Four questions to settle before you book
- What kind of answer do you want? Some readers are direct and practical; others take a reflective, coaching or spiritual approach. Profile lines like “clairaudient”, “Lenormand” or “motivational coach” tell you a lot.
- In the shop or on the phone? Every reader in this guide also offers phone readings, and Mychal reads only by phone.
- Which language? Rebecca Martinez and Alexander D. Santiago read in English and Spanish.
- How long? Fifteen minutes (from $35 with most readers) suits one question; 30 minutes gives room for a full spread. Specialty sessions, such as Mychal’s one-hour astrology or Qabalistic tarot, are priced on the reader’s profile and on Square.
What a good reading experience looks like
- The price is clear before you pay. At Namaste, Square shows the session length, price and cancellation terms before you confirm.
- You choose what to share. A reader doesn’t need your life story to begin.
- It’s a conversation. You can ask what a card means and how it connects to your question.
- No pressure to buy more. Be cautious anywhere you’re told you must pay extra to lift a curse or “fix” bad luck. Readings are for reflection, not guarantees.
