COVR’s Board of Directors consists of volunteers from every part of the Mind/Body/Spirit community.
Tracee Dunblazier, President, Newsletter Coordinator & Membership Director (2020 – present)

Alex Fernandez, Vice President, Website Coordinator & Visionary Awards Director (2019 – present)
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 offering Tarot card readings publicly, as well as making spiritual 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, 2021, and 2022, Hearthside was voted Best of Omaha’s #1 Gift Shop by public poll. 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 equity and inclusivity in the spiritual community.

Jessica Arsenault, Secretary (2022 – present)
For over 20 years Jessica has been working in the sales department at one of the world’s oldest and largest publishers devoted to Spirituality, Holistic Health and the Occult, Inner Traditions/Bear & Company. What started as a part time summer job quickly turned into a passion – helping to bring books and card decks to the Mind/Body/Spirit community. She manages Exports, Special Sales, and many Advertising and Marketing initiatives. When she’s not at the office geeking out on spreadsheets or assisting her customers, Jessica can be found roaming New England visiting her favorite places. From the beaches of Connecticut to the far North regions of Maine, and from Lake Champlain to Fenway Park, she makes her home in the heart of the Green Mountain State with her husband, two children, two dogs, and a crazy cat.

Patricia Miller, Board Member (2023 – present)
Patricia had a spiritual awakening in 2016 and since then her life has never been the same! She has always been connected to nature since she was a little girl but the doors blew open for her that year. She started making her own product line, Wyoming Mermaid, and sold items and did readings at fairs until she opened a brick-and-mortar store in Cheyenne, WY called Twinkle Twinkle Little Store in April of 2020. Her store is growing faster than she could’ve ever imagined and was voted Best Local Business in Cheyenne by the local “Best of the Best” competition held by the local newspaper. Patricia would like to keep spreading her wings in the spiritual community. She believes with all the sickness and addiction in the world, we need to help others have alternatives to wellness through mindfulness and balance of the body, mind, and spirit.
