The top floor of the old Victorian house in Willington holds Pam Favreau's law office. Downstairs, there's a gift shop that focuses on New Age-type items, as well as offering services ranging from tarot card readings to mediation sessions. That, too, is owned by Favreau.

Despite what some people might think, Favreau said there are similarities between legal practice and a New Age lifestyle. Both, she said, offer the opportunity for "right brain" thinking, which draws on emotions and creativity rather than logic and analysis.
