Just set me up in a high-traffic corner of your venue and the rest will take care of itself. There's a fee for service, but if you can't afford to pay for services rendered we can spare biting into your budget as I'm willing to work for tips in my jar. I'm intuitive and empathic, so something unexpected always manifests when I engage with the cards, making for an experience alive with intrigue and laughs. When I read at the Halloween party put on by a beloved Lakewood bowling alley and concert club in 2018, I was slammed from 8:00 p.m. until 2:45 a.m. The demand was so high, I was still reading while staff was stacking chairs and ready to lock up! Lessons and individual readings are by appointment. Individual readings, where we can take our time to dig in and discuss what's going on, are relaxed, intensive and intimate. You can book readings for your private parties, too. Gift certificates for readings and lessons are available.
