FAQ
I now offer in-person astrology readings from Essential Therapies in Sidmouth, East Devon, a beautiful natural health and wellbeing studio that’s home to a collective of skilled, independent practitioners offering a range of therapies. If you prefer to meet online, I also offer Zoom readings.
What is your availability?
My availability is as follows:
🔹 In-Person at Essential Therapies – Saturdays & Thursday evenings
🔹 Zoom Readings – Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings
What do you need from me to do a reading?
When you book, you’ll be asked to fill in a short form with a few key details:
📅 Your date of birth
📍 Your place of birth
⏰ Your time of birth (if you know it)
These help me prepare your chart in advance and tune into the deeper stories it holds. If you’re unsure of your birth time, please read the next FAQ or contact me before booking so we can discuss options.
What if I don’t know my birth time?
I can still do a reading without a birth time, but some areas, like the exact timing of life events or deeper insight into certain houses, may be harder to explore.
If you have a rough idea (e.g. morning or evening), let me know. I can use my knowledge and experience to make a best-fit interpretation. You’ll still get a meaningful and insightful session, there’s always plenty to work with.
Is an astrology reading suitable for me?
Yes, if you're curious about who you are beneath the surface, why certain patterns keep repeating, or what the deeper purpose behind your challenges might be, then an astrology reading can offer insight, clarity, and validation.
Astrology isn’t about fixed fate, it’s a symbolic language that helps us make meaning of our lives. A reading can help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, understand the energies shaping your experience, and feel more empowered to move forward.
I’ll meet you wherever you are, whether you’re completely new to astrology or have been exploring it for years. My intention is always to help you feel comfortable, supported, and seen. I’ll guide you through your chart gently and honestly, so you leave the session with something real to take with you: insight, a sense of direction, and maybe even a little more compassion for yourself.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes, gift vouchers are available. You can purchase a gift voucher for an initial birth chart reading using this link:

How many sessions will I need?
One session is enough to create a lasting shift in how you see yourself and your life. Many people leave their first reading feeling deeply seen, with a fresh perspective and a clearer sense of direction.
That said, astrology is a powerful tool for ongoing self-discovery. Just as you wouldn’t go to the gym once and expect lifelong results, regular sessions can help you deepen your understanding over time. They allow us to explore the unfolding cycles of your life, make sense of challenges as they arise, and track your growth year by year.
If you choose to return, I offer a reduced rate for follow-up sessions, and the more we work together, the more personalised and meaningful the insights become. It’s like checking in with your soul’s compass to stay aligned with the life you truly want.
How can I book a session?
You can book online using my booking system, just choose the time that works best for you. Online bookings can be made up to a week in advance, but if you're hoping for something sooner, feel free to get in touch. If I can fit you in, I will.
And if you don’t see a time that suits, drop me a message or email, I’m always happy to help and can book you in myself if you'd prefer.
How can I make the most of my session?
Come with an open mind and a willingness to explore. You might like to bring a notebook to jot things down, or, if you prefer, you’re welcome to record the session on your phone so you can listen back later.
I’ll also provide you with a written report that includes your birth chart and the key points we cover, so you’ll have something to reflect on afterwards. Many clients find that the insights continue to unfold long after the session itself.

Please note that a cancellation fee of 50% will be charged for appointments cancelled within 48 hours of the treatment time. No- shows and appointments cancelled within 24 hours will be charged at 100%. Your fee will need to be paid before you are able to re-book.
