Dyan is a must call! She goes beyond the call of duty to help when it’s needed & conveys much compassion, understanding, & kindness. On top of that, the things she told me have been unfolding.

A Must Call
Absolutely loved her. I felt her sincerity in every word she spoke to me. She immediately mentioned something about this man drinking which I think makes a lot of sense. She described him so clearly, his good time nature covering over his deeper self which he will not let many access. I trust her insights and will take her advice in giving him the time he needs to sort himself out. She feels he is worth waiting for. She is a deep and extremely gifted intuitive.~ Id 3622643
Extremely Gifted
A reading with Dyan Garris is a guaranteed life-changer. Even aside from her awesome gift and extraordinary kindness, she instantly understands EVERYTHING and, by understanding, she shows the way forward to the right path.~ Id 3878544
Life Changing
My favorite reader. Each minute is filled with lots of useful, insightful information. Tunes in quickly. She’s predictive and incredibly helpful in following up with things I can do to allow the miracles to unfold. Clearly cares about her clients. Simply the Best!!~ Id 3686523
Simply the Best
I love this woman. Dyan was very accurate in her reading with me there was definitely no generalizations, everything was specific. She read me well and the other people involved. I look forward to her prediction coming through hopefully sooner than later. A true psychic!~ Id 3576161
A True Psychic
As a psychic myself, I have had a very hard time getting a good reading. She picked up on something so specific, only a genuine experienced psychic would even understand the concept. I also like that she does not use the word “intuitive.” You are either psychic or you are not. There is a huge difference regarding where your information is coming from. I am thrilled to have connected with her! ~ Id 3613909
Specifics
This is a well deserved and completely unsolicited testimonial. Thank you so much for the amazing reading you gave me a few weeks ago. It really resonated with me and made perfect sense and a number of decisions have been made and things are starting to fall into place for me. I feel quite liberated and the feeling is fantastic. The first time in years I can see the path ahead much more clearly. You have a real gift and you are both lovely, kind, wise and enlightened.

Powerful Ability
I am not easily impressed but Diane Garris is truly a gifted Akashic record reader and psychic. She was able to untangle my thoughts and help me clarify the choices that I had available to me. She was even able to connect patterns that were interfering with my situation that were past life issues. She is kind and direct and delivers! Amazed and impressed! Thank you Dyan for sharing your gifts! Five Stars!!! ~ Diana C.
