Frequently asked questions

If you have questions 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. If you can't find the question and answer you're looking for, feel free to reach out through our contact page. Someone on Bill's team is always happy to answer any queries regarding the reading process and make you feel comfortable.

  • Yes, I conduct in-person readings at my office in Salem, Oregon. However, to ensure convenience and accessibility, most of my readings are done virtually over Zoom or telephone. This allows you to experience the reading from the comfort of your own space.

  • I provide private group readings for 5-10 people at my Salem, Oregon office. You have the flexibility to choose the number of people for the reading within this range. For larger groups, the rate will vary, and you can inquire about it in the comments section of the request form. Please note that my office can only accommodate up to ten people. If you prefer the reading to be held at a different location, there will be an additional fee, which can be found on my scheduling page. It's important to understand that group readings are a shared channeling experience, similar to an audience reading. Due to this, I cannot guarantee equal time or individual messages for everyone in the group.

  • 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.

  • No, 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.

  • Yes, I have abilities as both a psychic and a medium, which allows me to make future predictions and communicate with those who have crossed over. When I provide a reading, any future predictions will come from the Spirit, which could be your loved ones, a guide, or an angel. Nevertheless, it's important to realize that your future is always changing, and you have a significant role in this change. You have control over your future, so it's best not to rely entirely on the information in your reading, but to use it to help improve your situation.

  • Yes, even individuals who are distantly related to you can come through. The beauty of a reading is that it can reveal unexpected connections. 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 when we come into this life. 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • I cannot guarantee which people or information will come through during the reading. You may not hear from the people you hoped to connect with during a reading, and there could be multiple reasons for this. Still, please know it is never because they no longer care about you. On the other side, our loved ones have spiritual work they must complete. People often want to hear from someone who has just crossed over, but I usually recommend waiting a few months to give the loved one in spirit a chance to process what has happened to them and conduct their life review. It also allows you to process your shock and grief over their passing. Please trust that the messages and validations you receive are what you need to hear at this moment, even if it’s not what you hoped to hear.

  • The information I give you may not come to fruition immediately. It's important to remember that time is perceived differently in our physical and spiritual worlds. While we measure time precisely in our lives, 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. Trusting the information you receive from a higher source and being patient is essential. Your actions and reactions to the information can also impact its eventual outcome, so remaining positive and open-minded is crucial.

Final Thought

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
