• Do you know what I'm thinking right this minute? Do you read people all the time?

Maybe, maybe not. A lot of thoughts float through my head and a lot of feelings swim about my body. However, the chances of me knowing exactly what a thought or feeling is related to, unless I'm focused on it, is unlikely.

I also go by the ethic of not reading people without their knowledge (unless it's public domain -- current events, celebrities, etc..). If I do pick up insight inadvertently and it does happen a lot, I will often share what I'm picking up (but not all the time) and please do not take my impressions as fact until I have had a chance to check in. At the same time, I have the opportunity to shut down my psychic and highly intuitive abilities and live normally as anyone else does.

In fact, I rarely read for myself (and never to rarely ask for someone else to read me) unless working on a project or testing my ability (which I do, to keep myself in check).



• Which is it: Readings or Sessions?

While the term "readings" throughout the site, it's due to the commonly understood notion of what goes on within an intuitive session that uses metaphysical tools. I do "read" but I also coach (ask), consult (advise), counsel (heal), guide (teach), and explore (discover) as needed so it's more often a session you are getting and not just a plain reading which often leads to little future happiness.

• Do you perform community service?

Yes, I did! Once a month I used to work with group of psychics who used to fundraise for the Toronto Humane Society. I read with other psychics for a 4 hour period at the Old Nick on Broadview and Danforth the second Sunday of every month from 2-6PM and in Cabbagetown.

It was a lot of great fun to have the opportunity to work with peers as the environment was engaging, and it was a good time for all but I became very busy in my own practice and had to leave!

• What's a professional friend?

  A professional friend, like myself, is someone who engages on a very personal and intimate level but who also has the following qualities: objective distance, specialized knowledge, training, and experience, and potentially credentials to help you with a very specific concern.

  Although we may have many friends, those friends may not have the expertise or interest to help us with certain areas of our life and maybe we don't want them to either.

  A professional friend bridges the gap and is an integral part of your support system on your journey in life.

• What's a session with you like?

  I tend to get along well with the majority of people. I build rapport well which means I help you feel comfortable and relaxed like you just met up with a friend you haven't seen in years but picked up where you left off. I feel very connected and at one with the majority of people and when I don't, it's usually because the other person doesn't want to. This can lead to bad reads (which are few and far between for me).

  Having said that I do have a fondness for strong women who can handle challenging information with grace and determination. I do not set out to leave anyone with a bad feeling; however, I do not lie and I believe life is a series of ups and downs. If a seeker is looking for a rose coloured fantasy I'm not the reader for them. I enjoy working with women who have or want direction, goals, places and people to see.

If you are looking for someone a bit softer, I can recommend readers who are water sun sign personalities. I'm a fire sun sign personality (Leo) with lots of earth (Virgo) yet I do have water (Scorpio) in my chart as well. All elements read with a different approach and are less animated/passionate than I am.

Since I have a methodical nature I know where I want to take the session so there is some structure to it but at the same time I'm flexible and go with the flow. I also take the time to pray and meditate before the many sessions -- this grounds and centers me to take in information more readily.

For year ahead /annual / first time readings I usually start with a personality analysis. This is for both of us. For one, it helps me synch with your style and for another it gives you comfort in knowing that I can understand you well from the get-go!

Then we move into either your questions or you start asking questions and I respond. I'm quite skilled at coaching (asking powerful questions), counseling (analyzing and walking you through issues, behaviour, etc..), and consulting (knowledgeable and practical advice, suggestions, etc..). and use whatever is needed at the time or whatever is booked.

Also I like to focus on the present but I do look at the possible future based on present circumstances. I have a very optimistic, positive, and spiritual approach with a grounded, practical, and realistic foundation.

• Are you readings legally binding?

No, readings are not legally binding. Readings are a form of entertainment and self-discovery by a non-licensed professional.

Psychic, tarot and esoteric readings are not regulated, at this time, by any governing body; therefore, it's important to take the best and leave the rest. It's highly recommended that you use your *own* good judgment when making any decisions based on insights and information provided. Please see disclaimer.

