Intuitive Reading Testimonials:
• I went to Vanissar Tarakali for two sessions of intuitive reading. Her assessment of my life process (where I am at, where I had been, what I am moving towards) was remarkably accurate, insightful, and illuminating. I have been practicing body-mind self healing for many years and Vanissar’s lessons have enriched my on-going practice. I have integrated what I learned from her — both the body awareness techniques and the intuitive insights — with my daily healing practice. Vanissar is gentle, honest, empathic and respectful and I highly recommend her to all who wish to expand their present moment awareness of their mind-body and to acquire greater clarity and insight about their life process. Thank you Vanissar!

• Vanissar is highly intuitive, caring and wise. She quickly described some of my traits in a way I hadn’t thought of before. I immediately saw that her perspective was accurate. Vanissar’s awareness was very helpful to me.
She also provided some information about my deceased mother. I recommend Vanissar highly.
