You may encounter the word "embodied" in other spiritual contexts, often relating to physical practices. In my practice, "embodied" specifically refers to the process of making intuitive insights tangible and actionable in your daily life, integrating them into your mental and emotional worldview.

Literally, I understand the word "embody" as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary: 2.b. "to make concrete and perceptible"; 3. "to cause to become a body or part of a body".

When I provide full (minimum 30 minutes) 1-on-1 readings in a private space, I don't just "read the cards" or tap psychic faculties to tell you whatever the cards have to say. I dig deeper. I blend my knowledge of psychology and my experience as an educator to help you uncover the deeper lessons and themes, often finding answers to the questions you didn't even know you were asking. This intuitive, reality-grounded approach allows me to weave the Tarot's messages with practical, personalized guidance to help you move forward.

Think of it like this: a standard reading might give you a treasure map. An Embodied Tarot reading teaches you how to read the map, plot your course, and begin the journey.

An Embodied Tarot Session means getting more than just answers to your questions. We work together to find the best action steps for you to integrate Tarot's wisdom mentally, emotionally, and spiritually so you can truly live.

Yes. Always.

For full details related to any information you share with me or that comes up during a reading, please see my Privacy Policy.

The most important thing I need from you is a safe, dedicated space for us. This is the space I'll set up a mobile sanctuary just for you and where the reading will take place. Although I'm flexible with what this space might look and feel like, I do suggest that it includes a table. (Yes, coffee tables count!)

Beyond having a space for me to set up and complete your reading, I do ask that you be prepared with an open mind.  There's no "right way" to receive a reading. My role is to meet you where you are and help translate the cards' insights in a way that makes sense for you.

Nope! I can provide the full Embodied Tarot experience without any specific question or concern at the ready.

If you don't have a question in mind at the start of your reading, I can always consult the cards for a general overview and we'll take it one step at a time from there.

Your session is a collaborative journey designed for clarity and comfort. Here’s how it typically unfolds:

Phase 1: Preparation & Foundation (Before the Clock Starts)

First, we’ll get settled in the sanctuary space I’ve set up. We’ll discuss your questions, intentions, and any concerns. If it’s your first reading with me (or ever), I’ll cover some foundational basics to ensure you’re completely comfortable. This is also the time for any optional ceremonial touches you’ve requested, like a brief smoke cleansing or grounding exercise. Your session time officially begins only after we complete these steps together.

Phase 2: The Reading (The Heart of the Session)

1. Choosing Your Deck: You’ll select the Tarot deck you feel most drawn to from my collection.

2. Setting the Focus: As I shuffle, we’ll clarify the themes or questions you’d like to explore, which helps me determine the most helpful card spread to use.

3. Adding Your Energy: You’ll be asked to cut or split the deck in whatever way feels right to you—there’s no wrong way.

4. Interpreting the Story: I’ll lay out the cards one by one. For each card, I’ll explain its role in the spread, its general meaning, and my intuitive interpretation within the context of your reading. I’ll share any intuitive impressions that arise and note key takeaways for you.

Phase 3: Integration & Next Steps

• Synthesis & Recap: Once all cards are revealed, I’ll look at the complete picture to offer synthesis, additional insights, and a final recap. You are welcome to take a photo of your spread for your own records.

• Clarification (If Time Allows): Should time permit, we can draw a few additional cards for clarification or explore another question.

My purpose is empowerment, not prediction. I don't believe in a fixed future, but in your power to shape it from the present moment. I explicitly don't contribute to fear-mongering.

If a potential challenge or "red flag" emerges in a one-on-one reading, we will unpack it together. My focus is on helping you to understand the underlying energy or pattern, brainstorm proactive steps to navigate or alter the situation, and leave with clarity and a plan. 

Think of it this way: If the cards reveal stormy weather on the horizon, my job isn't to scare you with the forecast. It's to help you find shelter, pack an umbrella, or choose a different path altogether. In a private session, we work together to translate any warnings into clear, practical strategies. 

Your safety and well-being are paramount. If a situation requires specialized support, I will help connect you with trusted local resources, such as those from my "Outside Scope" resource sheet for the Newark, DE area.

No. I am not a mind-reader. And I believe in personal privacy.

My approach is to focus on you—your energy, your perspective, and the dynamics that affect you. I can help you explore relationship patterns or situational influences, but this is about your insight, not surveillance of others. If information about another person arises intuitively, my ethical practice is to refrain from sharing it unless they are present.

My focus is sacred in-person connection. However, I do consider providing my services online on a case-by-case basis. If you require virtual Tarot services, email me today to get started.

Although I never record a private live reading session, you're welcome to turn on your audio recording device/app for your personal records during your reading. All I ask is that you let me know during our pre-session steps so that I can confirm consent in the moment.

The relationship between Tarot and religion is personal and varies greatly. It's worth noting that Tarot is integrated into the spiritual practices of several faith traditions, including some forms of Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and Paganism, often as a tool for meditation or inner wisdom.

In my practice, I use Tarot for focused reflection and personal empowerment—not for fortune-telling. Many clients from various backgrounds find this introspective approach complements their spiritual path. I encourage you to explore what aligns with your own beliefs.
