I am a serious spiritual practitioner who has been on a spiritual path officially since my teens. I have mainly trusted my growth and practice to Buddhist philosophy but no longer see my practice as solely a Buddhist one. Even though I have chosen to no longer be a nun, Buddhism underpins my whole life's perspective. I am still deeply interested in the main teachings of Compassion and Emptiness. These two are my main practices and I do see the Dalai Lama as my teacher.

My path has led me to understand that we are responsible for our own mind and with support we can deal with and work through anything. I am a flawed human being and growth and change are the only real constants in life. 

Through all of the trials and tribulations I have faced on my path I turned to Tarot, in its various forms, to help me to see a different perspective in my personal pain. It has been an invaluable tool in helping me regain my balance and believe in myself. Every reading I have ever done for myself has lifted me out of confusion and given me the strength to keep going forward. 

I am passionate that we can use readings and tarot itself to get clarity on what we want and need and how to go about getting it. I am also passionate about the fact tarot will highlight when we are blindly setting ourselves up to fail.
