What should I expect from a reading?

Alissa provides psychic readings, medium readings, or more commonly,

a combination of psychic and medium. 

A reading usually feels like a mix of conversation, intuition, and emotional connection. The idea is that Alissa tries to tune into energy—yours, the environment, or your loved ones who have passed—and translate impressions into messages.

What typically happens during a medium reading:

Alissa will start by explaining how she works. She may describe how she receives information—through images, feelings, words, smells or symbolic impressions. This helps you understand the style of communication you might hear.

Alissa will connect with your energy. She may take a moment to “tune in", which might look like quiet focus while connecting to spirit.

To receive messages from loved ones, Alissa practices spirit communication, which allow her to describe a person she senses— it could be personality traits, memories, cause of one's passing, or shared experiences with the loved ones.

Alissa may receive and share details in fragments, and you are usually encouraged to confirm or clarify without giving too much information. 

A psychic reading may provide intuitive guidance from Alissa, and her ability to 'just know' things. This may include:

• Themes in your life (relationships, career, emotional patterns)

• Energies or opportunities around you

• Symbolic messages meant to offer direction or reassurance

• This part is less about prediction and more about your perspective.

‍ ‍You are part of the process

A good reading may: 

• Confirm what resonates

• Answer questions

• Provide clarity

• Offer comfort and impact you emotionally, as it can touch on grief, healing, and connection.

What to keep in mind

• Mediumship is interpretive, not exact. Messages often come through symbols or impressions.

• You’re allowed to have boundaries—if a topic feels too heavy, you can say so.

• A good medium won’t pressure you to believe anything or make big life decisions.

• You should leave feeling respected, not manipulated
