They are an experience that inspires and ignites transformation. When gifting intuitive offerings, we want them to always feel aligned, respectful, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable for your recipient. I put together this short info guide to help you consider and decide upon the perfect gift!

Make Sure They’re Energetically Open
Intuitive work is most impactful when someone is naturally receptive to the guidance. Energetic consent is important. I always want to be sure that my client is open to someone else tapping in to their energy out of respect for their boundaries. I also find that consent enables the most accurate readings to take place. Without energetic consent, readings tend to be more surface level. With consent, readings go deep and get right to the heart of the matter.

Are They Curious?
Your gift should feel aligned with who they are. If they enjoy self discovery, mystery, magic, whimsy, creativity, journaling-- a tarot or aura reading will feel like a perfect extension of something they already love. Intuitive readings are packed with opportunities to reflect and grow. They feel like a hug for the Soul for the seekers and the curious, as well as the highly sensitives and the empaths. The best readings happen when the recipient is curious and open minded.

Their Relationship With Spiritual Tools
Each spiritual practice is as different and unique as the individual. Consider your giftee's personal experiences and beliefs. Interests adjacent to tarot readings or aura paintings are things like astrology, mediumship, psychic development, yoga, or the Akashic records, for example. I also find readings to be a wonderful companion to therapy.
That said, even skeptics have found my readings to be inspiring, eye-opening, and accurate. Just check in with your loved one to see that they are curious or open to the experience before booking. Whether your recipient prefers down-to-earth practical insight or a more symbolic, creative reading, I can adjust the style to meet them where they’re at.

Timing: What Are They Moving Through?
We don’t need a special occasion to receive an intuitive reading. However, receiving a reading at certain moments or milestones can be incredibly impactful. Maybe your recipient has started a new job, entered a new relationship, experienced a big move, or they're in a period of rebirth. Perhaps they simply are not sure what could be next for them, or they feel stuck in one place. The right timing really makes a reading priceless.

Privacy
Some individuals prefer to explore their intuitive readings on their own. A distance reading can be sent directly to the recipient’s e-mail or home. This is a wonderful option if they tend to be more private about their spirituality or personal life.

Emotional Readiness
A reading should always feel like an invitation, not a hint. Gift a session because you want to celebrate them, rather than because you feel they ‘need guidance’.

The Element of Surprise
With consideration to the prior section, there is still a way to preserve the magic of a surprise for your loved one! You could get their energetic consent without giving away the gift by mentioning what you’d like to get for them. Try bringing up in conversation something like, “I want to get you something to bring you a little spark of magic and self care through intuitive insights”. Or you could try, “Would you ever get a tarot reading/aura reading?” If they’re into it, great! This is confirmation that you've found the perfect gift!

Leave A Personal Message
Make your gift feel even more personal by leaving a message for them that I can be sent along with their reading! This should come from the heart. Some example ideas: “You bring magic into my life. Here’s some magic in return!” Or, “You are always so supportive and caring, I hope this reading brings you the same!” Feel welcome to include inside jokes and heartfelt words.

Make It A Shared Experience
Diving into personal readings with your bestie or a group of loved ones is a special memorable experience. I have witnessed the beautiful heart to heart connections made while clients sit in on their friend’s or family member’s reading. With distance readings, you can make it a special occasion by reading them together. Local clients can reach out to me directly to book a home visit or to meet up at a local business (based in Southern Maine). Even when recipients prefer not to share all the details of their reading, they still make a fun and meaningful discussion. When clients share readings with one another, it offers an opportunity to bond, showing each individual what is special and loveable about them!

How To Decide Which Offering To Gift
A Tarot Reading is wonderful for introspective thinkers and anyone moving through change. This is a good choice for decision making, seeing future possibilities, or revealing information being overlooked. Tarot brings clarity and is thought provoking. Messages with the cards tend to be more straight-forward, with practical steps you can take to bring about the future outcomes you'd like to see. Tarot FAQ
An Aura Painting is wonderful for creatives, visual learners, or anyone who loves color and energy. These are a beautiful experience of self discovery and self understanding. This style of reading tends tap into Soul's gifts and bring awareness to patterns that might be working against them, so they can make positive shifts. Messages with an aura painting are layered, abstract, symbolic, and evolve over time to bring new messages as they gain the distance of time. Aura FAQ // Find even more about auras here!

What A Gifted Reading Includes
Most clients prefer to gift a distance reading, because their recipient can return to it over time and continue to get value out of it. This option includes a detailed PDF write up of messages and insights that come through in their session, along with a photo of their cards or their aura painting (depending on which style reading is chosen). Their reading can be e-mailed or sent physically by mail, with tracking.
I offer two tiers for any distance Tarot or Aura reading:
The first option is 20 minutes of intuitive channeling, with around 3-4 or more pages of typed information. View Tarot // View Aura
The second option is 45 minutes of intuitive channeling, with around 5-8 or more pages of typed information. View Tarot // View Aura

How To Book A Reading As A Gift
When booking a reading for your loved one, there are a few things to fill out. I will need their first name or nickname. You will decide the length of the reading and the delivery method. For aura paintings, a simple photo of the recipient is required. This can be a recent selfie or a photo of their dominant hand. I use this photo to tune into their auric field.
Whether you choose a tarot reading or an aura painting, you will see an Inquiry box when booking. This is important especially when gifting a reading as it sets the tone of the session. Are you looking to provide clarity and wisdom? Would you like the reading to be uplifting and inspiring? Are they in need of guidance in a certain area of their life? Or do they simply need a moment of calm reflection? My readings can always be tailored to their needs. Feel welcome to ask a specific question, or let me know why you are seeking a reading for your loved one!
If you would like to add a personalized note, this can be done on the checkout page.
