I first delved into tarot during the late '80s. However, I feel what helps me to be most successful with tarot is my whole life experience. I have been on a healing path since at least my 20's when I first entered therapy due to childhood trauma. I was in therapy for 20+ years learning much and changing a lot along the way. In addition to therapy, I embarked on a learning journey through formal education. I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology at Alverno College and later a degree in natural health from a distance learning school. In addition, I attended many workshops related to trauma. Along the way, I enrolled in programs at the school of spiritual psychology in Milwaukee. For a couple of years, I studied core shamanism according to Michael Harner going on numerous retreats and workshops. I studied basic in astrology and numerology. I studied the Akashic records and Soul Realignment ™ from Andrea Hess. The books I have read through the years in these areas are extensive. In essence, I have spent my life being a seeker. And now in my 7th decade of life, all I learned and went through is coalescing into a heightened intuition that I am honored to be able to put to use for others' healing journeys.
