Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I am unable to:
*answer every E-mail that I receive seeking information or guidance*consult on individual cases regarding paranormal activity or hauntings*provide mentorship to those seeking to develop their intuitive abilitiesQ: When did you first realize that you had psychic abilities?
A: I remember being very small and often knowing when the telephone was going to ring ... and also knowing who it was that was calling. When I was about 10 years old, I began giving impromptu readings for family and friends.
Q: What abilities do you have?
A: I am a precognitive, clairprescient psychic, which means that I am able to forecast future events with substantial accuracy by tuning into messages that I receive from my spiritual partners in the Higher Realms. I have also been blessed with the gift of communicating with the spirits of those who have departed life, as we know it, here in the living world.
I have an advanced degree in Counseling Psychology and I am very well-versed in a variety of spiritual and metaphysical subjects. In 2002, under the tutelage of Patti Starr, I became a "certified ghost hunter" and, since that time, I have participated in a number of paranormal investigations. I frequently consult with both victims' families and law enforcement agencies on unsolved murder and/or missing persons cases.
Q: Do you offer different types of readings?
A: Yes, I do. I offer "general" readings during which I discuss the past, present and future of the person I am reading for. I also do mediumship or spirit contacts which involves making a connection and communicating with the spirits of those who have crossed over.
Q: Have you always been able to communicate with spirits of those who have crossed over?
A: No, I was a bit of a "late bloomer" with regard to that ability. I have aways been able to sense when there are spirit energies around me. In 1986, my father visited me on the day of his funeral, asking me to promise that I'd always take care of my mother. Then, in 2001, I began receiving messages from the deceased brother of one of my co-workers. I consider that to be my first experience at true interdimensional communication.
Q: What is the difference between a psychic and a medium?
A; All mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums. Psychics have what I refer to as extrasensory perception, the ability to perceive information that is not readily known using the five human senses. Mediums have this ability as well, but they are also able to bridge the communication gap between the world of the living and the realm of the dead.
Q: Do you use any divination tools, like cards, runes, a crystal ball, etc. when you do readings?
A: I am very skilled at reading tarot cards; I began doing so when I was a teenager. Very rarely do I use cards when giving readings. Of course, if a client requests a tarot reading, I am certainly happy to oblige.
Q: How do you receive information during your readings?
A: That's hard to explain. It's like the information completely bypasses my five human senses and is imprinted in my brain. I often "see" images or short "videos" and I "hear" the messages, although not as if the words are actually being "spoken" to me.
Q: Do you actually see spirits?
A: Unlike the boy from the movie, The Sixth Sense, I do not regularly see dead people ... although I have done so in the past. I feel and sense the energy of the spirits around me.
Q: Are your crossing over readings spooky or scary?
A: Not at all! In fact, most of my clients feel a great sense of calm and peace during their readings. Many clients have told me that they feel like they are actually talking with their loved ones who have passed away. Spirits will often deliver messages that are very simple, yet incredibly personal and meaningful, to their loved ones who are having the reading.
Q: Are the messages received ever cryptic or unclear?
A: The connection I am able to make with the spirit world is strong, but there are times when certain messages cannot be readily understood or validated. When this occurs, I ask clients to remember the message for future validation. Almost always, these "cryptic" messages later become crystal clear when the person who has had a reading with me discusses the reading with family and friends.
Here's an example: a woman came to me, hoping to communicate with her deceased grandmother. During the reading, a spirit named Ralph "dropped in" to say "hello." The woman had no idea who this spirit was, so Ralph gave more information: he talked about a house fire and a funny story that had to do with underground water or wells.
The woman called me a few days after her reading and told me that, when talking about the reading with her father, he immediately understood the messages: Ralph was her father's uncle, his home had burned down many years earlier and he had taught my client's father to locate underground water or wells with a "witching wand" (divining rod) when he was a boy!
By the way, this same client was hoping her grandmother could help to locate a missing ring that had been a gift from the old woman to her granddaughter. The grandmother told me that her daughter, my client's mother, had the ring and it would be found in a place that had already been searched. Two weeks later, my client called to say the ring had turned up, at her mother's house, in a place where they had looked for it many times before!
Q: Do you believe in God?
A: Absolutely! I am a firm believer in God, which is what I choose to call the Supreme Being, but feel free to choose your own name. I was raised in the Catholic faith, which is filled with miracles, mysticism and manifestations. I have incorporated my spiritual beliefs with my Catholic upbringing, which has given me a very personal and private relationship with God. I never attempt to "force" my beliefs on others ... it's simply not my "job" to convince or convert!
Q: How can I schedule a reading with you and what are the costs?
A: I can be reached by telephone at (770) 921-3240. If you reach my voice mail, please leave a message and either I or my assistant, Rebecca, will return your call within 48 hours. Calls received on weekends will be returned the following business week.
The costs associated with my readings are as follows:
General readings -- $200 for approximately 30 minutes
Spirit Contacts/Mediumship -- $500 for approximately 30-40 minutes (Additional family
members or friends my participate during this type of reading at a cost of $250 per
person.)
Telephone readings are equally as accurate as in-person readings.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT READINGS WITH CHIP COFFEY
I always begin each reading with a prayer of protection, during which I create a sacred space within which the reading will occur. This is the prayer that I most commonly use:
"I am creating a sacred space in which we are divinely protected by the golden white light of God. No negative energies or entities are allowed to enter into this space or enter into these transactions. We not only refuse to have them with us, we completely dispel them, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spritus Santi. Blessed Be. Amen."
General Readings
My readings are somewhat non-traditional. I am not a carnival fortune teller and I do not deliver "scripted" readings. Often, the information received is blunt and direct. Our spirit guides want us to make conscious, rational decisions in order to lead happy, successful lives. They will NOT plan our lives for us, but they WILL give us guidance on how we can make choices that will better our lives here on the planet.
I encourage direct questions, so please come prepared. You are paying me to provide a service and I am committed to making your reading a success.
Spirit Contact ("Crossing Over") Readings
Many other mediums tell their clients not to have any expectations regarding the results of their readings. These mediums also create an "open channel" to the spirit realm, allowing any entity who wishes to communicate the opportunity to do so.
Conversely, I encourage my clients to approach their readings with hope and expectation that the loved one they are hoping to communicate with will come through. Also, rather than creating an "open channel," I prefer to seek out one specific spirit energy, make a connection and communicate the messages I receive.
Prior to a spirit contact reading, I instuct my clients to reminisce about their departed loved one, perhaps look at photographs and reflect on the many memories that you have of the deceased. I also ask my clients to come to the reading with an open mind, hopeful that their loved one will join us during the reading.
At the start of a spirit contact reading, I ask my client for the name of the person he/she wishes to communicate with, how long it has been since the loved one passed away and the relationship that my client had with the deceased (father, mother, husband, wife, etc.). Together, my client and I invite the spirit of the loved one to join us, assure the spirit that we welcome him/her with great love and affection, and encourage the spirit to deliver messages that will be clear and meaningful.
I respectfully request that all clients who have phone readings with me do so at a time when they can be in a quiet place and will not be disturbed or distracted. Please turn off all electronic devises, like televisions, radios, CD players, etc. Also, clients may want to disable or plan not to answer any calls that come through on call waiting.
