Some more information on my perspective and approach to this work?

I like to use spiritual concepts, tools and teachings to explore our availability to our realities. To explore what we may need to build trust in more and to safely uncover the things often hidden, avoided, manipulated and shunned in both “spiritual” and “non-spiritual” spaces. Questioning everything through a grounded and compassionate lens is at the center of how I practice, so re-evaluating long-standing personal beliefs and cultural narratives is a regular part of my work.

To me, spiritual practice is not about perfect peace and “cleanliness.” It is in full allowance of what is within you and around you - and in developing a deep presence and respect for that. I am mindful of restrictive and punishing conditioning that often comes with spiritual practice/language, as well as how often these tools can be used to further solidify elitism and avoidance of what really lives under the surface.

I believe in this work mirroring the spectrum of human experience, so there’s just as much room for light-heartedness, humor and play as there is for seriousness and depth.

How do I hold space in a session?

Remembering the vastness in our range of personal experiences, even when there is so much overlap in our lives, is a source of great intrigue for me. I have a lot of compassionate curiosity about our differences, and I also don’t resist the natural discomfort and uncertainty that can arise in sitting with tender questions and subject matter.

The nature of this work is boundless and open and it offers space to explore emotional truths and questions about our lives and our identities that we might have never had availability and support for before.

I will never be an expert on anyone’s experience but mine - I will never pretend to know or understand things that I cannot possibly know. Even though I am committed to being present for and learning about others’ experiences, I will never override anyones depth of knowing within themselves about who they are and what they need. It’s with all of this in mind that I will hold a stable and gentle space for you to explore what you need at the pacing and depth you are ready for. I will be an attuned mirror of likeness or contrast to help you understand yourself, your dynamics and your relationship to the world more.

I understand how vulnerable this work can be. Opening up these complex and vulnerable questions and experiences with a stranger can be daunting. Know that I will be open to the dialogue needed to make sure you feel safe, supported and attuned to. Your window of tolerance will always be kept in mind and respected and we will only go where you choose to go. I will respect your boundaries completely and I will never force or push towards anything you are not comfortable looking into or discussing.

DO I work with everyone who wants to book a session?

This work is very tender and very dynamic. It’s important to me to make sure that people are comfortable and ready for these sessions and that I will be able to support you adequately - both with the knowledge I have and in my ability to hold the space you need. For this reason, I will not take on everyone for my live sessions. Please know, it is absolutely not personal. I just want to respect both of our time and energy and make sure we are a right fit to work together. If it doesn’t feel right for us to work together during a certain point in time, I may invite you to check back in the future, or I may refer you to someone else if I know of anyone who would be able to provide what you are looking for. Thank you for your understanding.

How can you use these sessions?

However you feel inclined to - whether that is an obvious application or one that unfurls over time. The cosmos always gives you what you need at exactly the right time, often before you even recognize it for what it is. So, meaning and integration on different planes and levels can evolve slowly.

In a practical sense, you can book a one-off session and be done there - there can be so much to marinate in in the aftermath of just one session. You can also build on your sessions with me over time as you need and create a longer-term exploration and practice. Whatever is necessary and beneficial for you.

Do I offer sliding scale pricing?

Not at this time. I have set rates at price points that I have decided based on the content of the reading/session, how much information I’m sharing, what energy I’m holding and how much I’m attuning to. I try to keep pricing as reasonable as possible while respecting my time and energy and the realms of the readings/sessions.

I hope to find ways to offer sliding-scale pricing or something similar in the future when that is possible for me.

Can you still get a birth chart reading if you don’t know your birth time?

You can! Just know that we won’t be able to get into certain specifics around your chart placements - we won’t know your rising or your house assignments. It will be a more open-ended interpretation, but you may still find a poetry and intrigue in this.

Can you give a reading or live session as a gift to someone else?

Generally yes, depending on the session (Chart Consultation Sessions can only be booked after receiving a chart reading from me). Just be sure the individual receiving the gift is consenting and comfortable with receiving a reading or a live session - I would advise against booking anything without consulting the person you are gifting a reading/session to first and making sure it’s something they definitely want.

Also note that I have intake forms for all of my readings and sessions. If you are giving one as a gift, it might be helpful to plan ahead so the person receiving the reading/session will be able to fill out the forms to their preferences privately.

YOU haven’t received a confirmation email after booking, or You haven’t received your reading in the time you were supposed to?
