Frequently

Alvarez
Due
to the volume of
requests that I'm
currently receiving
I've had to extend
my response time to
a maximum of one
week (seven days
from the order
date). You might get
your reading within
an hour after
requesting it, then
again, it might be
the full seven days.
The turnaround time
depends on how many
orders I have
waiting in line when
your order is
placed. I do my best
to get the orders
out as quickly as
possible so you
don't have to wait
long but I also need
time between
sessions so that
each is clear.
I
do not do readings
on the weekends or
major holidays.
Doing readings is
something I do in my
spare time. I have a
family, children,
horses and dogs that
take up a LOT of my
time. I'm also a
full time author and
write both
nonfiction and
fiction and am quite
frequently under
deadline. I'm also a
graphic designer.
That's why you may
visit the site to
find that I've
turned off the cart.
When I'm under
deadlines, have sick
kids or just too
much on my plate, I
stop doing readings
temporarily.
There
are a lot of people
who don't understand
my schedule and
expect their reading
immediately. Those
people I refund
immediately because
I simply cannot
adhere to the
schedules of
everyone that I read
for but have to work
around my own
schedule. So, if you
understand that you
may have to wait the
full seven days
before you receive
the reading from me,
or you may get it in
the next hour, and
you're willing to
wait if necessary,
then I'd love to
read for you. If you
don't get that I
have a life and that
family comes first,
then I'm not the
right intuitive for
you.
I accept Master
Card, Visa, American
Express and Discover
through PayPal which
is a secure online
credit card
processing center.
Just send me an
email and tell me
that you want to
cancel. If I haven't
started your reading
then I'll refund
your money. I always
check my email prior
to doing a reading
to make sure you
haven't decided to
cancel. However, if
you decided to
cancel after I've
done your reading,
then your credit
card will still be
charged. Please make
positively sure that
you want the reading
prior to ordering it
and that you are
using your own
credit card and that
all the information
is correct.
I want to ask a
question about
someone else. Will
you read them for
me?
No. Would you want
an intuitive to read
you for someone
else, telling them
things about you
without your
knowledge? I
wouldn't and that's
why I will not read
someone else without
their permission.
It's not ethical in
my opinion. When you
order a reading the
reading is for you
and you alone. I
read situations from
your point of
view. This
includes parents and
children. If a
parent orders a
reading and wants
information about
their child,
regardless of the
child's age, I will
not do the reading
but will refund your
money. If you are
asking a question
that concerns what
you can do to have a
better relationship
with your child -
then that's a
question about you
and I can answer
that. I am very
strict about this
policy so don't ask
me about your
boyfriend, husband,
girlfriend, aunt,
uncle, child or
friend. If they'd
like to have a
reading done I'd be
happy to read for
them but I'm not
going to look into
their life because
someone else is
being nosey. Thanks
for understanding
about this.
I believe in God and
am a Christian. I
also believe that
the Universe works
in ways to help us.
I have since I was a
child. I believe
that my abilities
are a gift from God
and that He uses me
to help people.
Otherwise, I
wouldn't be doing
this. I also believe
that there are
negative forces out
there and you have
to be careful.
That's why, when I
do a reading, I
surround myself in
God's protective
light and ask him to
keep all negative
energies away from
me.
It
doesn't now. I still
have some things
happen that make me
uncomfortable but
that's few and far
between. When I
first began learning
about my abilities I
was scared to death
almost all of the
time because I
didn't know how to
deal with what was
happening. I mean,
when you dream of a
woman who needs help
and then see her
dead body the next
day on a school
field trip to the
morgue you will get
freaked out! But
when that same woman
comes back to you
that night and
thanks you for
helping her, then
it's all worth it
and you feel less
afraid. I have lost
my fear through lots
of research and the
fact that things
happen with me on a
daily basis. When it
happens all the time
you get used to it.
It took me a while
to become clear and
centered with my
abilities. That's
why I did only free
readings for so many
years. But now I
feel completely at
home and confident
with my abilities
now and know that it
all happens for a
reason. I'm just
glad I'm able to
help others with
this ability.

Yes,
I do. I feel
everyone has
intuitive abilities,
they just need to
open up to the
possibilities. Some
of us are more in
tune than others.
I'm publishing a
book on this very
thing later this
year. If you'd like
one-on-one help I
currently offer a
mentoring program.

