What is Tarot anyway?
In a nutshell: A 78-card deck consisting of 22 Major Arcana cards (addressing broader life themes and archetypes) and 56 Minor Arcana cards (focusing on everyday experiences). Tarot has a long history with many uses: a set of playing cards, a divination device, and a tool to support accessing unconsciousness knowing and intuitive wisdom.

Community Commitment:
My readings support you to:
Hear your inner guidance
Gain fresh perspective
Identify unhelpful patterns
Find clarity in complex situations
Reconnect with your personal agency
I do not use Tarot cards for telling the future, as I don't believe the future is fixed. (See my Ethics at the bottom of the page for more info.)
People seeking:
Deep dives into recurring life patterns
Clarity on current situations, relationships, or creative endeavors
Support during life, business, or creative transitions
Guidance for planning next steps
All identities are welcomed and celebrated in my practice.
I bring a unique perspective as a:
Black, queer, and neuroexpansive person
Writer and performer
Licensed clinical social worker
Mystic and intuitive
My readings compassionately integrate sociocultural awareness and knowledge of our bodies and nervous systems for a holistic experience.
Additionally, I'm a proud alum of both the Anansi and Crossroad's tarot training cohorts from Jade T. Perry's Cecilia Weston Tarot Academy. After completing my training, I was a part of the teaching team as a "Technique and Craftsperson", giving detailed feedback and encouragement to students on their Tarot readings as they progressed through the academy.
Note: While my clinical training informs my trauma-sensitive approach, Tarot readings are not therapy and should not replace therapeutic support.
75% of my Tarot reading proceeds are redistributed to Black, Queer and Trans/non-binary/gender fluid community members.

For liability reasons, I need to note that “Tarot card readings are primarily provided for ‘entertainment’ purposes & should not be used to replace more specific messages that you may be receiving from other professionals you are working with.”

While legally termed 'entertainment', I deeply respect tarot and its potential for insight, approaching each reading with honor and care.
What people are saying
-
"I am still thinking of the space Christina carved out for me months later. I can't recommend her enough. I so appreciated the intention given to our time together even before our session began. She both guided me through the process as well as gave me ample room to experience and digest the cards for myself. I left feeling energized and open hearted."
-
“Calming, enlightening, cathartic."
-
“I would highly recommend a reading from Chris. The way they were able to support using multiple decks and also offer the wisdoms of the elements was key for me. I deeply enjoyed this space and would recommend it for folks who are wanting to be held in a tendered way while also being asked to be with some deep and possibly challenging truths."”
-
"The business tarot readings became a way for me to monthly track my progress, stumbles and big triumphs. The biggest being, having her a witness when I realized my confidence in my own leadership, creativity and follow through had substantially increased. Christina facilitates these reading in an affirming way and though she is present and engaged, her own experiences never seem to overshadow the focus on the messages, the ah ha's or the deep work and desires of the tarot client - business owner themself."
