Davida
inherited her psychic abilities from her parents and paternal grandmother.
As a child, her mother studied palmistry and encouraged her interests
in palmistry, handwriting analysis, numerology and Tarot cards.
She started reading Tarot cards for her friends at the age of 15,
It wasn't until three years later that she discovered her abilities
as a trance medium while participating in her father's weekly meditation
group.
In
1980, she started to read Tarot cards professionally and continued
to develop her other intutive gifts--clairvoyance, clairaudience
and clairsentience.
In
1987, Davida began peforming readings in the Excalibur nightclub
with her friend, clairvoyant healer, Kathryn Haun. A few years later,
Davida met former Sun-Times columnist, Jeffrey Zaslow and began
a 12-year relationship working and coordinating a terrific group
of psychics for his annual "Zazz Bash"one
of the largest singles mixers in Chicago. Her little group of readers
was always a hit!
In
1994, Davida relocated to Los Angeles and established herself, once
again, on the party circuit, working with some of the finest event
planners, hotels and caterers. She also participated as an exhibitor,
performing readings, at several of the Whole Life Expos in
Los Angeles and Pasadena.
In
1995, Davida briefly performed readings online in CompuServes
New Age Forum. A few years later, at the request of an independent
producer, she consented to work as a telephone psychic for Psychic
Encounters, one of the more respectable Psychic hotlines, as
part of a research project.
At
the urging of several friends, she contacted a few radio stations
with regard to working as a radio psychic. KRLA-AM radio responded
to her inquiry and asked her to be their "Psychic Home Girl."
As is often the case in radio, KRLA-AM changed their format
and she was no longer on the air.
After
being repeatedly asked at expos, "
when are you lecturing?"
she took it as a sign that she should start expanding in that arena.
Her lecture, "Connecting to the Spirit Within," at the
"Adventures in Body, Mind and Spirit Expo" in Spokane,
was often "standing room only."
On
February 6, 2001, Davida was briefly featured reading Tarot cards
on Lifetime's television show Operation Style's
"Bridal Shower" episode. She also had been called
upon to read Tarot cards oncamera for several pilot television programs.
Davida
is currently a member of both Santa Monica Community College's
and West Los Angeles College's adult education faculties.
She offers classes on how to read Tarot cards without reading a
book. Her classes provide her students with hands-on experience
in a friendly, loving environment.
Davida
is a favorite entertainer of many movie and television industry
professionals at both their industry and private parties. She builds
relationships with her clients and they find her insight into their
life changes and opportunities incredibly valuable. She is a consummate
professional, ethical, accurate, and entertaining!
Davida
continues to see clients, work events, teach, and lecture whenever
possible. Her blog, "The Clairvoyant's Corner"
www.imrappaport.blogspot.com
incorporates Tarot, Oracle cards, astrology, channeled information
and any topic that she feels can assist people on their life path.

and counseling individuals and groups,

arts practitioners, and
