She never saw it coming.
A so-called psychic to the stars with several Yankees as clients didn’t foresee that pulling off a string of scams would land her behind bars.
Azra Shafi-Schelierini, 45, a self-styled life coach and spiritual adviser who has reportedly ministered to ex-Bomber Jason Giambi, former home-run king Mark McGwire and Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, has been in Rikers Island since July on a Manhattan probation violation linked to a grand-larceny conviction.
Tomorrow, she’s to be sentenced to more time after pleading guilty to drunken driving in Nassau County.
“She’s a pure con artist,” said George Giotsas, a Connecticut caterer who claims she bilked him out of $10,000 by ordering a huge barbecue spread to Yankee Stadium — even though she’d lied about working for the team.
In 1991, she befriended Met ex-pitcher and current announcer Ron Darling, and that led to work with other athletes. Darling called the former model “Nostradamus with a better body.”
Her circle of friends and clients include Derek Jeter and Britney Spears — and she’s even advised athletes to sit out games when she has intuited they’d be injured.
She was tossed in the clink in July for failing to pay restitution on a 2004 check scam, law-enforcement sources said.
