My readings are bespoke - delivered to your inbox, private, personal and intuitively conducted after you make your booking.

While I have offered face-to-face readings in the past, I currently do not offer this type of reading.

You can find out more about the benefits of a bespoke tarot reading and why this is my approach at the top of this page.

I utilise the tarot as a tool of deep self-reflection. By understanding where you are in the present moment, how you got here and the potential that lies ahead of you, I strive to give you a sense of empowerment, so that you can actually take charge of your life and make the changes you want to make. I am incredibly passionate about the fact that the tarot is not just some cool party trick, like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat. The magic of the tarot should be what gives its wisdom more weight and significance.

The thing is, predictive readings can feel really good in the moment, but then, what do you do with it? Perhaps in a couple of years, the tarot reader’s words will unearth themselves from the corner of your brain and you’ll assess whether any of their predictions came to pass. Maybe you wondered if you’d ever find a long-term partner to settle down with. And the reader predicted, yes, you will! Hooray! But when you wake up tomorrow, you still don’t have that partner you dream of. So, what do you do… just… wait?

In my view, this entirely robs you of your own sense of agency, your autonomy, and your personal power. Let’s use the above example. If you wanted to find a long-term partner to settle down with, we’d unpack it. Why have prior relationships not worked out? What might be stopping you from finding what you want?

Perhaps you’re falling for the wrong people, or you’ve subconsciously put a wall up, for fear of being hurt like you have been in the past. Maybe you don’t know what you actually want from a long-term partner, and until you understand that, it’s hard to work on meeting the right person, or you’ve spent all your time focused on your career, so there’s been no time to meet anyone outside of your office.

As you can see in this little example, my style of reading isn’t about giving you platitudes. It’s about giving you thought-provoking insight that you can use. The tarot reading itself isn’t going to change your life. You are going to change your life. Tarot reading is a tool that can help you along the way.

Please know that I take great care with each and every one of my readings. This work is incredibly important to me, and I take my responsibility as a tarot reader very seriously. I aim to handle every reading with sensitivity, compassion and zero judgement. I want you to feel seen, validated and understood. The stuff we cover in your reading may not be all sweetness and light, but I want you to walk away from your reading feeling hopeful, motivated and empowered.

If you do choose to book a reading with me, I consider it an honour to hold this space for you.

I so love this work, and I am grateful to all of you who book readings with me, and allow me to continue to do this for a living.

• Once you have selected your reading and format of choice, you will be taken to a booking form, where you are welcome to include information, such as a question or topic, for context. (Read more about this under “How much information do I need to give you, when I book my reading?” and “Do I need to have a question when booking a reading?”)

• After booking your reading, you will receive a confirmation email for your purchase. Be sure to check your junk mail, just in case it’s gone there. If you do not receive this email, please get in touch as soon as possible, as the email address provided at checkout will be the one your reading is sent to, and so if I have the wrong email, I will be unable to send you your reading.

• My Process
  I will then go ahead and complete your reading. I complete this in my personal workspace. Before readings, I energetically cleanse and protect the space, and spend time ‘tuning in’ to my intuition through my own practices, also tuning into your energy. I’m inviting in the guidance you need, from sources of love, light and the highest vibrations. During this process, I intuitively select a crystal from my personal selection, to work with its energies during the reading. I then also select at least one tart deck to work with for your reading (but this is most frequently two decks - one being a tarot deck, the other an oracle deck). I will then go ahead and complete your reading. If you have requested an audio or video reading, this will be a live recording from this point onwards. For a written PDF reading, I will pull your cards, before then typing up the messages of your reading in a thorough, comprehensive document. I take a photo of the full spread of cards laid out, which will be supplied as part of your reading.

• This will be completed within 7 days, and sent to you via email. The email will include a link to your personal, private, password protected webpage, hosted on queenofarcana.com, where you can access, save or download your reading (or save the video link to your video recording). 

• You are free to enjoy your reading at your convenience. The beauty of this type of reading is that you can revisit it as many times as you like! Based on my experience with clients, I recommend reading, listening or watching to your reading at least twice, to ensure you get the most out of your reading, enabling you to ‘mop up’ any guidance you missed the first time around.

• Another benefit of a bespoke tarot reading is that you can go at your pace. Sit with it, take your time, and when you’re ready, you are welcome to drop me an email or an Instagram DM. Raise any questions or use me as a sounding board for your thoughts. Sometimes, the reading said everything it needed to say, and that’s great. Other times, the dialogue at the end can just add that last little missing piece to the puzzle. Either way, my online readings are still full of that human connection we all need.

