Q: Are you accepting new clients again?

A: I am! The next new client slots are in early May. Established client availability is always better, and is typically two-ish weeks out. Right now it’s about a week and a half out, in the second week of April. Cancellations do happen for both new clients and established clients. If you happen to see something week-of or the following week, I’d go ahead and grab it.

Q: You’re starting to offer other kinds of appointments. What are they? Who are they for?

A: I’m starting to offer two new different types of appointments for established clients. An established client is anyone who’s worked with me before. These appointments are an experiment of sorts, as are most new things I try. Right now, there’s two new, hour-long options: “Consults with Chrissy” and “Divination Lessons”. Consults with Chrissy are hour long sessions with me to talk about anything. Not a therapy session (I’m not a therapist), but not a psychic reading, either. More coaching, space-holding, and advice-giving. Consults are time to talk to me, the human, not time to talk to Spirit through me. Divination Lessons are for people interested in learning how to tap into their intuition- or how to even define it- and can include channeling exercises, tarot or oracle card practice, and discussion/dissection about your relationship to Spirit. I’ll be trying these new appointment types out through the spring and summer to see how I feel about them. I might decide to keep them and make them a permanent part of my business or they might evolve into something else. I’m a person who needs to try things out to see how they feel.

Q: What’s a psychic session like?

A: Like if your life coach already knew everything about you? That’s my best description. I’m very good at helping people create a map to get where they want to go. Because I’m so psychic, people don’t usually have to go through the layers themselves to help me understand what happened to them. Most people book with me for the first time because they want a map toward their goals, and I’m able to do that so long as their goals make sense (they don’t always!). People tend to come back because they want to check that they’re following the map or because they want my help to redraw the map.

Q: What should I do to prepare for a session?

A: New clients are welcome to write or think of a list categories you know you want to cover. People can give me more detail than that, but I don’t need usually it. Honestly, what I actually need from you is to come in with your heart open, and with as little nervous energy as you can. If you come in with your heart shut down (“I don’t want to be here, and I think this is stupid”), or you’re inwardly losing it (“I am on the verge of a panic attack”), it can be hard for me to get in there and do my job well. Energetically, this process is a two way street. If you’re feeling unwilling to book with me or are too scared to book with me, please don’t book with me. When you book before you’re ready, you’re taking a slot away from someone who will truly benefit from my work. If you are ready, remember: open heart, settled nervous system, some categories or concerns. That’s what I need from you.

Q: So you’re a psychic medium?

A: Yeah. Basically. I mean technically yes, but I don’t do that much traditional mediumship in my work at this point. I refer to myself as a psychic medium in conversation because people know what that is. People don’t know what an intuitive counselor is. Could I call myself a “seer” or a “channel”, instead? Sure. I consider it all semantics and synonyms, personally. “Psychics” as a group have a bad reputation because charlatans and scammers exist, and I respect people’s skepticism. That said, it’s not my fault that other people are shitty. Here’s a hint: people with real talent don’t advertise for their services. Not outside of social media, anyway. We don’t need to because someone is going to tell you about us. Here’s an addendum to that hint: not everyone with real talent is a good person. Be discerning, and respectful of your own inner knowing. If something feels off, that’s because it is.

Q: What are your refund and cancellation policies?

A: I require people to pay upfront, but cancellations before the appointment time are fully refundable. I understand that sometimes rescheduling needs to happen; reschedules are accommodated at no cost/penalty so long as it works with my schedule. I generally try to be flexible about cancellations and reschedules because life (and illness) happens, but I’m only able to be so flexible because I accept payment upfront. Refunds are not given post-session for any reason. Feel free to contact me with any specific questions about my refund and cancellation policies.

Q: I really want to connect with a dead person. Should I book with you?

A: No. It’s something I can do, and some days I do it very well. But I’m not that consistent with this gift yet from an “evidential mediumship” standpoint. I’ve shifted my offerings over the past five years to intuitive channeling (or, “psychic work”) because I’ve needed to focus on the thing I’m excellent at. My goal is to move back toward ancestral mediumship and incorporate it in my work more regularly, but right now it’s not my speciality. If you’re looking for a traditional medium because you want to communicate with someone who’s passed, email me and I can send you to someone I trust.

Q: Are you virtual?

A: Yep! All of my work is currently virtual, via phone or Zoom, so distance isn’t an issue, no matter where you are in the world.

Q: Do you record your sessions?

A: I don’t record the sessions myself and then send them to you. I’m not organized enough to do those extra steps for each session, and I don’t have the security in place on my computer to keep those files as safe as they need to be. However, you are welcome to record the session. You can record it to your computer or can record an audio file. Recording me is fine. I just don’t want to deal with the clerical and security aspects of managing the recordings. I’ve learned the hard way that I’m not very good at keeping up with it.

Q: Can I invite someone else (a close friend, my spouse, my parent) to sit in on my session with you?

A: Please don’t bring anyone else. Not bringing other people is considered one of the only universal standards of etiquette in my profession. It either mucks up the energy (makes my job harder) or just gives me more work to do (because I’m doing multiple readings for one rate with less time). If you’re too scared to see me alone, then you’re not ready to book. If someone doesn’t speak English and needs a translator, I’m happy to make an exception. Email me and we’ll figure it out.

Q: Do you offer couples’ sessions?

A: I know this question seems similar to the one above, but they’re different questions. No, I don’t do couples’ work right now. I don’t think I’m ready for it yet. But I know someone who does. Send me an email and we’ll get you to the right person.

Q: How did you get into this work? When did you first figure out you were psychic?

A: I was your average Pisces child, and in no way a prodigy. I figured out I was psychic at age twenty-five, after being possessed by a dead person while I was living in New Orleans back in 2015. I received an exorcism from a Mexican shaman named Don Pedro, which seemed to flip the switch on the mediumship and psychic ability. It was incredibly fucking weird and traumatizing; I do not recommend it. After going through an apprenticeship period (where you do the work for free as practice), I formally started my business in July of 2017, and went full time January 2019. You can listen to the very weird details of what I call my “origin story” on my friend Bevin’s podcast, Bevin: A Femme Over Forty and her Friends. It’s a killer podcast. I’m featured on episodes 29 and 53.

Q: Where are you from originally?

A: I’m from Tucson, AZ. Aside from a couple sojourns in my twenties, I’ve lived here since 1992. I’m a proud fourth-generation University of Arizona alum.

Q: I want to “get to know you”, but I don’t want to book a session. Can we hang out or go on a date?

A: No. I’m not friends with my clients. Also I’m married.
