Start Here if You Have Lost Someone You Love

This page is meant to gently walk you through whether a reading with me is right for you right now, and what to expect if you decide to book.

For the Newly Bereaved

If you are here because someone you love has died, I’m so sorry.

Grief can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and lonely. You may be:

Wondering if your loved one is at peace
Noticing signs and asking yourself if they’re “real”
Struggling with guilt, “what ifs,” or things left unsaid
Feeling like the rest of the world has moved on while you’re still in pieces

You are not alone in any of this, and you are not “too sensitive” or “crazy” for asking these questions. Your love and your grief are real.

My work as a medium is focused on supporting your grief and healing, not predicting your future or telling you how to live your life. I understand loss, trauma, and the weight that comes with both. My intention is to offer a safe, grounded space where you can explore connection with your loved one and find moments of peace in the middle of your grief.

Is a Reading Right for You Right Now?

A session with me may be helpful if:

You feel a deep longing to know your loved one is okay
You’re noticing signs and want to understand them better
You’re struggling with the way things were left, or with unanswered questions
You’re looking for comfort, reassurance, and a sense of continued connection

A reading can bring:

Validation that your bond with your loved one continues
Comfort in knowing they are aware of your life and your love
Support as you move through your grief at your own pace

A reading is not a replacement for professional mental health care, medical care, or crisis support. If you are in acute crisis or having thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to a doctor, therapist, or crisis hotline right away. Your safety and wellbeing matter deeply.

You never “have to” have a reading. It is simply one possible source of comfort and connection as you move through your grief.

What You Can Expect in a Session

In our time together, you can expect:

A respectful, compassionate, and judgment-free environment
Honest communication about what I am receiving—and what I am not
Space for your emotions: tears, laughter, silence, and everything in between
No pressure to believe anything you’re not comfortable with

I cannot guarantee who will come through or what will be shared. The connection depends on many factors. What I can promise is that I will show up with integrity, care, and a deep respect for you, your loved one, and your grief. You are always in control of your experience—you can ask questions, pause, or stop at any time.

If You’re Not Ready Yet

You do not have to be “ready” for a reading to be welcome here.

If you’re still in shock, numb, or simply unsure, that is completely okay. You might choose to:

Visit the FAQs to see common questions from people who are grieving
Follow along with my blog or social media until it feels like the right time

Grief does not follow a schedule. You are allowed to move at your own pace.

Gentle Next Steps

When and if it feels right, you can:

Book an individual reading (30 or 60 minutes, in-person in Dubuque, or by Zoom/phone). If you’re not sure where to start, a 60-minute individual reading is often the most supportive first step.
Explore group readings if you’d like to share the experience up to 10 people, in-person or by Zoom/phone.
Reach out through the contact form if you have questions or want help deciding what type of session is best for you.

You don’t have to walk this part of your journey alone.

Love does not end, and you are not alone in your grief.
