Pleased to meet you.
I’m Melissa. An intuitive. A mom. A multi-disciplinary artist. My husband likes to say that I “wear a lot of hats.” But I think of my roles as strands in a single web that I’m suspending in good faith, like Whitman’s Noiseless Patient Spider, feeling the tremor of Spirit against the threads as the universe spins and expands through space.
As an academic, I was trained to observe art with a critical eye, to engage in “close reading” with the assumption that every stroke of the pen or paint brush held significance.
Tarot highjacked those habits and offered something more than critical analysis and historical allusion.
Rich with overlapping—sometimes contradictory—symbolism, Tarot cards introduced me to my own intuitive sense of Truth. They taught me to build my capacity for mystical receptivity and open to soul-centered messages of support and spiritual guidance.
The messages came from within me, but also seemed to come from without, as gifts from guides I couldn’t see but could feel. I have come to believe that each of us has the capacity to tap into this spiritual knowing. Working with me as a reader is a practice in learning to trust that intuition for yourself.
My style of reading is different from that of most intuitives.
I’m not interested in simply relaying a story about what the cards mean for you.
I want the cards to help you unlock the language of your story for yourself.
My Tarot readings offer an opportunity to sense into the weave and weft of a web that’s bigger than what either of us could create on our own.
The session invites us both to experience our souls’ belonging within the wider scope of history, of life, and of the universe itself expanding on her course.
Signs that I might be a good reader for you:
You are open to the idea of receiving messages from Spirit, but you don’t want anyone telling you what to do—or what’s going to happen.
You want to bring more joy, pleasure and a sense of wonder into your life or creative practice.
You already have (or want to develop) your own intuitive gifts/practices.
You are a parent who wants to re-center the spiritual process of parenthood. (The mundanity of our to-dos as parents can make this a challenge).
You are experiencing a major internal shift and need help integrating your insight into practical, earthly action.
Or the opposite—external upheavals require a spiritual reframe of your purpose and goals at this time.