I
love to get feedback
on my readings and
sessions whether it
is positive or
negative. Your
responses let me
know if my abilities
are on track or not.
Just complete the
feedback form or
email me with your
thoughts. Since I
began working online
I've never had
anyone tell me that
I was completely off
base. I've had them
tell me that some
aspect of the
reading didn't apply
but 9 times out of
10 I received an
email later on
saying that what
they thought didn't
apply had actually
happened. However, I
wouldn't have known
this if the people I
read for hadn't told
me. My accuracy
level is around 95%
based on my clients
feedback. No
intuitive is right
100% of the time,
I'll be the first
one to tell you
that, and if they
say they are then
don't have a reading
done with them.
Back to Top
I
don't put a limit on
how much interaction
you can have with me
but I don't think
that anyone should
get dependent on
readings or sessions
for their daily
routine nor should
they base important
life decisions
strictly based on
what anyone else
says to them. Use
common sense. I
don't try to get you
to buy one reading
or session after
another like some
people do nor do I
give you a negative
information just to
say that I can help
you if you order
again. That's just
wrong and when
people tell you that
they're not for real
but are trying to
rip you off. To me,
it's about helping
not making money.
Therefore, if I feel
that someone is
becoming dependent
on my guidance I
will discuss the
matter with them and
have them wait a
while before
purchasing another
reading or session.

First
you should relax
then clear your mind
and focus on your
question and the
situation
surrounding your
situation. Then
imagine the energy
that you have
created flowing into
the computer screen.
Focus the energy
into the screen
detaching it from
yourself, then
release it while
imagining that it is
traveling to me.
That's it!
For best results
from your reading or
session I do ask
that you follow
these guidelines:
1. Request a reading
with an open mind.
No intuitive on this
earth is 100% right
and although we may
be very accurate not
everything is going
to be perfectly
matched to your
life. I will not
have every answer
that you are looking
for but I may have
several that will
help you. God gave
us all free will and
it is up to us to do
with our lives as we
see fit. I can't fix
all of your life's
problems, nor can
anyone else, but I
can offer the
impressions that I
receive as possible
solutions.
Ultimately, it's all
up to you and how
you react to your
situation and the
decisions you make
in your life. Your
destiny is in your
control. It's your
choice as to how you
will use the
information you
receive during your
reading or session,
whether that means
keeping it or
discarding it.
2. Remember that
some of the things
that I receive may
not be happening
right at this
specific moment in
your life, but I am
being given the
information because
you are supposed to
have it. It could be
an event that will
be coming up in your
future or what I am
seeing may be a
variation of a
situation you're
currently
experiencing. For
instance - I may see
you looking for a
new car and I see it
as white when you
are actually looking
for a tan car. The
fact is you are
looking for a car -
right? Or you may be
looking for a new
job and I see you
working as an
attorney. But you're
a secretary at a
doctor's office and
have no interest in
the legal field. So
you think this could
never apply to you.
But say in six
months the doctor
moves to another
state and closes his
office and you are
offered a position
as a paralegal in an
attorney's office?
Well, that part of
your reading didn't
apply to you six
months ago but it
sure applies now
doesn't it? Those
are the kind of
things I'm talking
about and why it's
important to keep an
open mind.
3. Don't try to
purposefully trick
me just to prove me
wrong. What good is
that going to do?
Make you feel proud
so you can call me a
fake? That's ok if
you want to have an
attitude like that
but if that is your
attitude I am
requesting that you
do not order a
reading from me. As
I have just said -
there are no
psychics that are
100% accurate. Only
God is that
accurate. If you
come into the
reading or session
with a closed mind
thinking that I'm
going to be wrong
then you are
blocking your
vibrational energy
and it makes it
harder for me to do
your reading or
session.
4. Don't expect me
to tell you only
what you want to
hear. I will give
you all the
information that I
receive because I
feel that is my
duty. I don't think
that I would be
given the
information if it is
not important and
relevant to your
life. I made an
agreement with
myself many years
ago that I would
tell everything that
I received even if
the information
isn't that great. I
can only be true to
myself and my gift
by being truthful
and honest with you
and I believe that
this is how God
wants me to relay
this gift.
5. Enjoy your
reading or session,
print it out if it's
through email and
save it for future
reference. And if
you feel that I was
of help to you then
send me an email or
come back and see me
again in the future.

