Metaphysical healing arts are an incredible way to enhance your connection with the Divine. Unfortunately, these tools are often misused by those seeking to manipulate or harm others, leading to widespread misconceptions. This negative portrayal, fueled by media and those with destructive intentions, has instilled fear in many who could otherwise benefit from a genuine, healing connection.

Introduce yourself! Please tell us about you and your life, so we can get to know you better.
My name is Nichell, pronounced like knees and shells together. My mother named me after Lieutenant Uhura from Star Trek, Nichelle Nichols, and I'm honored to carry her name. I live a vibrant, plant-based lifestyle on the Gulf Coast of Florida, where I moved during the pandemic. The beach and this healing land have been my home for three years. Originally from a small town in Connecticut, I spent two decades in NYC working in the music industry, but life eventually guided me toward the metaphysical healing arts.
My passion for astrology began in high school, where I found comfort in horoscopes amidst my anxiety and shyness. Astrology became a tool for self-discovery and healing, leading me to get my first natal chart reading at age 20. Over the years, astrology and tarot cards became my therapy, helping me understand myself and heal past traumas. By my 30s, I started offering birth chart readings, and by 2018, I began working full-time as a reader and soul coach.
Today, I offer readings through various channels. I work at Pixie Dust Metaphysical Boutique and at Owen’s Fish Camp in Downtown Sarasota, FL. I am on the psychic app EverClear, where I connect with clients worldwide. I also attract clients organically and through referrals. My journey from the music industry to a life of spiritual work has been extraordinary, and I’m living a life I once only dreamed of.
Can you provide a brief overview of astrology and tarot cards, including when and why it was founded?
Astrology is an ancient practice that blends pseudoscience, spirituality, astronomy, geometry, and mathematics. It originated in Mesopotamia around the 3rd millennium BC and later spread to India (Vedic Astrology) and Greece, where it evolved into its Western form during the Hellenistic period. Early evidence of astrology dates back 25,000 years, when lunar cycles were recorded on bones and cave walls. By the 13th century, astrology became integral to medical practices in Europe, with doctors required by law to consult the Moon’s position before surgeries.
Tarot cards, on the other hand, originated in Italy in the 1430s as an extension of the standard four-suit playing deck. Today, they are often used in combination with astrology to provide deeper insights into a person's life and current energies.
An astrological natal birth chart is a snapshot of the cosmos at the exact moment of your birth, mapping the planets in 12 houses that represent different life areas. It reveals key insights about your personality, life purpose, and challenges. By understanding your chart and following astrological events like planetary transits, you can align your intentions with the natural flow of the universe.
Tarot cards enhance astrology readings by offering intuitive insights that reflect real-time influences on your life. While astrology outlines your soul’s blueprint, tarot reveals the present energies and decisions shaping your path, creating a holistic understanding of your journey.
What are the common misconceptions of astrology, tarot cards and the metaphysical arts? How do you address them?
One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding astrology, tarot cards, and the metaphysical arts stems from the misuse of the word "psychic," which often carries negative associations. That somehow someone holds power over another. Many people project fear, misunderstanding, and even accusations of witchcraft onto these practices, driven by misinformation and Hollywood portrayals. It's disheartening when people assume these tools are dark or evil, reflecting their own fears or misunderstandings. I’ve had clients sit in front of me, filled with skepticism, asking me to "prove" something or dismissing the energy entirely. But people can only have power over you if it is given to them. We are each the cocreators of our own lives, subconsciously or consciously. Readers offer seeds for you to choose from to plant into your own garden of manifestation. It’s up to you to make it happen, not me. For those who project a darkness into me, I kindly bless and move on from them, because forcing understanding does not serve anyone.
The truth is that astrology and tarot are profound tools for self-awareness, growth, and healing, not mystical forces of control or prediction. They offer insight into our life’s patterns, challenges, and potential, but we, as individuals, are always in charge of our choices and outcomes. I adore working with open-minded people who are curious and see life as an unfolding journey. To me, the magic isn’t in the tools themselves, but in the connection between reader and client, and the insights gained through an open and willing heart. My goal is to demystify these arts by offering a grounded, empowering perspective—helping people see that these tools are not about predicting doom but about guiding personal empowerment and transformation.
Changing the Narrative Around the Metaphysical World
I am determined to shine a light on the beauty and power of these tools. Metaphysical healing is not about tapping into some mysterious, spooky force. Rather, it’s about strengthening one's relationship with the “Divine” —what I refer to as a neutral, inclusive term for the higher power that transcends all faiths.
Metaphysical healing arts are an incredible way to enhance your connection with the Divine. It's unfortunate that so many are afraid to use these tools for self-understanding because of how they've been portrayed in the media.
