She's not local, but I've always had very positive distance readings with Erin Pavlina.

And often, I sometimes find answers to what I'm seeking from reading her blog.
The phone readings, which is what I had with her years ago are deeper and it was one of those "no one could possibly know this" sort of experiences. The phone readings gave me the confidence that she was connecting genuinely with me. Now, with that base in mind, I tend to go for e-mail readings, but the answers there are more general.
Hope you find what you're looking for!
