Over the years, I have visited multiple psychics, psychic mediums, Tarot card readers, coffee…read morereaders, and I Ching masters--for entertainment, guidance, predictions, or simply out of curiosity. I have to honestly say that Veronica stands out in numerous ways: 1. Based in Manhattan and currently the *highest-rated* Tarot card reader or psychic on Yelp, her rates are very reasonable and accessible to most working-class individuals. 2. Unlike many others, she surprisingly asks for payment only after the reading. I chose to pay upfront myself, simply because I didn't want to postpone what I could do today--it's just a few clicks. 3. The reading is never rushed. She doesn't glance at her watch, give countdowns, or signal time limits. You may think a session will last an hour and a half, but by the time she has conveyed all the messages thoroughly and clearly, three to four hours may have passed--and you might even feel guilty for taking so much of her time. 4. She has a healthy philosophy about the future. She is strongly against fortune-telling, emphasizing that you are actively building your own path. She stresses the importance of manifestation: you attract what you project, and your thoughts and feelings shape your life. Relying on predictions risks robbing you of the joy in uncertainty and may drain your energy. 5. She does offer some predictions, though these naturally take time to unfold, so I cannot comment on their accuracy yet. What is clear, however, is her remarkable precision in reading the present: your situation, the people around you, and the dynamics of your past and current experiences. This insight may well come from decades of experience, as she is now 67 and has accumulated considerable wisdom. 6. She is refreshingly authentic. Unlike others who may pose as saints or defensive sages, she shares her vulnerabilities, past struggles, and losses openly, helping you navigate your own life issues. She is neither pretentious nor insecure--qualities I greatly value. 7. Above all, she gives the sense that she is not doing this for money. She is generous with her time and genuinely cares about her clients, as a long-time friend would. She mentioned that she found my face and demeanor intimidating during the reading, but in truth, I was observing her carefully, giving her no room for cold reading. Still, she connected with me intuitively, demonstrating true human insight and judgment. Overall, I would describe Veronica as more of a psychotherapist with an intuitive gift--which is precisely what I value. For now, I give her five stars, even though I have yet to see her predictions materialize. I will update this review in the future.

Goodness, where do I even start? I've known Veronica for four years now and have seen her every…read moreyear since 2022. I truly cannot recommend her enough. I first saw Veronica during one of the most uncertain periods of my life. I felt completely lost, anxious about my future, and constantly searching for answers. I was in one of the darkest periods of my life, shortly after my father passed away, and I can't thank Veronica enough for helping me through that season with her wisdom, compassion, and guidance. What stood out to me wasn't just the reading itself--it was the perspective she gave me and the personal growth she encouraged. Veronica didn't simply tell me what I wanted to hear. She challenged me to do the inner work, recommended books that completely shifted my mindset, and reminded me that I had a role in creating the life I wanted. I read most of the books she suggested, took her advice to heart, and over the next few years my life transformed in ways I never could have imagined. One of the things that has always amazed me is how many things she saw long before they happened. During my first reading, she told me I would meet the person I was meant to be with and even gave me a timeframe. I didn't love hearing it at the time because she told me I would meet my person after about a year--but only after I had done the inner work and was truly ready. She encouraged me to fall in love with my own life first, and I'm so grateful I followed her guidance because it unfolded exactly as she described. Today, that person is my fiancé. When I saw her again a couple of years later, she told me that my fiancé and I would purchase a home together and eventually own a business--things that honestly weren't even on our radar at the time. She also spoke about career changes, promotions, and new opportunities that eventually unfolded in ways I never expected. Looking back now, it's incredible to see how many pieces came together over time. The Prediction that shocked me the most was about the land and business that she somehow saw before we even thought about - because today my fiance and I own our land and business. Today, I've built a career I love and continue to grow in, started my own business, found hobbies that gave me purpose, become more confident than I've ever been, met the love of my life, and found genuine peace with myself. Veronica played a pivotal role in helping me find the direction, clarity, and courage to begin that journey. I've now seen Veronica multiple times over the years, and every session leaves me feeling more grounded, more self-aware, and more empowered. She has an incredible gift, but what I appreciate most is her honesty, compassion, and genuine desire to help people grow. She wants people to heal, evolve, and trust themselves, and that has always been evident in every interaction I've had with her. If you're looking for clarity, guidance, and someone who will encourage you to become the best version of yourself, Veronica is truly one of a kind. I will always be grateful for the impact she's had on my life and can honestly say she helped change the trajectory of it. If you're looking for an intuitive psychic, a wise woman who provides honest, authentic guidance--and you're ready to look deep within yourself--consider this your sign to schedule a reading with Veronica. It may just change your life the way it changed mine.

This course has been said by many graduates, myself included, to be "life changing." The course is…read morestarting this weekend (March 16, 2013), and I know a few women still on the fence about taking it, so I decided to write an entire blog post reviewing the program. The full review is here: http://www.thejauntywriter.com/2013/03/13/an-honest-review-of-mamagenas-mastery-program/ In sum, the pros of the program are : 1. It is great for bringing back the joy, fun and sheer pleasure of living 2. It improves a woman's level of confidence 3. It improves our relationships with men 4. It teaches us the art of conjuring (aka manifestation) 5. It gives you a great community of women for life The cons: 1. It is expensive 2. It is not about getting a game plan and getting into action for the accomplishment of your goals - that's just not the purpose of the program (more elaboration in the blog post) 3. It is radical, somewhat shocking, and not for the conservative or faint of heart. Overall, I am very very glad I took it. I don't think my life will be as joyful, my confidence with men as high, and my outlook quite as positive, had I not taken it.

