Reading FAQ

Reading FAQ

Below you’ll find answers to many of the questions clients ask before a reading.
Still have questions?  Send an email!

 

Are you the right reader for me?

I am the kind of reader that ultimately works to give guidance and information that will help my clients make decisions, make changes, and move forward through difficult situations. If you are someone who is looking for help and actionable advice for your situation, then I’m your girl. But if you’re looking for a reader that is either going to tell you what you want to hear, a reader that is going to tell you exactly what to do and what will happen when you do it, or someone that is going to only tell you the happy sunshine and rainbows side of things, then I’m not for you.

 

 

Can you read anyone?

It is rare that I find I am unable to connect to a client. In the event that I feel there is such a blockage that I am unable to read for you at all, I will email you right away to let you know that I cannot complete the reading and I will give you a full refund of your purchase. This is a rare instance and any refunds on a reading are done at my discretion.

 

 

What’s the big difference between an email reading and a Skype reading? Isn’t a reading a reading? Can’t I just save some cash and get an email reading?

A reading isn’t always a reading. Sometimes a reach turns more into a coaching session because we end up having to really dig in deep to work out the kinks.  An email reading is really ideal for someone who have a specific question and specific situation that they need guidance on and that they don’t feel they need a lot of help with figuring how to take action, how to use the info from the reading or how to move on to the next steps.

A phone or Skype reading is a bit different. This is more for someone that isn’t sure what they need help with, someone who have a big, complicated situation that will take a little talking through and for people who are looking for some in-depth help with the taking action part based on the reading. It’s also for people who aren’t sure how they feel about the accuracy of email readings {trust me, they’re damn accurate, but some people just aren’t confident and that’s cool}.

 

 

Can you do a general reading for me? I just want to know what you see.

Yes, we can do a general reading, however I don’t do general readings by email. If you aren’t really sure what you want to address with a reading and you would rather let the cards and Spirit guide the session, we do need to do this over the phone or Skype because interaction here is key. If you really would rather have an email reading, be sure to have a specific question or a specific area of your life for me to address.

Still not sure? Ask yourself these questions:

  • What has been keeping me up at night?
  • What issues or situations am I going to have to deal with in the next few months?
  • What goals or plans have been feeling uncertain lately?
  • What relationships in my life have been stressing me out?

 

How long have you been doing this?

I have been reading for the public for over 15 years though I’ve been working with my psychic and intuitive gifts my whole life. In 1996 I started out with doing online readings in email groups and AOL chat rooms.  Later I went on to creating my own email group and website to offer readings and soon found I had a growing list of regular email reading clients.  Soon I was reading for people all over the world and eventually began doing readings for some of my faithful regulars over voice chat, which eventually led me to offering readings with Skype today.

I also spent time working on psychic lines like Keen, Bitwine, and LivePerson. After several years of doing readings through these services I realized that I really was meant to work with a different type of client.  I enjoy working with people who are looking to use readings and divination to guide them to making positive changes and choices in their lives, not people who just want to hear what they want to hear or who are looking for a reader to tell them exactly what to do in their specific situation.  This isn’t the point of divination!  At the end of the day the decisions that you make when you get up from that reading are your responsibility.

I not only do email readings but I have been reading for people in person in my own office and at shops, parties, and fairs. You can have confidence that in working with me you’re working with someone who has a great deal of experience with clients from all over the world in all sorts of environments and scenarios.

 

 

What is the process of getting a reading?

Once you pay for your reading you’ll be directly to a quick little client intake survey to fill out.  If I’m going to do your reading by email or phone I’ll also ask for a photo of you {if we’re working over Skype I’ll be seeing your pretty face already}. This will get me all the basic info that I need so I can schedule your reading. If we’re doing your reading over phone or Skype you’ll be able to then go and schedule your session.  If I’ll be doing your reading by email, I’ll be in touch, usually in a few hours, to let you know when to expect to see your reading show up to your inbox.

 

 

Why do you need a picture of me? What kind of picture do you need?

As part of the process for me to read for someone long distance it helps greatly for me to connect with someone when they are not sitting in front of me. By having a photo of you, one where your eyes are clearly visible, I’m able to get more of a link to you. The photo that you send should be at least 300×300 pixels in size and should be one where your eyes are clearly visible (no hats or glasses). The picture can be older or it can be recent; your eyes, “the windows on the soul”, don’t change so if you only have a picture of you from years ago, that’s fine! While I can work without a photo, it does help, so I do ask my clients to provide one the first time I do a reading for them (your photo is then kept in your client file so you don’t have send one every time you get a reading).

