Sometimes readings aren’t all shiny and happy. Sometimes, the reading gets deep and unexpected. In these hard readings, tarot readers have an even more important job than tossing cards onto a table. We hold space, really listen to our clients and give them time to speak, and bear witness to their journey.

Melissa, Hilary, and Jaymi take you on a whirlwind tour of boundaries and how you can use them in your personal, professional, and in-between times.

Jaymi's Recommendations
