In Her Own Words
A Gift That Began Early in Life
My abilities began when I was very young, although I didn’t realize at the time that they were anything unusual. I simply thought it was normal to know things about people without being told.
My mother and grandmother recognized my abilities because they were gifted themselves and worked as spiritual healers. As I grew older, I had the opportunity to work alongside my mother for many years. Through that experience, I learned to understand and develop my own abilities, and over time, I came to recognize them as a gift from God.
What began as something I simply experienced became a calling that I truly embraced.
Mrs. Ames
“I don’t believe in telling someone what they want to hear simply because it may make them feel better. I tell people what I believe they need to hear, even when the truth isn’t always easy.
My Calling
Helping People Through Life’s Challenges
At heart, I’m just like everyone else. I’m a mother and grandmother, and I have the same ups and downs that life brings to all of us. But I have always been deeply dedicated to my work and to the people who come to me.
I genuinely love working with people and helping them through difficult or uncertain times. Over the years, many of my clients have become friends and, in many cases, feel like family. Even after our work together is finished, those relationships often continue, and that is something I treasure.
My Promise
Honesty Comes First
Every reading with Mrs. Ames rests on the same four commitments — in her own words.
Honesty & Truth
“When someone comes to me for a reading, I believe they deserve honesty and truth.”
Never Judgment
“My goal is never to judge or question anyone.”
Listening & Guidance
“I’m here to listen, offer guidance and advice.”
Peace & Clarity
“…help bring some peace and clarity to whatever they may be facing.”
After Your Reading
Finding Peace and Moving Forward
“After a reading, I hope my clients leave with a sense of relief and a better understanding of what they’re facing. Most importantly, I hope they leave with faith in God and the confidence that, whatever the situation may be, they can get through it.”
Relief
A weight lifted, and room to breathe again.
Understanding
A clearer picture of what you’re facing.
Faith & Confidence
Faith in God, and confidence that you can get through it.
“I believe everyone has some degree of intuition. Some people simply develop it more than others. If someone feels they need guidance, I encourage them not to be afraid to seek it. Sometimes having someone who will listen and be truthful with you can make a meaningful difference.”

In Their Words
What Clients Say
Our conversation the other day left me with a very hopeful, calm view of the future and I slept well for the first time in a very long time. It was like chatting with an old friend.
I have had several readings with other psychics, but nothing compares to my first experience with Mrs Ames. What puts her head and shoulders above the rest is her level of empathy, understanding and kindness.
Mrs. Ames has guided me throughout my life. I have never met such a genuine and caring person. She has put so much light into my life — I highly recommend her.
