I’ve been reading Tarot professionally for several years, a path that unknowingly began for me decades ago. As a kid growing up Catholic, I collected dozens of holy cards depicting saints and other figures and would carry them around in my pocket, rubber-banded together, like a deck of cards. I loved to take them out and meditate on each one carefully, often laying them out on my lap or a table for further reflection. It was the beginning of a lifelong fascination with archetypes, storytelling, and the spiritual quest. As I sit with a client it is always my intention to connect them with the richness and power of their own story, to see the possibilities, develop greater awareness, and move forward on their journey of self-discovery.
I love taking the wisdom of Tarot into a variety of settings – the local apothecary, online in a remote session, a corporate team-building event, a celebration, or a meditation retreat. The deck encompasses the human experience and we can find ourselves in every card. From moments of victory or sorrow to the anxiety of a big decision, we are there, walking in the steps of the Eight of Swords or Hierophant. No inquiry is too small or transformation too great for the cards to identify, clarify, and enlighten.
Writing is another great passion of mine, and I often explore the Tarot in my work. I regularly contribute my “Timely Tarot” feature to the online magazine Palos Verdes Pulse. You can explore the complete archive HERE. I’m also in the process of creating an oracle deck, which is a tremendous thrill, both scary and exciting. I look forward to sharing its progress here in the coming months.
