now a Certified Hypnotherapist practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area.    This practice  augments and compliments my psychic work.  Hypnotherapy allows me to facilitate a process whereby my clients can tap into their own inner knowing and “unseen realms” to experience transformation and healing. Hypnotherapy sessions are especially useful for helping people to move past self-sabotaging behaviors and negative patterns (in relationships, for example). Hypnotherapy sessions are usually held in clients’ homes (or on the phone if distance requires), and last 1-2 hours per sessions. Because of the depth and length of these sessions, provided in your home, rates are $125 per session.

Email readings are $10 per question, and you will receive an email response within 72 hours of receiving your check or Paypal payment. It helps to have your full name and date of birth.

I also hold talking circles in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. I can bring my work to you in your community (community centers, private homes, or co-housing common houses are great spaces for gathering people to come together for healing and support. Talking circles can be time-limited (for example, 6-8 sessions with a closed membership) or ongoing (weekly or monthly), on a drop-in basis. I generally charge $20 per session, which lasts 90 minutes. If you are interested in developing a talking circle around a specific topic or group (such as parents with mentally ill children, or grief and loss, or recovery from sexual abuse) we can utilize relevant topics. Please contact me to inquire how we can customize a talking circle for you/your community, or to find out my current Talking Circle schedule.

More on Talking Circles: A PLACE FOR PEACE, HARMONY AND REFLECTION

The Talking Circle is a traditional instrument for dealing with issues that interfere with the normal everyday concerns of a person or their community, whether the concern is trivial or serious in nature. The Circle may be applied safely and confidentially to resolve conflicts, misconceptions, disagreements or deeper problems.

A Talking Circle is a place of comfort, wisdom, security and redress. It is a sacred place that is directed by a Circle leader, a mentor or a person attached to the spirit realm who intervenes and directs the flow of collective energies in the Circle.

The Talking Circle consists of up to 15 people, gathered together in a circular formation to share ideas, hopes, dreams, cares and energies in sacred connection with one another. Sessions flow as follows: After a brief check-in by each participant, we develop a topic for our “journeys”. Everyone then lays down (or otherwise gets comfortable), and I guide the journey by drumming for approximately 15 minutes, while participants seek understanding or clarity by connecting with their higher selves, God, the “universe”, their guides or angels, or whatever source of higher wisdom they prefer. Following our journeys, we come back to Circle and pass a talking stick so that people may share any insights they gained, if so desired.

The circle is a place where individuals come to seek help, support, healing and understanding for any particular discomfort or instability they may have, or has been with them for some time. The Circle creates a protective shield of honesty, trust and comfort. Material shared in the Circle is private, personal and confidential. As a general rule therefore, all material heard in the Circle stays in the Circle.