I do not predict and rarely comment on death, birth, serious illness, accidents, lotto numbers, stocks/investments, or anything else that would normally be answered by a licensed professional. Please see my code of ethics. You will find me uncomfortable in answering those types of questions though I often find a way of responding without going against my ethics.

• What's my responsibility as a Seeker ?

Responsibility? But I'm paying for a reading, aren't you the one that's supposed to be responsible??

Well that's certainly one way of looking at it; however, there are two chairs at the reading table, one for you and one for me. We work "together" on your reading to ensure excellence. Respect, regard, and a minimum of trust are strongly recommended as your reading is intimate and is not generally considered -- tangible.

Your responsibility as seeker is to:

1. Read as much as you can about me, my services, my methods, readings offered, code of ethics, and my reading style through this Web site, my blog, and by asking direct questions.

2. Ask meaningful and productive questions that are not fortune telling based unless you are receiving a predictive reading. And then there is the understanding that the answers will more than likely be vague and short -- except for the specific information requested (i.e. when? -- date, timeline, season, etc.. given, will? -- yes, no, maybe, favourable, unfavourable, or a %). Please read the .pdf on phrasing and building questions in great detail and then draw up your questions with a strong focus on open ended questions and then check to see if you will get the best possible reading based on your questions.

3. Be open and receptive to outcomes that may differ from your own or of any other reader. The beauty of getting a reading from someone else is that they can have an objective and different viewpoint for you to consider.

4. Expect the best. When your energy is positive, there is likely to be a better response. Do not expect miracles. Do expect to take action to manifest your own dreams.

5. Ask for clarification when you don't understand something or when something is too vague. Provide background after the reading if you want general, metaphoric, or symbolic information to be put into clearer context.

6. Remember why you came and if you got something out of the reading. A reader doesn't necessarily have to tell you some earth shattering specific information (like someone's name or what-have-you) that they possibly couldn't have known in order for the reading to be successful. Keep in mind that that type of information is more likely "not" to be received through a reading and is more than likely a telepathic connection (which requires a positive and open energy to receive). A psychic does not need to "dance" for you in order for the reading to be of value. *grin*

7. Be thankful and provide feedback whether it be positive and/or constructive.

Since it takes two to tango, my responsibilities are outlined in my code of ethics and guarantee. :-)

• Do you connect with the dead, spirits, Jesus, God? Are you a medium? Do you channel? Can you sense spirit or ghosts?

I can connect with people who have passed over through using tools such as Tarot but I do not do readings where that is a sole focus. I also have a quiet (non clairaudient) connection with otherworldly spirits and angels -- God (the creator/higher power, etc..) pops in every once in awhile like a stern Mother or a challenging Father and I have connected with my Spirit Guide, finally. This would make me a medium. I can be a bridge between the other world and this world. However, there are mediums out there that are far more accomplished than I so if that's what you are seeking, I'm not your best bet!

I do not wish to channel professionally (outside of past life recall sessions) at this time for it can lead to some destructive situations for a novice medium like myself. However, I am able to sense spirit, with sensing negative spirit the strongest. I have a strong feeling that I'm not alone or see a flash of something move swiftly to the side of my eye and most recently the sense of being "poked" and "sprayed" -- freaky! What's odd is that my partner will get the same thing at the same time and I know the truth of the situation because I didn't bother to say anything to him when it happened ('cause stuff like that happens a lot) and then seconds later he tells me what just happened to him. *nods* My partner is psychic too (Pisces) with a focus on energy work (Reiki)! :-)

To mention, my readings are focused around accessing the spiritual to assist in the practical mundane world. I don't do readings that focus on connecting with those passed over, ghost hunting, detective, or Hollywood glamourous psychic stuff at this time.

I have been, and more than always likely will be, interested in helping people design their life so they can lead fulfilling, productive, and meaningful lives. This is a positive expression of my gifts and talents and this is what I want to give to seekers.

