On 6/24/25, I was guided to create and launch a new service titled Adjacent Readings!

I felt a surge of inspiration yesterday morning and so I pulled out my tarot deck, flipped cards, scribbled the intuiting, and I was living in memory from yesteryear.
Adjacent Readings are very similar to when I used to do parties back when I first began my practice. However, this new service is different which is why I named the service something other than parties.
Back in the day, parties would be 15 to 20 minute readings. I didn't have a limit on how much I would read. I would allow the guests to drink alcohol and I'd read however many people the host wanted to invite. Sometimes I would be hired to do this type of service at bars too.
Parties taught me a lot about PSI Mechanics and my limitations. I also learned a lot about the environment to read in where XYZ worked well and where XYZ did not provide the optimal environment. Parties also reinforced the need for me to develop healthy boundaries and to stick up for myself since some guests (especially involving alcohol) were very rude to me which is probably why I discontinued doing parties.
I intend for Adjacent Readings to be an opportunity for a gathering of friends and family to have me read for everyone individually so I may help everyone using my skills - to be a Tool. This service is not a source of entertainment as in I'm at a space to do party tricks.
I met and read for great people who are still clients to do this day! This is why I feel like it would be an excellent time to have a service similar to what I used to do.
Now! There are benefits to schedule Adjacent Readings.
1) The readings are priced less than the standard fee if you were to schedule a "normal" reading.
2) Clients can chat about their readings with their friends and family, share their experiences, and be with one another for a special occasion.
3) Clients can schedule back-to-back readings. This is the only service where this is possible since my normal readings have buffers in-between readings or can only have one reading schedule for the day.
4) Clients do not need to be in the same location. Zoom is a wonderful tool so the group can take advantage of this service to get a discounted reading, be in separate locations, and receive the benefits of a reading.
I limit Adjacent Readings to just 2 hours. I want to ensure that I give every person a quality reading and I learned that if I read for more than 2 hours at a time then the quality diminishes since readings require a lot of my energy. There is a 2 hour commitment to Adjacent Readings so there has to be a minimum of 2 people to schedule and each person would then get a 60 minute reading.
As per the service's page, I do have a strict No Alcohol Policy just like with my Group Mediumship Readings. As mentioned above, I do not want this to be a "party trick" type of setting and some of the worst people I've met doing this work were due to their words and actions while under the influence of alcohol. You can serve your guests alcohol after I leave. I suggest you have tea, coffee, dessert, snacks, and the like if you have an in-person gathering. I also want to respect the Spirits who passed away from substance abuse as well as the friends and family dealing with the consequences of a loved one's substance abuse. I'm not a bartender, this service isn't a party, and I want to provide a quality service with an intention to help.
You can always email me if you have any questions. I think this service is easy to understand how it operates. I'm in a separate room to read in and I read everyone one at a time. Guests can show up whenever they want even if it is just to come to the location at their reading's time and then leave. With Zoom, the computer could be set in a separate room if you're having your guests over or it can just be everyone is to log into the meeting at their reading's time while everyone is in their own space.
Basically, Adjacent Readings are just back-to-back readings. You can either structure this service around a gathering of people or it can be for those who want readings and wish to use this service for the reduced price compared to standard readings.
I do recommend that everyone who joins desires a reading. Forcing people is not ideal. I recommend every person to read The Experience page - to learn about how I can actually help involving the reality of what PSI is. Desires and Intentions must align with my practice so every guest can get the most benefits of a reading.
