I offer private readings, individual healing sessions, talks, group facilitation (women’s circles), workshops, teach courses and work at both private and corporate functions and events. I have over 35 years experience reading Tarot and apply the art of tarot from a holistic and therapeutic perspective

Other modalities within my work include: Dream Work, Shadow Work, Colour Energy Healing, Massage Therapies, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Champissage, Nutritional Advice, Counselling Skills and Coaching. 

I work from the holistic perspective in order to 

• assist clients with their personal growth and goals

• help them improve their personal health & wellbeing

• help them improve their communication skills and authenticity in dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Using my psychic, intuitive, healing and empathic gifts I aim to help my clients identify their goals, opportunities and self sabotaging patterns to help them look at the best way to deal with their challenges.

My approach seeks to help the client heal the subconscious blocks and programming that creates negative core beliefs regarding themselves which often stems from internalised childhood trauma and family dysfunction in early life that may be preventing people from moving forward and feeling whole, healthy and happy. 

The emphasis of my work relates to the changes that need to be made and the work that needs to be done in order for my clients to achieve the life they are aiming for. 

We are all made made
of stardust!
Shine like the star you are

My Ethos

“with each thought, feeling, expression, action and choice we are constantly co-creating our own future.” 

The image of the Tarot reader as the mysterious "Fortune Teller" of old is a somewhat outdated concept in modern Tarot. The common perception being that Tarot is purely predictive and tells of a pre destined and unavoidable future. 

I strongly believe, as do many other readers, that with each thought, feeling, expression, action and choice we are constantly co-creating our own future. 

The events that occur in our lives are the result of our empowered and creative free will, that of the wider collective consciousness as well as the choices and contracts we made and agreed to in the pre life state to encourage our souls growth which may be referred to as destiny, all guided by Divine Spirit. 

Rather than being victims of circumstance and destiny we are the empowered co-creators of our lives!

Tarot offers a psychological snapshot of what is happening in the present, the factors that may have led to this point including subconscious blocks, beliefs and self sabotage, likely outcomes based on our current choices and how we can work with what we have towards the universal goals of personal growth and happiness. 

The question isn't so much "what will happen to me?" but rather" what inner work and external actions do I need to do in order to achieve my goals? ".

Many clients when getting their first reading are nervous. This is only natural. Tarot can be very insightful and can bring up the unexpected, catching us off-guard. It is mysterious....but please trust me when I say this ...it is not and never should be frightening!  

More than anything a Tarot reading should leave you with some clarity, some thoughtfulness and optimism and feeling prepared for what ever choices or experiences you face.

One cause of concern people sometimes have are the cards themselves. Some cards such as the Tower, The Devil and Death in particular have been regarded as negative cards. 

Every card in the Tarot Deck has both positive and negative connotations even the ones people traditionally consider the happy cards. 

The meanings are all dependant on context, on their relationship to the other cards they appear with and their position in the spread. For example one of the cards people often worry about the most, the Death card, often shows up simply to indicate a home move or change of job....as one door closes another opens....

I use a variety of different layouts, many of which are my own creation and unique to me. Which one I use will depend on your specific requirements. For example a relationship question or help with a dilemma may be best looked at with a different spread to that of a more general reading that looks at various aspects of your life.

We humans are social creatures and usually people want to know about people in their lives,  partners, family, friends, colleagues, neighbours and so on. 

I am happy to look at your connections with them and how you can best navigate your relationships with the other people in your life but I won't read for a third party who isn't present. Its a subtle distinction but an important one ethically ...

Tarot is not an excuse to be spiritually nosy!

If you would like to buy a reading but you have questions you'd like answered before you commit please contact me and I'll be only too happy to help you decide if a Tarot reading with me is right for you.

Tarot can be useful in our everyday lives and  this ancient practice remains as valid and relevant now in this modern age of technological wonder as it ever did. 

Every morning brings the opportunity
 for renewal and a fresh start
