Questions & Answers

Every reading is different, because every spirit is different. During our session, I connect with spirit and bring through evidence — memories, personality traits, names, dates, relationships, and messages — that help validate who is coming through. My goal with every reading is to provide meaningful evidence and healing connections that leave you feeling seen, heard, and at peace.

If this is your first reading, there is nothing you need to prepare or study beforehand. It is completely normal to feel nervous or uncertain — just come as you are, with an open heart, and let the session unfold naturally.

You are always welcome to share who you are hoping to hear from, and I will hold that intention with you. Ultimately, though, spirit decides who comes through. Sometimes it is exactly the person you were expecting — and sometimes it is someone else who has an important message meant just for you in that moment.

In my experience, spirit always finds a way to communicate. The person you are hoping to hear from may not be the first to step forward, but there is always a reason for who comes through — and the message they bring is always the one that is meant for you.

Belief is not a requirement, and you do not need to be spiritual for a reading to be meaningful. Many people come in as skeptics and leave with something they did not expect — a name, a memory, a detail that no one else could have known.

What does help is approaching the session with an open mind. Spirit works in ways that are often surprising, and the more relaxed and receptive you are, the more space there is for something genuine to come through.

It depends on the type of reading you choose. All booked sessions — whether 30 minutes, 1 hour, Priority, or Mentorship — are completely private and confidential, shared only between you and Hope.

TikTok Live readings ($20) are a different experience. They take place in front of everyone watching the stream, so they are not private. If you prefer that your reading stay between just the two of you, a private booked session is the right fit.

Hope offers both in-person and virtual readings, so distance is never a barrier to connection. Virtual sessions are conducted via phone or video call, making it easy to receive a reading from the comfort of your own home no matter where you are.

In-person availability may vary depending on location, events, and scheduling. When booking, feel free to mention your preference and Hope will do her best to accommodate you.

Readings can be delivered in whatever format works best for you. Options include video call, phone call, or a pre-recorded voice message — each one just as personal and meaningful as the next.

When Hope confirms your booking, you will have the opportunity to discuss what format feels most comfortable. The goal is for you to be fully present and at ease, however that looks for you.

Hope typically responds within 24 hours to confirm your session and share everything you need to know before we connect.

Availability varies depending on the time of year and current demand. Sometimes appointments can be set within just a few days — other times there may be a short waiting list. The best way to find out is to submit a booking request and Hope will get back to you within 24 hours with her next available times.

If you are in need of a faster appointment, a Priority Reading may be available sooner and is designed for those who need guidance right away.

During a TikTok Live, readings are available for just $20 — but this price is exclusive to the live stream and only available while Hope is actively broadcasting. They are done in real time in front of the audience, so they are not private.

Each live reading is approximately 8 minutes. That said, spirit does not always follow a clock — if Hope feels that someone needs a little more time to fully receive what is coming through, she will extend the session as needed. The goal is always for the message to land completely, not just quickly.

Any reading requested outside of a live session is considered a private booking and is priced accordingly. If you would like a one-on-one experience at any time, you can book a private session here.

No booking through the website is needed for a live reading — they happen in real time during the stream. To get on the list, simply follow the Linktree link on Hope's TikTok profile and you will be added to the queue for upcoming live readings.

Once you are on the list and the live begins, Hope will work through readings one by one. The $20 rate is exclusively available during the live stream — it is not a price that can be applied to bookings made outside of that time. Live readings are shared with everyone watching, so they are a relaxed, community experience. If you would prefer something more personal and one-on-one, a private booked session is the way to go.

The easiest way is to follow @hopeful_readings on TikTok and turn on notifications. TikTok will alert you the moment the live begins so you never miss a session.

All of Hope's followers — her "Hopefuls" — get notified as soon as she goes live. It is a great community to be a part of, and a $20 live reading is a wonderful way to experience a connection before booking a private session.

The 30-minute session ($64) is focused and direct — great for a single area of your life or connecting with one loved one. The 1-hour session ($82) allows more time for deeper guidance, multiple connections, and follow-up questions.

Once your booking is confirmed, Hope will share a Linktree link that makes payment quick and easy. Payment is accepted through PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App — whichever is most convenient for you.

Payment is typically requested before the session begins. If you have any questions or need a different arrangement, just let Hope know when she reaches out to confirm your appointment.

Hope is deeply committed to providing a genuine and meaningful experience for every client. In the rare case that spirit does not resonate, or that something outside of either party's control prevents the session from taking place, a refund will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Please note that a reading is a spiritual service, not a guaranteed outcome. Hope approaches every session with full sincerity and dedication, and refunds are not offered simply because the messages received were unexpected, uncomfortable, or different from what was hoped for. Spirit does not always bring through what we want to hear — but it always brings through what is needed.

If you have a genuine concern after your session, please reach out directly and Hope will do her best to make it right.
