I probably shouldn't because I'm selfish but I do want to share my experience with Rika.
I just want to say, EVERYONE connects differently. Just because we connected doesn't mean everyone will. But I have the upmost respect and love for her.
I called Rika back in February when things were getting pretty serious and heavy in my current relationship. She automatically connected, and told me things no one would know. Most importantly, she picked up my grandfather, who I was very very close with when he was alive. When someone says "who is an elder man that has passed" I get excited, but I don't get CONFIRMATIONS that he's there. But, she asked me this, "who is Bobo? Baba?" I would call my grandpa Baba. I knew it was him.
She referred to his orange trees at home, how my grandma had just gotten surgery and had a green quilt with flowers at the edge and butterflies around them. She asked me why he's calling me butterfly and I knew he was calling me by my Persian name Parisa, which means Butterfly. She referenced hockey and asked why my grandpa brought that up, and my boyfriend is a hockey player. On top of it, she nailed pretty much every fine detail of my life, from my mom's alcohol abuse problem, to our dad leaving us... etc.
I have been calling her probably once or twice a month since. Rika has become my friend, and we connect and talk like best friends. She has helped me so much in regards to my relationship. She taught me to stand up for myself, TALK about how I feel and be determined to make things work because boys are dumb (no offense) and don't know how to do ANYTHING. Rika helped me when times were ROUGH, like whenever he and I thought about separating, she assured me that he would never leave but I have to show him what I'm worth, and I did. Sometimes she'd yell at me to do it and hell, I did.
She never forced connections with my grandpa. If he was there, she'd ask for confirmation, if not, she would tell me he wasn't there. She connected to my boyfriend's side too, even mentioned his best friend to me by name, didn't even guess.
Our last call was last Sunday, and I just had some life questions. What was crazy was she asked me why I wanted chocolate milk and bacon so much. Funny story is all weekend I was craving the chocolate milk and sausages that were in my fridge but forgot to make them. When she does this, she confirms her reading, and mostly all her messages have come true.
I would give Rika a chance. I'm sure her queue is gonna be crazy now, but she has helped me like no other. I adore her.
If you have any questions, let me know!
