Alexandra is fantastic and my friend and I can count on her for impeccable accuracy information. She's honest and doesn't charge a whole lot . Love her!!! read more

I had the most transformational and welcoming experience at Alexandra's. She's so knowledgeable, sharp as a sword and just a really warm presence to be around! Her shop sells the best crystals, stones and spiritual instruments for such an amazing price! She's truly a San Diego gem. The next day I attended her free class during her psychic fair in which she in-depth discussed how to interpret the Chinese zodiac, its history and how to channel the energy of the wood dragon. What an awesome store! Definitely will be back. Anyone who wishes to learn more about spirituality or is already tapped in MUST visit! read more

The owner really needs to sell this place and give it to somebody else that can take over , She looks to be in her '90s..... She's not in her right mind...... I went in there to shop around, I told her I was shopping around and over and over again as I'm shopping I hear her telling me phrases and sentences as if I'm leaving the place?.... In other words she doesn't like people to shop in the store..... The owner manager she's just not in her right mind, She should no longer have the store.... Needs to be somebody else to take over that will keep it going for many more years , that "will put Life into the store" read more

My only day off and I had been running around all day and I was headed down from North County and was excited that I had enough time to FINALLY stop at Alexandra Institute, I had been wanting to get a few things. I had started walking around and asked if there was a restroom I could use. The woman working said that the landlord didn't like people who weren't gonna buy anything to use the restroom and that I should go next door to the restaurant. The assumption that I wasn't going to buy anything irked me enough to just walk back to my car and leave. I had no intention of going back in and giving that woman any of my money. Horrible customer service. I'm really bummed because I was really stoked to check it out. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Nestled in a small shopping center off Midway is the Alexandra Institute, a non-profit organization that offers psychic consultations and new age/metaphysical services. Every month this place holds different seminars and classes on spiritual and psychic awareness, most if not all for a reasonable fee. While not exactly a huge store, the place offers a lot of goodies for those who are into the metaphysical. They've got a nice stone collection (a bit on the pricey side, however), Anna Riva oils, incense, a limited selection of books and Tarot cards (occasionally they'll have some used ones for a discounted price), and a variety of charms that would appeal to many people. Not to mention there are a couple chairs inside where you can sit and meditate or read a book. I like this place because a) it's got a library lending program, b) they have discounted and hard to find items, and c) the staff is very nice and friendly. Every first Saturday/Sunday they have a psychic fair where you can get discounts on readings and attend their free seminars. I personally like the fact that the seminars are free and they're held on both Saturdays and and Sundays. There's also the psychic jamboree which is similar to the psychic fairs (typically held on the 3rd Saturday and Sunday of the month), except I feel it's more about discounted readings. Psychic readings are available during the month as well, but they'd prefer if you call in for an appointment (the going rate is also slightly higher). Also, if you're into aura photography, you can get your picture taken there! Normally aura photography services are offered on the psychic fair/jamboree, but I believe you can get your aura picture taken any other time of the month by appointment. They're open 7 days a week from 12-6; definitely stop by if you get the chance. read more

Alexandra is warm and friendly personality! I've seen her multiple times and I believe she is great at what she does!

I love this place. Alexandra has a lot of wisdom and guidance. She's a great teacher as well and often holds (sometimes free) classes. Her heart is huge and genuinely cares about her students and their impact in the world. She also had a pretty decent library to look from! She holds classes for tarot readings, pendulums, intuition, etc. I'll be continuing to go here!! read more

Alexandra Institute - Spiritual Shop Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

I know I gave this place and Alexandria a negative review in the past. To be honest, Im not sure why other than to say my life at the time and my inner self was in a dark dark place. I gave this place another try & am I so very glad I did! I had a reading ystrday with Alexandria and boy was she spot on!! Really!! I was glad she didnt recognize me or my name from the prior review but to be honest it would not have mattered becuz thats the warm & extremely kind person she is!! I was so happy with my experience that when I come home & told my family about it, that my 31yr old son has a appt today at 2pm & my 27yr old daughter is making one for next week! Yelp is a scary thing at times for businesses becuz someone can have a bad day or mood & take it out on Yelp in regards to it...such as myself with the previous negative rating with this place! Im adult enough to say I made an unfair judgement on Alexandria but with this review I hope to fix that! Please believe me when I say if your looking for a service of this nature please please try the Alexandria Institute...they really & truly know what they are doing & you will walk out of there pleased! read more

The best spiritual store I have ever been too. It is definitely worth it. The energy you feel when walking in is so wonderfully positive

This place scares me. I notice they are teaching an "Animal Communication" class. Yet, when I look at who is teaching it, it is the founder of the center, and nowhere to be found is anything about her having any experience, or training in communicating with animals, which is different than just being a 'pet psychic.' I've seen this before, there, they offer these wonderful looking classes, but they don't have people experienced in that specialized field teaching them. This does nothing but put more uneducated people out there, giving legitimate readers a bad name. read more

Rude lady. I was only three steps in and a voice shouted at me saying, "Get out of here!"

Alexandra really connects with you to give you insight on your life and how to get where you want and what you want in life. I really appreciate how she tells you that your fate is 75% free will and anything you are not happy with or that she foresees u have the ability to change. It really puts into perspective how much you have control over where you are in life. I wish I could get readings from her everyday because I just feel so enlightened and relieved of life's weight after talking with her. She's more of a life coach with insight into the future. I recommend everyone to make an appointment with her. Her readings are $25 for a 15 minute session and every second is worth it. Please come see her you won't regret it! read more

This small metaphysical store has a lot to offer. However, due to its size, it is a little crowded. They carry a variety of items such as books, oils, incense, and crystals. They also do readings and have a lending library. The staff has always been welcoming and helpful. read more

I appreciate the variety of merchandise they have at this store. They always seem to have something new. I always hit this place up for incense and candles. I very much appreciate Alexandra, who's always warm and personable to myself and other customers that come into the store. I always feel welcomed when I enter the shop. read more

I have known Alexandra for over 12 years and continue to seek out her guidance and insightful advice. She helps me get the answers I need in order to move on and deal with my life and career situations. She makes me feel at ease - even when discussing difficult subjects - and can be counted on to provide honest information - not just what you might want to hear! I love that she is consistently direct, honest, sincere and most importantly, accurate. I trust her with my life because I know she truly cares and wants what is best for me. Sue read more

Nice small book store. They have a great selection and I found the people to be kind and helpful, without being pushy. There aren't a lot of metaphysical bookstores like this in San Diego anymore. So, I highly recommend. read more

This woman is a liar and scam artist. She does"cold" readings and asks you the questions rather than tell you things. Real such ice don't do that. She wants your money and her over- hyped web page is testimony to her lies. A real counselor wouldn't offer help via "tarot cards" and palmistry to help you out! Don't go to her shop and don't buy her stuff. You are better off reporting her.... She is a charlatan of e worst kind! read more
