About Me

I began playing with Tarot cards as a little girl, but laid them aside for many years until I was involved in a serious car accident in 2012. At that time, I had what I would call a near-death experience and I picked up the cards again soon after. They quickly became my source of peace and the way that I communicate with The Divine. I began reading for only myself, but soon friends and family were asking for readings also. I found that the messages from the cards brought others peace as well. The positive feedback and affirmations from my loved ones gave me the confidence to try reading at mystical fairs and festivals. I was surprised and delighted to find that the cards were even more accurate when I was working with those that I didn’t know at all. I decided to dedicate myself to this work and opened the Cat's Meow, Tarot and Talismans, LLC in 2015. I feel that I have been given the gift of the ability to channel information and messages from the spiritual realm through the use of the Tarot cards. I feel that these messages come from The Divine; be that God, Goddess, Angels, Guides, or whatever your concept of the Creator may be. I know that the messages which I receive are always meant as loving guidance and advice, and always only for the highest good of the person that I am reading. These experiences leave me with my own sense of peace and healing, as I believe that this is exactly what I have been called to do for my own highest good as well. I do also sometimes receive messages from those who have crossed over, but I am typically not aware of this until the person that I am reading makes the connection. I just share the information that the cards are giving and the message speaks for itself. I am always amazed at how the cards seem to lay out in a way that is exactly right for each individual person. I tend to view myself as more of an interpreter than a psychic, but whatever the case, I love what I do. I have spent several years now heavily researching the meanings of the Tarot cards and developing my skills. I have taken correspondence courses through The American Tarot Association and continually work to increase my knowledge and expertise. We are all lifelong learners, after all. I support and follow The American Tarot Association's statement on Ethical Tarot, which can be found at the following link.

Jewelry and Talisman Design

My interest in Talismans also began when I was a child. I loved to find and collect “special” objects from nature or thrift stores. I would carry them with me, feeling that they provided protection. They gave me a sense of strength and calm. I continue to feel that objects carry a certain vibration and can provide us with various benefits. After my car accident, I took several Religious Exploration classes. Through one of these courses, I was shown by a High Priestess how to cleanse, bless and consecrate sacred objects. I also learned how to use specific herbs and oils during this process in order to increase their energy and effectiveness. I realized that through this process I could use my own energy field, power and intention to awaken and infuse these objects with love and purpose. I now regularly integrate spirit into matter as part of my healing and spiritual practice. One of the other things that I enjoy doing is making jewelry, charms and other small art pieces. As I have worked on these projects, I have come to realize that if I focus my intentions on providing each piece with a certain healing task while I am creating it, it seems to contain even more of that special energy. I believe that material objects hold their own light and energy. When they are cleansed, blessed, consecrated and dedicated for a certain purpose, they become Talismans. They can be charged to protect, heal, help and assist people in numerous ways.

The Combination of the Reading and the Talisman

Eventually, I started to sense that the people I was reading during Tarot sessions might greatly benefit from having or carrying these type of Talismans. Because of this, at the end of a reading (if the patron chooses) I have started asking the Divine for a message about what the best healing object might be for that person. I then research the elements and materials that might best help with the issue or problem that the person may have, and I utilize them in the making or blessing of the object. Sometimes I also feel that a certain Divine Helper, Guide, Animal Totem, Angel or Deity has a specific loving message, energy or lesson for that person. If so, then I may dedicate the Talisman in honor of that Divinity and ask for their blessings, intervention and assistance for the wearer or owner.
If you choose, as part of my services after a reading, I can create a Talisman for you based on the information that I receive. I consult with you about which sort of item fits your budget and what you feel you would like to try, as in jewelry, a car-key chain, a small hanging piece or so on. Then I choose the best materials such as crystals, stones, symbols or charms for your specific issue and create an individual Talisman just for you. I will cleanse, bless and consecrate the item based on your precise need. Additionally, when each piece is done, I include an informational piece explaining the object and what it is made of, intended for and blessed with. If it is dedicated to a specific Deity, then I will include information about this Divine Helper and how they may be able to assist you as well. I take a picture of the completed Talisman and send it to you in advance, so that you can decide if it resonates with you and if it is something that you would like to purchase. If so, then I can ship it out, and if not I will just keep it for someone else that I feel might benefit from its energy and healing. There is no obligation to buy it ahead of time.

Spiritual and Empathic Reiki Healing

In October of 2015, I was certified as a First and Second Degree Usui Reiki System Practitioner. I moved on to receive my Third Degree in July of 2017. This means that I have received the attunement and knowledge of the Usui Reiki system from a trained Reiki Master Teacher, and that I have demonstrated proficiency in the use of this natural healing technique. A Reiki session is a very relaxing and peaceful experience where healing is administered through the transmission of spiritually guided, life force energy. I decided to pursue Reiki training because I so enjoy the ability to channel Divine messages from my guides through the use of Tarot cards. It occurred to me that Reiki is another form of channeling Divine energy and that it might be another way in which I could help people with their spiritual and physical healing. I am truly glad to be able to add this new ability to the services that I am able to offer. Reiki sessions may be scheduled separately from a Tarot session, but I prefer and recommend having them done together. This allows me to better attune to your energy and understand what spiritual and physical issues may need to be addressed before your Reiki healing session actually begins. I feel that this is a more complete, effective and meaningful experience. If you would like to learn more about this technique, please follow this informative link.
