“My work as a healer is meant to bring you back to yourself and your own power.”

About My Practice

I’m a tarot reader, Reiki master and intuitive creative dedicated to offering grounded, modern advice. Consider me a guide on your personal journey, a channel for helpful reminders and gentle nudges from your higher self, ancestors and guardian spirits. My work is based within the present in order to remind you of the choices that are available to you in each moment. 

Within my readings, you may encounter messages from your higher self, past lives, spirit guardians, loved ones who have passed, or other energetic beings that are assisting you on your journey. Working within the liminal realms that lay beyond our reality is strange work, and every session is different.

While I do believe that entities (both benevolent and malevolent) exist beyond our perceptions, I also believe the majority of our experiences are dictated by our personal actions and the cultural climate we find ourselves within.

The only sure thing we have is happening right now as you read this, and it is the actions taken in the present that help dictate the future. 

There are times when future events do appear in my readings and healings, but prediction is not the intention of my work. My sessions are focused on actions and exercises to practice on your own time in order to help you develop the discipline and awareness to create the reality you are searching for.

I believe that life is a dialogue between intention, action and a certain degree of chaos. Reality is in my eyes an educational institution serving up lesson after lesson. We are not meant to know exactly how our lives will unfold, and if we did, what would be the point of living?

My services are open to all beings regardless of age, race, gender orientation, or ability. I’ve been a featured tarot reader on Buzzfeed’s Snapchat channel and contribute my astrological and magical insights to Astrology.com.

If you live in LA, there’s a good chance you’ve seen me reading tarot at Soho House in West Hollywood or Employees Only LA. I also read at both public and private events throughout the Los Angeles area and practice Reiki out of Golden Folk Wellness in Highland Park. I love teaching the tarot, offering guided meditations and sound healings both in person and virtually, and I’ve been known to also lend my healing work to other species.

My Story

From as far back as I can remember, I was deeply interested in the unseen aspects of reality, beginning with a series of precognitive dreams during my childhood that opened my eyes to the mysterious nature of the mind. I devoured every book about ghosts, unicorns and psychic development available at the local library, and by the age of 15, I started studying the Tarot. 

Growing up in the conservative state of Indiana, it wasn’t always easy being so interested in the spirit realm, but I just couldn’t shake my love of symbolism, magic and mysticism. I decided to pursue an art degree, and during my time at the Cleveland Institute of Art, I experienced my first dark night of the soul during an internship in New York City. It was my initiation into the spirit realm, and suddenly my practice of the tarot deepened into psychic awareness. At 20 I began reading for the public, often within gallery settings.

My BFA thesis revolved around the symbolism of the tarot, dream states and magical thinking. In the final multimedia exhibition, I set up shop within the video installation I had created and read the tarot. I wanted my art to be more than a passive experience for the viewer. I wanted them to have their own magical experience, to feel as if they were walking into a sacred space with the potential to transform them.

After graduation, I left school feeling quite disillusioned with the art world, and upon moving to Austin TX, I spent the next 8 years playing music and touring across North America and Europe. I also began working within the differently-abled community, where I met some incredible energetic teachers and learned the power of grounded, protective action.

It was during a brief visit to LA in 2015 that I received a quiet yet impactful message from the spirit realm informing me that it was time to move to Los Angeles. A few months later I packed up my life and headed west, leaving Texas and my Saturn Return behind.

Moving to Los Angeles quickly removed relationships and self imposed limitations that had been preventing me from coming fully into my power. I began working as a tarot reader at House of Intuition and received my Reiki attunements soon after. In October of 2017 I fully dedicated myself to Receptive Tarot & Healing, offering my services to clients across the globe.

I also maintain a creative practice as a musician, sound healer, painter, and most recently, mother. My daughter is by far my greatest creation to date!
