How to prepare for a reading.
A quiet, useful guide for anyone sitting with a psychic or medium for the first time — or the fortieth. Nothing fussy. Rest, a few questions, a quiet room, and an open heart.
— Five simple steps
- 01
Rest the night before
Sleep well. Skip the wine. A quiet, ordinary evening lets your field arrive settled — the sitting begins from a clean line, not a frayed one.
- 02
Write your questions down
Three or four is plenty. Rank them. If we only reach the top two, they will be the two that mattered most. Keep them open — 'What should I know about…' opens more doors than a yes-or-no.
- 03
Settle your body that morning
Drink water. Move gently. Skip the second coffee. A short walk or five minutes of stillness will do more than any elaborate ritual.
- 04
Choose a quiet room
For an online sitting, use the room in your home where you feel most at ease. Close the door, silence notifications, use headphones, and tell the household the next hour is not to be interrupted.
- 05
Arrive open
Hold your questions loosely. The people you love do not always wait for the question to be asked. Come as you are, and let the sitting speak to what actually needs speaking.
What to expect from a medium.
A mediumship sitting is slower and quieter than most imagine. I will offer names, images and small private details as they arrive, and check them with you as we go. Some will land at once; others will make sense a day or a week later. There is no performance — only careful listening spoken plainly.
It is entirely normal to laugh and to weep in the same hour. Both are welcome. Nothing said in the room leaves the room. If a name or image doesn't quite fit, say so — it means we haven't reached the right frequency yet, and the work is to keep listening until we do.
Setting an intention.
An intention is not a wish. It is a short, honest sentence about what you'd like to leave with — 'clarity on the move,' 'a word from my father,' 'to understand what my body is trying to tell me.' Say it to yourself on the way in. Then set it down. The sitting will do the rest.
If you are unsure which sitting to book.
Read the short psychic vs. medium guide, or write to me and describe what you carry — I will help you choose. If your questions are about the road in front of you, a private psychic reading is usually right. If you wish to hear from someone who has passed, book a mediumship sitting.
Every sitting is held in confidence. Every guest is met as they are.
— Frequently asked
Common questions, plainly answered.
- How should I prepare for a psychic reading?
- Sleep well the night before, eat something light, arrive a few minutes early and set aside anywhere you might be interrupted. Bring one or two clear questions and leave the rest open — the sitting has its own weather.
- Do I need to bring anything to a mediumship sitting?
- Only yourself. If you would like to sit with a specific person on the other side, hold their name and face in mind on the way in. A small keepsake — a photograph, a piece of jewellery, a handwritten note — can help but is never required.
- What should I do the morning of my session?
- Move gently. Drink water. Skip the second coffee if you can. A short walk, a quiet shower, or five minutes of stillness will settle your field so we can begin cleanly. Avoid heavy news, arguments, or anything that leaves you clenched.
- How do I create a quiet environment for an online reading?
- Choose the room in your home where you feel most at ease. Close the door, silence notifications, use headphones, and let anyone in the household know the next hour is not to be interrupted. A candle and a glass of water are enough ceremony.
- What can I expect from a medium during the sitting?
- I will offer names, images and small private details as they arrive, and check them with you. Some things will land at once; others will make sense a day or a week later. There is no performance — only careful listening spoken plainly.
- Should I write down my questions beforehand?
- Yes. A short list — three or four questions is plenty — keeps the sitting from wandering when emotion rises. Rank them, so if we only reach two, they are the two that matter.
- Is it alright to be nervous or emotional?
- Entirely. Grief, hope, curiosity and fear are all welcome at the table. Tears do not interrupt the work; they often deepen it. You will not be judged, and nothing said in the room leaves the room.
