I recently attended an event at the Chakra Shoppe. While I was there I decided to try out one of the special mini sessions the owner, Blanche, was doing for this event. I signed up for their email event notices awhile back but never seem to get my schedule to line up to attend the events. Anyway..... I wasn't quite sure what to expect of a "Chakra Balancing" as I'm somewhat new to this whole thing but consider myself to be an "I will try anything once" kida guy. So with open mind I sat, should say laid, down for the session. I was SHOCKED at how on point she was giving how little I gave her to work with, she gave me excellent advise and I left felling as though all the issues I was having prior to the session had now received new direction / solutions. Now..... for the main reason I felt compelled to write this review. Blanche uses/sells these aura sprays. I know about the aura a little and have seen these sprays at other shops and events and I've always been skeptical. But holy shit, right as she is saying she sees my root chakra looks like it has been torn in two, she sprays my crotch area from about two feet away and I can literally feel heat coming from about that distance through my clothes. And that folks, that made this guy a skeptic no-mas. Blanche is a terrific lady with a ton of energy and her store is full of great things to help get you balanced. I totally recommend stopping by. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I had a reading and was also suggested I get a chakra balancing. One the service was overpriced because the service was bad as far as the Rekki did not feel any better and in fact felt worse and tired. I felt they upsell a service. Second, the reading as per their readers advice I followed a negative situation got worse and was soooo inaccurate. If I could give them 0 I would. Buyer beware! If you go for a reading and the person reading situations people etc in your life they should have ethical standards as "light workers" which I feel they are not. I hate to review anyone negatively. But per the persons advice there was damage done. I can take responsibility for taking the advice and not following common sense. But when someone says they are a "light worker" and you believe that they are you sometimes fall prey to negative advice. Buyer beware do not go here. And if you go somewhere do research have a referral because the consequences can be very negative. 0 stars! read more

Reading was really off. I mentioned a relationship that was not healthy the reader I believe April told me to stay in the relationship. Then she tried to get me to book a session with the owner. I don't even think a friend would give me that advice. It just shows you to be careful of the readers you see. If you follow there advice it can lead you into a dark whole. I am very surprised at her advice would she ask her friend to stay in a negative relationship. It also shows you when you get a reading how if you are not watchful you are putting someone in a power position to have a negative influence on your life. If I could give a big zero I would unethical and down right wrong. Do not let your foot pass the doorway big mistake if you are looking for guidance and truth. read more

I hate writing bad reviews but when I have a bad experience I feel obligated to let other consumer know. The shop is small but inviting I had a tarot reading with a reader name Joe. He first off was not accurate at all in the reading. My second issue was the advice he gave. It was also off and really bad advice. Afterward I was really turned off from getting reading by anyone due to the negative experience. Although later I did have a reading at a fair which was really good. It just proved that you must be weary of who you get readings from. If it's just for fun then it's no big deal but if you go in with the intention of getting guidance someone can really screw you up. For that reason I can't recommend this store at all! read more

Avoid at the front doors turn back at all costs. I went here for a tarot reading not only was it inaccurate but from following the predetermined advice of my life I lost a relationship that I now see was very not smart for me to listen to people who. Are not God, who have no concern for me after they take your money, and walk out the front door, who won't pay for therapy after they ruin your life. A small expense turned big and caused grief. Instead of answering the questions I asked it was circumvented and I was told that is bcus the cards were directing me. What to a year of therapy and a dear loss relationship. For your own good don't go it's not worth it! read more

I had a great experience at the Chakra Shoppe on Tuesday with Blanche! It was my first ever aura cleansing. If you are looking for an attentive, helpful, and safe space to clear past energy that holds you back from being your true self, then schedule an appointment with Blanche. The cleansing was informative and productive. It is great to have this wonderful resource in the city. I recommend the Chakra Shoppe to everyone! read more

Had a reading with an April. Why did I bother is the first question? Best to get readings from trustworthy readers. Inaccurate, waste of time, waste of money. Things she said not only made no sense but I felt if the reader was trying to lead me into trouble via their advice. Negative reader negative person! I hate giving one stars but when the person or business deserves it I will. I give the a no! read more

I had a reading there. I followed the advice of a reader April and I ended up losing my job. I know now not to follow directions of a psychic. It has caused turmoil in my life and my families. I wish I could take it back but I can't. Do not get a reading from this place unless you want to be lied to, inaccuracy and if you are not smart enough to doge a bullet it might destroy your life! read more

I've been going to Blanche for almost a year and she still never fails to amaze me with her Chakra readings. They are SPOT on! Her presence is so kind and heart open making you feel welcomed. The Chakra Shoppe is one of my favorite places in Chicago. Lots of good energy flowing through the building and wonderful selection of crystals, teas, etc. read more

Horrible read with April if I would have taken her advice I would not have any income. And she said there was good things that were going to happen didn't. Also tried to upgrade me to the owner to pay a few hundred for services don't go horrid experience . Don't waste money time and maybe your life. read more

Kudos to the The Chakra Shoppe for adding Henia Flynn to staff. Henia embodies what a true healer should be. I felt her genuine compassion and commitment to the two sessions I had with her. I would highly recommend (and have) Henia for a pure energy and chakra healing experience. read more

Blanche Blacke is amazing she did a chakra clearing and the spiritual journey, it helped so much. I feel like a new person or should I say I'm back to being myself. I would recommend this shop to everyone it has great energy, kind people, great products. read more

Not a good experience the energy healing was negative as well as the owner was talking during the session. The things she said were far from uplifting. I not only wasted a lot of money but I left feeling drained! read more

We visited as a guest in the this restaurant for lunch just today. We were entertaining friends from California, and enjoyed our visit. Kudos! read more

Bad experience, tarot reading and chakra session. Would not suggest to others.I will not be coming here again a waste of money and time!

Not a good place. Not a good place to go to. I would not spend time at this place. There are more accurate places

Wow this place is such a rip off ... don't go here they have a attitude never go here again

Absolutely a great experience, love Blanche. Highly recommend.
