Is there anything you won’t do a tarot reading/coaching session about?
As a tarot reader and coach, I have a strong code of ethics. I won’t give you specific (yes or no) advice nor predictive information related to legal, financial, or serious health matters. And I’ll never tell you what decision you should make, about anything. I can help you process the situation you’re dealing with, and provide advice on what’s going to benefit you right now and in the future, but I do not predict events. My tarot readings are for creatives of all stripes. As such, they are designed to empower, uplift, and inspire positive action and self-knowledge.
If I think a client is at risk, I will advise you to contact the relevant professionals and/or I will contact your next of kin. I reserve the right to opt out (before, during, or after) or decline my services and recommend a professional mental health worker to people who are in crisis or who would benefit from a different kind of support.
How is private creative facilitation/coaching different from therapy?
I don’t believe that coaching should ever be a substitute for professional mental health services. Rather, coaching and should be thought of as a form of non-prescriptive support that emphasises creating goals, supporting taking action, and accountability. In private facilitation/coaching working will encourage you to find your own answers and solutions, and help keep you on track, but this is your journey.
While facilitation and coaching is still very therapeutically informed, in this work we focus on making conscious choices, taking positive steps, finding meaningful presence, remembering our gifts, and reflecting what we want from our future, and how exactly we’ll get there. We rarely explore the past, as that does nothing to change it. Coaching and facilitation promote supportive, strengths-based, and solutions-oriented dialogue and action. If you’re looking to learn new skills (or unlearn some), develop a healthier mindset, and take control of your own life——private coaching could be for you.
What’s the NDIS and why do you only take NDIS participants in peer-to-peer creative facilitation?
The NDIS is so-called Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme. It provides funding to eligible disabled people to pay for necessary services, build a support team, access the community, and ultimately its goal is to provide choice and control to disabled people.
My peer-to-peer therapeutic arts facilitation services are made available to the relevant self-managed and plan-managed individuals on the NDIS via Core: Community, Social, and Recreational Activities (04_210_0125_6_1) and Capacity Building: Community Participation Activities (09_011_0125_6_3).
This peer service exists specifically to serve my fellow creative neurokin on the NDIS who are looking for a support person to engage in therapeutic creative expression and play.
I want a tarot reading, but I can’t afford one due to disadvantage.
I want everybody, particularly marginalised people, to have access to my work always. Find me on HeyHero, where I offer affordable, potent mini-readings via video!
What is your cancellation/late policy?
Cancellations that are less than 24 hours before a reading, including no-shows and requests to reschedule, will be charged the full price of the reading. Cancelling or rescheduling more than 24 hours in advance incurs no fee. <3
If you’re late for a session, your session still needs to finish at the allotted time. Clients who are more than 10 minutes late will be assumed no-shows.
Do you offer coaching scholarships?
Absolutely! Please fill out this form to apply for an 90% off** scholarship to the contribution rate of Come Alive, my three-month private creativity coaching series. monthly payment plans are available. Please note that I take on only 1x scholarship applicant per quarter to half year, depending on my capacity. I'm not able to get back to every applicant who applies, but you’re always welcome to fill out the application form multiple times, as circumstances change.
Will tarot still be effective if we’re not in person?
Each method to communication I offer is as effective as the others. The accuracy and type of information presented is the same, so choose the method that works best for you.
Can I record tarot readings?
Sure! I’m happy to record our live tarot reading on Zoom and send you the file, for strictly personal use.
How should I prepare for my reading?
I encourage my clients to really “show up” when you show up. Namely, with an open and honest spirit, a willingness to sink into (and interrogate) the present moment and how we might best use it to propel us forward positively, and a subject/situation (big or small) you’d like to collaborate in clearing personal blockages around. Come with a pen and paper, if you want to take notes!
Any legal disclaimers?
Why yes! You need to be at least 18 years old to purchase a reading with me. All readings are for entertainment purposes only and as mentioned above, I do not offer prediction services, make guarantees, or advise on outward decision-making therefore readings are never substitutes for professional, legal, and/or medical advice.
You don’t have many tarot appointments right now. Is that normal?
I conduct all sessions according to my schedule, so what’s available in the calendar is the extent of it. Please note that I open my books on a monthly basis. Subscribe to my newsletter to be the first to know when new spots open. :)
