This work - the real work - is not visible or measurable, and no one is going to offer you a certificate of achievement for your efforts. However, it is one of the most life enriching, soul expanding, nourishing process that you can go through, and it is integral to our healing process.

Inner work - or shadow work as it can be called - is an umbrella term for practises that support us to intentionally connect into our inner world/sub-conscious (our body and intuition) to uncover the underlying causes of dis-ease, ill health, discomfort and detrimental patterns etc. This can be through journalling, art, poetry, tarot, somatic talking therapies, hypnosis, shamanic journeys, meditation and so on...

From this space of deepened personal understanding, we are empowered to take aligned action in the world, were we show up from a more regulated, loving and joyful space - to actually live and thrive, not just survive.

Inner work has led to profound shifts in my own life - more so than I ever experienced in the modern western 'mental health' system - which has fuelled a passion within me to share this remembering with others, so that this healing may ripple out through our communities, for a healthier and happier world.

A healer/practitioner does not heal you; they simply support you into the right conditions for you to heal yourself. We are all our own healers - our bodies are innately wired to come into balance, we need only claim our power and believe in ourselves - so whether you choose to work with me, or find you own path forward, I hope you truly find so much nourishment within shadow work.

Each session is intended to offer the nourishment you need in the present moment.

Welcome: I will greet you, allowing time to settle in the space together. Please leave your phone on do not disturb, and preferably away from the space during the session.

Grounding: I will guide you through a short grounding practice to soothe your nervous system and land in your body.

Intention setting: we will then discuss what your aim for the exploration is, coming to a shared intention for your support.

Exploration: we will then move onto the main part of the session where we will use cards to deepen into our exploration. 

Integration: by this point we will most likely have found a natural point of conclusion, clarity or resolution in the session. Here we will allow the messages to integrate with some gentle energy work, which will guide you out of your internal world. 

Moving beyond: you now must put what has been spoken on into action - this work extends beyond the session and out into your life. It is not enough to know what you now know, but you have to practice it, in order for it to take effect. The idea is to find this within ourselves - we are guided, we are taught, then we must take what we have learnt and practice until we need more guidence, and the cycle begins again. 

Please check over the terms and conditions for one:one sessions here.

I curretly offer up to four spaces per month, on the first Friday of the month.

Booking is on a first come, first served basis.

Who are inner work sessions for?

I welcome interest from anyone who is called to this work, and resonate with me as their guide. We cannot force ourselves onto the path of healing, it is an active choice - if there is a sense building within you to explore, then trust it. Each tarot reader has a different energy and quality to their work, so just trust who you're guided to, and do not force anything. I will approach each person on an individual basis, and therefore if I genuinely do not believe myself to be the right guide for you in any way, I will politely decline, as that would be the most nourishing thing to do - and that "no" may even be the medicine needed.

Do I need to have a question? 

Not at all. If you feel called to work with me, just listen to that, because it is likely that I hold a message for you, or I'll act as a mirror to something important which ou are needing to look at within yourself/your life. We will be able to tease out what is underlying your need to be supported at this time together. Sometimes you may arrive with a question, yet that will lead us onto a path to something much deeper that is seemingly unrelated! Flow with it.

Can I do a shorter session?

I offer 90 minute sessions because I have found that this feels the right amount of time to do the depth of work we would be undertaking together. We are able to ease into the shadow, explore, find resolution and come back out on the other side, ending at a natural point. I wish for you to be leaving your session feeling lifted, with a sense of comfort and clarity, and this requires time - it is important.

However, if paying for a 90 minute session is not in reach right now, I can offer 45 minute sessions priced at 60 GBP. This is a the shortest session I offer, because this work is more than entertainment purposes, and deserves spaciousness.

Are online sessions any good?

I hold a soft spot to working in person - one day! - however yes, they are just as good! The conversation and energy work are able to reach you just the same in your own home! I would strongly encourage you to set the space nicely for your own comfort, and make sure you will not be disturbed.

This is a time for you to disconnect from the outside world, and reconnect with yourself in a nourishing way - treat it like you would a therapy session, don't sit in a cafe for instance, and ensure you don't have people walking around you at home etc. 

I am working towards having my own physical space in order to welcome people for in person sessions - exciting!

Who are you speaking to with the cards?

When chaneling with cards, we have to ability to connect with the energy or spirit of anything or anyone. For the purpose of these sessions, we will most likely be working directly with the deeper parts of your own psyche - your inner child, shadow aspects or higher self for example - or we could be working with your spirit guides, ancestors, and those that walk alongside you with the aim of supporting you. I hold strict ethical principles for who can be connected with during sessions, to uphold the personal privacy of those on this earthy plane (basically, I won’t be prying to check if your crush likes you back...).

Is tarot safe?

Yes, tarot is safe. As a practitioner I always intend to create a safe, energetically held space to conduct the readings within, ensuring all objects and myself are cleansed both before and after the session. The cards can't hurt you, and there is no card you need to fear in the deck - including the devil, death and the tower! My sessions are held to be comforting, clarifying and empowering for you on your journey! 

Can tarot tell the future?

Yes, and no. Regardless, that’s not what my sessions are about. We can seek guidence on the pathway ahead, and we can test the waters to see what a potential outcome could look like for you, but the future is not fixed; there is an infinite number of outcomes and futures ahead of you, and what comes to light depends on each and every decision you make. So yes, we could ask for your future to be told, but it would be the future in that precise moment - then it would be gone. We must seek to maintain a healthy balance between understanding the past, and dreaming up our future, whilst remaining grounded in action here in the present moment - because the present moment is truly the only thing that exists.
