Meet Our Readers

Every reading is written by one of the three readers below, not by whoever happens to be free. When you submit your question, you can request a specific reader or leave it to us to match you with whoever’s specialty best fits what you’re asking.

How we match your question

If you don’t have a preference, we match your question to the reader whose focus fits it best — decisions and timing, relationships and family, or grief and closure. If your question crosses more than one of those, we match on whichever is the larger part of what you’re asking, and the reader will address the rest of it too. You can always request a specific reader by name instead.

Dorothea "Dot" Vance — Decisions & Timing Reader

Dorothea "Dot" Vance

Decisions & Timing Reader

  • Career decisions
  • Timing questions
  • Difficult choices
  • Relocation

14 years of experience

“A good reading doesn’t tell you what to do. It tells you what’s actually true, so the choice gets easier to make yourself.”

Read full bio

Dot reads questions about decisions and timing — job offers, moves, whether now is the right moment for something you’ve been putting off. She spent eleven years in operations management before turning to readings full-time, and it shows in how she writes: structured, specific, allergic to vague reassurance. If your question is “should I” or “is now the time,” it’s likely to land with her.

Marcus Obie Reyes — Relationships & Family Reader

Marcus Obie Reyes

Relationships & Family Reader

  • Family conflict
  • Friendship repair
  • Parent-child relationships
  • Estrangement

9 years of experience

“Most relationship questions aren’t really about the other person. They’re about what you’re willing to do next, whatever they choose.”

Read full bio

Marcus focuses on family and relationship questions — the kind that involve more than one person’s feelings and rarely have a clean answer. He trained originally as a family mediator before moving into written readings, and his readings tend to name the part of the situation that’s actually within the seeker’s control, rather than speculating about what someone else is thinking.

Imogen Castellane — Grief & Closure Reader

Imogen Castellane

Grief & Closure Reader

  • Grief
  • Closure
  • Letting go
  • End-of-life questions

17 years of experience

“Closure isn’t a feeling that arrives on its own. It’s usually something you have to write your way toward.”

Read full bio

Imogen reads questions about loss, grief, and the process of letting go — of a person, a relationship that’s ended, or a chapter of life that’s over. She’s the most experienced reader on the team and writes slower, longer readings by design: this is not a category of question that benefits from being rushed. If you’re carrying something you haven’t said out loud yet, this is usually where it belongs.
