Regina Russell, aka Carolyn Schmock started reading cards in the mid 1960's and teaching card reading and astrology soon thereafter. Regina and her mother Carrie would give classes in her mother's house in Weymouth, Massachusetts. The classes grew beyond what the house was capable of handling so they purchased a larger house in Quincy, Massachusetts. In 1973 at that location, the two opened a card reading business called Regina Russell's Tea Room. For the next several years, this is where Regina honed her skills and tested her card theories and meanings in a real world environment. The business now employs over 20 readers, and to this day (50 plus years) continues in operation with several different types of readings available.