• How long have you been doing this?

This is life. I have been doing this all my life. Oh, that isn't what you meant? ;-) Okay, :-) I have been reading since 1996, receiving a fee part time since 2001, and have made this a full time business since February of 2005.

I'm an autodidact. I love learning on my own because I can get a direct connection to the masters past or present. However, I have spent many hours studying at seminars and workshops since 1996.

My mother (Pisces sun) and sister (a number of Pisces signs in her birth chart) posses clairsentient, esp, and other psi phenomena; that makes me (at minimum) a second generation psychic. I knew of this since I was young.

They also quietly used the Tarot but I never had interest in it, thinking it wasn't real and I thought I was adopted: "Who are these people"? Then in 1996 I got into an accident and took account of my life and what was important; I also didn't want to be a shy wallflower at parties and Tarot opens up people to share, talk, and connect. :-) I then realized Tarot, psi phenomena, and other tools such as chiromancy, numerology, and astrology, ARE real!

I'm still a skeptic but instead of writing things off like I did in my teens and early twenties, I take the time to investigate things personally. I try things out and if they work, then I'm a believer!

• Aren't psychics and readers frauds?

There certainly are a lot of frauds out there. The best way to avoid frauds is to gauge your reaction. Are you salivating while saying, "This is too good to be true!! I'm going to get exactly what I want while not having to do anything! Goodie!!".

Any person who says they will remove a negative curse or spell or re-unite you will a loved one are practicing, at best, black witch craft. And while I consider myself a witch (another story, day, and time) I follow the law of three (three fold law) and the Witches Rede.

I come from a place of integrity so I ask myself, whether any of this (Tarot, psychic impressions, astrology, etc..) works in the way we think it does and if it doesn't, "Am I making a difference? Am I helping people lead positive, happy, meaningful, and productive lives at a reasonable and affordable price?" and as long as I can answer, "YES!" then I'm not a fraud. I am obviously answering YES!

My purpose is positive; a fraudulent person's purpose is greed. Greed is not positive.

The bottom line: Anything that is of value requires work and reciprocation. There is no free lunch, no spell that can wash away all your pains and bad luck. Only you can make that happen! But as long as there are people out there not willing to take responsibility and work for their abundance and work towards a positive, healthy, and happy life on their own, there will be psychic frauds. Do yourself and everyone else a favour and put them out of business!

• Do you keep readings confidential?

Yes! 100% Yes. However, in order to improve services I may need to talk about your situation while removing identifying information or to appropriate people if you allude to committing harm against yourself or others as well as getting a consult for particularly difficult issues. Please see my privacy policy. And after all that is said and done I purposefully "forget" your reading but if I read for you soon after I may be triggered into remembering as I have a stellar memory. I have to consciously forget your reading to give you privacy and me peace of mind! *grin*

• Can you tell me if I'm a good match with my partner?

Yes! With a love reading, we can look at compatibility based on birth. I use a unique method of analysing strengths and challenges within the relationship and unless there is abuse, harm being done, or the other person refuses to participate (i.e. they truly are NOT interested in being with you) I advocate fighting for the relationship you want to be in. So even if it doesn't look like the perfect fit, I help you fit perfectly within your relationship if that's what you want.

• How do you get your information?

I get my information from many places including: my brain(which includes education from over 500 books and tools on psi phenomena); astrology, Tarot, I-Ching, palm, numerology, and other divinatory & spiritual practices; the collective unconscious or the universal mind (I truly believe that whatever I came up with -- as much as it seems like an epiphany of my own making -- is either a) an angel, spirit, guide, or the Creator passing information on to me OR b) it's the consciousness of many behind, in front of, and before me (see Carl Jung); my experience, knowledge, and eduction in this earthly incarnation and in past incarnations; and you!

• How do I book a reading? Do I have to wait for a reading? When are you available for an appointment? How much do you charge? How can I pay? How can I contact you?

