Intuitive Guidance Session Parameters and Information Request

Hello! I'm always delighted to assist someone along their Journey and path through life. There are three ways I do this, and it is your choice as to which way we proceed. While incorporating the Tarot cards offers information in an additional and different way, no way of doing a session is better than the other (although the Tarot sessions are the most requested format). In order for you to receive the most benefit from the session, please choose the way that feels most intuitively comfortable to you.

The Tarot cards are simply informational tools, not “witchcraft”. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking at Rune stones or tea leaves or Tarot cards or splotches of paint – it is not the tool that is important, but rather it is a channel, an avenue, to use to go into the energy of the messages and information available to you at this time. So please choose what format is most comfortable to you. If you feel uncomfortable with the use of the cards (and I certainly respect that), then the free-form or channeled writing format would probably be better for you.

I’ve been asked to say which version is best in connection with asking certain types of questions; honestly, it is up to you. The Tarot sessions are most popular because there’s a lot of information that comes through regardless of which format you choose, but incorporating the cards provides additional information. But a Tarot session is not such that I go down your list of questions and answer them one by one with the cards. I convey the information from the card spread to you in a particular format, and as that occurs, your questions are usually answered. It may come through in bits and pieces but makes the whole “picture” as the session is completed. If one of your questions isn’t specifically answered through the Tarot session, then I address it specifically at the end.

AVAILABLE FORMATS FOR SESSIONS:

1. Use of Tarot cards (I use the Universal Rider-Waite deck), which will provide you with information about themes, issues, belief systems, judgments, and other aspects of your life that may be helping or hindering you in moving forward. As a part of this, we look at the questions and situations and/or choices that you are wondering about. Typically I use a spread of 20 cards, 4 each for past, present and future, and 8 additional cards which are in pairs of 2. This allows a look at the past (within the last 6-12 months typically, but sometimes further back), and how that may be influencing the present; the present; and the future. The 4 pairs offer additional information about themes, either/or situations, a blend of energies/aspects, beginning and ending of a situation or aspect, etc. Although the cards have particular meanings in and of themselves, how they lay out for your spread will be unique to you and therefore their meanings taken separately and together will be personal to you. A session incorporating the Tarot cards typically runs 75-90 minutes. I tape the session (standard cassette tape) but also highly recommend taking notes so you don’t have to listen to the whole tape as often for reminders.

2. Talking in a “free form” style, i.e., you tell me what questions and/or issues you want to explore, and we talk about that. As we talk, information comes through which can be helpful to you in making clearer decisions, can give you a better or different viewpoint and understanding of a situation, can help you let go of what is not serving you, etc. A free form session does not have a typical time frame, as it depends on the number of questions or issues you want to explore. I tape the call so you have a permanent record, and I also highly recommend taking notes so you don’t have to listen to the whole tape as often for reminders.

3. Channeled writing (typing) session, which means you receive a typed transcript afterwards by email or mail, whichever you prefer. We are not on the phone when I’m doing this. After you read the transcript, I ask that you call me for a 10-15 minute discussion to be sure everything is clear to you. I cannot give a time and fee estimate until I see the questions/issues you want me to explore on your behalf. While channeled writing sessions take a little longer (but I do type about 90 wpm so you do get a lot of information), this gives you a permanent written record to refer back to.

Regardless of which way you choose to do this, you will receive information about what is most important to do or look at or work on or release at this time to move forward more easily along your life path. As well, I first call on your guardians, guides, angels, Higher Self, and personal MAP (Medical Assistance Program) team to assist me during the session. I also rely on my intuition as to what you are seeking or in need of most, so that the information that is right and perfect for you to know at this time is imparted to you.

The time estimates I give clients are generally accurate but . . . they are estimates, so the final fee may be higher or lower. Please let me know if there is a time/fee limit you want me to work within. And if so, please put your questions/issues you want to explore in order of importance so I can be sure to get the most important taken care of for you in the time allotted.

Here are some example questions and issues from a few sessions I’ve done, and you can ask anything you like, so these are just examples:

* Where should I look or how should I go about finding my life’s purpose and getting on the correct path?
* Any general information that can be given about what I am doing for a living versus what I could or should be doing?
* What are my gifts?
* What approaches should I take to move forward?
* Why is helping animals so important to me and why is that the very thing that overwhelms me?
* Can you tell me the outcome of continuing my marriage?
* What guidance can be given for handling and getting through my current relationship issue? (Am I with the right person?)
* Dogs need to eat - how can I have a career and still rescue animals?
* Why do I have so much guilt when I think about focusing on me instead of on animal rescue?
* Am I living in the correct location (state etc)?
* Why am I such a slob (clutter) and unable to finish anything that I start?
* What do my guides and angels want me to know right now?
* Will there ever be any level of relationship with my estranged son?
* Can any past lives tell me why this one has been so difficult, if there is a connection between them and this current lifetime?
* What can I do about my weight issue – what type of diet is best for me?
* What do I need to know about this current health issue I’m experiencing?
* Will my financial situation improve?
* Will my job improve/will I get a new job soon?
* Will moving to a new state be good for me, or not a wise decision?
* Is there somewhere else I should live that I perhaps haven’t thought of?
*What about a relationship with that “special someone” – is that in the future? If so, what do I need to know/do to manifest the best relationship possible?

