It looks like she needs an ethics course!…read more I usually don't go to these, but we had extra time in the area and decided to try it out. Almost immediately, the Romani fortune teller pushed for an upgrade from the $95 10-card reading to an approximately $285 session, claiming I had too many questions for the basic service. During the reading, she said we had blocked energy for 50 years and I wouldn't get married without intervention. Her solution? A $750 "chakra cleanse" to remove the blockage. She also has complete packages with other services included available for $3,400. I think she's the most aggressive teller I've been to or seen. I don't actually believe I need this cleanse and I don't plan on getting one, but just out of curiosity I looked it up- typical chakra cleansing sessions in California range from $120-350, making her $750 fee more than double the standard rate. Her scare tactics felt manipulative, especially when targeting personal insecurities. While she did ask upfront whether I wanted to hear only positive predictions (I chose to hear both good and bad), the experience felt like a manipulative upsell. I left feeling drained and uncomfortable with the whole interaction. She seemed to be too much about the $$$$, and using scare tactics on hurt people isn't right. I felt drained after my session with her, upset she tried to do that on me, and dirty as if I now have bad juju on me. I guess this is standard and typical in these readings, but I don't like being asked to give my name, birthday, or personal identifiable information to people I don't know (I didn't, I gave a fake name and birthday). To be fair: She gave some helpful advice about a sick family member and a friend's legal issue. Her furniture is beautiful, and I do find Romani culture fascinating. She has some beautiful cultural artifacts in her space, and she gave us small gift bags that contained crosses and prayers on our way out. Still, it left a bad taste in my mouth how she tried telling me I needed a $750 cleanse. That required immediate expensive intervention felt manipulative, especially when she emphasized I "should have done this earlier" - classic pressure tactics to create urgency. I had some bad things come up in my reading (and apparently the $750 cleanse would help)....I don't feel it's good to get some of what these fortune tellers say in your head. They may be wrong, and you may act accordingly. I do believe she genuinely believes in a lot of what she's saying, but some of it is just scare tactics. After my session we stopped by a Russian Church in the area and prayed- that's what we should be doing- and it was free (except for the donation for candles).

The service is great Jose and Tanya always do a great job with providing good attentive service, they'll direct you to the product that you're looking for. The products itself are of value the price is worth the energy put on the work that you have paid for. If you want top spiritual work come to my Madrina @ Botanica Olokun. I also want to bring this to Carla M attention and everyone else that reads this review. Carla M has posted a review about how my Madrina took so long to do her reading, how her reading didn't go as how she wanted. Based on her experience her reading with my Madrina didn't go as good as she wanted but my Madrina asked her for feedback yet Carla couldn't be honest with Madrina in person, she goes to yelp instead and writes a yelp review, that is all lies. Carla has a tendency going to spiritual worker to spiritual worker to try to get an "accurate " reading then she calls people scam artist, writes bad reviews on their page and tries to make their business look bad. The real scam artist is her robbing of peoples energy and writing lies on reviews. Carla next time don't look for a reading look for a limpia you need it girl. Stop spreading lies of my Madrina stop messing with my Ile. Girl you have no idea what you have done to yourself. I suggest you do your research before going to someone and not know who spiritually protects that person. Good luck because you just messed up your blessings if you had any which I doubt.

I recently came to this place at the urging of a friend who had gotten tarot readings here. I decided I would give it a shot, if only to see what this whole thing was like. I don't want to give away the process of this whole thing, because it seemed kinda cool, so I'll skip that and tell you the results. Some of the things that I was told were pretty generic ("you will face a struggle...") that you get in fortune cookies. But some of the other stuff was so scary accurate, that it's creepy. Like "the girl you met the other night, the blond one with light skin? she's not into you like that." HOW DO YOU KNOW I JUST MET SOMEONE LIKE THAT?! Creepy, but good to know I should stop wasting my time with her. That was good. They also sell some mystical doodads here. I don't know that they work or not, except for they do: she told me to buy some inexpensive little thing here and follow a certain procedure with it, and I would reach the goal I was after (which I would not like to share). It worked. Or maybe it was coincidence. Or maybe it worked. In any case, I'll be back soon. You see, I just met this brunette with lighter skin...
