Frequently Asked Questions

First, decide how long of a session and what type of reading you would like. Then, contact me by clicking the "Contact" page and reach out via phone or email with the following information Name Phone number Type of reading (in-person or phone) Length of session If phone reading, indicate payment preference as payment is required to reserve a timeslot. Please mention if you are using a GIFT Certificate or Auction Offering. Note: Please do not give me any details before your session regarding the Spirit or information you wish to contact/connect with. I prefer to be a clean slate for your reading.

During the session, I link with the spirit of your loved one(s) who come through with messages. As a medium, I focus on bringing the essence of a loved one's spirit one through (i.e., physical characteristics, personality traits, and messages).   Sometimes, the confirmation of identity happens immediately - there is something the Spirit does or says that lets you know without a doubt that this is your Aunt Margaret or your father. Sometimes, the clues are subtle, and the Spirit's identity remains uncertain until you have time to think about the messages.    You will be allowed to ask questions during our session. Clients often happily report that the Spirit (s) and the info they wanted to link with came through "right off the bat."

Number one: relax. Make sure you are alone in a distraction-free zone during the reading. You will need to focus on the information coming through. Some clients take a walk or meditate before their reading. Some clients prepare a list of questions they would like to ask their Spirit loved ones, but it is not required to have a good reading.

1. Allow the medium (me) to proceed in my way. 2. Evidence comes in many ways: descriptions, relationships, names, specific info, etc.   3. Keep in mind that some information is for later. Welcome the Spirit and info even if you cannot recognize it immediately. Later, you may recall the name, symbol, or situation.   4. The value of a mediumship reading is not measured by prophecy. Passing to the other side doesn't make a spirit all-knowing. Predictions by the Spirit of your loved ones; but you can make changes" Guidance", is the key word.   5. The message is subject to your interpretation. Information provided does not constitute legal, psychological, medical, business, or financial advice. Choices or actions based on the content of your reading are your responsibility.    Expect truth, have patience, be fair, expect good, be willing to verify, and relax.

Yes, with a family member, you can share a more extended session 60 minutes minimum (unless I have previously read for you). However, most of my clients choose to have a private one-on-one session to enjoy a private conversation with their loved ones in Spirit.    I allow up to two immediate family members for an in-person or phone family session. If sharing, I must be able to hear both of you clearly on the phone line.   When scheduling, you MUST indicate how many family members will be attending. Most clients choose to have a private one-on-one session. *Please be aware that another person cannot just "sit in" on your mediumship reading - if they are present in the room, it is also their reading. With family sessions, the time is not spread equally between participants - in fact, your loved ones in Spirit may focus more on one of you than the other.

I offer various time lengths of sessions because different clients have different needs. Each reading and connection between a client and a spirit-loved one is unique. Some clients find the hour session works well for them. Other clients have many questions for a Spirit loved one or general questions you may choose to schedule additional time.

At the time of your phone reading appointment, I will call you, and your session will begin. Ideally, call the phone that will provide the best connection (without static and dropping calls).

Yes, with your reading, you will receive an MP3 recording of your session. After the session, the complimentary audio sound file will be emailed to you. A recording is not guaranteed if there are technical problems in recording. You are also welcome to audio record the session or take notes.

Yes. Although I sometimes discuss readings in general, I won't use your real name in my books, public appearances, lectures, and classes without your permission. You can also provide me with a testimonial, which I can put in the Testimonial section.

This is at your discretion for scheduling another mediumship reading. However, you may schedule teaching/mentoring consultations more frequently.

Many clients enjoy gifting their friends and family with Readings. When you purchase a Reading for a special someone, you can purchase the session and have them contact MaryBeth to book their appointment. When purchasing the Reading, please let MB know if you need a paper or E-gift certificate. Have a special fundraising event? Don't hesitate to contact MaryBeth for information about Silent Auction donations.

If you need to reschedule/cancel, give at least 24 hours notice by calling or texting 949.322.5141. After the 24-hour deadline, the time you booked is yours, and you are responsible or paying for the time slot(s).