TO SCHEDULE A SESSION, please email the following to me, or you can send by regular mail if you cannot email this (see Contact Information page):

About You:

Full Name
Address including Postal Code
Phone number and time zone (PST, CST, or EST if in North America; if you are outside North America, please include your country code)
Email address
Date of birth

About Loved Ones Whom You'd Like to Ask to Assist with the Session:

If you would like me to call on animal friends, whether living or in spirit, or humans in spirit, to assist with the session, I’m happy to do so. In that case, for each one, please send me:

Their name
Species and breed
Sex
Age (or if they’ve passed over, approximate age at time of passing)
Their relation to you (i.e., your dog, your mom, etc.).

This is not in lieu of a separate communication session with an animal, but rather, we’re asking them to contribute their energies and attention to the session so that it can be as informative and helpful to you as possible. In other words, I would be asking them to participate as a collective group, and not necessarily communicating with each of them individually for messages for you. That being said, if you like, I am happy to ask whichever ones you want messages from what they want you to know at this time in your life. Please be aware that asking them specific questions will add time to the typical session length, and I can’t say whether that would be 5 minutes or 30 minutes (as an example). It depends on how many you want me to ask for specific messages from.

The Issues/Questions You Want to Address:

Please also provide me with a list of the issues or questions you wish to address. You can add additional ones at the start or during the session, but I’d like a ballpark idea beforehand of what you want to look at. Please do not send long descriptions or background information; just a short sentence about each question or issue is all I want to start with. When we do the session, I’ll ask for more specific information from you if and as needed.

The sessions are very detailed, which is why I tape them for you (on standard cassette tapes) (if choosing option 1 or 2 above). I ask that you also have an 8-1/2x11” or larger writing tablet handy, as I highly recommend jotting down key points to keep in mind. I will also make note of specific things to jot down as reminders, as I am being “nudged” to do that by your guides, etc. This allows you to refer back to notes instead of listening to the tapes when you need quick reminders of what to look at, work on, etc.

FEES AND PAYMENT OPTIONS:

My rate is $100/hour. This includes standard cassette tapes of the session (if we're doing this by phone; they are mailed First Class to you) and my calling you if you’re in the U.S. or Canada. If you are outside those areas, I am happy to call you, with an additional fee of the actual per-minute cost to call your country. I have a pretty decent international calling plan. 

Payment can be made by personal check (drawn on a U.S. bank account), U.S. cashier’s check, U.S. money order, PayPal, Visa or Mastercard. Clients located outside the US must pay by credit card or PayPal. Payment is made immediately after the session is completed. (For payment by check, this means mailing it to me within 48 hours of session completion). If you are not familiar with PayPal, it is an Internet billing service which allows for payment directly from a bank account or a credit card. If paying this way, you will need to set up a PayPal account (if you don’t already have one) when I send the invoice to you via PayPal (you must have an email account and Internet access for this form of billing). The instructions for doing so are contained in the bill that comes to you from me via PayPal.

When you send the information and questions for your session, please let me know what form of payment you will be using. If you will be paying by credit card, please email the following information to me when you send me the other information requested above:

Full name on the card
Mailing address that the card statement comes to (which may be different than your home address)
Type of card (Visa or MasterCard)
Expiration Date
3-digit security code on the back

PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER TO ME! At the time we do the session, I will ask you for that.


ONE LAST SUGGESTION . . . WILD EARTH ANIMAL ESSENCES: Please check out the Wild Earth Animal Essences on my site. See the List of Issues page, to help you choose which essences could be most helpful based on the issues, themes or aspects you want to address at a particular time. The Wild Earth Animal Essences are very gentle, yet powerful vibrational essences that can help make adjustments, forward movement, changes etc. easier to do. These essences work on the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of Self. They are made through a ceremonial process of invoking the spirit of the animal into the water; no animal parts are used in the making of these essences. Daniel Mapel, creator of this line, is a wonderful man who has taught people around the world about these essences (most recently in Czechoslovakia!). These essences can also be helpful to animals. He also has a line of children’s essences (I do not carry that line, but can help you contact him about that).

I recommend starting a treatment bottle after your session to help you more easily shift in the direction(s) that are best for you at this time. For more details, please see my site.


EMERGENCIES. Please note that if someone (including you) has an emergency issue with an animal (pending euthanasia, serious and immediate aggression issue, severe injury, etc.) those sessions take priority over others and I may need to reschedule your session to accommodate that client and situation. However, this rarely happens.

If you need additional information or clarification, please contact me. If you call, please tell me what time zone you’re calling from and how late I can call you back.

Wishing you and your loved ones many blessings,
and Namasté,
Kat