1. Understand what you want and know who you are.

If this is your first time having a session with me, please select a full session. This allows us to connect thoroughly with each other and to give you a clear path of answers to the questions and issues that have been on your mind for awhile.

Half sessions are great if you have a few painless questions you want to ask. It isn't meant for anything too serious as there's not a lot of time to address a lot of questions and issues.

Package deals are great for someone who is looking for something very different. It's where I coach, counsel, guide, and heal the most. There's homework, resources, and an action plan to get you going where you need to go -- where you decide you need to go.

2. Choose a Reading Delivery

Email does not require an appointment and is available at any time. You will receive your reading within 10 days of payment. If you are not patient, try phone or instant message instead.

Instant message and phone appointments are available Monday to Friday 12-8pm EST. Please check your time zone, compared to mine (Toronto, Ontario, Canada EST, on the world clock! Payment is required at the time of booking and not minutes before your scheduled reading.

Live In-person readings in Toronto are currently available through booking a house or office party.

3. Book an Appointment

Since I have a busy practice and have many projects on the go, your appointment may take between 3 days and two weeks (after payment) to receive unless you are receiving an on-demand or full rate reading.

I reside in Toronto, Ontario, Canada Please include your time zone when making an appointment.

On-demand Readings

Because I respect my time, energy, and quality of life, I avoid on-demand readings. Having said that if your issue is of an urgent matter I am happy to consider your request and the reading is at full rate. Otherwise it can take anywhere from 4 - 10 days to receive a reading. You can also join Club Jucy for on-demand readings throughout the month.


4. Pay for your reading

Strangely enough this is the hardest part about giving readings. No one wants to pay. I spend a lot of time back and forth in (what seems to be, unnecessary) email and phone communication. If the unlikely case that I can not give you a reading, then you will get a refund. It's as simple as that. I'm a registered business as well as an incorporation - 3 of Cups Psychic Event Entertainment Inc. I am NOT out to rip you off but I must say I have encountered a lot of seekers wanting to do that to me. Again, strange.

I use Paypal for credit card and INTERAC Email Money Transfer. If you are an existing client I might accept a cheque or cash. Bottom line, payment MUST be made at the time of booking or your booking isn't confirmed. There have been many problems with actually making the payment -- sometimes it can take up to 3 days to sort it all out so the last thing I want to do is deal with that right before or day-of your session.

Paypal is a secure system for buyers.


Why Should I Book an Appointment?

For one, I will be in a better space to give you the best possible reading! :-)

Unfortunately many of us find it hard to be patient under difficult times so I leave you with this: Do you really want someone to give you a reading that they can do within a moment's notice? If they are that slow, are they any good? But lets say it's on a system (because I do log onto systems), do you really think you can get high quality service that way? I log onto systems because it's a way to do focused and constant readings (I'm high in demand); however, I also know that most are not getting the highest of quality readings that I can provide -- the type I offer on this site -- and that's because it does take some preparation and effort (on both ends) to do high quality readings. Also having some time before the appointment allows you to the opportunity to develop questions and gain more meaning from your readings.

Having said this, read what else I have to say about on-demand readings.

• What type of services do you provide?

I provide a number services including using esoteric skills and the three C's -- coaching, counseling, and consulting.

Also, I run another site -- called Mindlogos -- which focuses on helping people define their values, mission, and vision and then ways in which they can bring about value, productivity, abundance, and success to their lives by using their VMV in everything they do and say. Basically I create business, professional, and personal brands.

• How accurate are you?

