I've never had a tarot reading and even though I'm curious, I'm nervous. What if I receive information I didn't expect?
It's natural to be nervous for a tarot reading, especially if you've never had one before! Even if you're excited and looking forward to your reading, there can be some nervous anticipation that shows up as 'butterflies'. Prior to every reading, I set an intention that the information I receive for you is for your highest good, and I set up a boundary that nothing can come through other than that. One way to think of the messages you receive are to imagine what it would feel like if you received communication from a loving source that only wants the best for you, like a loving parent or friend. The messages I channel and information I get from the tarot cards are like this, and are here to support you in positive and comforting ways.

How do readings work? Do I ask questions, or will you guide the reading for me?
Some people have concerns about particular situations in their life, so they ask specific questions. When this is the case, I pull cards and channel messages to get as much detailed information as possible about their questions. Other times, people ask me to do their reading without a specific question to see what information comes through without any prompting. For these readings, I recommend working with a timeframe such as the upcoming several weeks, months, or even a year or two into the future. This is so we can know the timeframe for when the information you receive will be relevant. Either type of reading is fine! If you aren't sure, we can talk about it and figure out what you prefer before beginning your reading.

I'm a private person and don't know if I'd be comfortable in a group setting. What is it like to have a tarot reading within a group?
Even if you are a private person, a group reading can be a wonderful experience. Tea + Tarot events are limited to 3 participants per event which creates an intimate environment with the privacy of a small group, while communing with likeminded individuals also in search of answers and greater happiness in their lives. Listening to other's stories brings understanding that no matter how things may look on the outside, no matter how 'put together' someone might seem, we all have hopes and struggles within us. This commonality assures us that we are not alone in the experience of being human, and makes the group experience unique and special. With this said, if you feel more comfortable with a private reading, I offer one-on-one readings and am happy to do one for you! Whatever you feel comfortable with is the right choice for you.

I was raised religiously and/or I'm currently practicing a religion. Will having a tarot reading conflict with my religious beliefs?
This is a personal question, and I encourage people to follow what feels right for them. I can only share my own experience as something to consider in helping you arrive at the best decision for you. I was raised in a Christian household and went to church every Sunday. From an early age I was curious about spirituality, life and death, and questions of the cosmos, so as I got older I studied different belief systems such as Zen, Taoism, Buddhism, and a variety of religions and spiritual beliefs. Although I do not practice any type of organized religion today, I still believe in God + Source, the Holy Spirit, Angels, and many of the teachings of great spiritual masters in history. I invite you to sit with what feels right in your heart when making a decision whether or not to have a reading. Regardless of what others might say to you, when making your decision you will know the right answer when it comes if you follow your heart.

What is clairvoyance, and how do you use this ability to channel messages?
Clairvoyance is an ability I was born with that comes naturally to me. I've studied and fine tuned my abilities with teachers that are masters in this art. My skills as a clairvoyant allow me to perceive matters beyond the range of ordinary perception. I sense communication from light beings of higher realities which exist in the energetic realms. These light beings convey messages and information to me through information 'downloads', words, images, visions, and physical sensations. When I do a tarot reading I combine clairvoyance with my knowledge of of the tarot cards and experience as a reader, to bring messages above and beyond the meanings that the cards convey.

What do you mean when you refer to 'Energy Realms', 'Light Beings', 'Guides', 'The Holy Spirit', and 'God + Source'?
There are beings of light that most people are unaware of who I communicate with. These Light Beings exist in what I call the Energy Realms. The Light Beings that I communicate with are good and pure and want to help us. When I refer to Guides, I am talking about beings that have appeared to me without me searching for them, generally while deep in meditation. My Guides are usually an Archangel or Spiritual Master from history. I also connect with The Holy Spirit, who I sometimes simply refer to as Spirit. Spirit provides a connection with God + Source, which is the purist form of unconditional love. Prior to every reading, even the readings on my YouTube channel, I purify my energy and my space by burning dried sage, then meditate and ask my Angels, Guides, Light Beings, The Holy Spirit, and God + Source to guide the reading.

Why can't I hear the messages meant for me? Why don't I receive this type of communication like you do?
Although we all have the capacity to communicate with the Energy Realms and the beings that exist there, this type of communication is not always immediately available for those who haven’t discovered their own intuitive abilities yet. Reasons for this can be that we were brought up in a belief system that didn't support the notion that we can, each of us, communicate and receive information in these ways. Other blocks can be thinking that this type of communication is reserved only for ancient holy people from the past, or people that hold high positions in religious or spiritual organizations who are 'worthy' of it. We are coming into a time when the veil between worlds is growing thinner, and we're realizing that we each hold the seed of God + Source within us. People are opening up to their intuitive gifts, but many don't understand what's happening, don't know how to utilize their gifts, and may even be fearful of the intuitive experiences they're having. One way to think of the intuitive process of clairvoyance is to imagine being an open vessel for messages from the Energy Realms to flow through. When I receive messages for you, the messages flow in through me from the Energy Realms and out to you into tangible reality, where you can receive information that's intended for your highest good, joy, and wellbeing, that perhaps at this moment in time, for one reason or another, you are not hearing on your own.
