Peri Lyons Brilliance Consulting

Meeting with Intuitive Consultant Peri Lyons will feel as if you’re having a chat with a dear, hyperaware friend rather than speaking to a crystal-ball-viewing psychic—and that’s a good thing. Lyons is bit unorthodox in her tarot-reading and counseling methods. But any nervous, first-time future seekers should take comfort knowing that she proudly presents her intuitive talents without a shtick. (Okay, there may have been a few tunes sung, jokes cracked and celebrity name drops thrown in during the session, but you get the gist.) Instead, this writer received a warm welcome upon entering a cozy room Lyons rented for our hour-long meetup. After the introductories, she presented a bag of various tarot decks (not to be confused with a bag of tricks) and asked me to hold the knapsack in my lap while she performed an energy reading and shared the messages she received regarding my past and present. Without going into too much detail about me, she was pretty spot-on about my family’s dynamic and the childhood traumas I experienced. Once my energy was absorbed into the cards, Lyons continued to give a tarot reading. Not only does she offer clients awareness to what has occurred, what is currently happening and what may come in the upcoming months ahead, she also extends friendly advice and suggestions for how to help combat problems or roadblocks. (She'll even read your star chart upon request.) The time you spend with Lyons may feel like a much-needed therapy session, but it is one that includes color, fun and a lot of laughs and encouragement. She is, indeed, an NYC treasure.
