Neighborhood: MissionListen to Lanyadoo live every wednesday night at…
Announced 4 weeks agosuch a great experience. you can record the session, and listen to it again at another time so that things can really sink in. I feel like a pretty self aware person who sometimes gets stuck in the junky junk that sometimes overwhelms my life, but my visit to jessica was inspiring on a whole lot of different levels.
she got me, she got my familiy, she got my friends, my bf (or ex)- she's got it all figured out and by having it figured out, she knows what needs to be done to fix x,y and z. that's the true beauty i found. Sure she can tell me what my probs are, but she also laid out pretty detailed plans on how i need to fix them. detailed, and realistic plans. i left her office that day jazzed about what i needed to do, jazzed that all the things I had thought i was doing to sabatoge myself were actually confirmed by her, jazzed that i was now armed with a few handy tools to turn it all around.

Jessica is amazing! Yes she is! I have had the pleasure of working with her for several years now and I cannot overstate the significance of her counsel in my life. I consider her expertise in all serious decisions in my life and she is always right on point. I have referred several friends to her and they all, each and every one, have had a profound experience in a session with her. Visiting Jessica is a gift we should all give ourselves on a regular basis. Who doesn't need a little help figuring life out?!
Jessica Lanyadoo is amazing! A visit with her is like going to the supernatural therapist of your dreams. You leave her office with a deeper understanding of yourself and a stunned respect for her art. Astrology is real! So many of my little quirks and weirdnesses, not to mention to impulses that have created the bulk of my life, are astrologically based! I have made large life decisions based on her interpretation of the underlying astrological scene, and it has always been the right move. Her delivery is direct and funny and her office is an enchanting cabinet of curiosities, making the entire experience feel like you've dropped into some fabulous esoteric world and was gifted with revelations about yourself from a wise woman with super powers. And you have!

A few months ago I was chomping at the bit for my appointment to go see Jessica Lanyadoo. So many of my friends have gone to see her and came back at one with the cosmos. And who doesn't want that? So, I go to the appointment and was sorely disappointed that while Jessica may be a counselor, to my personality and situation, she was not at all intuitive. Practically everything that she suggested or intuited (sp?) was completely and totally wrong. In the last ten minutes I found myself saying that things were true which weren't just because I felt sorry for her.
1. You hated college, right?... um...... No. Loved it.
2. You don't like reading much, right? No. Voracious.
3. You were very close to your grandpa. Well... he answered the phone.
4. You're pretty much the top dog at your office? I get coffee at the same time of day as a few middle managers.
5. Your boyfriend is kinda girly? No. Though he does date a girl.
6. You have a lot of savings. (she probably thought that b/c the appointment cost so much) Nope.
Anyway, I'm not saying "don't go she sucks" what i'm saying is not everyone has a five star experience. But you might! So just consider all that before you fork over half a days pay.
I wasn't an astrology believer before Jessica but now I am. Ever since our session I've been really interested in Astrology and I've even been looking at my friend's Natal Charts and talking to them about their charts.
But back to Jessica. Jessica is incredible. Her intuitive sense coupled with her extensive knowledge of Tarot and Astrology has made her an extremely accurate intuitive. Not only did she "know" me but she spoke my truths. My deep dark truths that I hadn't shared with anyone else on this planet. The experience was so powerful I started to tear up. If I wasn't such a Virgo Rising I'm sure I would have started crying right then and there.
Yes she's expensive but she is worth every penny. Jessica's work altered my being more than weeks of therapy. I can't wait to go back in a few months once I've put into place all the changes I need to make in my life.

My Asrology and Tarot reading with Jessica was so insightful, it was like a months worth of pycotherapy in one hour. Although I have no other expierience with a pro like her, I can tell that she has a real special gift for what she does as an intuitive councelor. She was so quick to read me and gave insight to what I was going through that I left her office with a much broader outlook on my life.
I highly recommed her to anyone who is going through a hard time and is seeking aswers. She will not tell you the answers, but she definitly leads you there. How does she do it?