I believe deeply in the importance of education and awareness, empowering people to view astrology, tarot, and other metaphysical practices as insightful, uplifting methods for personal growth and spiritual evolution. There’s nothing dark or evil about what I do.
These tools are merely mirrors, helping us to reflect on our own lives and choices. But, of course there is always going to be those who weaponize things.
What sets you apart from other readers? What are your unique talents and gifts?
All readers are different, just as no two artists are the same. What sets me apart is the depth of my holistic approach, blending astrology, tarot, and intuitive guidance with decades of study in healing arts like Reiki, Ayurveda, and herbalism. I don’t just focus on providing answers; I aim to offer a comprehensive experience that integrates mind, body, and spirit. My readings go beyond traditional interpretations—I tap into the unique energy of each client, drawing from their astrological chart to reveal not just where they are, but where they can evolve.
What truly sets me apart is my ability to merge cosmic insights with practical tools for healing and self-growth. My background in astrology, combined with years of experience working with different modalities, allows me to guide clients in a way that’s both grounded and deeply transformative. Whether I’m offering insight into past lives, emotional blocks, or soul purpose, my goal is to empower clients to make aligned decisions that nurture their personal journey. I also have a unique ability to communicate these insights in a clear, digestible way, ensuring that people walk away with practical guidance they can apply in their everyday lives.
Could you elaborate on the range of services you offer? Is there a specific genre or demographic that benefits from your services?
I offer a wide range of services designed to support individuals on their path to self-discovery, healing, and transformation. My offerings include astrological natal birth chart readings, tarot and intuitive readings, mediumship, and holistic healing sessions that incorporate Reiki, Ayurveda, and herbalism. Each session is tailored to the client's unique needs, whether they are seeking clarity on life purpose, emotional healing, or guidance through a challenging life transition.
My services are particularly beneficial for those who are going through a spiritual awakening or are already on a spiritual journey. I work closely with people who are ready to dive deeper into their inner world, uncover hidden truths about themselves, and connect with their soul's mission. My approach is inclusive and welcoming, but I tend to attract those who are curious about metaphysics, eager to explore their spiritual identity, or in need of emotional or energetic healing.
Additionally, I support clients in navigating life changes—whether it's career shifts, relationship dynamics, or personal growth—using astrology and tarot as tools for empowerment. While my work resonates with a wide demographic, I often find that women, younger individuals, and those seeking personal or spiritual alignment benefit greatly from my holistic approach. Ultimately, my goal is to help people feel more connected to themselves and the universe, providing them with the tools and insights they need to live a more harmonious, purpose-driven life.
Can you share some success stories or testimonials from clients who have worked with you?
“Nichell is the absolute best at what she does. I've always gone to see readers and she is by far the most accurate and intuitive person I've met. We had 2 in person readings and one over the phone, and even though we weren't together in person for the phone reading it was still one of the best readings I've ever had. I will continue to consult her for as long as she's reading birth charts and tarot, and I will continue to recommend that everyone must get a reading from her!” Rachel C. 3.2024
“The minute I started to work with Nichell, I knew I was with the right person. Every time I talked to her, she offers me deep insight which I am seeking. Not only does she show me the perspective, but she also directs me to a positive pathway. She always seeks out light in the darkness. She is an amazing person. Highly talented. She knows what she is doing.
She understands her clients. I recommend my friends to work with Nichell all the time. I highly her. Love to work with her.” Sudeshna B. 2.2023
“I have been working with Nichell since 2002. She is one of the best coaches and readers I have ever come across. Her intuition and psychic abilities are profound. Her wisdom and knowledge is immeasurable. She worked at Whole Foods as a healthy eating specialist years ago, where she learned how to cook plant-based meals. So I love learning from her about the vegan diet as well as herbs (she studied Western Herbalism). I highly recommend Nichell. She is like talking to a best girlfriend.” Mildred D. 1.2023
Tell us about your greatest career achievements so far. What are your future goals?
One of my greatest career achievements is when clients return to me years later with gratitude, sharing how the guidance or insight I provided helped them achieve something significant in their lives.
Whether it's someone overcoming a personal hurdle or a woman telling me she got pregnant after I saw it in her reading, these moments bring me immense fulfillment. The baby spirits especially love to communicate with me, and I cherish those connections that lead to joyful outcomes like new life.
My future goal is to continue helping others discover themselves, much like a lighthouse guiding ships through life's storms. I see myself as a cheerleader for people, boosting their confidence and helping them manifest their dreams and desires. I aim to expand my reach, guiding more individuals towards self-empowerment and spiritual alignment, and providing them with the tools to navigate their unique journeys with clarity and purpose.
If you are curious about how these eclipses will affect your personal journey, I invite you to book an astrology birth chart reading with me through the EverClear App.
