Her ability to see the true potential in people helps her to assist others in seeing the potential in every aspect of their lives…self, relationships, career, spirituality, choices, obstacles, events, people, etc., that will have a bearing on the present and future; helping people to be aware of how to change negative situations, actions, or trains of thought that may affect their future; turning situations into positive life lessons thus learning to move with the cosmic flow.

Colette: Born in Quebec, Canada, now living in Merion PA, Colette have been a psychic all of her life, and a tarot reader for the past 30 years. The gift passes to her by way of her mother, and from her mother before. Colette is deeply involved on a spiritual path, and prays for guidance every day.

Her readings provide useful guidance for everyday life, times of crisis, spiritual growth, relationships and business dealings. After a reading, people feel they have the direction and tools needed to embrace their life and a sense of peace in making their decisions. Many diverse people come for readings: the businessman in Grand Cayman who checks prior to making any deals; the geologist in the northwest who consults with her before she leaves on an exploration trip; many women, unsure about the path they should follow when in the midst of making very personal decisions ...there are so many who have come and left with heartfelt appreciation for the guidance they received.

The joy, compassion and love Colette feels when she is reading she is also communicated and nourishes the hearts and souls of all during the session.

Dr. Todd May has been a practicing chiropractor for 17 years. His Havertown Chiropractic and Wellness Center will provide the free chair massages. Dr May works with patients of various needs, including, acute and chronic pain, sports injuries, and wellness care.

Tyme’s Psychic Fair always takes place on the last Saturday in October. This year the last Saturday is Halloween. For a special treat Tyme Gallery is sponsoring a costume contest for children. The contest will be divided into 3 age groups, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8. The gallery will give a small monetary prize along with a toy. The judging starts promptly at 4:00 pm. Judging will be conducted by owner Edna Davis and Tyme’s children’s art teacher, Shelley Michael.

So come and meet the psychics, receive a free massage and don’t forget the costume contest. Also, not to forget the free refreshments and the artwork that line the walls of the gallery. If you come the fair is Saturday October 31st 11:00 to 4:00 pm. Come ask your question and see the splendor that is Tyme Gallery.
