About me
When I burnt out of a non-profit career in trying to make the world safer for wildlife and farmers in India, I was exhausted. My disillusioned self found solace in a strange place, a tarot deck. I came to tarot wanting to find magic and hope and some assurance that everything didn’t actually completely suck. What I ended up finding is a great tool to know my own mind and art that reconnected me with the natural world.
As my practice deepened I saw tarot really help me and my clients get in touch with the quieter questions underneath the loud ones. What surprised me was how much psychological honesty the cards actually hold. The tarot has been an incredibly empowering tool for me and I design my readings to bring that same empowerment to my clients.
What informs my practice
Field experience as an ecologist
I have an M.Sc. in Biodiversity Conservation and Management (2017) for the University of Oxford, UK. The time I spent doing fieldwork in remote mountains and forests of India was my first spiritual experience of connection to nature. My depth of ecological knowledge translates into my practice as guided meditations, grounding exercises, and metaphors for reflection. The art in the tarot decks I use is also very nature based and lends itself beautifully to these ecotherapy tools.
Training as a counsellor
I am certified as a Mental Health Counsellor (2024) to work with adults as well as children and teens by the Prerana Academy, Bengaluru. In my training and experience as a counsellor, I learnt how to listen with compassion and hold space for someone else’s feelings, struggles, beliefs and experience. I use these skills in my readings, as a complement to the cards, to create a judgement-free safe space for my clients.
Reading tarot for myself and others
I started reading tarot in 2019 and have been reading for others since 2022. There’s no shortage of tarot readers online but what sets my readings apart is my approach. I see the outcomes in my readings as indicators of where a person’s current trajectory is likely to be headed, instead of as their predicted fortune. I use the tarot to find insights into my clients’ inner world so that they can move in the direction they truly want to.