Absolutely, you can! In fact, I encourage it! Included in the price of your reading is a follow-up discussion via email or Instagram DM (if voice notes are more your thing). Sometimes people have questions, other times I act as more of a sounding board, so that you can unpack what resonated about the reading and how. It’s as if we’ve just sat face-to-face and I’ve asked you have any questions before we end our time together - only it’s done at your pace. There’s no walking away thinking, “Oh, I wish I asked what that meant.” Come back to me when you’re ready.

Spiritually, this is a biiiig question, and to be honest with you, I would be suspicious of anyone who says that they know exactly how the tarot works. There is an inherent mysticism to the tarot, and that’s part of what makes it so special. Tarot defies logical reasoning in so many ways, and that’s what makes it all the more mind-blowing. It took many, many readings before I stopped hesitating before I sent them, before I stopped wondering how I could tell such a detailed story about someone I had never met, and knew nothing about. Time and time again, these readings resonated, and with every reading, my faith in the tarot grew and grew. I have always been a naturally skeptical person. I am not inclined towards blind faith. But for me, the proof is in the pudding. It’s simply impossible for me to have done as many readings as I have done, and it just be sheer luck that they all happened to make sense to my clients, my family, my friends, and to myself. The cards just aren’t wrong. There will of course be times when my personal interpretation might not be 100% accurate, where I may have left something on the table (I am human after all), but the cards just aren’t wrong. But don’t just take my word for it - book a reading and experience the magic for yourself.

Taking this more literally, the tarot is a card deck of 78 cards. It is a complete system, which encapsulates the entirety of our human experience in archetypal images, symbols and concepts, touching on our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical worlds. When we shuffle and pull cards from this deck, laying them out in front of us, we can use these images, symbols and concepts to tell stories. Due to the comprehensive nature of the deck, these stories can reflect our real-life experiences back to us.

Some of these cards have a bad reputation, mostly because the media portrayal of the tarot tends to revolve around a spooky fortune teller ominously revealing the Death card in the middle of the night and whispering, “Death fills your fuuuuuuuutuuuuuure.” A surefire sign that the writers have not done their research on the tarot in the slightest. Our human experience is full of good and bad moments, and so it stands to reason that the 78 cards must also reflect that good and bad, in order to provide us with a real reflection of our actual lives. But that means that all of the cards are both good and bad. Yes, even Death can be a positive sight.

When we ‘tell the story’ of the cards, we are reading tarot cards. But the real magic comes when we understand the cards on a deep level. Each of the cards isn’t just a descriptor, it’s also a teacher. Contained within each of the cards is its own lesson, its own unique wisdom. When we tap into that wisdom, we can utilise the tarot to quite literally change our lives for the better. We can identify our stuck places, highlight unhealthy patterns and areas for improvement. We can learn and grow.

This is the way I utilise the tarot in my readings. How can we tell the story of where you are right now, and how you got there, to help you move forward in the direction you really want to go in? Read more about my style of tarot reading under, “What is your style of tarot reading?”

My goal as a tarot reader is to keep you present and empowered. For this reason, my readings are not predictive in nature. My tarot readings will explore the potential of the future, based on where you are right now, depending on what action you take, moving forward. For example, a happy relationship with the possibility to last long-term, will wither if we don’t make any effort to stay connected. Likewise, a career that has no potential for fulfilment, can be replaced with something inherently fulfilling, if we can take the steps to understand what we truly desire, and make that our reality.

You always have the free will to influence your future, both positively and negatively, depending on the actions you choose to take (or not to take). In my readings, the future is a necessary element to explore, so that we can understand what we truly want, and work towards that in the present.

Nothing is set in stone. You are not doomed for failure or destined for success. Success is available to all of us. The question is, how far from that success are you right now, and what can you do to get yourself closer to it?

Like all good readers, I have ethical boundaries, in terms of what topics I am willing to read on. I kindly ask that you respect these boundaries when making a reading request. If you are unsure whether your reading falls into one of the below categories, feel free to drop me an email, or DM me on Instagram.

• I do not read on questions of a legal, medical or financial nature.

  Please direct these questions to a professional in these respective fields. I am not qualified to dispense legal, medical or financial advice.

• I do not conduct ‘spying’ readings.

  i.e. I will not read for you, the querent, about a third party (e.g. spouse, friend, family member), when the reading request involves a topic that is not directly related to you.
  
  For example:

  I will not read on: ‘Is my ex seeing anyone new?’

  But I will read on: ‘What potential is there for a reunion with my ex and how might I approach doing so?’

