Are you typical of your star sign? If so, how?
Yes! I am an Aries and have great energy, enthusiasm and determination. I am optimistic and friendly but have a strong sense of justice that I will fight for. I used to be more fiery but I have mellowed and now it's just the odd flash! My ascendant is Scorpio, giving me a deep, silent patience and strength, which complements my more impetuous Aries side.
How long have you been giving readings for?
Around 40 years. I began at Uni when a friend gave me her cards and instructions book.
What advice would you give to those customers contemplating their first reading?
Relax, ask questions, clarify anything you're not sure of.
What do you do for fun outside of psychic readings?
I love exhibitions, museums, quizzes, Shakespeare and short trips away.
What prompted you to start giving readings?
Initially my Uni friend piqued my interest, then as I practised on her friends I realised more and more that it came naturally.
What spiritual skills do you have?
As a Reiki Practitioner I often had prophetic visions (I occasionally have premonitions) and my clairsentience became stronger. I use Tarot to steer my clairvoyance into specific directions. I smell people's scents when they are trying to contact me.
What tools do you use within your readings?
I use Tarot (I can also read playing cards)
What’s your most memorable psychic experience?
Gosh, so many! The most life-changing was seeing an angel in my walled back garden, very clearly, just after Grandad passed when I was 7. I can still remember the feeling he conveyed and the words, 'It's alright' coming into my head as he stared at me. I was surprised he had no wings!
When did you discover your gifts?
My Nan used to have prophetic dreams and Mum's side of the family had frequently had readings so it was naturally around me. In my early teens I began to 'know' things and come out with names and facts that I couldn't possibly have discovered. At Uni when I started reading, and as I then read for friends of friends - and specifically a friend's clairvoyant mum - I realised that people were finding my readings very insightful.
Why should a client choose you for their psychic reading?
Because I am here to help others through my gifts but also through my empathy, kindness and honesty. Readings have helped me in the past and I wish to give others the same chances that I had to seek answers.
