What Happens During a Session with Me?

A Look Behind the Scenes of My Spiritual Work

If you’re thinking about booking a session, but you’re not quite sure what to expect—this post is for you. Let’s talk about what happens during a session with me.

Whether you’re drawn to a tarot reading or a soul conversation, my sessions aren’t scripted or mechanical. They’re living, breathing spaces for connection, clarity, and spiritual support. Below, I’ll walk you through what actually happens—before, during, and after a session—so you can feel grounded and prepared.

✨ Before We Even Speak: Setting Sacred Space

Long before our call begins, I’m already preparing on your behalf.

I begin each day with personal spiritual practices, but before each session, I do specific protection and opening rituals, affirmative prayers, and a short centering meditation. This ensures that the space we step into is energetically clean, safe, and held by Spirit.

My intention is always the same: that the session serves your highest good, brings clarity, and leaves you feeling more connected to your inner wisdom and the Divine.

💬 The First Few Minutes: Chit-Chat with Purpose

When we first connect, we’ll ease in gently. I usually begin with a few moments of casual conversation—not just for comfort, but to help the energy begin to move between us. This light rapport-building also gives me intuitive cues about how you’re really doing beneath the surface.

No matter what session type you’ve booked, we start where you are.

🧭 If You Booked a Sacred Soul Conversation or Mentoring Session…

These sessions aren’t about predictions—they’re about presence.

Once we settle in, I’ll often ask, “How is your soul doing today?”
Then I listen. Deeply. Without rushing or interrupting.

We’ll explore whatever is rising for you—emotionally, spiritually, energetically. Sometimes that’s grief or transition. Sometimes it’s confusion, loneliness, burnout, or even spiritual numbness. Whatever it is, this is a space to exhale.

These sessions often include:

  • Gentle reflection

  • Intuitive spiritual insight

  • Emotional validation and redirection

  • Practical suggestions or spiritual practices (when called for)

There’s no pressure to perform or “be spiritual.” You just get to be real.

🔮 If You Booked a Tarot or Psychic Reading…

Tarot sessions are more structured—but still deeply intuitive.

After we get settled, I’ll usually ask for your date of birth so I can check your numerology. This gives me insight into your current life cycle, energetic tone, and patterns at play.

From there, I begin the tarot reading. I blend:

  • Psychic impressions

  • Tarot symbolism

  • Numerology

  • Occasionally astrology

  • And sometimes channeled messages (if Spirit brings them forward)

If you’re unsure what to ask, I can help you focus your question. If you come open-ended, I’ll read what Spirit wants you to know.

These sessions are compassionate, clear, and direct. My role is to reveal the truth with kindness and help you find your way forward with confidence and peace.

🌠 After the Session: Integration

Sometimes, sessions leave you feeling energized and affirmed. Other times, they stir up insights that take time to settle.

That’s normal.

I always recommend you give yourself a few quiet minutes afterward—whether it’s journaling, grounding, or simply sitting in stillness—to allow the messages or emotions to fully integrate.

If something significant comes up after your session, you’re welcome to email me for brief clarification or reflection.

💌 Still Have Questions?

If you’re feeling drawn to this work but unsure about which session is right for you, you’re not alone. Many clients feel that way at first.

No pressure. Just presence.
