Q & A: Readings by Natasha

What is your story? How did you discover your ability to connect and how did that tie into opening your business?

I’m a third generation psychic. I've been doing this for a very long time. It runs in my family. My great-grandmother and her mother had this gift and then I got the ability. I was nine years old, and almost drowned in a pool. It awoke my spirituality, and I knew then and there what I was meant to do. Because it ran in my family only certain people could have this gift. You have to be very strong to have it.

Were you aware that the gift ran in your family? I know that some people try to shield themselves, out of worry for a backlash.

Yes I was aware, since I am third generation. Most people do try to shield their gifts due to the backlash, but I feel that this a gift and you shouldn’t hide from your gift.

What was your first psychic experience like?

It was pretty crazy. When I had my near death experience, almost drowning in a pool, and age nine I saw a flash of white light and it felt like the world stopped for a moment. It happened so quickly, but it is something I cannot ever forget and I knew right when it happened that this was what I was meant for.  It was horrible thing for a nine year old to have that experience, but that was how my body connected at first.

What do you feel your business as a spiritual advisor will do for DUMBO?

I felt like my energy and my ability told me that this was where I needed to be, to help people through all walks of life. So I went with my gut and the messages I get from the Universe. I do not ignore those messages-they come from angels. My ability helps those who need spiritual advice and guidance. That is why I have been doing this for so long; I want to spread my ability and my gifts to help others who need it.

What is your most chilling experience you have had in a reading?

I do not speak about the readings that I do because they are private and confidential. I have a deep respect for my clients and our experience together. Readings will always remain confidential.

If I wanted to come in for a reading, what would you want me to know before coming in?

You have to be open minded, and you have to understand that some things may not click for you at first. When I do a reading, usually a few weeks later my client will message me and say “Oh my goodness this part was true! Now I understand what you were saying!” Not everything is going to be concrete, or happen that same day. So, be patient and open minded and know I am going to tell you everything! The good and the bad. I hope all of my clients leave with a feeling of relief. I want them to feel as though a weight has been lifted off their shoulders and they can enter the world again with a new found confidence and understanding of how they can approach things in their lives. I hope it helps clear up their path and makes things easier for them.

How do you feel about the overall energy in DUMBO after being here for over the past 6 years? Why do you love DUMBO?

I feel that DUMBO’s energy is very bright and it grows every single day. I feel so much progress has happened in the last few years. I love having my business here because I get to meet people from all over the world. I love that I am able to connect with people from all walks of life and help them have a clearer mind. I chose DUMBO because of the vibrant and diverse crowd that walks the streets every day. My favorite thing about DUMBO is the view from Cecconi’s! I just love the neighborhood and everything it has to offer!

How can someone reach you if they want a reading?

I do reading by appointment only, some readings take longer than others and I want to give each client my undivided attention. You can reach me by phone at (718) 414-3567. You can also contact me through my website, here. I am also located at 145 Front St Unit B1 Brooklyn, NY 11201

Our intrepid team member sat for a reading with Natasha. Here is what she had to say:

As I entered the door’s of our very own DUMBO Psychic, the scent of incense immediately began dancing around my nose which led to an energy shift. The gold adorned walls and crystals around me only piqued my interest as I waited to be greeted. I was excited to finally meet the mystery human behind it all. Readings by Natasha has a specific aura about her that is unlike most. During my reading with her I felt at ease and well heard. Her welcoming energy makes you feel like you are at home, and she is truly devoted to helping people with her gift.
