So, how does this work?
In order to establish a baseline, I prefer to have each of my clients start with an initial astrology consult.  

After that, everyone is a bit different. I sometimes see people for whom the initial astrology reading is enough. Others come back and visit me quarterly or yearly for updates. Still others prefer to do ongoing work in a more frequently recurring manner, and I have clients that I see weekly, bimonthly and monthly. Sometimes they are looking for ongoing soul-centric coaching, are wanting to delve into specific topics as reflected by their chart; want astrological mentoring; or are interested in having the combined insight of astrology, tarot and dream work as they go through life passages. I can accommodate all of those things. Somatic Exploration sessions are another tool we can use for patterns that feel very stuck, additional insight, and some of the most cathartic healing available.

Can I come to see you for therapy?
I am not a licensed therapist, nor am I trained in clinical psychology. Although I have a master’s degree in psychology and spirituality, I chose not to pursue licensure for many reasons. I do have many clients who come for sessions weekly or bimonthly for sessions that somewhat resemble what conventional therapy looks like. These sessions make use of my master’s degree, my certificates in psychosynthesis coaching and integrative somatic parts work as well as my many years of experience. A few things to note: You will not be able to bill your insurance; I do not and cannot diagnose, although I will respect existing diagnoses; I will refer you to a licensed therapist or other trained professionals if/as needed.

Do you still do stand alone tarot readings?
I do tarot readings for existing clients as part of the “ongoing consults” deal.

What information do you need for astrological services?
I need your birth date, time and place. Exact time of birth is important, cuz the sky moves all the time. After 1973, it’s pretty standard to find it on your birth certificate. If a birth certificate time isn’t available, sometimes a family member’s memory will work.  If you do not have access to an accurate birth time, I am still able to give you a good deal of information, just let me know.

What is the best option if I want regular support?
You can subscribe to my Patreon campaign for monthly support. Options range from $5-100/month. I recommend the $20 level if you want personal support, help learning astrology and the ability to ask questions via email (you’ll also get a one on one session with me every four months). The $100 level gives you a monthly session and is my lowest available rate for ongoing work. You also get a bunch of other great stuff. Otherwise, once you have had an initial consult you are eligible for ongoing consultations at whatever interval works best for you.

Do we need to meet in person?
As of Spring 2020, I am only seeing clients over Zoom. Phone is also an option, but will not be recorded.

Where are you located?
I am based out of sunny Seattle, WA.

What type of payment do you accept?
All sessions are paid for at the time of booking through Acuity’s payment processor. If you need alternate arrangements, please contact me.

How do I know where I fall on your sliding scale?
I use a sliding fee scale for initial and ongoing consults as well as many of my various classes. The true cost of the session is in the middle of the scale. Anything above goes to support my ability to continue providing sliding scale services. I will never ask for proof of income but instead rely on your ability to honestly contribute. One way of conceptualizing sliding fee scales can be imagined with the following image below.

Do you have a cancellation/refunds policy?
I do! You’ll also read the policy when you schedule a session. In general, your session is non-refundable more than 48 hours after you book it. It can be transferred to a later date as long as it is rescheduled more than 48 hours in advance. If you need to cancel within that 48 hour window, your session can be transferred to a future date at my discretion, but a $25 fee will be added and full payment will be due in advance. Please understand that I only get paid when people show up for appointments, so late cancellations mean I have a vacant spot and low likelihood of rebooking in a short period of time, leading to loss of income.

No-shows, late-shows(more than 10 minutes) and last minute (within an hour) cancellations are 100% non-refundable and non-transferable.

What if I’m running late for my appointment?
If you let me know you are running late before your session start time, I will flex 10 minutes if I am able to.  If not, we will meet for whatever amount of time is remaining in your session when you arrive, and full payment must still be made. If you are more than 10 minutes late, your session will be considered a last minute cancellation, and will be forfeit.

Are you a licensed therapist?
I am not. This also means I do not take insurance. To see my qualifications please go here and scroll down.

Do I have to talk about apocalypse in my session?
You sure don’t!

Can I come see you just once?
Of course. Some people come see me for one tarot or astrology reading. Often times, however, people check back in with me at various frequencies – once a month, once a quarter, twice a year – there are no rules. You might find, however, that your initial astrology reading opens a world of possibilities, and my favorite way of working with people is over time to unlock these gifts.

How can I prepare for a session?
I love starting with intention: so it can be helpful to reflect on what you’d like to get out of the session and let me know at the beginning. Other than that, be somewhere where you won’t be interrupted if you can. Take a moment to ground and center. Get excited. Somatic & DMP sessions have specific preparation you will receive when you book.

Will I get a recording?
If you’d like one, yes. I upload recordings to Dropbox and host them for you for 6 months.

What if I’m not sure you’re the person I’d like to work with?
I encourage you to check out any of my many available podcasts, videos and instagram posts to see if you pick up what I’m putting down.