 

 

Why do you need to know things about my situation for the reading?

Some readers will tell you that they don’t need to know anything about why you want your reading or what you want your reading about; they may tell you they’ll just give you what Spirit feels you need to know. Others may tell you they can tell you everything about you. In either case I feel there’s some deception going on. I don’t know everything about you, nor should I! Knowing what’s going on in your situation, just the basics and the players, helps me to get a feel for what’s going on.

I’m also not the kind of reading that’s going to say “So there is someone with an M name around you…Mike, Mark, Marty…does that make sense for you?” My readings are practical and meant to help you with making decisions, choosing a direction in life, getting over blockages, and healing. While I can read any situation it’s important to understand that the type of information I’ll present to you is the kind of information that will require you to take responsibility for your outcome.

 

 

How is a reading done by email accurate?

Through both the use of the photo that you send to me and by connecting to your Higher Self I’m able to gather the information that you need from your question and for your reading. I work very closely with the tool and with the Divine which gives readings that I truly believe are sacred and from both the Divine and our Higher Selves. I don’t claim to have a solid, scientific answer as to how readings work like they, I just know they do.

 

 

How long will it take to get my reading?

Once you have purchased and paid for your reading and sent in your client survey and photo I will email you within 24 hours to acknowledge your purchase and let you know when you’ll receive your reading…or confirm our phone or Skype session. All my readings, including ones done by email, are scheduled. Email readings typically will be in your hands in 3 business days but if my schedule is packed it could be up to 5 business days. Please keep in mind that I do not work on the weekends; like everyone else I need a little time off too.

 

 

How will I receive my reading?

Your email reading will come to as a pretty PDF with pictures of the cards and all the details you need about your reading.   You’re basically getting a personalized ebook with your reading and all the advice, action steps, and need-to-know info that comes through.  It will come as an attachment to your email, so if you don’t see it when it should be there be sure to check your junk folder.

Phone and Skype sessions get an MP3 recording of the session along with post-session notes. These will come to you as links within 24 hours of your session.

 

 

What if I have questions about my reading after I receive it?

Once you have received your reading, should you have any questions or feel that you need something clarified, you can email me and I’ll be happy to help. Your questions should pertain to the reading and itself and not be additional questions that you would like read. If you find that you have more questions that you would like cards pulled for, please honor the process by purchasing a new reading.

 

 

Why do you charge for readings, coaching and healing sessions?

There needs to be an exchange of energy during the process readings and healing work. In this day and age the thing that we hold with high value and that has a great deal of energy attached to it is money. When you pay for a reading, coaching, or other healing work there is a level of value on it. In my experience, and in the experience of many other’s who offer similar services, when someone pays for it they give it more meaning, more value, and take it more seriously. By paying for your services you give more value to yourself and it helps to honor and sustain my ability to do what I do.

 

 

Can you do a free session for me?

Sorry, sweetness, but no. There are many online services that offer free automated readings if it’s a reading you’re looking for.  In order to really ensure that my work is honored and you are receiving fully what is being given there needs to be an exchange of energy and in today’s world we do that with money.  When the time is right the money will come to fulfill your need.

Jess is a great teacher, as well as an insightful reading and a wonderful healer. Her lessons are informative and easy to understand. Her cards speak to her in a way that I hope mine will to me one day. I have also had a Chakra session and a Reiki session with her and afterward I felt at peace, balanced, and whole again (I was quite sick at the time). I trust very few people, and I follow my path alone, but I trust Jess. She’s a beautiful spirit.

When I started coaching with Jess I thought I was coming to her for help with a breakup and an unexpected and sudden international move. It turned out that wasn't the real issue at all! Jess asked questions I never would have thought to ask myself and gave me a whole new perspective on what was going on in my life. She made me feel like what I want matters. By the time we were done I felt like I could take on the world!

OMG I'm blown away by the accuracy of the reading. Jess has a special gift. What she revealed to me, opened me up to a place I knew I should be at but was holding myself back from.

I was so overwhelmed trying to get back into my witchcraft practice, but Jess helped me create an actual plan and a schedule for doing the work. The results in just two months has been far beyond my expectations. I'm in touch with my power like never before!
