Tarot Readings

Are you at a crossroads and looking for clarity, guidance, and inner peace? Breathe a sigh of relief, as you’ve come to the right place.

You may be here because you are at a turning point in your life and need some insight on where you are, where you are headed and how to navigate a time of uncertainty. You seek the empathy and clarity of a wise guide shining the light through the darkness. You seek a warm, safe, non-judgemental space of support.

Transitional times in life are challenging- we can feel lost, anxious and alone. We start to question the decisions we’ve made, who we are and what we truly want. We wonder if we have what it takes to move toward our dreams or take new steps in our life.

You are not alone. You hold all the wisdom you need within you. Even if it doesn’t seem like it, this transitional time is ripe with magick and potential. By seeking clarity through a Tarot reading, you are taking the first step towards your inner healing and rebirth. You can rest assured that you will feel calmer and clearer after your reading.

Readings are offered both online & in-person.

My approach & experience:

My approach to readings is compassionate, healing and care-oriented, ideal for sensitive souls and those on a personal healing path.

As a sensitive soul on a personal healing journey myself, I have had to contend with many dark times in my life that called me to either change or be changed. I have learned how to navigate uncertainty, overwhelm and fear with spiritual resources and tools, one of the most effective being the Tarot.

Knowing how vulnerable it feels to come to a reader or healer, I value holding a safer space. I have taken counselling training and learned tools for holding trauma-sensitive, confidential and inclusive space. I come from a strong healing background, having worked for years as a Yoga instructor and holistic healing coach. I learned Tarot mostly through self-study as well as through professional readers over the years.

Unlike some readings which simply state the energies at play in your life, we go into how to care for yourself during the process, how to heal and transform old patterns into new pathways while nourishing your sensitivity in mind, body and soul. I also enjoy weaving astrological wisdom into readings, having studied astrology for years with professional mentors through the Canadian Association for Astrological Education.

Client testimonial:

“I am so thankful to Serena for the warm and positive space she created for my tarot reading. She is unlike any healer or reader I have been to before- you can tell she cares deeply about the people she sees and wants only the best experience for each person. It was truly a peaceful and validating reading, and I felt so attuned to and left feeling hopeful and grounded. Serena has such grace and wisdom and was able to frame the lessons of the cards in such a way that I am still thinking about them and reflecting on them weeks later- she is the best!” –Heather

Inner Balance Readings:

Inner Balance Reading with The Gentle Tarot

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed or burned out? You may wish to try an Inner Balance Reading. This is a reading that focuses on your well-being rather than your situation. Sometimes a typical Tarot reading can be a lot to process when you are overwhelmed, burned out or too much in your head. It will help realign your body, mind, heart and spirit so you feel more balanced and at peace.

In an Inner Balance Reading, I guide you through some simple mindfulness exercises to connect within. Then I take you on a guided journey into the healing imagery of each card to rebalance your energy. Benefits are immediate and tangible!

I bring my experience in Trauma-Informed Yoga, energy healing, guided meditation and counselling into these readings. I strive to hold safer and inclusive space for all and keep things fun!

Client Testimonials & kind words:

“Serena lives the truth of what she does. Her grounded, skillful, and deeply in-tune presence has guided me into very profound felt-experiences. Her connection to the earth, and respect for all sentient beings allows me to deepen my own ancestral gifts, while lifting the burden of doing it all by myself. Serena’s perspectives help illuminate gaps in my own and allow me to continue to live my life in a good way. I am incredibly grateful every time I have the opportunity to share space with her.” – Dani H. 

“I have attended a Circle with Serena as well as have had a Tarot reading with her. Serena is incredibly warm and welcoming, and that is extremely important as the Circle and reading were two things very outside my comfort zone. Serena is an excellent listener and observer and really takes the time to help you understand why you’re there. Her interpretations of my reading were eerily spot on and I am very much looking forward to the next one. I would highly recommend having your cards read as it helped me tremendously to reflect on decisions I have made and given me insight into where I’d like to be.”- Kelly

“Thanks again for meeting with me today. You created an exquisite space- with kindness, grace and heartfelt connection. I can hardly wait to read your notes on the reading.” –Wendy B.

Two things really stand out when I think about the tarot reading I did with Serena. The first is the honesty of her readings. I have some small experience with tarot and find that when I read for myself, I tend to skew the messages into something favourable for me. My reading with Serena was a factual and gentle invitation to do some deeper and more honest self-reflection. Her communication style is very comforting so that even a message that is potentially jarring is delivered with care.

Secondly, I appreciated the holistic interpretation of the cards. Even though I came into the reading with one specific question, Serena was able to help me connect it to other portions of my life. So I walked away from the reading with an insight to the greater picture. Serena has an abundance of experience with different modalities which she was able to use in our reading. Thank you, Serena.” – TJB

“Serena sets up a creative, calm and beautiful space for deep reflection about life’s directions and opportunities. The process helps me pause and observe my circumstances guided by the ideas and interpretations arising from Serena’s reading. I come away feeling rejuvenated and equipped with fresh insights. A wonderful experience!” – Mary P.

“I have had several readings with Serena, and I always leave with a clearer sense of where I am at in my thoughts and feelings. Serena’s clear, gentle and firm approach provides me with a sense of calm and steadiness. I appreciate how she helps me interpret the cards, while paying good attention to my needs and energy. I highly recommend a reading with Serena for anyone considering!” – Julia G.
