PREPARE FOR YOUR READING WITH MARY KATHLEEN

Logistics: Check your appointment confirmation email and double check that you chose your correct time zone. Ensure that Zoom is downloaded and that you know how to log into Zoom prior to your appointment day and time.

Write down or journal any questions you may have for your session, especially if coming for an intuitive, Akashic Records, or living animal communication session.

Be prepared to either take notes or to have Mary record the reading (a paid add-on service of $11 at the time of booking). If you did not would like to add a recording, please email us. If not having your reading recorded, you will want to take notes to ensure you remember everything about your reading - readings can sometimes move quickly and reading 'amnesia' is a real thing. You can jot quick notes down during the reading, or plan to take ten minutes immediately after the reading to write notes while the reading is still fresh in your mind. Recorded readings may be shared privately with close friends and family, but may not be published, posted publicly, altered, or distributed in any way - whether online or through other media - without prior written consent of Mary Kathleen Mittelstadt / Mary Kathleen Evidential Psychic Medium LLC. Personal client recordings are not permitted without written consent.

If seeking a mediumship reading, set a private intention as to who you would like to connect with in spirit. This intention can be done out loud and alone with yourself, or you may choose to mentally ask your loved ones to step forward for the reading. This does not guarantee that your desired loved one(s) will be who we connect to for the reading, but it does put your energy of communication out there. Nine times out of ten, the spirit person whom you are most hoping to hear from will connect during the reading, especially if you are grieving. It is important, though, that you are open to hearing from others as well and that you don't dismiss them.

It is important to come to your reading with an open heart, an open mind, and prepared to be energetically engaged. Please be in an area as free from distractions as possible. Not coming with an open heart and mind or being very distracted can create an energetic wall, which can make the connection more difficult for all parties involved.

If you are seeking an Intuitive or Akashic Records reading or an emailed intuitive reading, please know that you always have free will. Mary believes deeply in the power of free will and the truth that the future is fluid, not fixed. In both Akashic Records readings and emailed intuitive readings, Mary connects to higher consciousness and your higher self to receive insights from your past and present, along with intuitive guidance that you can choose to apply to your future. These readings are designed to support your growth, healing, and alignment at the soul level - always with the understanding that you remain the decision-maker in your own life. Rather than telling you what will 'definitely' happen, these sessions often explore what your higher self feels will support your progression, and how different choices may shape different potential outcomes. For example, a reading may offer tools to help heal and strengthen your current relationship and shift it away from a path toward separation. Or, if you’re seeking partnership, guidance may be given around personal growth or healing that would help you align with the kind of partner your soul is calling in.

When it comes to intuitive and Akashic Record readings, it is important to keep an open mind and heart about the information your higher self feels is for your deepest and greatest good and growth. You may come to a reading really wanting to know about your career path, for example, but your higher self (soul) begins communicating about the tumultuous relationship you have with your living mother instead, how it has impacted you, and some healing work that is needed for you on a personal level internally. Your soul often goes deep, while we go surface level - and when we begin healing deeply, is when we actually begin achieving and receiving our surface level desires because we are in alignment. It is important to be open to such information coming forward, as trying to force away from it during a reading can be energetically difficult. Although, Mary will always work to feel into your desired area (i.e. such as your career path) prior to the reading concluding.

Attempting to test or “catch” the medium during a session can create energetic resistance that blocks the natural flow of communication. Spirit connection is built on trust, openness, and presence - not performance. If a session is approached in a combative or manipulative way, Mary reserves the right to end the session early. Your energy matters, and mutual respect is essential
for meaningful connection.

A successful spiritual reading of any kind requires your full energetic presence.
Please do not attend your session while driving, multitasking, or under the influence of alcohol or illegal substances. These factors disrupt the energetic exchange and the clarity of the session.

Only those who have been included in a multi-person booking may be present. Having another person intentionally listening in - whether off-camera or on speakerphone - without prior approval alters the energy and integrity of the session. If this occurs, Mary reserves the right to end the session without a refund.

Thank you for honoring the sacredness of this work by showing up fully and respectfully.

Keep an open mind about who may come through (human or animal) and be open to hearing from anyone from your immediate family members, to more distant acquaintances (human or animal). Typically, if a more distant acquaintance connects for the reading, it will be to ultimately bring through someone closer to you, or to pop in with some evidence and a quick message/hello. This said, it is important to expand your horizon and mind to recall/place evidence beyond the spirit people closest to you. There is always a rhyme and a reason for spirit's choices. Always.

If receiving an intuitive or Akashic Records reading or an emailed intuitive reading, understand that you may need to digest and 'sit with' some of the information prior to making sense of, or applying, it. As humans, we often become disconnected from our own soul's intuition. And if intuitive guidance was all intended to immediately validate itself, then we wouldn't need that guidance/reconnection in the first place.

Please do not book a reading if your sole intent is to hear just one piece of information about a loved one or to receive answers about a passing or loved one's unknown circumstances that cannot be validated. Mary is not a psychic detective and does not assist with criminal cases - there are others in the field that specialize in this who may be better suited to help you.

Mary often receives messages symbolically or through metaphor.
Spirit speaks in a language of energy, emotion, and images - and sometimes that means metaphors, symbolic references, or impressions that need a moment to land. Mary’s role is to interpret what comes through as clearly and accurately as possible, but this is a collaborative process.

Please come to your session willing to reflect, connect the dots, and work with how messages are received through Mary’s intuitive lens.

Understand that there may be portions of your mediumship communication that you won't be able to immediately validate in the moment - this is also why notes are important. Often times, these are the best types of evidence because asking your other living loved ones for the validation after the fact encourages you to learn even more about all of your family members, living and passed. This can bring you even closer! For example, perhaps you didn't know that your grandfather had a German Shepard growing up, or there may be a piece of symbolism that you suddenly interpret weeks later alongside your human or animal loved one. Having such information confirmed by others (or yourself) after the reading can be powerful and healing to all involved.

