I was never a believer in "psychics" or "mediums" until my life had trauma and a friend recommended…read moreme to Darlyne. First let me just describe your initial experience upon entering her business. You walk into her office and are usually greeted by a receptionist in a comfy atmosphere. Eclectic decorations adorn the walls and a witch is hanging down on a swing, think nothing of it. Darlyne is a unique reader, eccentric and down to earth. When you speak to her, you feel as if you've known her your whole life. She doesn't keep "files" of you, she's in her early 70s and been practicing her craft for over 45 years. One perk to seeing Darlyne compared to other practitioners in her profession is that she allows clients to record the entire reading. If she was a psychic that wasn't legitimate and weary of her own abilities I don't think she would allow this. But due to her decades of experience, laundry list of clientele and repeat customers of over 20+ years, I think that speaks for itself. Not to mention the wait time to book an appointment varies - at some point people have to wait 6-months just to see her out of sheer popularity, but other times people cancel for whatever reason and a slot opens up and they get filled immediately. So - that reason, along with the fact that Darlyne doesn't need to advertise due to her loyal following, are reasons enough to take the first step in wanting a psychic reading. This is a review so you're going to hear my positives and not so positive points. One thing people complain about is that you'll have to wait for the person's reading to get over with.... but Darlyne typically runs late. Sometimes a half hour, sometimes by an hour. BUT FOR GOOD REASON. She isn't someone who rushes people out and she doesn't look at her clients as a cash transaction. She looks at her clients as valued human beings, as individuals- therefore she doesn't rush her clients out the door. However, if you're someone who values legitimate truth and honesty, you'll be glad you waited. Once she gets started, Darlyne will ask what your sign is (i.e. Virgo) and ask you to pull X-amount of cards. Sometimes 15, sometimes 21 it depends on the spread(s) she uses. Again, you are allowed to record the entire thing so you can reflect after the reading specific pieces she tells you. I don't want to spoil anything but there are specific topics she is 100% right on and it freaks me out sometimes lol When it comes to medical - albeit your own family members, friends or yourself, Darlyne is correct. Ask the receptionist, there's stories of people she has warned them about with medical malpractice and people have lived 5+ years longer, predicted cancers etc. But for me personally, she has predicted things that I would never have thought of and then it happens. When it comes to relationships and family, she is always spot on but time frames are never 100% accurate, because life is fluid. Whether you choose to see her is up to you. Some people are weary on seeing someone who asserts they can "predict" the future, a lot of that isn't really what Darlyne is about. She can talk to you about auras, angels, and even loved ones who have recently past sometimes show up DURING your reading. I say this only because close friends of mine who passed have come through and I only know for sure because only certain information I know about them came out from the reading and it does give you chills down your arm, but a comfort at the same time. Would I recommend going to see Darlyne Absolutely. Is she on time every day? Nope. Does she give people information they WANT to hear? Nope, she gives people information that she sees and is the truth. If there is information you really don't want to know - or if you perceive is truly bad, she won't tell you out of respect of your wishes. But if you're truly wanting answers or even just a fun experience to treat yourself, she is the psychic to go to. Her readings have changed my life. I went from feeling hopeless to hopeful, and no matter what happens during your reading, you always walk out of there feeling better about something. So go treat yourself, she's worth it! ~*Rachel*~

A lot of staff, some a bit stressed but the guys working prop doors were cool. Six rooms for hockey changing and lots of blue panels taped up to improve the rink sides. While the wifi was poor (the phone signal even worse),it was free, and equivalent to getting 3g or ~LTE service, barely. Parking in front is paved, in the back is gravel. They did manage to be on time during the day (even a bit early) though their final schedule over the weekend came out a bit late for those of us traveling there. Cash concessions and lots of seating.

Came twice so far - once for practice ice and once for a USFSA test session. The arena itself is not too cold. I was able to sit in the stands and though I was chilly, I was not cold. Practice ice involves lots of forms - yes I forged my coaches signature in quite a few places. All staff encountered were super friendly. From saying hello, to happily answering questions, to taking a genuine interest in your skating endeavors. The test session was PROFESSIONALLY run. They kept to the schedule. Kept all non testing personnel in the warming room. And did not allow people to go through the doors while a test was in session. Test results were handed out within minutes of the test conclusion. I realize that 99%+ of the people reading this review probably have no idea about what I'm writing. But if you are a high level figure skater working on the test track - this rink treats you right.

