WISDOM WITHIN THE WINDS

09/05/2026

Little did I know that opening my first oracle card deck over twenty-five years ago would lead me to discover what lights me up and brings me joy: providing professional readings and teaching others how to work with oracle cards.

It’s been an amazing journey filled with learning, lots of practice, and a very large deck collection.

Now, I’m not one for regrets, but there are 3 things I would do slightly differently if I went back in time to learn oracle cards for the very first time.

1. I WOULDN’T BUY LOTS OF DECKS AT THE BEGINNING

With so many talented creators and amazing oracle decks out there, it can be so easy (and very tempting) to buy a whole bunch of decks when you first start. And let me tell you, when I began, I purchased A LOT OF DECKS!

What I discovered, as a newbie to oracle cards and with so many decks so early on, was that I wasn’t spending enough quality time connecting with one deck. I tried to use all these different decks at the same time, but I wasn’t fully connecting with them.

What I would’ve done differently is buy only 1 to 2 decks to start, so I could spend quality time with them and build a strong connection with one deck at a time.

Down the road, I discovered that spending time looking at the cards, studying their imagery, and journaling my thoughts and feelings about each card would help me bond with an oracle deck. But it would’ve been helpful to discover this earlier.

2. I WOULD FEEL LESS PRESSURED TO MEMORISE THE GUIDEBOOK

When I began working with oracle cards, I thought I had to memorise everything in the guidebooks. This worried me because, as someone who struggled with learning in school, I thought I’d never be able to memorise all my decks. As a result, I didn’t think I’d be able to properly read for myself or others, which led to a lot of self-doubt.

While it’s good to read or look through the guidebook (especially when you buy a new deck), you certainly don’t need to memorise every detail for every card.

What I would’ve done differently is tell myself it’s okay to refer to the guidebook, and that there doesn’t need to be pressure to memorise it. I also would’ve encouraged myself to practise more and spend time with the cards, because over time this will help my intuition develop and my reading skills grow, which will help me do readings for myself and others.

3. KNOW THAT THERE’S NO CORRECT METHOD TO READ THE CARDS

At the beginning, I was so worried that I was reading the cards the wrong way. Do I need to shuffle them a specific way? Is there a certain amount of time that I need to shuffle them for? Do I have to read reversals? All of these questions (and many more) ran through my mind, making me question myself.

What I didn’t realise was that each reader can develop their own style and flow based on their relationship with the oracle deck. There isn’t a one structured system everyone must use or follow, and discovering your own style and flow is part of the journey. Thankfully, I began to understand this over time, but I wish I’d understood it a little bit sooner.

So if you’ve been thinking about starting a journey with oracle cards, or you've already started one, be kind and gentle with yourself. Take it one day at a time. Have fun, trust your process, and keep practising.

When it comes to intuitive oracle card readings, the quality of your question can make a world of difference in the insights, guidance, and messages you receive.
​
The reading is not just about the cards themselves; it’s about the conversation between you, your higher self, and the universe. It provides clarity, support, and a deeper understanding of your current situation and feelings.
​
I also sometimes describe it as chatting with your BFF. Much like a close friend offering some advice and sharing their perspective, the oracle cards and intuitive messages reflect your thoughts and emotions, help you see things more clearly, and offer guidance.
​
Whether you’re seeking clarity on a personal issue, wondering which path to take, or exploring new opportunities, how you phrase your question can shape the depth and usefulness of the messages you receive.
​
So, by asking a thoughtfully crafted question, you can better understand your current situation, recognise your feelings, uncover opportunities, and connect with your inner self.

We live in a digital age, and many things are accessible through smartphones, tablets, and computers.

This is why many spiritual and divination-based businesses offer services online, including video sessions or email readings.

I still very much enjoy in-person and one-on-one video readings, but email readings offer great benefits, which is why I offer this service.

1. IT CAN BE MORE CONVENIENT:
An intuitive email reading is excellent for people with busy schedules who don't have time to book a 1-on-1 reading.

2. IT CAN BE MORE COMFORTABLE:
An intuitive email reading can help those who feel a little shy or would be more comfortable without meeting face-to-face.

3. IT CAN BE MORE DIGESTIBLE:
Having the intuitive messages in a PDF booklet can help you process information more easily and at your own pace.

4. IT CAN BE USED AS A GUIDE:
You can print out your reading, save it on your computer, or keep it on your phone so you can see where you need to go on your journey or how far you’ve come.

For a long time, I didn’t have a spark in my business, but it wasn’t because I didn’t care about my clients or no longer wanted to support others. It was because I needed more time to rest, heal and work on myself.

It all began when my husband and I were victims of a car accident, which caused so much anger, anxiety, pain, and PTSD.

Shortly after that, my father unexpectedly passed away, filling my heart and soul with heavy grief and sadness. Then I lost my grandpa, my last remaining grandparent, along with other family members and dear friends, bringing even more grief into my life.

During this time, I was also struggling with Neurofibromatosis-Type 1 (NF1 for short), a condition that I was born with, which began causing health issues for me.

