Are you typical of your star sign? If so, how?
I am a Sag on the cusp of a Scorpio. Some would say that makes me complex. I have the strength and fire of the Sag but also have Libran in my chart, which I feel brings in fairness. I am brutally honest and some would say, tact has been an on going issue, but generally, yes I do feel I am true to my star sign.
How long have you been giving readings for?
I have always been psychic and giving a reading started naturally. I was stood at the side of a football pitch watching my son play as a boy and one of the other Mum's had some problems. I literally opened my mouth and my brains spilt out... she then said to me 'you are one of those psychic people aren't you?'... and it went from there. This was over 20 years ago. I gave a lot of free readings initially and then went professional around 17 years ago.
What advice would you give to those customers contemplating their first reading?
Be very open minded. Sometimes how spirit give us information is not how you interpret it. Be open and take all that is given. Do not try to put your own take on it. Things will show in good time. Have a list of questions that you would like answering; you will only be told what you need to know not what you want to know. Research your reader. Have a look at their testimonials and their skill set. Remember if you are going to try to test the reader that will not give you a good reading. The more relaxed the two of you are, the better. Respect should be shown to guides and spirit at all times and if you want something specific you have to also be specific. Make it a two way conversation, it won't alter what the reader says, it may well enhance it. Write your reading down, not all will make sense when you get the reading, but in time it will. Ask questions of your reader if you do not understand something and do not be afraid to speak up. Expect a reader to tell you what they see, not what you want them to see and please do not castigate them if they are not saying what you wish to hear. Be open and give things time to work through.
What do you do for fun outside of psychic readings?
I am very limited as I am not blessed with the best of health. But I read, watch TV, play games to keep the mind active and when the old body allows, I use an exercise bike to keep fit. My children take me for days out as I am limited on mobility and we meet regularly for lunch dates and shopping trips. I have several animals that rule the roost... and don't I know it... but they are lovely and good fun. I am also starting to write a book, if for nothing else than a history for the family. It all keeps me out of trouble.
What prompted you to start giving readings?
On one of my earlier answers I told how it all started, but what made me go professional was a good old universe way of pushing me into it. I ran a brokerage and gave free readings at the time. But then I needed to earn more money to fund my divorce and to ensure my children were not impacted financially. I knew some readers and one of them told me to apply to a certain company and that I would have to wait three months for an answer as the person in charge of the readers was so busy. I called the company on the Monday and the person who I needed to speak to answered the phone. They booked me in on the following day for a test reading and took me on after the test reading immediately. I started that night. Two days later my MD made everyone redundant and then offered me a position doing the same job with a sister company but on much less of a package. There was a typical Universal thing of a choice. I made the choice to go full time professional reader and have never looked back.
What spiritual skills do you have?
My spiritual skills like a lot of readers continue to develop and like a muscle, the more you use them the stronger they get. I am a medium which means I am also psychic. All mediums are psychic not all psychics are mediums. I have all the 'Clairs' and can also hold objects and get information from them. I am a Reiki Master and qualified in Emotional Freedom Technique and Geopathic Stress Cleansing. (Sick building syndrome). I have knowledge of crystals and can do tarot readings and angel card readings, although I prefer not to use them, they are sometimes used as a confirmation of a reading. I also have pendulums but have put them away as they start to swing on their own... rather disconcerting. So I am a psychic/clairvoyant etc/medium.
What tools do you use within your readings?
Normally I do not use tools at all, I work with my guide Argus and any spirit that pops in for a visit. However, I can use Tarot and Angel cards, plus pendulums if requested. I do feel I am far stronger without tools, pure channelling with spirit. Nothing more powerful than that.
What’s your most memorable psychic experience?
I will not give anything away in relation to those I have read for as that is private and confidential. But the one I will give is a very personal one. It was the day of my Mike's funeral. One of my best friends in the whole world told me that I would have three butterflies land on me and that would be a message from Mike that he was still around me. Those that know me, know that Mike was my twin flame and he died at a young age. On the day of his funeral I was stood in my garden, it was a beautiful day; three butterflies came and landed on my heart. Stayed there about fifteen seconds and then flew off.
When did you discover your gifts?
As a young child I was taken to the Dr's as I did not speak. My guide told me to start speaking otherwise they would think I was deaf. So I started to speak. I have always heard my guide and realised at a very young age that I was slightly different to others. I think that others also sensed there was something different about me. As a young child I remember seeing spirit outside my Nan's house, I called my Nan and I know she saw her to. She just gently guided me away from the spirit lady and it was only years later that I learnt my Nan was also gifted. I have always been psychic and as I grew, it became stronger and stronger. It is perfectly normal to me but I learnt as a child not to mention it to others.
Why should a client choose you for their psychic reading?
I am a reader that will give validations in most readings. I also give things called 'markers in time' which are future mini predictions that are totally random. Both the validations and markers are proof of a reading. I never judge, I am purely observational. I can give you knowledge and understanding and coping techniques. I am a good listener if you need to vent or just someone who will listen. But overall I will give you truth; I will never say what you want to hear, I will say what I see as it is in your interests to be honest with you. I also wish to uplift you and show you the pathway forward in a reading, show you that there is always hope and a future. I try to make your readings as upbeat and positive as I can, leaving you at the end of the reading with clarity and hope for the future.
