What stood out most to me was how confident she is in her work. She explains everything with so much clarity and compassion, which gave me a real sense of peace. Every session with Lauren has left me feeling calmer, more grounded, and hopeful. She's amazing at what she does and creates such a welcoming, comfortable environment. If you're looking for someone who is authentic, gifted, and truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend booking with Lauren!

They've moved locations since then, and I will absolutely go out of my way to visit this magical little shop. This place is a treasure trove of metaphysical goodness, crystals, insence, candles, oracle cards, books, soaps, lotions, oils, sprays, you name it, they've got it (and if they don't, I trust they'll know where to send you). Their apothecary line is one of my favorites, I'm obsessed with the "Bug Off" spray during the season, and their "Cleanse & Protect," "Love," and "Luck" sprays and oils are staples in my spiritual toolkit. Fantasia Crystals is family-run, and the energy here reflects that every interaction I've had has been warm, kind, and helpful. Whether you're deep in your practice or just beginning your journey, this shop truly has something for everyone. Always five stars. Always a fan.

I am a big fan of their hand-rolled candles and found them to be the perfect gift for a friend going through a hard time.

The woman working there was very kind and let me wander without any pressure (major bonus). I thought I knew my stones, but they had a few I'd never seen before and was definitely intrigued. Today was not the day for new crystal friendships... but I may be back if they're still there. Limited incense selection, solid colored candle options, plenty of stones at reasonable prices. They've been there about 10 years, which is great to see. If you're into metaphysical shops and want to support a local small business, it's worth popping in.

I was so saddened to see Terri passed away in August 2021. She gave me hope during a time I was…read morereally struggling and allowed me to talk to my family who have passed, more specifically my mom. I'll forever be grateful to her for sharing her gift with us. She's was a special human being, my condolences to her friends and family. Here's the official statement that was released.

Ok so I had a reading and SRT healing session with Terri…read more Reading: Terri is specific, accurate, nurturing and funny! Love her personality. I understand there are many possible paths and Terri made each one crystal clear in every area of my life. I am referring her to my friends and family who are open to spiritual readings and would like direction. People who have a positive outlook on life and are ready to take personal responsibility for their path. Terri is empowering and I feel more empowered to help others. I admire her for sharing her gifts publicly and embracing her path. I know it's not easy because obviously there always people who have something to say, which hinders a lot of people unfortunately, but hey, we're not here to please everybody right? All I can say is MY experience was beautiful. Wow! SRT Healing session: I really didn't know what to expect because I've never heard of SRT, but I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like a spiritual spa. If you've ever treated yourself to a day at the spa, you'll know what I mean. After my session, I felt this cooling energy in my body. I love amusement parks with my family, it feels exhilarating to treat the kids to a day of fun and see their smiling faces. You just feel good inside and grateful for the experience, you know? Yup! It was universal studios with the kids awesome My husband noticed a difference in my energy without me telling him and I feel lighter. If you're still reading this, this is your sign to book your session. Terri is the Amazon Prime of readers, healers and teachers, yea there's other options, but It's worth the investment and just like Amazon Prime you don't have to wait. Book your session!

I have a long history with Vision Quest Metaphysical Bookstore. Maybe since 1997. I wrote a Yelp…read morereview for this store years ago but maybe 40% of my older reviews just disappeared from Yelp. I used to go to this bookstore when they were in Scottsdale on Thomas Road and Oak Streets. I make and sell metaphysical jewelry that I design mostly necklaces from semi-precious stones for healing and well-being. I used to consign my jewelry at the Scottsdale store and everything sold within 3 months. It was so easy I just bring it there and then pick up my check later. But when Vision Quest moved to the Phoenix location, the clientele there was vastly different from Scottsdale and it's tourists, and Phoenecians didn't want to buy my jewelry at the $60 prices for necklaces that the store sold them for. Owner Apryl told me Phoenician customers bought candles and incense and got readings. So April didn't let me consign jewelry anymore as it would stay in the store unsold for a year. But I go to the Phoenix store now and get regular readings by psychic reader Toney He's very good and accurate in business matters. Sometimes I talk to him almost every week or two times a week. My life is very in need of direction right now I'm making big financial ventures which Toney advises me on. Apryl is a good reader too but the staff tells me she's not doing readings for store customers now.

Vision Quest was my gateway drug into all things WooWoo. Back when it was on Scottsdale Road, I…read morewandered in and basically fell headfirst into crystals, incense, and candles like some kind of spiritual Alice in Wonderland. It was my first real intro to this world, and honestly, it launched me into the practices that are now just... my life. So yes, Vision Quest and I go way back. Then, like any long-term relationship, the shine wore off. I started hearing whispers in school about them not clearing the space, and once I noticed it myself, the vibe felt a little off. Combine that with discovering other shops that had better prices and fresh energy? Yeah, I strayed. Cut to tonight: my go-to WooWoo dealer (aka my favorite candle spot) was CLOSED. Dire situation. My altar was looking at me like, "You really gonna let me go dark?" So, I dragged myself over to Vision Quest. And you know what? The whole vibe felt different... lighter, fresher, like someone saged the place within an inch of its life. I actually caught myself thinking, "Wait, why did I stop coming here again?" Candles acquired. Yes, they were a whopping 50¢ instead of my usual 30¢ (so, call me thrifty), and the wax felt like it came from a slightly less fancy bee or paraffin farm. But in an emergency? Totally did the job. And so, Vision Quest is like that ex you bump into years later and think, "Huh... maybe they got their act together." I may not be back every week, but I'm definitely glad it's still around when the WooWoo emergencies hit.

I first visited Valynda at Gentle Truth Healing on Dec 24th BY APPOINTMENT ONLY for the crystal…read morelight therapy AKA... chromotherapy on steroids!!! Colored lights that correlate to your chakras pass through blessed Clear Quartz Crystals and rest atop your body's chakras. (Plus, spirits and beings made available by John of God metaphysically/psychically work on your body, too.) This process reminds me of acupuncture..that's NOT physical; it's like psychic acupuncture. This is a bit far-out for most people, but you can watch via YouTube videos an interview of John of God with Oprah or Wayne Dyer about his metaphysical healing. My 1-hour session was possible via Valynda's John of God crystal lamp she purchased with John's permission. (Research John of God, Spiritual Healer & Psychic Surgery). It ships from Brazil where the mystic lives and works. The lamp is too expensive for me to purchase right now for personal home therapy, so I did a session at her location. The hour spent on a massage table under the lamp in a meditative state passed by so quickly I thought only 30 minutes had passed. I released so much negative energy that I cried during the session. I did feel a few quivers in one of my legs but that didn't last long. You don't have to wear all white clothing, but it could help since his clients are required to wear all white at his healing "casa" in Brazil. Ask Valynda to make sure the crystal light beams are aligned correctly on your chakras before she leaves the room. After she leaves, don't adjust your position. When I left, I felt brighter, lighter and much more relaxed and energetic. My headache was gone! Be sure to leave with First Visit coupons to share with your friends! CASH ONLY PAYMENTS.

After an hour on the bed in meditation, I left feeling really drained and spacey. I arrived feeling "normal," so I feel that something had happened to make me feel spaced out.
