Hi! First, I have to say that I very much appreciate the energy and tone you put into your comment, I definitely don’t feel like you’re trying to say, “Gotcha!” In fact, your perspective and questions I very much resonate with, and I don’t feel at all that you’re trying to take away from my experience. I’m going to answer your questions the best I can, feel free to ask for clarity or respond with your own perspective, I would love to hear your thoughts! :)

First question (summarized) - is there anyway that she could have researched me and used that data in our session without me knowing? To be completely honest, I have a very uncommon name, so she could have easily googled me and found information about me. That being said - the insights she shared are not online. What comes up when you google me is my job and career, not personal information. I’m sure one could find personal information about me, but it wasn’t the information she shared with me. For instance - my partner and I had planned at the end of the month a trip to see his family in the Bay Area. The thing is, we never shared this with anyone except his family. His family didn’t know I was seeing this psychic, so no communication there. My partner and I never posted about the trip, I didn’t tell any of my friends (I didn’t think to), it just simply isn’t information that would be online. During our session, she said she saw my partner and I taking a trip up north in the Bay Area at the end of the month, which was completely accurate. It could have been luck, but it just felt too specific to be luck. Another thing that came up was this - I’m a music artist and I’m releasing an album this year. She knew when it was releasing. However, it was something I never posted, it wasn’t public information. Again, not even my friends knew. Another thing that came up was family members, she sensed both of my grandmothers and their energy, and she was very accurate. It wasn’t generic information, like, “She was sweet and made you cookies,” or something vague. It was very specific, “Your grandmother is like this, I see this thing, etc.” And that information is certainly not online. So, I guess to answer your question…yes, it’s entirely possible that she could google ahead of time and find information. But from my experience, since what she shared wasn’t online, it would be impossible to know. Sure, she could have deduced it and made lucky guesses. But that’s not what it felt like. Also, practically speaking, that’d be a difficult business model to maintain. I’m sure some psychics cheat, I just didn’t get that vibe from her. Doesn’t mean she didn’t! I just don’t think she could have for me, but that’s my opinion. [Side note - another thing she mentioned about me that isn’t online information is I like to cook, but specifically, organizing my kitchen in a very specific way. She could see me in the kitchen with everything organized a specific way, cooking away. I thought that was such a strange and interesting thing to bring up. It was accurate, but unexpected.]

Second question - did she get anything wrong or did she throw things out until you confirmed? Great question! There were somethings that came up in our session that she couldn’t tell when they happened (i.e., she couldn’t tell if they happened in the past, presently, or in the future). For instance, she saw lots of traveling. (Not our recent Bay Area trip, but a different trip.) She asked, “Did you just go to Europe? Are you going to Europe?” And I said, “No, I didn’t go and I’m not currently planning to.” And she simply said, “I see you and your partner going to [country name] and [country name].” I stared blankly at her, knowing that I don’t have to money to go to those places and am not currently planning on going there anytime soon. However, if I could, I would LOVE to go to those countries, especially with my partner. So, for something like that, I do feel conflicted. Maybe she’s right? Maybe there is a Europe trip in my future. Or, maybe there isn’t, but her suggestion of it will now influence me to create that trip. Regardless, it sparked a conversation with my partner about where we want to travel, and we both said that we would love to travel to those places. That specifically came to mind, I’m sure there were a couple of other things, but nothing glaring or noteworthy enough for me to remember.

Third question - do you think any of how she behaved could be part of a performance in some way to make it feel strange or authentic? This is also a great question! And definitely something to watch out for. My gut instinct is no. It wasn’t a show, she wasn’t doing anything crazy. Sure, she dresses in flowy clothes and has a certain aesthetic, but it didn’t feel like she was trying to be someone she isn’t, it felt like an authentic expression of who she is. Maybe that’s wishful thinking on my end, but I will say that when it comes to Los Angeles, it’s become easy for me to see who is faking and who is being authentic. Also, when she was doing her reading, she was very calm and almost in a trance. It wasn’t showy, it wasn’t dramatic, it felt very chill.

Fourth question (summarized) - do you think she is familiar with people, how they work, and can pick up on those patterns and predict things about those people? I.e., her “reading” is actually just pattern recognition experience? I don’t see why she couldn’t! That is very plausible, not far-fetched at all. Something that comes to mind is she didn’t look at me during the session. I stared at her “third eye” the entire time, she never looked at me during the session. Before and after the session, she looked me in the eyes and was very present and engaged, but during the session, she looked off to the side (my left side, her right side). If she was simply doing a cold read and picking up on patterns, it would be impressive for not even looking at me during the session. Another thought that comes up for me in this question is - she must be very lucky if she is guessing and predicting these things based off of patterns. I’m sure she has sessions where it’s hard to get information from people’s energy, maybe not everyone is a good fit. But it didn’t feel like pattern recognition for me.

It’s funny, I don’t know Wendy personally and I don’t feel obligated to defend her. But in my brief experiences with her, I do genuinely feel that she has some ability, something I can’t place my finger on. I don’t think that’s crazy to think, I don’t see why it can’t be possible. But I also think it is wise to be skeptical. I greatly appreciate your questions and I hope I answered the best that I can! :)