  I will not read on: ‘Is my daughter dating someone and hasn’t told me about it yet?’

  But I will read on: ‘I feel that my daughter doesn’t share things with me. What can I do to make her feel more comfortable opening up?’

• I do not predict timing of events.

  In my experience of both reading tarot and receiving readings myself, I have found that timing predictions are rarely accurate. I believe that we all have Free Will and therefore, our actions determine how quickly/slowly something might manifest, if at all. Not to mention, the Free Will of others can also affect the timing of events. Furthermore, as a reader, I focus on what you can do in the present moment to help you create the future you want, and so providing a time of when something ‘will’ happen, in my opinion, can actually be counter-productive, because it implies we must wait for a time in the future in order to be happy. For this reason, I do not find it helpful to provide timing predictions.

• I will not make predictions that would take away a querent’s sense of control and autonomy, such as around the topics of death and pregnancy.

  I do not work with the tarot cards in a predictive manner in general. I prefer to use the tarot as a tool to guide people and empower them in the present moment. As such, any ‘predictions’ made in a reading are an exploration of potential outcomes, and we have the free will to change those outcomes. For this reason, I do not do readings around the topics of death or pregnancy, in particular, where the querent requests a prediction of when or how such events might occur.

If your reading request violates these boundaries, I reserve the right to cancel and refund your reading request. Please note that refunds are subject to the refund processing timeframe of my payment processor, and so, by nature, will not be immediate.

All readings are delivered in ONE of the following formats:

• Written PDF - a thoughtful, detailed, typed document with images of the cards

• Audio recording - a playable, downloadable MP4 file of me doing the reading and explaining the cards in detail, plus an image of the cards

• Recorded video - an unlisted YouTube video of me conducting the reading and explaining the cards in detail

You can read more about the benefits of each, at the top of this page.

In short, no!

You do not need to ask me a question, in order to book a reading with me - in fact, over half of my clients opt leave that section blank on the booking form. There are a couple of reasons why someone might choose to do that, and you can read more about that under the question “How much information do I need to give you, when I book my reading?”

But what if you have no question in mind at all, can you still book a reading? Yes!

If you do not ask a question on your booking form, I pull your cards with the general intention of what you need to know right now, and I am led intuitively from there. I create a space of love, positivity and light, and am always reading from the perspective of the highest good, for you and others. First and foremost, I want to help you not just grow, but flourish and thrive.

Sometimes, not having a question can make for the most interesting, insightful and revealing readings. In my opinion, there is always room for improvement, and in moments where we have no acute issues that need our attention, we can dig down into things that are more ingrained and unconscious - the things that are less obvious in our day-to-day life, but can make profound impacts.

You are welcome to give me as much, or as little, information as you feel comfortable doing. Please know that any information you choose to share with me is treated with the utmost respect, care and sensitivity. Sharing information with me is not necessary, but doing so will affect the way your reading is delivered. We can approach this in a few ways:

• Ask a specific question. If you have a specific question and you are comfortable sharing it, doing so will enable me to tailor the reading to best meet your goals. For example, the tarot spread I choose to use (the layout of the cards), will be customised to extract specific insights, targeted towards your question.

• Pick a topic for us to explore. Perhaps you’d like a reading that focuses on your love life. Maybe you’re at a crossroads in your career. It could be family drama that’s going on for you right now. Or maybe your focus is on yourself, and so you really want a reading that focuses on your personal development. You don’t need to have a question, for us to explore a specific area of your life.

• Put it all down. Sometimes a situation is so complicated, that you don’t even know where to start. Don’t worry, I got you. If you are comfortable sharing, you are welcome to explain in the circumstances that have led you to seeking a tarot reading, in as much or as little detail as you would like. Using this information, I can personalise your reading to best meet your needs. In some circumstances, it is easier for me to unravel the underlying question, being a neutral third party who… you know… might have done this once or twice before.

• Leave it open. Sometimes there isn’t a burning question, or a problem area that you would like to focus your reading on, and that’s fine! You can read more about this under the question, “Do I need to have a question when booking a reading?” (Above)

• Give me nothing. It’s okay, I get it. Perhaps you’re skeptical, or it’s your first reading with me and you want to ‘test’ me out. Perhaps you’ve been ‘burned’ in the past, by other so-called spiritual practitioners. It could be that the situation is just too difficult to talk about, or maybe you’re just not comfortable sharing with me, and that’s totally okay. Honestly, some of my most powerful, emotional and insightful readings have come without a question.

