When you enter a Tarot reading with me you enter your own world. It's all about you, your curiosity, your potential, your space. I am merely a mediator between you and the Tarot. In my readings, you will have your questions and concerns answered, learn a little bit about the philosophy of Tarot, and most importantly you will leave inspired. I read with honesty and depth, but also with a lightness that keeps you uplifted.

I’m a Bay Area based Tarot reader and I provide readings at events, from shows to parties, weddings, ceremonies, corporate and more. I read with both the Jodorowsky version of the Tarot de Marseille deck, and the Smith-Waite Centennial deck. I started my practice in 2013, and after studying under Blue June and Brian Oaster of Catland in New York City, and various mentors in California such as Mary Kay Mitchell, I’ve crafted my own method of reading. I’m passionate about creating safe spaces for people to feel seen, accepted, and empowered. I grew up as a performing musician so I feel especially at home reading at events. From 2023 to 2025 I had the pleasure of being the house Tarot reader at The Secret Tarot Temple in Oakland.

- A flat surface fit for tarot readings and seating arrangement for the querent and me (whether it's a table and two chairs, or pillows around a flat area etc.)
- Enough lighting for the querent to see that cards
- Enough quietness for the querent to hear my voice (aka not right next to the DJ, band, speakers)
