Say What?!
The world of psychic mediumship and spirituality can be unfamiliar and misunderstood by many. This page contains some of the most widely asked questions and answers to put your mind at ease.
Can you see and hear what I am doing any time you want?
No. I cannot see or hear living people. I will only connect with your energy with your consent. I will be presented with information by my guides using symbols and imagery that makes sense to me. I use my senses in my body as well as my Clairs to interpret the message.
What are Clairs?
As humans, we have 5 senses to decipher the world around us. As someone with psychic abilities I have additional senses that I use to decipher the spirit world. These are called the Clairs, otherwise known as Clairvoyant (seeing), Clairsentient (feeling), Clairaudience (hearing), Claircognizant (knowing) and Clairsalient (smell).
Will I see, feel or hear anything during our reading?
During a reading or meditation, it's possible to see, sense, or hear various sensations. You may feel hot or cold, tingly or tight. You might also perceive a bright white light or other colors. If you are sensitive to energy, an empath, or very open, you may experience different sensations during your session.
Why do people seek psychic readings?
Some people do it for fun to see what the cards and spirit might say, some people are genuinely confused, or stuck with a problem or circumstance in life and are too close to the problem to objectively resolve it. Some people have a hard time listening to their own soul and intuition and a medium can help validate and confirm what they already know to be true. A reading can help you make informed decisions in alignment with your best path forward.
How often can I have a reading done?
You can have a reading done as often as you like, however there is likely to be little to no new insights or information if you consult the oracle too frequently. In general, we recommend allowing one, full, moon cycle to pass between readings, but if you are making a lot of progress or going through a lot of changes quickly, then a weekly reading can be done to validate that the actions you’re taking are leading to your desired outcome.
As a psychic, can you see the future?
Dawn sees the future as a shimmering web of possibility—each choice a glistening thread. With the gift to glimpse what lies ahead, she knows fate is not fixed. Free will guides us through life’s unfolding story, where every step leads to new paths. In this sacred dance, we are both creators and witnesses of our own becoming.
I’m nervous about connecting with a deceased loved one. Will it be scary?
Evil cannot come in unless invited. In addition to performing an energetic clearing, I will also set an intention at the start of the reading or channeling for your spirit guides and loved one(s) to come through with evidence and healing messages that are for your highest and best good.
How do you know the things you share?
The information comes to me by opening myself up to the spirit world. Sometimes, the messages or emotions that come make no sense to me, but they will make sense to the sitter. I am like a conduit that the spirits use to communicate through. I deliver the message in a way that is empathetic and considerate. The exact words will come at the time of the reading in a way that is received gently by the sitter.
How do you know it’s really my loved one that is giving you messages?
Evidence shown to me by spirit and confirmed by you, the sitter, allows us both to trust in the divine and feel safe in the comfort and knowledge that it really is your loved one.
I ask Spirit to show me at least 3 pieces of clear evidence that we can use to validate their identity and presence. Sometimes I can feel their energy and sometimes I can see their physical appearance in my third eye.
Will my loved ones always come through when channeling?
There are no guarantees that a specific person will appear during the reading. But I will try to connect with them. Some spirits are better at communicating than others and some prefer to connect with certain mediums.
As a medium, I am like a radio antenna and tune into the frequency of where your spirits are broadcasting from to connect with and hear them.
Usually, I begin tuning in before our meeting and the information I am shown will be used to validate who is trying to communicate with you before we try to tune into any specific loved ones. Sometimes, the spirits that want to communicate with you are the same ones you're hoping to connect with.
Can I book now and pay after my reading?
I do require payment at the time of booking and offer a variety of secure payment channels to complete your booking. You can pay via PayPal, Credit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or via e-transfer. Contact me to book if you'd like to use e-transfer as your payment method. I also offer a full refund with at least 24 hours notice if you change your mind for any reason or find yourself unable to attend.
Do you offer in person readings?
Yes, when you make your booking you will have the option to select your preferred method of reading - either in person or online. You can also choose to have your reading in person at your location or onsite at Swan Lake Spiritual.
Be aware that all readings booked will automatically come with a Zoom link - this is only used in the event that you chose a virtual reading or if you or I are unable to meet in person due to illness etc.
