The Ancient Wisdom Of Tarot, Ceremony, & Energy Healing Combined With Neuroscience & Psychotherapy

I'm a licensed psychotherapist, teacher, healer and tarot expert with decades of experience

Like Magic, Tarot Helps You Tap Your Inner Wisdom

When we come together for a reading, we create sacred space. Opening to Universal Intelligence and grounding in the earth, we next invite the spark of the Divine that is within you, opening up through energy work and guided imagery. 

Our intention thus set, the tarot can speak to both of us on a very deep level. Let the images and archetypes call forth your inner wisdom. The unconscious mind always has more answers than we are currently seeing.

Breakthrough Stuck Patterns, Navigate The Path Through Grief And Loss, Or Find A Touchstone During Transitions

I believe the broken heart, cracked open wide, is ready to receive. This makes it an excellent time to explore your heart's true values and messages from your soul. Tarot can help you understand and perhaps give new meaning to a life-changing loss. 

Maybe you are feeling stuck and need a breakthrough. Uncertain of your path? Not hearing your intuition clearly?  A tarot session can move blocked energy, uncover hidden strengths and give spiritual guidance. As a seasoned therapist and reader, I'm ready to help. 

Come For Celebration, Self-Care, Encouragement And Powerful Affirmation Of Your Journey

Do you feel your energies running higher in the weeks around your birthday? It's a powerful time for a reading. Holidays and anniversaries, too. Reflecting on your growth in the past year and the strengths to carry forward is an excellent way to celebrate yourself

Tarot can be a boost anytime you want a spiritual check-up, a clear message that your are well on your path. My uplifting readings will offer you enthusiasm and encouragement.

When We Meld The Wisdom Of The Tarot With Energy Healing, Science And Psychotherapy … Magic.

Hi. I’m Amy Elspeth, a lifelong lover of art, nature, stories and the pondering of the life's deep questions. I got my first Tarot deck at age 12. It would be cool to tell you that I had a witchy Grandmother to teach me the cards, but it was just on a whim that my mother popped them into my Christmas stocking that year. Just a token gift, but it was magic to me and in those cards everything I loved – art, nature, stories, deep questions! I spent hours in front of our fireplace, playing with the cards and making up stories about the pictures. Years later, my formal training taught me that this is the magic of the Tarot – it helps us understand the stories of our life.


I have made reading tarot, along with teaching classes in earth-based spirituality my work for over 25 years. I also bring a lifetime of dedication to academic excellence and knowledge in a wide variety of subjects from esoteric to earthy with extensive training in herbalism, psychic development, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), neuroscience and energy healing. I later attended graduate school and I have been a licensed psychotherapist since 2009. Bringing these fields together creates great synergy and I weave these teachings into all my offerings.
