Every reading with For the Living, From the Loved is designed to be comfortable, flexible, and deeply personal. Spirit communication doesn’t depend on location, so you’re welcome to connect with me in the way that feels best for you — phone, text, messaging, video call, or in person. I’m based in Rochester, NY, and I’ve worked with people from Portland, Oregon to India. No matter where you are, the connection comes through.
What to Expect
Virtual Sessions: Most clients choose phone, text, or video sessions. These allow me to work from my private in-home office and jewelry workshop, where I’m most grounded and creatively open. I often make jewelry during virtual readings — the movement and focus help me stay connected and receptive.
In-Person Sessions: If you prefer to meet face-to-face, I have a dedicated space on my property separate from my home. It’s a beautifully set up travel trailer with heating, air conditioning, a table, with a bathroom, and comfortable seating. This gives us a quiet, private environment without entering my personal living space. I am also willing to meet in local coffee shops of your choosing.
Your Choice of Setting
How I Work
My mediumship is iterative and conversational. Spirit communicates with me through sensations, words, and images, and I share those impressions as they come. I may begin by saying something like:
“This spirit feels like a grandmother to me, or someone who may have been more of a grandmotherly influence to you.”
“I feel feminine energy, and it feels like a sister or an extremely close friend.”
Sometimes I’m shown pictures or symbols, and I’ll ask you to help me understand their meaning:
“Tell me about the dog I’m seeing.”
“Why am I being shown the color red with white birds?”
Your feedback helps break down communication barriers and allows the message to become clearer and more accurate. It’s very much a three‑way conversation: you, me, and the spirit who’s reaching out.
It’s also common for more than one spirit to come through during a session. We may begin with one presence, and as the connection strengthens, others may step forward. The spirit realm can get very excited when they see communication happening, and that enthusiasm often brings additional loved ones into the conversation.
A Note About Symbols
Spirits use the images, animals, and references I know to communicate. If you’re in another region or country, I may describe something familiar to me that doesn’t exist where you live. For example:
“I’m seeing something that looks like an American crow — how does that relate to the birds in your area?”
This is completely normal. Together, we interpret the meaning behind the symbol so the message can come through.
A Comfortable, Respectful Experience
Whether we’re talking through a screen or sitting across from each other, my goal is to create a safe, open space for connection. You don’t need to prepare anything or bring anything — just come as you are, with an open mind and heart.