I took the Mastery course a couple of years ago. The short version of my review is this: buy Mama…read moreGena's first book, choose the tools that really appeal to you, and use them. Find other women who dig the book. Hang out with them. Repeat. Explore other folks who are working in this sex-positive space; Mama Gena is not the only game in town, although that's kind of her schtick. Should you spend the money for Mastery? Well, first, if you can get on one of Mama Gena's calls before Mastery (she usually does a few), do that. That'll give you a feel for her approach. There is a recent Yelp review here, currently hidden, that gives you a good picture of the first weekend of Mastery. I would recommend unhiding it and reading it. This pretty much what I went through the first weekend. The remaining weekends cover money, health, men, makeovers, orgasm--there are a number of guest speakers. The class was always held in a large auditorium with at least 200+ other women. If it sounds like it's for you, sign up for Mastery. Yes, the hidden review is accurate: You will be asked to decorate your vulva in a room full of several hundred women who are also doing the same thing. If you've read the book before you go to the class, this shouldn't be a big surprise. I found it silly and fun. Full disclosure, I took a very early class of Mama Gena's several years ago, so I am no stranger to sparkles. :) You will not have to do it. There will be a number of other activities--doing a clothing giveaway, dancing, some ritual stuff--that you do in large groups--you don't have to do any of them. I would say, however, between the noise and the music and the helpers (referred to as Big Sisters), and Regena's charisma (she has a lot), it would be hard to refuse to do something. (I did refuse to do a couple of thing and felt fine about it.) Also: noise. I am not an introvert, but I did find the large group/loud music/noise part of the classes almost overwhelming. Nothing gets done in small groups. I would really, really recommend that the folks at Mama Gena's look into that. Even the most extroverted of us need some quiet time to process. If you have read Regena's books, you'll basically know her philosophy--and it's something I heartily support: women focusing on their pleasure (not the man's), sexual and otherwise, knowing their bodies, enjoying flirting, asking for what you want, connecting with their accomplishments (bragging). All awesome stuff. What I found really disappointing was Regena's claim that "no one was really researching women's pleasure," so she had to do it. This ignores any number of folks, from Masters and Johnson to the women who created "Our Bodies, Ourselves" to a number of sex positive feminists such as Susie Bright, Tristan Taormino, Betty Dodson, and of course, Eve Ensler, who were doing sex positive pleasure research before Regena took it up. She is standing on the shoulders of giants; everyone in her classes deserves to get to know their sex-positive ancestors. (Watch "Masters of Sex." Brilliant Virginia Johnson was getting women to take off their clothes and describe their orgasms in the *1950s.*) It gets even stickier when she claims that it was the courtesans of Europe (who would have been nowhere without their lawyers) who inspired women less fortunate to take up feminism. I believe Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton and most historians would have a few bones to pick with Mama Gena on that point. We can acknowledge history AND claim our power. Dr. Christiane Northrup was also a featured speaker the year I took Mastery, and, again, your mileage may vary on this, but I found her negative, xenophobic, and just plain wrong about science. Her previous admirable criticisms of the current health care system were now mixed thoroughly with astrology, biting discussions of the tango and the Argentine people (Dr. Northrup admitted she didn't speak Spanish), and finally--her theory that Alzheimer's disease is "created" by people who don't want to die because they haven't gotten enough love. I found that last bit almost too painful to bear. It's bad science and blaming the victim, all in one neat package. There was no time or place in the class to challenge Dr. Northrup, other than to leave the room. Which is what I did. The upside of taking this class was it really challenged me to connect with my own values, and I met some really cool women. However, after Dr. Northrup's Alzheimer discussion, I chose not to attend graduation. I thought it was interesting that there was no attempt to follow up with me to find out why I hadn't gone to graduation; there was no post-course evaluation--that seems to me Business 101, and especially disappointing, since there's such an emphasis on sisterhood. Mama Gena's staff only contacted me this year...to see if I wanted to volunteer.

Working with Andrew was instrumental in helping my boyfriend and I work through a transition period in our lives and enabled us to resolve a significant source of stress in a short period of time. Andrew skillfully guided us through a process whereby both parties felt equally heard, understood and valued. Andrew displayed an uncanny ability to zero in on the pertinent issues and drivers behind our challenges by asking poignant questions and probing deeply and skillfully, but in a non intrusive way. As a result he was able to get to the root of our concerns, facilitate our discussion and extract the facts on an even, neutral playing field. This allowed us to listen to one another openly, without letting our individual fears and assumptions cloud or skew the conversation. Before talking to Andrew it was as if we had a burden looming over us, holding us back from making any change or taking action. With his innate ability to dissect a problem and objectively, accurately and sensitively guide a couple to understand it, Andrew offers the priceless benefit of clarity. This clarity empowered us to take charge of our lives again with a clear plan to move forward....what a gift! I would highly recommend working with Andrew to any couple or individual struggling with making progress in any aspect of their personal or professional life.
