Policies
Cancellation Policy
24-Hour Notice is Required
If you need to cancel your appointment, please provide as much notice as possible. If you cancel your appointment within 24 hours or miss our appointment, you will be charged 50% of the cost of your reading due to short notice.
This is an appointment-based practice and needless to say, canceling with short notice, showing up late, or simply not showing up is very disruptive for my schedule and unfair for other clients who value prompt service. You are making a commitment not only to yourself, but to me and my time. Your respect in this matter is greatly appreciated.
I usually have a wait list so please let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to make your appointment so someone on the list can get in.

What People Are Saying
“Working with Melissa in this healing session was such a gift to give to myself. She fully saw me and all the blockages/trauma I have been struggling with. I found the breathwork and visualizations were very helpful in processing difficult feelings with a sense of safety. She helped me access a space that I had not been able to before, bringing a sense of strength and empowerment.”
“I have done a lot of work through the years of many kinds, and the healing session we did was so deep and profound, I do not/cannot recall a more powerful session. I studied and practiced Huichol shamanism for about 7 years and am familiar with the power of such practices. But this was still the most powerful I have had…perhaps it was my time. It was some sort of “everything” even though I know there is more healing that needs to take place.”

“Melissa helped my mom and I gain clarity after the tragic death of my sister. She was able to give us clear details that no one else would know. Her connection and messages gave comfort to us both. We finally were able to sleep after meeting with her. The police had not been able to help give us the whys, but Melissa was able to connect and gave us more than we could have ever expected or hoped for in a single reading. I would highly recommend her to any one grieving the loss of a loved one. Her connection is astounding!”

“Melissa has been the perfect advisor at the perfect time for me. We have worked together for the past 9 years. She’s got a style that is very practical and she’s thorough and very detailed. She’s also a very good listener, repeats back what she hears me saying to be sure she understands me. I felt like she came across as “being in service”, and she really delivers in terms of giving solid, useful support from the spirits she is able to communicate with. She’s also honest and delivers it with respect and kindness; she seems to hit things right on the head regarding me and my situation. Melissa has a sincere “vibe” that she naturally exudes, and you get the sense that she really wants to help you make the best decision for yourself. She’s got your best interests at heart. She’s endeavors to focus upon on what I want, and I felt like her clients really come first with her. I appreciate her and am grateful for her assistance.”

“I’ve been getting readings from Melissa since 2010, and let me tell you–she is AWESOME! Her AWESOMENESS is a true testament to the fact that not only has everything she’s told me happened–but her advice to help me along my path has been solid. What I like about Melissa is that she works as a therapist to provide you with tools to assist you along that path and its challenges; but she does so by connecting with the Divine. Melissa’s guides connect with your guides to come through to provide you with the best possible support from your highest and best. Also, because I live in San Diego, I am able to have in person readings, but because energy is omnipresent, I was able to connect with her via phone or FaceTime before she relocated locally. We are connected to each other through an energetic web so when we connect or acknowledge a person during our session, that bond can easily be made. It makes total sense! If you are looking for a quality reading–look no further!”
“Melissa is absolutely amazing. Insight, depth, accuracy. Very encouraging and supportive. I’ve been getting readings for over 12 years. I consider myself a connoisseur of sorts, and find excellent readings (such as Melissa Peil’s) to be therapeutic. I plan to book again with her when able, and would highly recommend her to those seeking clarity, and to those trying to move forward. She is no less than amazing, and is a true gift to this world.”

“Melissa has been an instrumental part of my life journey. The guidance I have received from her over the years has not only helped me cope with very difficult circumstances, it has allowed me to find my path forward. And now, her shamanic healing practice is helping me process my pain points so that I am able to walk into my future with grace. With compassion and empathy, Melissa supported me through clearing traumas of the past which kept me stuck in a cycle of despair and hopelessness. This healing of my spirit has made all the difference in now being able to move through life with confidence and joy.”

“A few months ago I connected with Melissa after losing my job and hoping to get some insight on what might come next. Fast forward a few months and EVERYTHING she predicted about my next role has come true. Everything from the industry, the location and even the amount of travel involved – all accurate to a T. It gave me great peace of mind throughout the interview process knowing it would work out – and it did! I would highly recommend Melissa if you’re looking for a psychic! In addition to her amazing accuracy, she has consistently given me signs during my most trying times to prove I’m exactly where I need to be. Over the past 5+ years of working together, I’ve found Melissa to be an invaluable trusted confidant. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“My reading with Melissa is something I will remember forever. Melissa is an awesome psychic medium. She is extremely accurate with dates and other evidentiary details. She was able to connect with my husband who passed away recently and described his personality to a T. I admire her for her sense of honesty and integrity. She only has the best interests of her client at heart. She is very patient and gives you time to have all your questions answered. She has the ability to see into the future and guide you on any issue which might be causing you concern. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the near future for another reading. Thank you Melissa for helping me connect with my beloved husband.”
“I felt very comfortable with Melissa. She was very kind and I could tell she cared. She was able to connect with me right away. She picked up on my issues and was spot on with everything. I didn’t need to give her very much information about anything I was seeking. Her insight was great. She didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear. I really liked that she writes and draws and records so you can remember all the important messages. I got so much information out of our hour long session. There was plenty of time for all my questions and for connecting to my Grams, which was so important to me. I’ve had plenty of readings by others and by far she was the very best psychics in Boston. I’m so glad I found her!”
