In Italy that kind of figure it's quite common, some are nice old ladies, other are profiteers that end up charged with fraud.
I used this concept only for a NPC in a detective campaign long time ago but it could work well for a fully (abeit smaller) magic tradition.

In my humble opinion, most of those women have some combination of Fortune Telling, Pharmacy (Herbal)*, and Physician (Optional Specialty: Women's Health)*. Oracle and Esoteric Medicine would fit some non-fraudulant depictions.
*Both no higher than TL 4.
A Path for them should include rituals from Luck, Health, and Protection, if you wanted to go that route.