While I am happy to work with however much information you are comfortable to share, it is important for me to note here that what you do share will affect the explicit specificity of the reading you receive. I am an intuitive tarot reader, so what I’m picking up on in your reading is energy, based on the cards in front of me, and my own intuition. I am not a psychic or a medium, who is going to spontaneously pluck the name of your brother out of thin air, or can describe your deceased grandparent in minute detail. So, if you want me to be able to ‘connect the dots’ of the reading back to specific elements of your life, it can be helpful to have a degree of context, which comes from what you choose to share with me at the beginning.

This is not to say that context is a requirement for a specific reading, rather, it is the type of specificity that is different. When I am doing a reading based on no question, topic or information, the specificity can be found in the descriptive elements - the story that is being told, the emotions you have felt, or are feeling. For example, I might be able to describe the relationship you have with your brother in specific detail, but without the context, I may not be able to specifically identify that I am talking about your brother John.  While I may not be able to connect those dots, you can. Typically, it is very, very clear to you, as the client, what or who I am talking about.

On the rare occasion you’re unsure what exactly I’m referring to, don’t forget that I welcome discussion after your reading! If you think there is a message about your career, but you’re not 100% sure, let’s unpack it! I want all of my clients to leave a reading feeling 100% clear on what the message of their reading is, so I’m always happy to clarify any uncertainty.

So, how much information do you give me? It really depends on what sort of reading you hope to receive.

Let’s be clear - any question can be answered, or topic explored, with any type of reading you choose to book. The key differences here are depth, detail and clarity. If you’re unsure what type of reading to book, the questions I would ask you to consider are:

• How important is this topic/question to me (if you have one)?

• How many aspects of my life do I want to cover with this reading? If you feel like there is so much you don’t even know where to begin, let me introduce you to The Queen.

• What are you seeking to achieve with this reading? For a little reassurance, motivation or inspiration, take a look at The Page. For a detailed exploration, consider The Knight. For a full deep dive, especially into multiple areas of life, or situations that affect your life on a grander scale, The Queen was designed for you.

Please be sure to also consider affordability. As previously stated, we can tackle any question, whatever reading you choose to book. A complex question, that would be most suited to The Queen, can still be tackled with The Page, we just won’t be able to do so as completely, or with as much detail.

If you’re still unsure what type of reading is right for you, please drop me an email or a DM, and I can help you come to a decision.

Seasonal Readings & Limited Offerings

These readings are designed with specific intentions in mind, often linked to the seasonal energies at the time. If you have a very specific intention for your reading and what you would like to get out of it, you may find my standard reading offerings a better fit, as each reading is designed to meet your requirements, based on my own intuition, as well as any context you choose to provide on your booking form. Find out more about this under, “How much information do I need to give you, when booking my reading?” as well as “Do I need to have a question when booking my reading?”

This is something I hear a lot. Let me start by saying, tarot is not something to be feared. However, I can understand people feeling this way, when their only reference point for the tarot is the media’s portrayal of tarot, wielded by some spooky mystic holding up cards as a harbinger of bad things to come. cue eye roll from me

Generally, people are scared of getting a tarot reading because they don’t want to hear something bad is going to happen. And this is probably the greatest misconception of the tarot of all. A tarot reading should not leave you feeling worse than you did before the reading. Yes, the tarot cards include difficult topics such as loss and heartbreak, conflict and destruction, but if these cards are appearing in your reading, these aren’t coming as a shock to you. It’s important for us to acknowledge these things in a reading, to show where you have been, the pain you have experienced, and validate that. We’ve all experienced some sort of pain. And to erase that from the tarot would do a disservice to us all.

However, nothing we see in a tarot reading is a declaration, a sealing of your fate. Nothing is set in stone. And with the style of reading I offer, my aim is to make that as clear as possible. My readings are not predictive in nature. I aim to uplift, inspire and empower you.

A reading should leave you feeling more positive about where you are headed. If you ever receive a tarot reading from someone and it leaves you feeling scared, upset, disempowered or deflated, the issue lies with the reader, not with the tarot itself (the same goes for any other type of spiritual reading, for that matter).

If you are still scared about getting a tarot reading, you can drop me an email, or an Instagram DM. I’m happy to chat through your concerns.

From tarot parties, retreats, event days, and in-store guest reading, I’ve been involved with a variety of live events as a tarot reader. If you are interested in having me at your next gathering, please drop me an email containing:

• A brief explanation of your event

• The date of the event

• How many people would be in attendance (rough numbers are fine if you don’t have exact)

• How you envisage tarot reading being a part of your event (if you have an idea of this)

Please allow 48 hours for me to get back to you with further info - I look forward to working with you!