Predictions

"In thinking about this question, it is helpful to remember that many people's jobs involve predicting the future -- weather forecasters, investment brokers, sports writers, and insurance analysts, to name a few. In the physical world, the future can be predicted to some extent based on the present situation, known trends extending into the future, and past patterns of behaviour -- and the things may be no different in the metaphysical world. Some similar rules may apply: The sooner the event being predicted, the more likely an accurate prediction can be made. The more ordered and less chaotic the system, the more likely the future can be predicted. If a future event is strongly based on events that have already taken place, it can probably be predicted by tarot cards as easily as a current situation can be explored. On the other hand, if the future is highly dependent on actions or decisions that have yet to be made, a prediction is less likely to be correct." Mary K. Greer, an authority (published author) on Tarot

So at times I look at the past and the present to help predict the future -- this is a part of being a highly intuitive person who has keen analytical skills and life experience. In other words if I'm making sense to you about what's happened in the past and present (and you didn't tell me), then the possible future elaborated upon is likely to be accurate as well! ;-)

Content

My belief that intuition is a combination of historical (empirical) data, deep and heightened observation, and an ability to cut through the thickness of surface reality. Intuition is like a slow motion machine that captures data instantaneously and hits you like a ton of bricks. Intuition is a knowing, a sensing that is beyond the conscious understanding — a gut feeling. Intuition is not pseudo-science.

Seekers who have participated in a session have said I'm up to 90% accurate and in many cases I'm 100% accurate for a seeker.

I'm very accurate about the past and present and so one might believe my predicted forecast would be the same; however, the future includes the philosophy of freewill and here I have found myself to be accurate about 70-80% of the time.

What's most important about your future, is your design. I can tell you a likely or probable future based on current trends but you can and more than often do change it. In this way I'm glad NOT to be 100% accurate as most of the time when people come to me things are spiraling out of control in a direction they don't want it to run. So ask yourself, do you want a reader to be 100% accurate? ;-)

Also when it comes to accuracy, it can be highly subjective. A seeker may not be ready for what they hear, metaphors and symbolism may be difficult to interpret, what is said is not in alignment with belief, and/or the message deliver (i.e. the Reader, Consultant, etc..) and seeker are having a communication breakdown (language, word choice, perception, viewpoint, etc.).

• How can you read using x,y,z method?

I get this question asked far more than I want to answer it and that's because this question boggles my mind a bit.

If someone says they accept payment by a certain method, say cash or credit card, would anyone say, "how is that possible?" Sure, there might be some who do (curious I imagine) but to contact the company and say, "don't companies take just cheques? How is it possible you are taking cash?". Well, to me that shows a very black and white thought process or a very curious mind -- both in which I have little time to deal with in unpaid situations. And both of which may be one reason why that person is coming to me in the first place.

So I figure it's time to put this in the FAQ:

I can read through instant message, email, phone, and in-person -- that's why I offer those methods. If I couldn't read through those methods, than I wouldn't offer them. I have a personal preference (preference has nothing to do with accuracy) for phone or in-person but I'm not always available for on-demand readings and it can take up to 2 weeks to get a live appointment with me. Plus in-person and on-demand is more expensive than phone and unfortunately I don't have the time right now for in-person (especially with new clients).

Email allows me to mull over responses and do some research. Research is something many professionals do to enrich a session with a client, I'm no different. For other methods I may follow up after the initial reading but with email I can choose words more carefully and the message can become more in-depth. Having said that, I don't always have time to do email readings and it's more expensive.

With instant message, it's more tiring for me than the seeker. And that's becuause I need to read, formulate, and type in a very fast "real time" way and then do it all over again with each question that inevitably comes to mind from the seeker. Thankfully I type 75-90 wpm so the seeker doesn't have to keep saying, "are you there?".

Is there still having trouble with how it's possible to read by other methods than in-person? Don't believe me, take a look at what my clients have said.

Just very curious on how the whole process really works? Join a Divine Class and I will show you how.

And finally does it look like I'm not interested in reading for individuals because I'm being myself and not trying to sell you on getting a reading from me? Well, you are partially right. The one thing I promised myself before leaving a lucrative but soul sucking career was that I wasn't going to sell my soul or lose integrity. I am who I am, warts and all.

