Hi!  So glad you're here

Picture
      Using the information I learned while completing a degree in Psychology, and combining it with the storybook of tarot, my goal is to help people heal and work through issues on a more therapeutic level.  My reading style is more like a good conversation with a friend rather than predicting the future in a mysterious way.  I may ask pointed questions to help find a pathway forward to bring concerns to the surface. Using tarot not only as a divination tool but also one to help address deep emotion issues and work through them.  Carl Jung is an influence of mine and he was also one to combine both psychology and visual imagery.

Tarot is a tool.  It is not evil, nor does it hold demons or monsters.  It is a series of images made up of archetypes and symbols that can be used to give guidance, clarity, inspiration and reassurance.  They do not take away your free will.  Your life is still let up to how you live it.  I use tarot as guidance, in ritual and spell work, goal setting and as a outlook for a specific time frame.  Using the tarot has always been an encouraging experience for me.   I hope that you will allow me to show you that with the help of tarot, looking within ourselves can be a fun and constructive way to focus on the positive and work through blockages.  One thing I really love about studying the tarot is it really is a lifelong learning experience.  There are so many ways you can incorporate tarot into your everyday life and so many lessons it can teach us to grow and become more whole (just like the fool's journey).  When we can start to see patterns forming as a result of our actions and behaviours, we can then use these to help ourselves out of situations before they happen thus actually using our free will to move in a forward direction towards happiness and unity of the self.   For a tarot reading to be meaningful, it has to be a collective experience. 

What To Expect In A Reading With Me:

1) First things off, I am not psychic so if I ask you a question in a reading it is because the cards are leading me in a specific direction.  You will get more out of your reading if you are open up to me so we can delve as deep as necessary.  A reading is a conversation not a monologue.  

2) Tarot isn't really used to tell fortunes and divine the future. It is used as guidance showing where you are, where you are heading and what is on the horizon for you.  It is important to remember that you have free will and your fate is always up to the choices and actions you take in our life.  We look at patterns, archetypes, advice and also try to validate your emotions on what surrounds you.  Tarot isn't about definite, it is about possibilities, although we look at outcomes, you are always in charge of your life's direction.  

3) We will have fun!  It's ok to feel nervous and/or excited.  I am so glad to be able to chat with you about anything on your mind.  I talk a lot so don't worry about having to come up with awkward small talk ;)

4) I don't read reversals as being the opposite keywords of the upright position.  I look to see whether there is tension or agreement with the cards around each other.  The tower does have a silver lining!

5) I won't lie to you if a not so nice situation shows up in your reading but I won't allow fear to take hold.  I will always look at the lesson we can learn from such an outcome or ideas to help you navigate through it.  

In Person Readings

I have grown and I am available for in person readings on a regular basis!  You can come see me at Path Basecamp 1911 Broad St. 
I am open evenings and weekends.

I also do monthly readings at The Broom Closet located at 801 11th Ave.  Those reading dates are listed below.

Currently all my readings are $60 each and have been for a few years. A couple things about this will be changing for a few reasons:

a) Undercharging oneself is detrimental in the tarot community just as it is in any other industry and I don't like being that person.

b) I am 100% confident in my skills and believe that my work is definitely worth more. I have been charging the same price pretty much since I started over 5 years ago. My knowledge and abilities have grown immensely over time and my pricing should better align with the quality and expertise I offer and making these adjustments more accurately reflect that value.

c) I would love to provide other types of readings with not only tarot cards but other divination systems I've been practicing and have developed such as, charm casting, witch runes, geomancy, lenormand and oracle dice and will soon have more of a menu to choose from with varying prices.

I've decided to gradually adjust my pricing by $20/reading every 3 months to better reflect the value of the services I provide. (Jan - Mar $40, Apr - June $60, Jul - Sept $80, Oct and on $100)

*I still want to keep my readings accessible, so I will offer 1 free reading a month to ensure that anyone who needs it can receive guidance without worrying about cost*

I appreciate every person who has been such a pivotal part of my tarot journey and hope I can continue to see your support as I make this change.
