When I found out I was going to be in Elle this month, I was looking forward to it. However, when I read the article I was kind of shocked.
Several months ago, someone contacted me for a reading, begging to see me saying she was visiting Los Angeles from NYC, she’d had a great recommendation, she needed help, was leaving the following day…
It was easy to see that this person was an emotional wreck. I bent over backwards to fit her into my schedule that very same day. I did whatever I could to help her. Sadly the psychic here (me) was the last to know that this woman was a journalist and putting me to the test. Usually when people find me they want healing and to know the truth. When someone is in pain, I don’t stop to psychically look if they are trying to trick me.
Conveniently left out of the story out is how this woman was 40 minutes late, throwing off the rest of my entire day. Just because I’m a psychic healer for a living does not give someone the right to disrespect me and my time and I’m just supposed to be all happy fluffy rainbow moonbeams about it. If the roles were reversed I bet they might be a little annoyed or “cranky” and even “grouchy.”
Unbreak My Heart: Dealing With the Death of a Parent
When our Beauty Adventuress experiences a major loss, she gives up going it alone and finds comfort in unlikely places.

From the story:
“Sweetie, you want some real answers?” Michael says. “Go see Jusstine Kenzer. She’s got the gift.”
This time, however, I’m going to make sure no one can load the dice. I enlist Liesl to pretend that she wants a psychic reading. That way, when I show up, pretending to be her, Kenzer won’t have Googled Holly Millea and read my Beauty Adventures for psychic cheating. But Kenzer’s time is tight, so Liesl, now caught in our electronic web, has to send a series of pleading e-mails trying to persuade Kenzer to squeeze her/me in. Suddenly a cranky e-mail arrives: Be at her house in two hours. Liesl calls and tells me I better come clean with Kenzer about our ploy. “It’s not like we’re running a Food Lion sting operation,” she says.
Shaking Kenzer’s hand, I mutter, “I’m…not Liesl. I’m Holly. I’m a writer and—”
“Stop talking! It doesn’t matter what your name is.” A grouchy psychic? “Let’s get to it. I have a phone client in 45 minutes.”
We sit on her love seat, and Kenzer, a buxom, sexy brunette, lowers her head. “I’m going to take a moment and tune in here,” she says, closing her eyes. She inhales deeply, shakes her head, agitated, and says, “Are you on an antidepressant? I’m getting TV static.”
I just started taking Lexapro.
“Well, at least it’s not Prozac. It takes me 15 minutes to get through Prozac.”
She closes her eyes again, opens them, and says, “When we’re depressed, we’re suppressing energy. So now you’re taking an antidepressant, which is covering it up, but eventually you’re going to want to get to what this is to release it. Otherwise you’re just burying it more. People don’t want to feel what they’re feeling.” But you should.
How do you like that? I saw a psychologist who claims to be psychic and ended up with a psychic with the gifts of a psychologist. I like it. At the end of a fruitful, impressive session, I pay Kenzer $200 and ask the burning question: “Was I a witch in Salem?”
“Who cares? It’s not about diving into past lives,” she says. “The only thing we have control of is right here, right now.”
