The Wheel Within

12-month Deep Dive to Learn the Tarot

The Wheel Within is a 12-month group practice space where you build more self-trust to navigate life's transitions using Tarot, somatic awareness, and small, supported steps. You'll learn not just to hear your own intuition, but to trust it enough to follow it. By the end of three months, you'll have a repeatable practice and supportive community for finding your own answers, and the skills to follow through with action long after the container closes.

You don’t need to cross this bridge alone.

For over two decades, I've worked with Tarot as a living language, one that speaks through symbol, story, and the deep voice of the human psyche. The cards don't predict a fixed future. They illuminate the patterns already at work in your life, so you can access your own knowing with more clarity and more courage to follow it. Think of them as a mirror, not a map someone else is handing you.

My approach draws on a rich background in Jungian psychology, mythology, and universal archetypes; years of study in alternative healing traditions, including Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Native American medicine path; and my newest layer of practice, somatic awareness through the lens of the nervous system. Each of these is a different language for the same thing: helping you feel your way back to yourself.

The decks I work with:

The Mythic Tarot (1986, Liz Greene & Juliet Sharman-Burke) — a beloved deck that grounds each card in the archetypal stories of Greek mythology. The gods, goddesses, and heroes become mirrors for your own journey. Earthy, grounded, and story-rich — ideal for readings that want real narrative depth.

The Archetypes Tarot (Kim Krans) — a bold, modern exploration of universal human archetypes. Where the Mythic Tarot speaks in myth, this deck speaks in essence. Together, they offer a layering of perspective — I may work from one or weave between both, depending on what your question calls for.

Training & Credentials

I'm certified in Polyvagal Theory Somatic Practice, Mindfulness Meditation, Wellness Coaching, and Creative Facilitation, and I hold a Master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I'm also a professional singer-songwriter with two released albums, because I believe the same instinct that writes a true lyric is the one we're building here: the courage to trust what's true, and say it out loud.

These readings are offered in a spirit of reflection, not fortune-telling. Come with an open question, a crossroads, or simply a desire to see more clearly, and leave with not just insight but a next step you can trust enough actually to take.

Slots are limited and offered by request. I look forward to reading with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • All readings are conducted either via video call or in person. Contact me for private events.

  • Not at all. You don't need to believe the cards are magical — only that reflection is valuable. Tarot works beautifully as a psychological and storytelling tool. Many of my most engaged clients come in as skeptics and leave with something genuinely useful.

  • Tarot can be a meaningful companion during hard seasons. That said, it is not a substitute for therapy, medical care, or crisis support. If you're in acute distress, I'd encourage you to seek professional support first — and I'm happy to work alongside that, not instead of it.

  • Completely. What you share in a reading stays between us. I don't record sessions or share notes with anyone.

  • Open-ended questions tend to yield the richest readings. Rather than "Will I get the job?" try "What do I need to understand about this career transition?" The cards are better at illuminating dynamics than delivering verdicts.

  • No — and that's intentional. My role is to help you see more clearly, not to make decisions for you. A good reading hands you back your own authority, with more information than you walked in with.

  • Yes, but I don’t give them a lot of weight. Reversals add nuance and depth — they often point to where energy is blocked, internalized, or working beneath the surface rather than being simply "negative."

  • Come with a question or an area of life you want to explore — even a vague one is fine. You don't need to prepare anything formally. A few quiet minutes beforehand can help, but it isn't required.
