Money Saving Ideas:
If you get a recording of the reading, you can listen to it once or multiple times over a period of days or weeks. This can help you to get more out of it, as if you are getting multiple readings for the price of one. It is only one reading, but there is so much covered in one reading, that if you hear the recording later you will likely get something new from it.

Try a couple's reading. If you and your spouse, or you and a close friend both want readings, you could consider a couple's reading, where you both are read within the same hour or 1.5 hour appointment. I could read both you and your spouse in one reading for the same rate as the individual rate. This must be an actual couple's reading, where I am communicating with you both for the hour or 1.5 hour, and cannot be split into two tiny individual readings.

Watch stress-related spending. Often people spend a lot of money that they don't really have to, just to try to feel better. Often these items or activities cost as much or more than a reading which could address your stress issues more directly.

When can I get a reading?
Appointments are available for Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. All readings are scheduled at least one day in advance and often a week in advance, so you do need to plan ahead. Call or email me to schedule. If you are outside of the continental U.S., please email me for scheduling. I am located in Chicago so the following standard reading times are stated in CST. The morning time is for phone readings only, and the other appointment times can be phone or in-person.
10am phone reading only; 1pm, 4pm, 7pm CST

What do I say if I email you to schedule my first reading?
If you are emailing me for the first time, and have thoroughly read this website or at least the Introduction & Definitions page, it would help me if you mentioned that and said that you know I do not read the future. Many people simply see the word "psychic" and 5 star ratings on yelp, and are not aware of what I do and do not do, in which case I begin a careful discussion to make sure we are a good match for one another. I help people with their personal growth/personal development issues and read energy in the present and the past. I do NOT do any prediction work, do NOT read the future, and do NOT do entertainment readings. Thanks very much for taking the time to read this website.

When is payment due?
In-Person clients pay in full at the end of the session with cash or personal check.
Distance or Phone Reading clients need to pay at least one day before the reading using PayPal. For your convenience I have created custom links to PayPal.com on my Online Payments page. All my phone reading clients need to pay by the day before the reading at the latest, even people I have been reading for years. I have found that it helps to ground the energy of the phone reading, and to ground the intention and commitment of the client, leading to a more fruitful, empowering reading.

Can you record my reading for me?
Yes I can make and provide you with a recording of your reading, if you let me know ahead of time. The most popular type of recording, a digital recording that is downloadable from a secure webpage onto your computer, is available at no additional charge. That is by far the most popular option, is both PC and Mac friendly, and also the most eco-friendly option, as it does not use any plastic. The other two types of recordings are on a CD, or a cassette tape. I no longer charge anything extra for a tape or CD, and will mail it for no charge to anywhere in the U.S.

Is there any fine print?
Yes. I do NOT give reminder calls or emails right before the appointment, so I leave it to you to remind yourself of your reading day and time. In the rare event of a no-show no-call, I charge a $40 courtesy fee. This is where the client does not arrive or does not call/answer for their appointment and they have not called in advance to cancel or reschedule. If you do change your mind and need to cancel, please let me know as soon as possible.

Reading Gift Certificates:
What do you give your creative, sincere friend who has given you so much? How about a reading gift certificate! You can buy a reading gift certificate for your friend, partner, spouse, relative, and even your coworker. Gift certificate pricing is the same as for regular readings, shown at the top of this page. If you would like to buy a gift certificate for someone just contact me. You tell me the person's full name and pay me, then the lucky person contacts me directly for scheduling. If I have not read this lucky friend before, then you get to use the new client discount when you pay for their reading.