This local theatre is a Reading institution and is such an important part of our community, helping young and old refine their theatrical talents. The beloved Hose House has been completely re-done and the new sound and digital capabilities are excellent. That being said, it still holds the old school charm that I remember and love so much! Last night I saw the performance 'Songs for a New World' and it was moving, funny, and rich with talent. A talented cast and a great show. I highly recommend stopping by and catching this show while it is in town this November!

Brett was so genuine and made me feel very comfortable from the beginning (I was pretty nervous leading up to the meeting). He is honest, upfront, and made connections to lost loved ones very quickly (FOR ME). There were connections made that I didn't even think would come through and Brett was SPOT ON with the details, names, and methods of passing. This review is no justice to what Brett was able to do and because it is still really fresh I am still in awe at tonights readings! I will definitely book again -- hopefully in person once COVID is better under control.

I need to know that if I am bringing someone on to create an event with them, that they will be above and beyond what's out there. At this point, I have had scores of readings with psychics and astrologers, and it's very difficult to impress me. Jessica's astrology reading blew away every other reading I've had over the past ten years. Her readings are a combination of astrology and...I don't know, maybe you could call it intuitive counseling? When we were finished, I had a full grasp of what makes me tick as a human being. Her reading covered the past, present, and future, and everything that came up in the past and present portions was extremely specific and 100% accurate. As for the future, we shall see...but I'm already beginning to see things unfold as she predicted. Accuracy and specificity aside, Jessica is also extremely witty and entertaining, and makes the session an enjoyable experience. I have recommended her to a number of my own clients, and every single one has had a jaw-dropping experience with her. If you are seeking more self-knowledge and understanding, if you feel stuck or conflicted in your life, or if you just want a hit of real, authentic magic, you need to see this lady.

I started working with Josie about 18 months ago. My journey with her has been life changing. When…read moreI first saw Josie I was a mess of stress, general anxiety, and chronic lower back pain. She has helped me understand in a visceral way how they are all connected by underlying trauma, and has worked with me directly and given me tools to process it on my own. I still have work to do, but now my back pain is gone, I am a more relaxed and open person, and I feel like I'm able to express more of myself every day. My work, personal relationships, and overall quality of life have all improved dramatically. Josie uses a breadth of modalities depending on the focus of our time together. She is deeply knowledgeable about the science and research behind each of her approaches, and can explain how each approach fits with the rest of the treatment. Josie brings a high degree of integrity to her work, and she is compassionate and warm. She brings humor, honesty, and joy to her work. I found it easy to trust her and to let myself be vulnerable with her. I can't recommend Josie enough as a healer.

We were looking for a local wedding venue and couldn't have been happier with Teresa's Hillview…read moreCountry Club in North Reading and their wedding coordinator, Sharon Shaugnessy. The function area had plenty of room for our 175 guests to mingle, with a large dance floor and a great spot for the DJ with his giant video screen. Their bartenders and serving staff were very professional, fun, and there was never a wait at the bar. There is a large deck overlooking the beautiful golf course and a side room that provided a nice place for our guests to enjoy the amazing appetizers, drinks, and music while we took our photos. Teresa's also provided a huge private area for the wedding party to relax and enjoy appetizers prior to being announced, and a safe place to store changes of clothes and other personal items. There was also plenty of parking and Teresa's provided an attendant as well. Sharon was easy to work with, was extremely supportive during the planning, and was in control and calm during the reception to ensure our day went as planned! We had some unique needs and special desires and Sharon was very accommodating. For example, we decided to have a dessert table in lieu of a wedding cake; we put our trust in Sharon to take care of that for us and she far exceeded every expectation! Our dessert bar was absolutely amazing and our guests raved about it! Additionally, she was so helpful with our request for food stations instead of a traditional sit down meal. The biggest hit...a mashed potato bar, with loads of toppings and served in martini glasses! Our guests couldn't get enough! Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be because of the planning and facility offered by Teresa's Hillview and Sharon Shaugnessy. If you are looking for a wedding venue in the North Reading area, we strongly recommend Teresa's and Sharon!
