I first started doing Angel Card readings at fairs, markets and charity events, before I even considered selling crystals and other spiritual items. I loved the challenge of meeting a total stranger, sitting down with them for 15 minutes or so – often ‘or so,’ as Spirit don’t work on a timer either! – and bringing comfort, guidance and clarity into their lives. It’s very rewarding to see someone visibly relax and feel lighter as Spirit channel the messages they need, in a small oasis of tranquility in a busy, noisy bar or hotel.

However, a few months ago, all that changed. I went down with a nasty chest infection, and for several weeks I couldn’t work at all. When I was able to go back to the markets, my energy just wasn’t up to doing readings, so I asked friends to fill in for me until I was fully recovered, and I concentrated on giving advice about crystals and talking about energy work and my book, The Soul Cave: It’s Never Too Late to Find Your Power.

My book is available, signed by me, from various events on the Costa Blanca and online or from bookshops around the world

As my recovery continued, I began to feel that maybe there was a reason I wasn’t doing readings at events, although by now I was able to do private readings in clients’ homes. It’s a different dynamic at events though. In the space of three or four hours, up to 10 different people can sit down at the table, and each time you need to connect with their energy and with Spirit to access what they need to know. It’s rewarding, but energetically it’s very taxing. With a private reading, you’re connecting with one person in a calm environment for around an hour, whereas at events, the focus of your energy changes three or four times in the space of an hour, and you also need to shut out the sounds around you.

I decided to ask Spirit if I needed to stop giving readings at events and concentrate on giving advice on crystals and other aspects of working with energy, and the answer was an unequivocal Yes! Financially, that means taking a bit of a hit, as obviously there are no expenses with readings, but for me, working with Spirit isn’t about the money. Yes, I have to make a living, but my purpose is to serve Spirit in whatever way is most beneficial to the people I work with and the Universe in general. If I am called to concentrate on spreading information in public, and keeping the readings private, this is what I must do.

Taking advice from Spirit and my own intuition, I now concentrate on passing on my experience of working with crystals and energy at local events.

I’m telling you this because some people are finding it hard to accept that I am no longer reading at events. Maybe they think it’s just me being awkward, but everything I do is guided by my own intuition and messages from Spirit, and I don’t feel I can go against that if I wish to continue working psychically.

While I’m no longer doing casual readings, I will do everything I can to make sure my clients get the guidance they need. Just a few days ago, I had four people ask for readings. When they said that two of them were flying back to the UK the next day, I agreed to go to their accommodation and read for them the following morning, even though I had a market to attend in the afternoon.

I will always fit in a reading as soon as my schedule allows, because I know that nobody ‘just fancies’ an Angel Card reading. They are drawn to it at a particular time because they need spiritual advice or encouragement, and my purpose is to deliver that. Rest assured that if you come to me and need some advice urgently, Spirit will know and they’ll send you a message there and then, to keep you going until we can arrange a reading for you!

The cost of a private reading in your own home is hardly any more expensive than a casual reading at an event. Check out my prices here and contact me if you’d like a reading at a time to suit your schedule in the privacy and comfort of your own home. And if you can’t get to my events to browse my crystals or ask for advice on any aspect or working with energy, drop me a message and I’ll bring a selection to you with no obligation to buy. Love and blessings.