Other things may not click in the moment, but become very obvious to you after you have had time to digest and reflect upon your reading experience. Our loved ones have an entire lifetime of earthly experiences, memories, and current life observations that they may bring up. Sometimes, it can be hard for the client to remember everything about the spirit person and themselves at the spur of the moment, especially when in the emotion of the moment/reading. Other times, your spirit loved ones may strategically choose pieces of information that are intended to make sense as time progresses - this is their way of continuing the communication with you after Mary has left the conversation.

Please recognize that the spirit world (including your own higher self) is in control of your reading, and Mary is just the conduit. Mary cannot control which spirit loved ones show to connect first, let alone what they choose to share. For example, you may be hoping to hear that your grandmother was at your son's birthday party last week, but she may choose to bring up your specific and current medical issues as a communication of support instead. Being aware of the lack of control is important, because it can be too easy to miss very poignant, evidential, meaningful communication from your loved ones if your mind is stringently focused on them bringing in a certain piece of information or a certain person. Just because you 'think' that a person's or animal's personality denotes that they would not talk about a subject or person does not mean that holds true now: they no longer have an ego and want to help you heal and grow on your human journey.

Mary honors strong ethical standards in all sessions. While intuitive and Akashic Records readings can offer deep insight and clarity, they are not a tool for spying, control, or intrusion into another person’s private life - especially without their consent.

Mary reserves the right to decline answering any question that she feels is unethical or outside the scope of spiritual integrity. For example, it would not be appropriate to explore your ex-boyfriend's current relationship. Instead, readings focus on your own healing, growth, and alignment - because that is where your true power lies.

Thank you for understanding and respecting these boundaries, which help preserve the energetic integrity and purpose of this work.

It is not uncommon for a more removed spirit person to come through first and then bring through the person you truly want to hear from 2nd or 3rd (i.e. your grandfather whom passed when you were three may connect first, and then bring through your father, whom you were truly hoping to hear from). This is common because it truly validates the process (i.e. if evidential information can be given for a person you yourself didn't even know well, that only further validates the legitimacy of the communication with your father). This also demonstrates the support that your dearest loved one has on the other side.

With the aforementioned all stated, if the first half of your reading has concluded and the spirit person you were truly hoping to hear from has not yet come forward, Mary will usually be able to connect if you provide her with the relationship (i.e. if you say, "dad" or "husband"). Although this is not absolutely 100% guaranteed, she will always try for you and is successful the majority of the time. Please note: that particular person not stepping forward on their own first does not mean he/she isn't present for the reading, it just means that other loved one's energies blended easier with Mary's energy because of Mary's energetic level/components that day, that there were other messages he/she wanted you or other living people to hear first, that the spirit world wanted you to know how surrounded he/she is by other spirit loved ones, or any other number of reasons.

Children typically always come through with an adult loved one. Thus, if you have lost a child, the adult(s) will come through first and bring your child forward after their initial communication.

If a spirit person comes through whom you absolutely do not want to hear from (i.e. for distressing reasons regarding your relationship), please let Mary know and she will disconnect from that person. Please note, however, that it can be difficult to pick up a brand new link in this situation (although, Mary will try). Also, it is important to remember that the spirit person is 100% coming through for a purpose, most often for apologies and healing on both planes.

Keep your mind on the living, as well. Evidence is often about living people and animal family members. For example, your grandmother in spirit may wish to recognize your living child by bringing up his/her birthdate, or your husband in spirit may wish to bring up what you had to eat for dinner before the reading.

Rarely, Mary will begin by physically describing a living person with dementia, Alzheimer's, or another extremely mind-altering illness who is still living. This does not mean that the person has transitioned, but it may be that this person's soul wishes to communicate. Please keep your mind open to this, but if it makes you uncomfortable, please let Mary know as well.

For animal readings, whether your animal is in spirit or still here in the physical, know that animals often offer more than just memories or validation—they frequently come through with wisdom and guidance for you. Animals are deeply connected to the soul realm and often act as mirrors or teachers for our emotional, energetic, and spiritual growth. It’s not uncommon for them to offer insights about your relationships, emotional patterns, or even your life path. They speak through love, and their messages often reflect the deep bond and soul-level connection they share with you. Be open to their perspectives—they may see and understand more than you realize.

For Akashic Records readings, write down 3–5 meaningful questions to verbally ask Mary to feel into. This is not required and there is no guarantee of answers if your higher self redirects the reading, but it is the best potentiality for you to receive the clarity you seek and for your intention to be fulfiilled.

It is not uncommon for a spirit loved one during a mediumship reading or the akashic records during a soul reading to provide advice, but it is just that: advice, much like a loved one would give you if they were still here on the earth plane with you. Please remember, however, that you have always had, and still have, your own free will.

Mary will be happy to reschedule a reading for any reason if she is contacted 24 hours in advance. Every reasonable accommodation will be given to reschedule your appointment for as soon as possible. Cancelled appointments will result in the forfeiture of 50% of your appointment fee - no exceptions. No-shows will forfeit the full appointment fee.

If either you or Mary feel that an energetic match is not present between the two of you and/or that a validated connection with spirit is not being made within the first ten minutes of your reading, either party may terminate the appointment and your payment will be refunded. Beyond ten minutes, there are no refunds and no exceptions.

Most importantly, please be sure to practice gratitude and respect towards the spirit world and the spirit people (including your higher self). They work just as hard to communicate to you through Mary as Mary does to do so with them. Remember that they are there for you, no matter what their relationship is to you, and that the communication is borne out of never-ending love!