With all these experiences, thoughts, and feelings happening in my life, my inner spark—the source of my light, creativity, and soul’s purpose—began to fade.

My energy became drained, leaving me with limited strength in my business and in my life in general.

There were moments when the spark began to light up once more, but as soon as I moved forward, it would fizzle out like a sparkler because I was trying to jump right back in fully, even though I still had limits.

I care deeply about the business I created and the people I support, but deep down, I knew I needed extra time to recharge and let my energy softly return.

So, I allowed myself to slow down and rest whenever I needed. I gave myself the self-care needed to nourish my mind, body, and spirit.

I didn’t pressure myself to do everything I thought I should be doing, nor did I force anything by spending energy I didn’t have to spare.

Then, little by little, the spark began to grow, and the light became brighter.
My energy, which once felt drained, felt stronger.
And I was able to return to wisdom within the winds, feeling refreshed and renewed.

This experience reminded me of the importance of listening to your mind, body, and spirit.

Resting and recharging isn’t just an act of self-care; it’s a promise to do what’s best for you. It’s listening to what your mind, body, and spirit need more of, without timelines, restrictions, or guilt.

So please know and always remember: it’s okay to give yourself permission to slow down and rest.

If your mind, body, and spirit are asking you to slow down and rest, I hope you will honour their whispers before they become a shout.

(And I’m excited to share that I have more openings and availability for my readings once again. If you’d like to learn more, please click on the link below to view the readings currently available.)

Dear Creator,

With an open heart and loving intentions, I call upon you to bring rain to where it’s needed most. Help extinguish the fires that are destroying forests, trees, plants, flowers, animals, birds, insects and communities across Ontario, Canada and around the world.

Please hear my prayers and the pleas of so many others because now, more than ever, we need your divine intervention.

Use your divine powers to prevent these fires from spreading and causing more destruction.

Please also use your divine powers to help protect Mother Earth, our nurturing and sacred home, from those that are creating this havoc and harm.

Quench the thirst of our beloved lands.
Heal the wounds that have been inflicted.
And guard it from future harm.

And so it is.

I’m a big fan of 80s music. There’s something about it that always lifts my spirits and makes me want to dance.

Lately, I’ve been hearing “Break My Stride” by Matthew Wilder on the radio, and it got me thinking… how often do we let life’s obstacles slow us down or make us doubt our direction?

It’s so easy to lose momentum when things don’t go as planned — when delays, detours, or self-doubt creep in. Sometimes it’s even the voice of others that makes us doubt ourselves or breaks our stride.

When this happens, we may start to question our worth, our timing, or whether we’re even on the right path.

But deep down, our soul always knows the way forward.

Even in the moments when we feel stuck or unsure about moving forward, there’s a quiet strength inside us saying, “Keep going. Keep moving.”

That reminder inspired me to create this 3-card spread I call “Keep On Moving”, which you can use with your favourite tarot or oracle cards.

It’s about reconnecting with that inner courage and strength that refuses to give up, no matter what comes your way.

Card 1 – The Obstacle: What am I giving power to that keeps me from moving forward?

Card 2 – My Power: What helps me keep moving, no matter what?

Card 3 – The Next Step: Where should I focus my energy next as I move forward?

Take a moment to reflect on this card spread. Use it as a gentle check-in to remind yourself that no matter the challenges, to not let it break your stride.

And if you’re ready for personalized guidance to help navigate your path, I offer a 1-hour 1:1 intuitive reading or an email reading (which includes a customized PDF booklet). Together, we’ll uncover the messages the universe has for you and help you keep on moving.

Lately, I’ve been moving between two tender needs in my life: rest and release.

My body often longs for rest, an essential act of self-care. Rest is how I replenish my energy and gather strength, especially while living with chronic health challenges.

Then there is my soul, which finds joy and purpose through release. My soul is always nudging me to share, create, and bring offerings into the world; something I love to do.

These two tender needs — rest and release — are profoundly important to me. Finding balance between them is a sacred practice. It’s about allowing rest and release to coexist, moving through the ebbs and flows, and trusting that each need will have its moment.

That’s why there are periods when I’m actively sharing and creating on social media, and others when I turn inward and grow quiet. There are seasons for releasing creativity into new offerings, and seasons for grounding and refilling my cup.

If you’ve been feeling pulled between the rest your body needs and what your soul longs to creatively release, remember: it’s okay to move gently between these two tender needs. There’s no need for guilt or pressure about what you should or shouldn’t be doing; it’s simply about listening to your body and soul.

This weekend, what’s one small way you can give yourself what you need, whether that’s rest or release?

(And to my clients, followers, and everyone who’s stayed connected here — thank you for being present, even through my tender moments of rest. Your presence here truly means so much to me.)

Journaling is a space to explore; it’s not about getting everything right.

When you sit down to write, remind yourself:

✍️ It’s okay if your handwriting is messy.

🗓️ It’s okay to skip a day (or several).

💚 It’s okay if you don’t have the answers yet.

Your journal is your sanctuary—a place to explore, reflect, and be yourself.

Which of these reminders resonates most with you? Share in the comments!
