I’ll process your reading within the stated timeframe.
Receive Your Reading
You will receive a detailed, personalized reading via email to review at your convenience.
Confidentiality And Privacy
Privacy: This is intimate, powerful work. I respect your privacy and keep this work professional and within a safe container. I encourage you to keep your insights close to your heart and share only with those you are closest with.
Confidentiality: Sharing specific tips or insights online could misrepresent my professional work. By booking, you agree to keep our sessions confidential. I keep all client information confidential. On occasion I will ask for written permission to share testimonies or radically magical sychronicities.
Refunds
It’s ok to change your mind, if you purchase a reading and have decided it’s not for you, just let me know prior to the completion of the reading and I will refund you. Refunds are not available for completed readings. Tarot can introduce challenging topics and insights that are not always palatable. While it is not my goal to be confrontational or upsetting, individuals can often receive information they do not like during readings. Be sure you are ready to explore challenging insights.

Not a Substitute for Licensed Mental Health Professionals
My services are not a replacement for the care provided by a licensed mental health professional. If you are addressing mental health concerns with the support of a qualified professional, my readings or sessions may serve as a valuable complement to your ongoing work. However, they should not be your primary resource for addressing mental health issues.
While you are welcome to book a session if you have a mental health diagnosis, please note that I am not qualified to help you manage or treat that diagnosis. Additionally, if you are feeling unsafe or unstable, my services will not provide the support you require. In such instances, I encourage you to seek immediate help from appropriate professionals or reach out to someone you trust.
Guiding, Not Instructing
My goal is to empower and motivate you, not to direct your actions. My readings and sessions are designed to help you explore your options, deepen your understanding, and build the confidence to make informed decisions for yourself. I approach every session with objectivity, aiming to guide rather than dictate.
Entertainment Disclaimer
My readings and sessions are intended for entertainment purposes. While they may offer insights and perspectives, their effectiveness beyond entertainment cannot be guaranteed.
Confidentiality
All client information is treated with the utmost confidentiality. While I may discuss general themes or lessons from my practice in videos or other content, I will never disclose specific client stories or details. Your trust is sacred, and I am committed to safeguarding it.
Age Restrictions
I do not provide readings, mentoring, or counseling sessions to individuals under the age of 18. However, those under 18 are welcome to purchase e-books, courses, or video workshops.
Limitations of Services
I do not answer specific questions regarding legal matters, financial issues, or health concerns. Please consult appropriately trained professionals for such inquiries.
Right to Decline Services
I reserve the right to trust my intuition when deciding whether to proceed with a session. If I feel a reading or session is not appropriate or that I am not the right fit for your needs, I will decline and issue a full refund.
Mediumship and Future Predictions
I am not a medium and do not offer services aimed at contacting the deceased. I view tarot as a therapeutic tool to support the grieving process, not a means to communicate with loved ones who have passed.
I do not claim to predict the future. Instead, I help you recognize your role as a co-creator of your life. The future is shaped by your choices, and my work focuses on illuminating pathways and empowering you to make intentional decisions. For this reason, I discourage yes-or-no questions about whether something will definitively happen. Instead, we will explore strategies and opportunities to align with your goals.
Focus on Healing and Empowerment
My services emphasize healing, self-exploration, and practical coping strategies to enhance daily life. Each session includes actionable steps, journaling prompts, and focus areas to support long-term growth and progress.
All readings and sessions aim to be both nurturing and empowering. While tough-love messages may occasionally arise, I deliver them with sensitivity and care. My goal is to help you recognize your personal power and take responsibility for shaping your life.
Ethical Focus on Your Perspective
When discussing relationships, my readings center on your emotions, actions, and feelings rather than delving into the psyche of others. I believe it is unethical to examine someone who has not consented to a reading. Instead, we focus on how you can navigate the connection from your perspective.
Thank you for considering my services. I am honored to be part of your journey and strive to provide an experience that is both meaningful and respectful of your unique path.
