So much of the work I do is getting to deeply know the person I am working with, as they get to intimately know themselves.

There are many ways into this, but here are the primary intuitive practices I rely on:

Meditation

I frequently use a brief guided meditation to begin sessions so that we can arrive in the moment and space we are in, and really open up and tap into the highest, best knowing we have within ourselves to get the most honest and true answers. 

I have been a daily meditator since 2009 and I am a deep believer in its transformational powers. This simple act repeated daily started to help me make sense of the world around me, and profoundly affected all of my creative output.

Like a lot of “inner work” meditation is a practice that strengthens over time. It’s not a quick fix (though sometimes it can really help in a stressful situation!) but it can be a life long process of going inward and getting to truly know ones self. 

In a session this might look like:

• Arrival - to get present and let go of all the “to-do’s” we have done already and yet to do

• Grounding - to help us get out of our heads and into our bodies and connect with the earth

• Heart opening - to get the truest answers

• Energetic - to raise the energy of the session

It is a resource and tool that when strengthened and practiced regularly, is something you can call on in times of challenges or change. The more I practice the more I realize how deeply both creativity and spirituality/magic/inner work (whatever you feel comfortable calling it!) are deeply intertwined 

In a noisy world, strengthening the muscle of quiet reflection and learning to raise the antennae of intuition. This helps you separate the “signal from the noise” so that you can hear the quiet voice in you that is leading you to your highest self, your deepest knowing for the answers you are seeking.

I have completed multiple meditation courses, experienced silent retreats, and have practiced several styles of meditation including Mindfulness, Vipasana, Journeying, and since 2025 I have been practicing Transcendental Meditation.

Tarot

“Pictures are like doors that open into unexpected chambers.” – Arthur Edward Waite

My personal approach to tarot is to focus more on it as a reflective/intuitive tool as opposed to predictive, which helps focus on personal growth and mind/body/spirit themes.

When I feel a situation, challenge or specific question calls for it, I will sometimes ask the person I am working with “would you like to pull a card around that?”  I also offer “Tarot for Creatives” – these are 30 minute readings for those who identify as creatives who are looking for a deep dive on a specific topic or change that is happening in their lives.

Tarot is a transformative tool for connecting with your intuition and unconscious mind through visual imagery and archetypal symbols. It can offer a fresh perspective or connect with thoughts/feelings you may not realize you were having.

Some examples of questions or exercises we might do in a session might be: 

• What career transition or change would be advised for me at this stage in my life/career?

• What Tarot card most embodies me or my business?

• What is my soul’s purpose, and how can I integrate it with my daily work?

• What hidden talents can I leverage for a fulfilling career?

• What shadow qualities within myself might be holding me back? 

• What is the most important thing for me to focus on right now in my business or career? 

• What is my biggest fear related to my career, and how can I overcome it? 

I have been pulling and reading cards for a decade and in 2021 received my Advanced Tarot Reading Certification. I pull cards daily for myself and at the most important crossroads in my life (I almost always have a deck in my bag!) and have come to love and value it as one of the most sacred tools in my own personal and professional development.

Intuitive Image Work (aka SoulCollage®)

In 2016, I attended a SoulCollage® workshop focusing on Dreamwork. This practice created by a Jungian Psychologist of collaging and then reading images blew my mind from the very first workshop. I have been doing this practice of intuitive image work ever since. I am continuously amazed at the beautiful clarity and healing power images we make with our own hands, and how they can give us deep, resonant insights.

This practice is a go-to with clients when I can sense something is going on beneath the surface, or we can both feel there is some deep unconscious belief or experience that is wanting to be heard from but we can’t quite get to it in the usual logical or strategic ways. It helps identify energies that are very active inside of us, and archetypes that are wanting to be seen and heard.

Some examples might be:

• Make an image for you/your business

• Create a vision for your perfect client or business partner

• An undefined energy is holding you back: make an image and see what comes to the surface

• Something in you/your business is evolving; make an image for that

This therapeutic collage practice is both a fun and deceptively easy “shortcut” to your unconscious. First you make the image (fun! easy!) and then I will guide you through reading/understanding what that image has to say (this is the fun shock and WOW part!) The insights I have watched people experience along with my own have been profound, and I still have people talk to me years later about images they created that serve as guideposts or north stars for their life decisions.

In 2018 I completed my SoulCollage® facilitator training, began leading events and workshops in person and online under the name ARTxMAGIC (ART BY MAGIC).

Archetypal Work

Archetypes are universal patterns of energy, appearing in every culture across time, yet known by many names. —Seena Frost (creator of SoulCollage®)

Rooted in Carl Jung's theories, archetype work is important for personal growth and understanding because it provides a framework for exploring universal psychological patterns and their influence on our lives. By identifying and working with the archetypes inside ourselves (The Creator, Explorer, Ruler, Caregiver, Jester, Muse, Lover, Outlaw, Magician, Sage and countless others) we can gain self-awareness, understand our motivations and behaviors, and navigate life's challenges more effectively. 

Archetypes are powerful because:

• They can guide us to personal growth and self-discovery

• Businesses can use archetypes to define their brand identity, and connect deeply with their desired audience

• They already exist in all of our consciousness as a point of reference. When we get to a deep personal truth about ourselves (or business), that is often the connecting point that loops us back into the collective experience.

This work helps you understand who you are or what your business is embodying—and alternatively, who might you be pushing away?
