Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between readings and healings?

There are many ways to work with energy and many tools and practices that help us notice, observe, and move energy. There are also many perspectives on the self. Different psychic practices can help us gain information about ourselves from multiple perspectives that we wouldn’t ordinarily be able to see.

A psychic reading primarily uses the practice of clairvoyance, where energy is observed visually, in pictures, in colors, in different vantage points and symbolic imagery. In a psychic reading with Elissa, we will see complex, colorful, illuminating pictures, images, and scenes that reflect and represent your energy in that moment, and that respond to the questions you’re seeking to answer. We might also notice sounds, smells, or other sensory impressions.

An astral healing works with energy in our unconscious dreaming space, a place where we can express ourselves beyond the physical body. We have psychic anatomy in addition to our physical anatomy. In an astral healing with Elissa, she will give your astral body and psychic anatomy a check up and clean up. When you have been struggling to understand or achieve your dreams, when you feel energetically worn down, when you want to recharge the power of your sleep, or when you want to dream more lucidly, allow yourself an astral healing and notice the shifts in your energy.

What can I expect from a reading or healing?

In a psychic reading, you will be sitting in a comfortable, quiet, private place. Because Elissa is reading your energy, you should not be in a place with other people, to ensure your energy can be seen clearly. Elissa will guide you through the reading, you just have to be mentally and energetically present, with your eyes open and feet on the floor. Elissa will perform the reading with her eyes closed, but will open her eyes periodically to talk with you. You are welcome to take notes during the reading. Your session will be recorded and sent to you as well.

In an astral healing, you will need to have a comfortable place to lay down for the healing. Elissa will guide you through the process, all you have to do is lay back and relax. At the end of the healing, you’ll sit up and Elissa will discuss with you what she noticed during the astral healing and answer any questions that may have come up for you.

How should I prepare for a reading or healing?

The most important thing to prepare for readings and healings is your INTENTION. What is your purpose for seeking a reading or healing? What is happening in your life that will benefit from a psychic reading or healing? How do you hope your life will change after a reading or healing? What questions do you want a reading or healing to help you answer? Elissa will ask you about your intentions at the start of every session. Your intention does not have to be complex or formulaic. Your intention is for you and will help you get the most out of your psychic reading or healing. Do you want to look at the energy of your emotions? Your career, relationships, health, spiritual growth, dreams, goals? Before a session, take time to sit with your intention and be ready to articulate it.

How often do I need readings/healings?

It depends on you. Some people see psychic reading and healing as an integral part of their self-care regimen or spiritual development and want to establish a regular cadence. Others feel that getting readings and healings as needed at key moments in their lives serves them well. Sometimes we are going through difficult circumstances and need more regular support and check-ins. Elissa offers package deals and can work with you to meet your needs.

 Readings and healings focus on your energy in the present moment, so it is possible to see different things even with frequent readings. We are complex beings with multiple dimensions of ourselves, so there is always more to read, always more to heal. Integration of the readings and healings is key, however. Energy moves at different frequencies in our astral and physical bodies, and in our auras. After a reading it is important to stay present in your body and spirit to notice the energetic changes and subtle shifts that occur, and how the insights from the readings may unfold over time. When you are feeling connected with your true self, you will know how often you need readings. And when in doubt, please feel free to discuss your situation with Elissa.

Is there a difference between in-person and online sessions?

Energy is not constrained by geography, topography, or technology. Your energy is powerful and noticeable wherever you are. Connecting in person is nice but not necessary for a psychic reading. Online, you can be in your own comfortable space and don’t have to worry about parking. Elissa has done many psychic readings and healings for people all across North America and Europe online.

Currently, due to the pandemic, Elissa’s practice is limited to online readings and healings only.

Do you record sessions?

Yes, Elissa will send you a link to download your reading within 24 hours of your session. You’ll have a week to download it before it automatically deletes.

What are Your Business Policies?

GoldSol accepts online payment at the time you book your reading or healing session.

If you cancel or reschedule your appointment more than 24 hours before the scheduled time, you will be completely refunded or payment will be applied to your rescheduled appointment. Cancellations and reschedules less than 24 hours before the scheduled time will be refunded half of the payment. No shows will be charged full price. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, your session will be cancelled. If you know you are running late for your session, please notify Elissa at elissagoldsol@gmail.com.

GoldSol does not give refunds after sessions are completed. Sometimes psychic readings or healings don’t tell you what you might have hoped they would. Sometimes you get information that makes you uncomfortable. You might even disagree with Elissa or the information she provides you. Sometimes what doesn’t make sense in the moment might make sense days or weeks or months later. None of these (rare) circumstances are grounds for a refund after Elissa has performed the agreed-upon service.

What am I agreeing to when I book a session with Elissa?

Elissa agrees to connect with you without judgement. No matter the questions, issues or circumstances that brought you to Elissa for a psychic reading or healing, Elissa will provide you a truly neutral and non-judgmental perspective. She will never tell you what you should or should not do.

You agree that you accept complete responsibility for your own emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

You understand that Elissa doesn't predict the future. The information provided is intended to provide a new and different perspective to complement your own intuitive knowledge, and to support you on your own journey to find answers for yourself.

You understand that the readings and healings are not related in any way to medical and/or psychological clinical treatment and Elissa does not diagnose or treat any diseases or disorders. Psychic readings and healings are not a substitute for qualified medical and psychological treatment. 

Why don’t you predict the future?

Psychic readings are about your potential, about the possibilities of what you can manifest in your life and on your journey. The future is in your hands, you have the will and the power to create the circumstances of your own life. The insights you gain from psychic readings will help you see and shape your own future. Energy is in constant motion and change, which means many futures are possible at any given moment. I look at your energy and your questions in the present moment to give you the information you need to predict and determine your own future.

Can you help me connect with loved ones who have passed?

While I have trained in the psychic art of mediumship, it is not my area of specialty. I recommend other practitioners such as Shannon Swallow or Sabiah Sogard.
