ariel's handwriting that reads, "hello and welcome! Thank you for being here." with a heart at the end

Hi, I’m Ariel! (She/Her) I’m an Albany, New York-based astrologer, medium, and paranormal investigator, a witch of stars and spirits who’s been able to interact with spirits for as long as I can remember. I have a deep respect and love for the dead, the energies around us, the celestial bodies above us, and the beings beside us.

Helping you to safely explore, connect, and learn with spirit is a core passion of mine. I’m happy to be your occultist, neurodivergent, clairvoyant, astrology-obsessed guide!

My work generally encompasses natal chart and astrocartography readings, spirit team and deity sessions, and spiritual coaching and consulting, all focused on helping you safely explore, connect to, and work with spirits and entities.

Weird enough, yet? Great!

Testimonials

  • I chose to purchase “The Witch” session with Ariel. She was attentive and clear when delivering messages and made sure I understood everything before moving to the next topic. Ariel was open, and honest in her approach, answering any questions I had with patience and sincerity. She is a skilled practitioner who I will certainly recommend to others and seek out for future guidance.

  • This was my third call with Ariel, but my first aura reading ever. The experience was so much more than I expected. Ariel has a kind, gentle, and beautiful way with describing what she sees, and includes AI generated images to better illustrate what she’s trying to describe with words. This was extremely helpful. Everything she could see was so spot on in relation to me and my life, and her descriptions made so much sense. I’d love to do this on a regular basis just to see what has changed or cleared away. Highly recommend.

  • I’m at the beginning of my journey learning to connect with my gifts and infernals and booked a session with Ariel to get a strong foundation on where to go and how to identify my gifts. It was amazing! Speaking with Ariel was like reconnecting to an old friend, and I left our session feeling so empowered and joyful. I can’t wait to work with her again!

  • I couldn't have been more impressed with Ariel! During a time of major uncertainty about my next move, I booked an astrocartography session with her. Not only did she provide clarity and guidance, but she also left me feeling tremendously optimistic about my future path. Her expertise and genuine warmth made the entire experience incredibly valuable (I took over 18 pages of notes!). I highly recommend her to anyone seeking insightful direction and renewed inspiration.

  • After several years of pausing my spiritual practice, I felt it was the right time to connect again with that part of my identity. I wanted to contact my spirit team and slowly develop my relationship with them. Being someone who can be quite skeptical and always wants to fact-check things, her practical approach to spirituality and common sense convinced me to book a spirit team session with her. Ariel is a very gifted and emotionally aware clairvoyant. Thanks to her, I was able to connect with my spirit team, and know their names, looks and advice for me. Some also presented themselves in sessions with other spiritual coaches, which was another confirmation of their continuous guidance and support. I absolutely recommend you work with Ariel. She will validate your experiences and help you develop the confidence you need - whether you are starting or have previous experience - to do what works for you. I am very grateful to her and will certainly continue requesting her services. Thanks, Ariel!

  • I just listened to my deity session and I'm in awe. Everything [she] said made so much sense. The session [she] did for me absolutely exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to work with [her] again.

  • Ariel is one of the most compassionate, wise, and gifted spiritual coaches I've had the privilege of working with. I booked The Witch session with the intention of gaining more clarity and insight on how I could move forward in a new direction with my spiritual practice and feel more connected with my spirit team again. She went above and beyond to make sure I received as much information as possible in order to regain my spiritual footing and continue on with confidence and encouragement. The messages she communicated herself, and on behalf of my spirit team, were wonderfully nourishing and empowering. Before the session began, I'd felt uncertain of where I was in my practice and why I felt so lost after a rough couple of months. By the time we finished our call, I felt equipped with an abundance of information to take with me in addition to tools I could use to further my own spiritual growth. Ariel made sure I left feeling secure and content - like getting a big hug I didn't know I needed. She helped guide me back toward my sense of power. I'll never forget this session with her.
