I help great visionaries, artists, entrepreneurs and healers go higher.
When you work with me, great becomes amazing.
I’m very selective about the clients I let into my world – so if we work together, expect wonderful potentials to emerge.
I see you, dreamer.
I hear your hopes.
I feel your losses.
Most of all, I believe in you.
Your secrets are safe with me. I am the Lynx, after all.
Let my clients tell you about their sessions.

THE LONGER VERSION
I never wanted to be psychic.
I grew up believing that anything “witchy” was evil. Like most things I feared, I didn’t understand it. People involved in this work were The Other, enemies of Christianity who needed to “get saved” or keep on their fast track to hell.
God/dess certainly has a sense of humor.
I’ve always been sensitive. The favorite word adults liked to use around me was “moody”. Of course, this was long before I understood the meaning of empath and subconsciously believed that if I soaked up the emotions of others, I’d heal them.
No wonder I had serious headaches for 20 years.
Would you believe me if I told you that a nun introduced me to Tarot? It’s true. I took those cards from her hands, wanting relief from the wreck of my life.
The cards didn’t answer me. I simply returned them. Yet in that moment, something was planted. It was just waiting to unfold.
I continued the elusive search for a “real” job that would support me financially, spiritually and emotionally. In my early 30s, one of my oldest friends casually said, “You’re a healer. You’re going to read cards someday.” She was clearly crazy. What in the hell was a healer? Did that mean that people would leap from wheelchairs when I touched them? It was a nice ego boost before I dismissed it altogether.
But Tarot kept seeking me out — on cafe tables, bookstores and friends literally handing me decks. When I moved to Vermont after a decade in NYC, people ‘mysteriously’ wandered into my life to teach what I needed to know. Or they’d simply say, “Good job. Keep going.”
My friend Karen introduced me to the The Faeries’ Oracle deck. She approached the tattered cards like they were old friends and we’d get together and “throw”. I purchased The Goddess Tarot. Over and over, I’d consult the tiny book. One card, then three. Eventually, I moved on to the 10 card Celtic cross spread, the foundation of all my Tarot spreads.
As I slowly opened up my heart, the work found me. One afternoon, my friend called. A woman at her cafe wanted a reading. I hesitated, then heard an inner voice say, this day is going to change your life. I was nervous and insecure; my armpits soaking wet. The well-dressed woman was gracious as I stumbled my way through her cards.
At the end, she looked me straight in the eye and said, “My dear, you have a gift.”
And so I began.
“Work” is a misnomer. I love being a healer. I’ve guided thousands of clients — teachers, doctors, celebrities, lawyers, CEOs, shamans, psychics, moms, students and millionaires — to their own inner healer.
As I walk this path, I will always see Tarot as my friend who helped open the door to a world that was simply waiting for me to explore it. No judgment, no shame. Just, here is your gift and away we go.