This was an experience that I highly recommend to anyone that wants clarity.
Sometimes truth hurts, sometimes truth feels good, and that is what she is dishin'.
Her sessions use your astrology chart and her intuition to give answers to your questions. She also consulted the tarot deck during our session.
I recommend recording it if you feel comfortable since when I walked in I felt like I was put into a meditative state and there was a lot of information to take in, some of it was internalized, some of it would be worth hearing again.
She is young and fun and very good at what she does.
I am going back.

Jessica is a gifted, caring, articulate counselor. She really helped me put some complicated questions into perspective. I appreciate that she doesn't provide answers, but actually helps you to think deeply for yourself about situations and feelings and motivations that may be troubling or difficult. Also, she has a great sense of humor, which is always a good thing!

more useful than my therapist! in fact, it really feels like therapy, except by someone who already understands what's going on with your life before you tell them. skeptics, your doubt will be vanquished! what a treat to yourself to spend an hour focusing on you, where you're at in life, and how best to move forward- with the help of someone who is professional, enthusiastic, and insightful. I have been having phone sessions with Jessica a few times a year for 5 years now, and it is always so centering and helpful.

I've been to see Jessica twice and sent other friends to see her. She's helped me step back and see the big picture in my life, which helps a lot. Even if you don't believe in astrology you should go because she's crazy funny, scary smart, and no bullshit. You'll walk out with a few answers and a lot of interesting questions on your mind.
Oh, also FYI it's crazy expensive...at least to me it is. Runs around $90 bucks. I didn't want to say that at first because I didn't want to put people off of the experience. But I think it's important to note that this experience is worth it even at twice the price. No joke.

I looked forward to this reading for several weeks, in part impelled by the recommendations on this page, and was enormously disappointed by what passed with Jessica as wisdom or insight. It is my opinion that Jessica operates at an extremely low level and did not offer any information that justified paying anything near this amount of money. I specifically requested a tarot reading and yet the first 50 or so minutes consisted of rather inane advice about how she didn't have to tell me there was injustice in the world and that I should dance away my anger and give it to the earth. I was repeatedly told I was ungrounded and yet I watched in quiet amazement as her energy careened off the walls, jumping from thought to thought, seldom finishing a sentence and quite literally never addressing the work at hand. Truly insulting to pay this money to be projected upon like that. She seemed so fragmented that I ceased even to ask questions or speak for fear it would send her off on the next tangent.
I seek psychic consultation for the overview it can provide and am not interested in receiving instead the philosophies of those providing it. I expect a psychic to be a channel for larger information, not just their own judgments about reality or life. In this 'reading' if you can even call it that, I heard a lot about Jessica: how grounded she is, how practical she is, what a mental health provider she is, and more. None of this mattered in the least to me, I simply wanted a reading, and yet as I struggled to keep to the subject at hand, I knew it was going to be futile, because this 'reading' was not going to be coming from a clear place and was - no matter what - going to be permeated with Jessica and her very simplistic judgments about reality - judgments which concretized & hardened, allow not for any movement in consciousness that would create evolution or growth. At one point in mentioning a tarot deck I'm very fond of she immediately seized upon it as an example of my ungroundedness and told me I should use the one she was showing me as it was more grounded. I gasped : while the first deck actually had images set on earth, with nature, objects, a foreground, a background etc., the one she showed me were simply figures or symbols floating in inchoate space. It was then it clicked that what Jessica calls groundedness is really a fieriness like a candle flame that flickers and dances reactively and in the end not only consumes but is consumed. Not once did I ever have the impression she had any sense of who was sitting in front of her, nor how patient and kind I was being just in an effort to get her to simply calm down and get into some sort of flow.
I came away very saddened that this sort of thing passes for help or psychic insight, and also because there was an aspect of the lost child to her, as I'm sure there is to all of us. Also angry, in that I didn't get anything near what I asked for : for better or worse, a simple tarot reading, as apparently not only are time management skills not amongst the attributes of her brand of groundedness, but I actually had the perception that she couldn't pull one off with any sort of depth and was in avoidance. And finally I wonder: Do people put up their Yelp 'shingle' as it were, and simply call upon their friends write recommendations? If not, I am at a loss as to explain how people have found any sort of nourishment in such thin gruel.