You will receive all of the impressions that I receive. Sometimes I receive information that may not have anything to do with the question that you ask. If this extra information is sent to me, I'll include it
anyway. I will not edit the information I
receive. You'll get everything in the order that I receive it. I believe that all information that I receive is important to you although it may make absolutely no sense to me and maybe not to you at the time. However, I've had many people email me back to say that things that I had told them have happened even though they thought it impossible at the time of the
reading or session. So I inform you of everything that I receive. I do not put a time limit on my readings, or a word count on what I'll send back to you, nor do I charge by the minute. If a reading takes five minutes and six sentences to answer then it takes five minutes and six sentences - if it take three hours and
twenty pages then it takes three hours and
twenty pages. I believe that I will only be given the information that you're supposed to receive at the time I do the
reading or session.

You know, living in the Bible belt I have found that a lot of people feel this way about you if you admit that you are
intuitive in any way, shape or form. I am a Christian, I believe in God, and even though I tell people this I still get the above statements from people, either directly or indirectly in the way that they act to me after they find out about my
abilities and beliefs. They may think I don't know but - being
clairvoyant - I do. I believe that when people don't understand something they have to ridicule and condemn it as evil. I don't consider myself evil, and I definitely don't practice or believe in anything that's evil.
I know there is evil out there because you see it every day in the news and you see it in the actions of people around you. I believe that these kind of statements are just the ignorance of people who are afraid of things they just don't understand and who choose not to educate themselves and keep an open mind about things or about people who are different than they are. I never asked for this ability
(but I planned it on the Other Side) - so it
feels as if it was just placed upon me and I had to learn to deal with it, which wasn't very easy at all.

This is not a
computer generated
reading. I actually
sit down and do a
private reading just
for you. I also
don't have several
people sitting here
pretending to be me
and giving you a
reading. I do all
the readings myself
and use the gift
that God gave me.
Every reading is
unique to the
individual that I am
reading for and is
not just some form
letter reading. I
don't believe that
you can benefit from
a reading like that
and who wants to pay
for something that
isn't specifically
for them? I know I
wouldn't.
Back to Top
I am confused about
something in my
reading. Will you
clarify it at no
additional charge?
I will clarify
anything that
confused you, at no
additional charge,
within reason. When
I get impressions I
type so fast that I
can sometimes be
unclear just because
of the way I phrased
a sentence. So I
don't mind clearing
up something you
didn't understand -
once. However, I
have had people
email me again and
again saying that
they are unclear
about the same thing
that I already
clarified. My
opinion is that they
are just looking for
a different answer.
I will not clarify a
question more than
once nor will I
change my reading to
please you. My
original impression
is what I stick with
and I don't change
things just because
you wished it was
different. I'm sorry
but I must remain
true to myself and
my gift.

Why do I have to
complete the
DISCLAIMER, RELEASE
& CONFIDENTIALITY
READING REQUEST FORM
before I can order a
reading?
I
have had a disclaimer of liability on my site since I launched it in 1994 because too often people will substitute what they receive during a
intuitive reading or spiritual coaching
session in lieu of going to a medical professional to seek advice. I do not do medical readings for this
reason and because I am not a medical
doctor.
I believe that everyone has free will and that we can change our fates at any time based upon the decisions that we make on a daily basis. Most of us follow the path of least resistance and that is why reputable
intuitives can pick up on possible paths of the situations that are in a person's life. I always refer to what I sense as a possible path because it is not an absolute path. You always have free will and by using your own free will during your daily life you can change the outcome of what I see during the reading. My readings are to guide you as you make your way down this path we call life but ultimately control of your life is in your hands. The impressions that I receive during a reading are to guide you on this path and are not intended to be blindly followed.
In order to ensure that those I read for understand and are fully aware that they have free will and complete control over their lives, I require that everyone electronically sign the Disclaimer, Release & Confidentiality Reading Request Form before I'll read for them. This form is also to legally protect me. I offer readings as a service to help others and in my readings I only give you what it possible or likely to happen based upon where your energy is at the time of the reading. Your decisions can change this. I
feel that if someone is supposed to get a reading with me then they will find me on the web. I do not make my living from the readings but make my living through other businesses that I own, and am very ethical in how I deliver my readings
and how I conduct sessions and I keep
everything strictly confidential. In return, I only ask that you enter into the reading
or session with and open mind and with a complete understanding of what the reading is and isn't as outlined in the release form. By asking you to complete this form I am ensured that you understand that you are in control of your life. It can be signed and mailed to me or signed by typing an electronic signature which is legal and will hold up in a court of law. And that is why a signed release form is mandatory for every reading that I do. If it bothers you that I ask for a release form then I would prefer that you don't order a reading
or session with me.
