Frequently Asked Questions

Frances offers three session lengths: 30 minutes ($88), 45 minutes ($111), and 60 minutes ($144). A 30-minute session works well for a single focused question. Forty-five minutes allows for two or three areas of exploration. A full hour gives space for comprehensive guidance across multiple life areas. Choose based on how much ground you want to cover.

Readings are priced at $88 for 30 minutes, $111 for 45 minutes, and $144 for a full hour. All prices include the reading session and any follow-up notes Frances sends afterward. Payment is collected securely online at the time of booking.

Yes. Frances conducts online readings via video call and has found no meaningful difference in depth, accuracy, or connection compared to in-person sessions. Intuitive work is not limited by physical proximity. Many clients across the DC metro area, Northern Virginia, and Maryland actually prefer online sessions because they can sit in their own comfortable space.

Absolutely. Everything discussed in your session is completely confidential. Frances does not record sessions, share details with anyone, or use your reading content in any way. What happens in your reading stays between you and Frances.

Take a few quiet minutes before your session to think about what's been weighing on you. You don't need a perfectly formed question — even "I've been feeling stuck and I don't know why" is a great starting point. Have a notebook nearby if you want to jot things down. For online sessions, find a quiet spot where you won't be interrupted, and test that your camera and audio work.

No. You don't need to have any particular belief system. Tarot works well for skeptics, spiritual seekers, and everyone in between. What helps most is showing up with openness — a willingness to reflect on what comes up, even if you're not sure how to explain why the cards seem to land where they do. Frances's approach is grounded and practical, not dogmatic.

Frances reads at events throughout the Washington DC metro area including Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, McLean, Reston) and Maryland (Bethesda, Silver Spring, Rockville). She appears at psychic fairs, holistic expos, and spiritual festivals in the region. Private sessions are conducted online and available to anyone, anywhere.

Absolutely — relationships are the most common topic clients bring to readings. Tarot is excellent at illuminating relationship dynamics, hidden patterns, what you're each bringing to the connection, and what the likely trajectory looks like. Frances will be honest about what the cards show, including things that might be hard to hear, always delivered with kindness.
