CODE OF ETHICS
MY COMMITMENT TO MY CLIENTS
All sessions are confidential and discreet. I honor your privacy and will not share your personal or private information. For educational purposes, I may write about insights from some of my readings, but I will not include any names or private information without your explicit consent. (Please note that Zoom, Skype, WeTransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive, email, texts, and other digital platforms may not be completely confidential platforms, and come with some risks.)
I will not record your reading without permission, and I also expect that you will not record our reading without permission. Neither of us will publish or share any part of a recorded reading without explicit permission.
When I am working with couples or multiple partners, either separately or together, I will not use any information that comes up in one person’s session to shape or influence the guidance in another person’s session. All information comes from your animals or loved ones in spirit, or my guides, and is tailored to you from them.
I do not intend to know or predict the future. Whenever we look into the future, we are working with probability and possibility, not prediction. Everyone has free will, and I encourage all clients to take full responsibility for their lives and the choices they make. I see my role as delivering the information I receive from my guides, or your animals or loved ones in spirit, in order to empower you to make decisions for yourself about what feels right for you.
I honor each person’s unique path and process, and I see my role as holding non-judgmental space for whatever that looks like. I know from my own personal experience that being human can be messy and hard and complicated, and I will not judge you for whatever that looks like for you.
I strive to treat all people with respect and dignity. I treat all people equally without prejudice or discrimination because of sex, gender, race, ethnic background, color, religious affiliation, or sexual preference, or differing opinions than me.
I acknowledge that everyone’s lived experience is not the same. As a white, cis, queer woman, I am committed to continually educating myself about the massive traumatic wake of systemic racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and other systems of thought and behavior that stem from histories of violence and oppression. I am anti-racist and trauma-informed.
I keep the clients’ welfare in mind first. In cases where I feel I cannot serve the client, I advise them honestly and either refund their money or refer them to someone else.
I advise my clients that I am not a licensed therapist, psychiatrist, veterinarian, or medical doctor and therefore do not give diagnoses or psychological counseling. Intuitive sessions are not substitutes for professional, legal, financial, medical, or psychiatric advice or care. Clients are encouraged to please seek the advice of a trained Medical Doctor (or Veterinarian for your animal) about any health concerns.
I do not psychically read for anyone without their explicit consent, and I do not read for anyone who is not present. As relationships are central to our own soul growth, names and information about others’ roles in your life may come up in a session. Any mention of a person in your reading takes place inside your energy and your consciousness—a window into who you are in relation to others. Your reading is about you, the work is always self-work, and any mention of another person is never to be taken as objective truth of that person’s life.
I do not claim 100% accuracy, because no one has or is meant to have all the answers all the time. There is often a larger plan that is not always revealed to us. Also, all intuitive information is a translation, and is filtered through the human form. This means there is always room for error, interpretation, or miscommunication. That said, I strive for accuracy in all my readings and will do my best to describe what I see, hear, feel, sense, and receive as a “download” with the clearest language I can. I also strive to be transparent about my own part in the translation of the images, feelings, words, and knowings that I receive. I encourage you to always check the information that I or any other Intuitive delivers against your own sense of what feels true and right to you. The information is meant to empower you to access your own truth, not give your power away to a source outside yourself, including me.
Finally, I promise to work conscientiously for the greatest and highest good of my clients.