I just finished my fifth session with Jessica Lanyadoo and all I have to say is that she has really helped me get my life together.
In a nutshell, I have been going through some really hard times in the last three years and the reason that I have sought her out as a counselor is because she has an incredible ability to help me understand astrologically and therefore emotionally, spiritually, psychologically, and physically what is really happening. She has given my invaluable advice on what I can do to try to improve the quality of my life and live the life I was meant to live.
In fact, she has just encouraged me to pursue a relationship with the love of my life and to not allow other people's opinions direct the course of my life.

Oh my effing god! Can I add ten more stars? This review is loooong over due. I have seen jessica I think 5 times in the last 2 years and I wish I could afford to see her weekly. Then everything would be o.k. I am currently in the throes of my first Saturn return( if you don't know what that is go see Jessica, she'll tell you all about it) and it is remarkably not as horrible as people told, thanks to Jessica. I do believe that this human is gifted she has always been right on with me and sometimes doesn't have anything "good" to tell me and I think those have been some of the most life changing sessions for me (seriously, life changing). And she's incredibly funny and comfortable to be around. I think ALL of my friends have seen her now and we get together and talk about "what Jessica had to say" It's kinda funny. I talked with someone about her the other day while passing the time at the city clinic do you get my drift? A reading with her is truly a profound experience.
Jessica was at the Lex one night and just for kicks I paid $5 to get a reading. I'd never done it before, and I figured it would at least be interesting. I was skeptical of the whole thing so I didn't really tell her anything and just asked for a general reading. In 5 minutes she hit on a really raw nerve that I had been trying so hard to ignore. I was floored by what she said. I don't think I could say enough about how much respect I have for her. She's a sweetheart and laid back to boot. I highly recommend her.

Jessica was the second counselor I went to in my life for astrology, and I was looking for new ways of interpreting a big shift of energy in my life. I was so impressed with her ability to identify the big changes in my life, and offer explanation of why that was happening for me, and she suggested ways of using this understanding to direct my actions in a way that would be positive and effective for myself and those around me. It was incredibly helpful and the consultation was affordable, and I am grateful for the time well spent. She is also a friendly, well grounded practitioner with a great office vibe, and I will recommend her with 5 Stars.

Jessica Lanyadoo is completely amazing. She was recommended to me by a friend and that friend was recommended by a good friend and so on. Right before, I met with her another friend told me how impressed and amazed she was by Jessica. They were all right. She's friendly and professional and most of all friendly. This isn't the astrologer you see in the movies. Jessica is the kind of gal you wish was your best friend. I've recommended several of my friends to go see her or call her to talk to her. Unlike therapists, she doesn't just listen, she gives you amazing advice. She's kind of like a life coach who knows A LOT about you without you having to say much. She can do a lot with your birth date. Just talking to her put me a lot more at ease with where my life is heading. It is $90 a session but unlike something like a massage, you are so alert the whole time, it feels like the longest and greatest hour ever. In fact, there is so much information being stated, Jessica encourages you to audio record the session or take really good notes. Seriously. She's amazing. Before Jessica, I had never been to an astrologer and honestly, I would never talk to any astrologer except for Jessica! I've read the other reviews for Jessica and I can totally see how she helps people get their life together. I also want to note that Jessica is extremely OPEN-MINDED and queer-friendly. And if you meet with Jessica in-person as opposed to over the phone, her office if really cozy. Anyway, if you have always wanted an astrological reading to help you figure out what exactly the stars have in store for you and/or if you just need some guidance, Jessica Lanyadoo is where it's at. I can't recommend her enough. She also writes the weekly horoscopes for the SF Bay Guardian. I think she's probably booked like two weeks in advance, so call her n.o.w. xo