If you like what you read, you will contact me and you will be treated very well indeed. But if you don't, then feel free to find another reader that floats your boat. :) I'm interested in reading for strong individuals with strong minds. Individuals who are willing to work for the life they want and just need an outside objective viewpoints using metaphysical skills because it's easier to help others but not easy to help ourselves.

If you are that person, than I want to read for you!! If you are not, you may want to try Ryan or Marianne who tend to be much more tame than I.

• Can you guide me in my spiritual or life path?

I can share my beliefs and the roads I have traveled but everyone must find their own spiritual path. With that said, there are metaphysical tools that can guide you towards a happier and enlightened future.

My personal spiritual roads traveled include: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, other eastern traditions, the Kabbalah, Wicca, Paganism, and the like. I tend to be a solitary person and thus my studies and interests are from this viewpoint.

• Where can I read more about you?

This is a pretty comprehensive site. Maybe start from the About page. I have a bio and my blog. And I'm all over the Internet, just check out any search engine.

• Do you guarantee your readings?

Yes I do. It has only been used once and that's when a reading didn't go well and I decided to start offering guarantees! That was a long long time ago and I haven't had to use the guarantee. However, it's there to give you comfort.

• Can I record the reading?

Yes. A record by instant message and email can be made; please ask. I do not want to be recorded by voice as it will likely affect what I say as I can not go over what I just said and edit before you listen. I'm somewhat of a self-conscious person when I know I'm being watched and criticized for every word I say. I blame the 5 planets in Virgo for that outlook. Having said that, I did take the plunge and went on a reality show -- Rich Bride, Poor Bride as a Psychic Advisor and am continuously trying to get out of my comfort zone.

• What does clairsentient, clairvoyant, claircognizant, and clairaudience mean? Are you an empath? Where are you from?

See my blog entry on psychic definitions.

My mystical ancestry includes Mimaq Indian, Acadian French, African black, East Indian, and German.

• Are you available for a party?

Yes! A minimum of 4 readings/guests and a maximum of 10 can be read for. Pay as little as $25 per guest. Larger bookings and events that require more flair will need to be done through 3 of Cups Psychic Event Enterainment.

Special events and parties are available any time and any day starting any time after 12pm and ending no later than 12AM. A deposit is required at the time of booking. I book as early as 30 days in advance of your event with a deposit. Some locations require a transportation expense.

Tarot readings are against my religion, is there anything else you can do for me?

No worries. We can focus on the past and present. Also personality readings would benefit you greatly. So yes, there is something else I can do for you!

• What's your credentials?

Business & Educational Experience

I have experience, education, and knowledge in coaching, counseling, and consulting. Previous job titles included: people manager, business analyst, customer service rep, corporate trainer, cashier, book seller, and other assorted and interesting jobs.

Tarot Reading

I'm a Certified Professional Tarot Reader (CPTR) and will eventually get my Masters, and Instructors Tarot Reader designation through Tarot Canada. At some point I'm likely to get certified from the American Tarot Certification Board which is the American version of Tarot Canada. I have been reading since 1996, requesting payment since 2001, and have started reading full time day in and day out since February 2005. I have given professional level readings to over 1000 people (I have stopped counting) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and all over the world. And monthly I met with my peers and we gave readings to fundraiser for The Toronto Humane Society through Psychics for Charity event.

Psychic Ability

As for psychic ability you can easily judge this once we get started in your reading! However, even with that I might one day have a governing body giving me the stamp of approval or perhaps I will become the governing body with a committee giving the stamp of approval.

The biggest issue with psychic and esoteric phenomena -- psi phenomena -- is that it's not linear or scientifically (at this time) measurable so in the grande scheme of things becoming credentialed in an esoteric skills is iffy.

Other Metaphysical Tools

The other "main" tools I use in a reading are astrology, numerology, palmistry, face reading, and personality testing. At this point I'm skilled to do readings using many esoteric skills but have no interest in picking up certificates for each and every one of them -- I leave that to the 9's and 10's! (ask me what that means *smile*) -- as the primary tool promoted is Tarot.
