When I was a little girl . . .
I wanted to be a witch. The kind that kept a house in the woods, communed with animals and nature, drank a lot of tea and did good magic.
Decades later, I am delighted to find that my life has come full circle, and I get to be a witch after all. The kind who loves her house, talks to her cat and to the trees and animals in her vicinity, drinks a lot of tea, and does good magic.
These days, instead of being a gangly little girl in too-small clothing getting scratched up in the woods or hiding somewhere in the house to read, I am a slightly plump older woman with grey (and blue and purple) hair. Though I still love to go larking in the woods, and can often be found reading (though I no longer have to hide).
I also get to be a mother of two adult women who are amazing in their own rights, and the grandmother of a baby girl who is an absolute joy. I am also a trained life coach who enjoys helping others find their own paths to happiness, a long-time tarot reader (over 40 years now), and a happily married wife. It took me three marriages to get it right, and my husband Morris is simply the best man for me.
Some day, I will share more about my journey from there to here, which included many, many detours and mistakes. But today, I want to share why I do what I do.

Why I do what I do
It was a long, twisty-turny journey for me to get where I am in life: happy. settled. unencumbered.
I want that for you, too. And I want to help you get there as easily as possible. I see it as my sacred obligation to help other women find their way.
Maybe it’s my feminism, maybe it’s my own personal moral code, maybe it’s my belief in a better world where things are actually more egalitarian and women are safe and valued. Maybe it’s my strong maternal instinct (I was always the “mom” in my friend groups), or my desire to nurture and protect others so that they don’t have to suffer the way I did.
Whatever it is, it’s deeply, personally motivated. And it turns out that I have an amazing set of skills that combine to make me really good at what I now do. I combine my own metaphysical skills, including tarot, energy work, mediumship, and more, with the practical skills I’ve learned as an author, lawyer, parent, caretaker, orphan (since 2023), and life coach (since 2019).
I would love to assist, whether that’s providing a tarot reading to offer guidance, one-on-one coaching to help you work through one or more issues, or joining in circle with like-minded women to connect our magic. You can learn more about how to work with me here.
