Frequently Asked Questions

---

A Medium is someone who specifically communicates with spirits of the deceased or other non-physical entities. Mediums act as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. Their role is often to relay messages from loved ones who have passed on or to provide closure and healing through these connections.  A Psychic, is someone who has the ability to sense or interpret information beyond normal sensory perceptions. Psychics use intuition and extrasensory perception to provide insight, predictions or guidance. They may use tools such as tarot cards, astrology, pendulums, and their main focus is interpreting energy fields or predicting potential future events. 

Every Medium is a Psychic - because they can directly communicate with the spirit world or channel communication they also "sense" energy (psychic).  BUT NOT every Psychic is a Medium.  A Psychic does not communicate directly with the spirit world.

A Medium - can offer a Mediumship Reading, a Psychic Reading or both. The difference is the Focus of the Reading.  During a Mediumship Reading, the focus is to communicate with loved ones that have passed on and bring through messages.  During a Psychic Reading, the focus is past, present and future events and offering guidance for personal growth. Connecting solely to your energy and higher self (not those in the spirit world).  A Reading that involve both Psychic and Mediumship will include a reading of your energy (past present future) and communication with loved ones who have passed. 

Our Ancestors are the people from whom we are descended. They can be understood in various contexts depending on cultural, spiritual, or biological perspectives. 

Biological Ancestors; your direct genetic forebears - parents, grandparents, and so on .  They contribute to your genetic makeup and includes your extended family lineage that connects you to specific cultures, regions or ethnic groups.

Cultural or Spiritual Ancestors; May not be directly related to you by blood but are tied to your cultural, spiritual or communal identity. Such as Founders of your cultural traditions, figures who have passed on wisdom, rituals or practices within your community. Often revered or remembered for shaping values, traditions or shared heritage. 

Ancestral Spirits in Spiritual Beliefs - In many spiritual traditions, ancestors are believed to continue existing in a spiritual form, influencing or guiding the living. They act as guardians, protectors, or sources of wisdom. Rituals or offerings may be performed to honor them and maintain a connection. An example would be that in honoring the dead in Dia de los Muertos.

In summary, Ancestors can be viewed as those who came before us biologically, culturally, or spiritually shaping who we are today. 

Energy healing is a holistic practice that involves balancing and harmonizing the body's energy fields (such as chakra's - aura, energetic points - meridians - the flow of one's energetic body) to promote physical, emotional or spiritual well-being. (ex: Reiki)  The Energy Healer Practitioner channels "life energy" (such as Qi or Chi )to remove energetic blocks, restore balance, and support the body's natural healing processes.  Techniques such as sound healing, drumming, or visualization (guided meditation) are often used to shift and harmonize energy. 

Shamanic Energy Healing; is a ancient spiritual practice that involves connecting to the spiritual realm to bring healing, guidance and balance. The practice focuses on healing at both the energetic and spiritual levels. Shamans act as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual worlds. A shamanic practitioner may journey into the spiritual realm to connect with ancestors or spirit guides for insights and healing, serving as a conduit to higher spirits to provide the healing. 

Ancestral Healing focuses on resolving issues tied to ancestral lines, such as intergenerational traumas, unresolved grief, or unhealthy patterns (eg. fear, addiction, or limiting beliefs). Practitioners work to release these patterns energetically, believing that this healing benefits both the living and the deceased ancestors. 

Spirit guides are spiritual beings that provide guidance, support and protection to individuals throughout their lives. They are often considered helpers from the spiritual realm who assist with personal growth, decision-making, and life's challenges guiding us on our life purpose and path. They can take many forms depending on your spiritual beliefs.

The belief is that everyone is assigned at least one spirit guide from birth and that we may have several that come and go throughout our life time depending on the circumstances of their life lessons.  Spirit Guides differ from our Angels and Ancestors in the way the they are uniquely connected to our soul's journey, whereas angels are diving beings of light who work for the greater good not just individual lives and ancestors have a personal, familial connection and often focus on supporting the living members of their lineage. 

My belief and experience is that we have a Spiritual Team that consists of Spirit Guides, Angels/Archangels, Ancestors, Animal Spirits, Loved Ones .... They all serve us in their own unique way each with a separate purpose in guiding us, supporting and assisting us on our life journey. 

All that is needed from you for a Mediumship or Psychic Reading is an open heart, open mind and Intention. Release any and all expectations and simply allow spirit to share with you what is meant for you at this time.  To set a clear intention you can begin to think about what you'd like to focus on during your session. Are you seeking closure, guidance or clarity on a specific topic? For a mediumship reading, you can think about the loved one you'd like to connect with but don't over focus or think, and know that all will come through naturally.

You may bring a journal or notebook to take notes during the session to remember key messages or insights especially mentions of names, dates, events that might not make sense in the moment but might make sense later.  

For your Energy Healing Session it is important to be hydrated and bring water to your session. Wear comfortable clothing and socks.  A journal to take notes after your session, as you may have experiences you didn't anticipate - visuals etc. 

Additional Tips : 

Hydrate and Rest -Being physically and mentally refreshed helps your energy be more receptive. 

Turn off Distractions -Silence your phone and ensure you are fully present for the session.

Be Honest - if something doesn't make sense, it's okay to let the Medium know - this may help to refine communication.
