It was a warm fall day when Joani walked into my office for
a massage. To be honest, I wasn’t so thrilled. It was a Friday and I was ready
to go home. She said at the beginning of the massage she had a rough day and
she didn’t want to talk, which is normal in my line of work. The first few
minutes I was silent. Then she spoke up, she wanted to know a little about me.
I was confused, but I answered her questions about where I went to school and things of
that nature. She then told me about herself, talking about how she use to be a
teacher, how she was married, and had kids and grandchildren. After a while the
room fell quite again, I massaged silently.
Joani soon started talking again. Although I cannot remember
what brought the topic up, she confessed she was a psychic. This was something that did not shock me, I’ve
always believed in psychics and mediums. Ever since I was young, I would get a
feeling and knew something was going to happen. I always figured if I could
sense things that were going to happen, other people could to and possible more.
I never knew how this feeling happened, but the how was never important to me.
I no longer wished for my early Friday evening out, I was
amazed I ran into such a wonderful person. Before Joani left the office, I
asked her if I could take her number and use it to set up a reading. She said
of course.
I got into my car and called half a dozen people. I told
them I had met a psychic and I couldn’t wait to get a reading done. I told them
they had to get a reading done too. Monday morning at our weekly staff meeting
I told all the girls about Joani too. Before I knew it, we arranged a work
party and Joani came to the office and gave all of us mini readings. The mini
readings were awesome. We each drew numbers and got our reading one by one. The
moment one of the girls walked out of the session with Joani, we hounded to
hear what was said.
Although my mini session was wonderful and I could not of
asked for more. As a human, I wanted more. I kept saying “oh, after the
holidays” or “I need to email Joani” but I never did. Last week I was faced
with a tough choice. My heart and head was not agreeing and I didn’t know what to
do. I emailed Joani and asked if she could fit me in for a reading. I got in
right away.
Joani’s Procedure:
Joani sends out an information sheet before every reading, even if you have already had a reading before. It gives you the 411 on everything you need to know. The information states what she can and cannot offer you. She does this because people have assumptions on what psychics and mediums can do, due to the media and hot lines.

When you sit down for a reading, Joani asks you to write
your name on a notepad. She then asks you to pick a subject (Past, Present,
Future, A loved one who’s passed). Without any conversation, she starts to
write under your name. She writes fast and without any interruptions. She is
writing down what her spirit guide tells her. Her spirit guide, some like to
call him an angel, is a voice that whispers to her. He tells her everything the
person who is getting the reading done needs to know. Once her spirit guide is
done talking, Joani helps you ‘map’ out what the spirit guide has said. At the
end of the reading you get to take your map and the notes from the spirit guide
home.
From the very get go, I had lots of questions about Joani
and her gift. Her path started when she wasn’t finding what she needed from
churches throughout her life, so began reading passionately about parapsychology.
When she stop spending three hours a day commuting back and forth between work
and making every thought about teaching, she had time for herself. She began experimenting
and started to see her gift grow. She believes her spirit guide has always been
with her. Although, Joani is an amazing woman, her past has not always been
wonderful. Just like anyone else, she has had struggles of her own. Now looking
back, she believes her spirit guide was always looking out for her, whispering
encouragement in those times of need.
With friends and family, Joani experimented with her gift. Once
she felt ready, she called a women’s retreat and asked if she could volunteer
and do readings. Her first cold reading (Someone she does not know) aligned with
perfectly. Joani was shocked. Within thirty minutes the word got around, a
lined formed of women that couldn’t wait to hear what Joani and her spirit
guide had to say.
Joani enjoys doing reading because she loves witnessing the
joy that people get from contacting a passed loved one. She is kind and compassionate
person who is always practicing the Golden Rule. Some believe what Joani does
is the devil’s work, she whole heartily disagrees. With positive energy, part
of the money Joani makes from the readings, goes to cancer research, benefits,
or fundraisers. Although she is unsure why she was chosen to be the voice for
the spirit guide she believes that God has sent her this messenger as a gift.
She was raised Catholic and would ask for forgiveness if there was any negative
energy. Instead she believes she is helping mankind one person at a time by
giving them comfort and helping them better define their life paths through
spiritual awareness. She wants people gain a renewed sense of their blessing by
readings. Joani counts her blessings every day.
My last reading was even better than the first. I believe
each reading is brand new adventure. This most recent reading helped me with my
choice and instead of a cloud of anxiety, Joani gave me hope. I know Joani
walked into my life that fall day for a reason, and because of her I am truly changed
for the better.
