are sessions done in person?

Nope! All sessions are conducted via Zoom and recorded. The recordings are sent to you via email for you to download and keep forever!

What happens after I book my Session?

Once you book your session, you will receive an email to schedule your session with Vanessa. If you’ve booked any of the Akashic Records sessions, Vanessa will prepare your reading between the time of booking and the date your session is scheduled for. Because Vanessa begins working inside your Akashic Record upon booking, no refunds will be issued if you choose to cancel your session within a 72-hour window of your scheduled date.

how long are sessions?

Length of time for sessions vary depending on the type of session booked. Most astrology readings will be 1-1.25 hours long, while Akashic Records sessions are around 1.5 hours long.

What is a “clearing”?

For Akashic Records readings that include an energetic clearing, Vanessa will perform clearing energy work in your Akashic Record. A clearing wipes your Akashic Record clean, restoring your Divine Soul Blueprint to its original state, at the instance of your Soul’s creation from Divine Source (see the Akashic Records section for more information about you soul blueprint).

Clearings happen at the energetic/etheric level. It’s as if your soul blueprint goes from having gray spots and holes, to being a fully restored template of beaming white luminescent light! A clearing allows ease in you breaking free from your negative patterns and programming currently affecting you in the physical realm. A Record, once cleared, stays cleared. However, it’s important to understand that no amount of energy work will “do the work for you.” Even with a clearing, it is still up to you to make the new positive choices in your life so that the clearing work “sticks.”

What is Karma?

It’s a bitch! Ha, just kidding.

Karma is the Universal Law of choice and consequence. Laws of physics state that for every action in nature, there must an equal and opposite reaction. Karma is precisely this law. You are a being with free will to make choices. You make choices every moment of your life, whether you’re aware (conscious) of it or not. Every you choice you make leads to a consequence that has a direct correlation and resonance to that choice. Choosing to eat healthy foods leads to the consequence of a healthy body; choosing to take a shower has the consequence of a clean and fresh-smelling body.

Every time you make a choice, a karmic connection to that choice is created and you now must live in the consequence of that choice. Karma stays with you through lifetimes. Thus, we are often living in the karmic consequences of not only our present life’s past choices, but also our past lives’ past choices. Making new “positive” choices in your life leads to the creation of new “positive” consequences in your life, thus manifesting your desired outcome rather than living stuck in old patterns you’d rather break free from.

What are “positive” and “negative” choices?

When you book a session with Vanessa, you will often hear her provide guidance on what “positive” and “negative” choices are for you. Neither choice is necessarily “good” or “bad” choice. The concept of “good” and “bad” is a human-made judgment (which doesn’t make it wrong or bad!). Ultimately, nothing is either bad or good, we are the ones who ascribe those labels to situations. This is an important distinction to make when bringing in an understanding of what constitute positive and negative choices.

A positive choice is merely a choice that is in alignment with who you are at soul-level, while a negative choice is a choice that is NOT in alignment with who you are at soul level.

Each Soul is unique, with a unique soul blueprint specific to each. Thus, what is a positive choice for one soul is not necessarily positive for another and vice versa. Making positive choices leads to the clearing of negative karma and thus the creation of desired karmic consequences in your life. On the contrary, making negative choices leads to the creation of negative karma in your life, thus leading to undesired consequences in your life. Negative choices usually perpetuate negative patterns, though they can certainly be choices that create new negative karma!

What if I don’t believe in past lives or reincarnation? Is this work for me?

Absolutely! Regardless of whether you believe in karma or not, the Law of Karma exists. (see FAQ above about what karma is for more info). If you shift your perception of this work as understanding that everything in your life must have an equal reaction to the action you take, then you’ll have an easier time getting past your disbelief in reincarnation. You can simply take the information as a reading on what the energy behind your current choices are and leave all the past life stuff out of the question.

Nonetheless, we invite you to keep an open mind about the possibility of knowing yourself to unexplored-before levels. Once you begin implementing new positive choices in your life, the work will speak for itself and perhaps then you’ll become a believer!

What should I expect before, during, and after the session?

The key with your work with Vanessa is to keep an open mind. Having certain expectations will likely lead to disappointment.

With that said, it’s important to come into the session with a clear intention about what you wish to create and have happen in your life, ideally in the next 6 months after your session. Beforehand, expect to be held and walked through the process. Expect to have your questions addressed as reasonably possible. You can also expect to receive honest feedback and guidance from Vanessa. There is no room for sugar-coating in this work and that’s what makes it powerful (and also what sets Vanessa apart from a lot of psychics). Please check your curiosities at the door since those only breed more curiosity and uncertainty in your life. Some of the information and guidance might trigger you, but know that Vanessa is always coming from an unconditionally loving space and she is great at holding space for all your shadows and ego (she knows shadows too well).

Oftentimes you’ll find that the magic and mystery of this work sets in AFTER the session during your integration process, especially if there’s clearing work involved. After the session, you might find yourself with a lot of your comfort zones being blasted away resulting in upheaval in your life. THIS IS A GOOD THING! Destruction breeds creation and whatever is falling out of alignment in your life is simply evidence that your work with Vanessa is working!

Trust the process, be easy with yourself. You got this!

Is there anything I need to do to prepare for a session?

Yes, though not much. Make sure you are very clear and intentional about what you want to create in your life. The more specific and intentional you are with your reasons for seeking a session, the more profound, accurate, and impactful the session will be.
