Frequently asked questions

If you're curious about how to prepare for a reading, what happens during the session, or what to expect afterward, you'll find helpful answers to frequently asked questions below. In case you're unsure about Bill's process, feel free to ask. He and his team are always happy to answer any queries regarding the reading process and make you feel comfortable.

How do I schedule a reading with you?

Please visit the Schedule A Reading page to schedule an appointment.

Do I need to provide you with any personal information about me before my reading?

Other than your name and contact information, there is no need to share any further personal details with me or my team before your reading. Please avoid sending any explanations about your personal history or present circumstances, as this can affect the reading process and limit the validations you seek. Ultimately, it could hinder the reading."

Do you do readings in person? What about group readings?

I do offer in-person readings and have an office located in Salem, Oregon, where you can come see me. However, the majority of my readings are conducted virtually over Zoom or telephone for convenience and accessibility. To schedule a reading with me, simply refer to the Schedule A Reading page on my website.

As for group readings, they are also available, and the fee will depend on the size of the group and the allotted time for our session. If you prefer an in-person group reading, travel expenses may apply depending on the location.

I strive to provide the best possible experience for all my clients, whether in-person or virtually.

Can you give me insight into my future?

During a reading, any future predictions will come from Spirit, which could be your loved ones, a guide, or an angel. However, it's essential to understand that your future is constantly changing, and you are the one who has control over it. It's best not to solely rely on the information that comes through in your reading, but instead, use it to help improve your situation.

How Should I prepare for our reading?

To prepare for our reading, it's important that we both have a calm and open mind. I usually meditate before our session to ensure my mind is clear. I suggest you take a few minutes to clear your mind as well, and invite anyone you wish to come through during the reading. It's best to eliminate any ambient noise or other distractions during the reading, so if you're joining me virtually, find a quiet place for our time together.

You should have a list of questions written down. You don't need to share them with me. I prefer you don't reveal too much to me at the start of the reading, but having your questions in your sight will help you receive the answers throughout our reading. Also, keep a pen and paper handy to take notes. Sometimes names, dates, and symbols might not make sense the first time you hear them, so referring back to your notes will help you understand later.

Please be honest and open with me during the reading. The most important thing we need from each other is trust. Please don't try to test me or play "Stump the Psychic." It's neither respectful nor conducive to our session, and the spirits are sensitive to our behavior and intentions. We should use our time together to let the souls who need to come through do so. Trust me, they want to!

What if I haven’t had anyone close to me cross over? Can I still get a reading?

Of course! Even individuals who are distantly related to you can come through. Just because you did not know them in this life does not mean they are not still energetically connected to you. Often, our guides are ancestors who stay behind on the other side to guide and protect us. Additionally, your reading does not necessarily have to be about a loved one coming through. It can also be related to a life situation or spiritual direction.

What if I’m not comfortable with the information coming through?

Please let me know if you feel uncomfortable with any of the information that comes through during your reading. My main goal is to connect you with those who wish to share important messages and guidance, not to create panic or fear. It's important to keep in mind that readings can sometimes stir up intense emotions. During our session, we will build a connection based on openness and respect, so please feel free to communicate any feelings that arise if you are uncomfortable. I will always aim to remain respectful of your boundaries.

Why didn’t certain people come through?

I cannot guarantee which people or information will come through during the reading. It is possible that you may not hear from the specific people you had hoped to connect with, but it is important to trust that the messages and validations you receive are what you need to hear at this moment.

Why hasn't what you told me happened yet?

Sometimes, the information I give you won't come to fruition immediately. It's important to keep in mind that time is perceived differently in our physical world versus the spirit world. While we measure time in precise increments, time is not measured at all in the spirit world. This can sometimes lead to misinterpretation of timeframes and delays in the manifestation of certain events. However, it's essential to trust the information you receive from a higher source and be patient. Your actions and reactions to the information can also impact its eventual outcome, so it's crucial to remain positive and open-minded.

Final Thoughts

“I believe that one of the most valuable messages we can receive is the reminder that we are eternal beings of love. Our light is infinite, and it can never be snuffed out, only transformed and expanded. If, after our session, you walk away with this understanding, then I know that I have fulfilled my purpose as a channel for Spirit. I am honored to have the opportunity to guide you on your path.”

With love and gratitude,

-Bill

Why “Expect the Unexpected”?

When I first started doing readings professionally, people would often ask me, "what should I expect to happen?". However, I could never answer that question easily because each reading is unique, and I have no idea what will happen until I begin the reading. I am a "channel" between Spirit and my client, and the messages I receive while channeling are spontaneous and sometimes may seem absurd. But, the validation from the seemingly trivial moments in life often brings the most comfort, precisely because they cannot be known. Sometimes, a whole session can be about various topics such as an upcoming business venture, a relationship, a missing person or even your loved one coming from the other side. Therefore, I feel that the phrase "expect the unexpected" is more than perfect for explaining how everything works.
