COVR’s Board of Directors consists of volunteers from every part of the Mind/Body/Spirit community.
Tracee Dunblazier, President, Newsletter Coordinator & Membership Director

Alex Fernandez, Vice President, Website Coordinator & Visionary Awards Director
Alex has had a lifelong interest in all things magical and metaphysical. He began formally researching, studying, and practicing his spiritual craft in 1998 while in high school. In 2012, he began doing Tarot card readings publicly, as well as making magical oils and candles with a friend under the name Illusia, and later, Polaris Rising. Local shops in Omaha, NE started carrying his products and he began teaching spiritual classes there as well. The desire to help others and grow the community is what really drove him to open Hearthside Candles & Curios in 2016 as a place where people can come from all over the Midwest and beyond to learn, teach, shop, and connect with others of a like mind. In 2020 and 2021, Hearthside was voted Best of Omaha’s #1 Gift Shop by the public. One of Alex’s many goals with Hearthside and in joining the board of COVR is to be able to assist other small business owners with their dreams while helping promote equality and diversity in the Mind/Body/Spirit community.
