Hello there.
Just a quick hello to let you know that since December 27 I have started to post the card for the day on my Face Book page.
I hope you will check it out. The link is on my welcome page.
I am also on Instagram.
Another successful Tarot party.
Tarot party
Hello there!
Last night I had the pleasure to do another successful Tarot party.
I had the privilege to read for eight amazing ladies. I had a great time working with these young, fun, and welcoming women.
Tarot parties can add some excitement and fun to any gathering.
Are you planning to host a birthday party, a stag and doe, new years eve, or a girl’s night in ?
Give me a call, I will be happy to explain how it works.
What is new at Wisdom and Healing
Hello everyone.
I hope you are all doing well.
There are a few things I would like to update you about.
October was hectic . First I got COVID, which put me out of commission for about two weeks, then I got very busy reading at events and Tarot parties.
Some of you might have noticed that I haven’t been offering Numerology readings for a few months. I was supposed to start again this month, but first I had to deal with some medical issues and yesterday my Face Book page was hacked. Some Rachel Ryan seems to be in control of it. If you are in my fb contacts please check your contacts and if you find her name, block her. I have spent all yesterday trying to regain access, but she seems to also have hacked my [email protected] email, so don’t use it to contact me, because I will not receive your message.
This web site was not hacked, so the contacts form works fine. You can also call me or text me on my cell.
Given the many cases of COVID19 as well as of influenza, I am again not booking Reiki appointments at this time.
You can still book Tarot readings with me both in person or on Face Time or What’s App.
Thank you for your understanding.
The Witches’Ball
The Highly anticipated Witches’ Ball was a success and I had a great time.
Two hours of fast Tarot readings for fun, amazing ladies.
The mood at the beautiful Elora Brewery was full of excitement.
Everyone working or attending the event was encouraged to dress up for the occasion, which gave me the perfect excuse to buy a new, fun Halloween costume.
I am very grateful to Kathie Cher of Ruby Sage Inspiration for the soul for organizing the event.
I had a wonderful time meeting the clients and the other readers.
Walking to the car after the event I couldn’t help but notice the beauty of Elora at night, gracefully decked for Halloween. It felt magical.
Vacation time.
Edited 9 of Pentacles from Everyday Witch Tarot deck.
Hello everyone.
I just want to let you know that my vacation time is coming up soon. I will not be available from August 11 to August 21 included. I still have openings between now and the start of my vacation.
I will check my e-mail and messages while away, but it might take me a couple of days to get back to you.
I wish you all a great Summer.
Offering Reiki again.
Hi everyone.
I am offering Reiki again. I know it has been a while, since the beginning of the pandemic, to be exact.
Anyway, yesterday I gave my first treatment and it was beautiful to be holding that amazingly peaceful space again.
I am glad to be back, with obvious precautions of course.
I hope to see you soon.
Tarot parties are back!
Tarot parties are back!
I am very happy to say that Tarot parties are back on my list of services.
The pandemic had put a stop to that for a very long time.
Well, as you can probably tell from the photo we took at the end of the party, or at least to the Tarot portion of it, we all had a wonderful time.
All the ladies were amazing, not all of them are in the picture. It was my absolute privilege working with them all, they had great energy.
I would like to thank them for giving me permission to share the photo, I appreciate it.
Take away from this post? Tarot can be a great addition to a party. Many precautions were taken given that COVID-19 is still with us, but life is short and Summer is even shorter.
I want to build more happy memories to sustain me through the long Winter and this one was a great start.
More information on how to book a Tarot party with me can be found here Why do I like Tarot parties? and here Services & Fees
Halloween Reflections.
I woke up in a reflective mood this morning.
At this time of the year, when the change of season is all around us, it becomes easy for me to feel the need to slow down and ponder.
November 1st growing up was the time when my family and I would go to the cemetery to pay respect to the loved ones we had lost.
There we would run into plenty of relatives and our bonds would be re energized.
Around this time of the year, I like to remember those I loved and miss.
During my Halloween reflections I like to ponder on how I have changed and grown through the years.
Today I tried a new Tarot spread I found on http://www.interrobangtarot.com
It is called The Samhain Tarot Spread.
It only requires six cards, but I found it very effective.
What is your favorite spread to use at this time of year?
Summer 2021
Hi everyone.
It has been a while since I last posted. As you can see from the photo of my garden, I have been spending a lot of time outdoors.
Here we are, Summer 2021, things are better than last year, but there is still a lot of uncertainty. I, for one, am trying to decide if it is safe to go to Italy this Fall. I want to see my family and friends, rejuvenate at the seaside, reacquaint my self with Florence, my hometown. I am following the ever changing numbers in Europe, I guess I will decide what to do at the last minute.
Here in Guelph the numbers of cases are very low, the rate of vaccinated people is high. I feel fairly safe.
I have started to offer Tarot readings in person again. I am still taking precautions, reading at a safe distance, clients not touching the cards. I am currently not using the office, because we could not keep a safe distance there. I am reading on the deck and at the dining room table.
I am not offering Reiki yet, I am sorry.
I must say it has been nice to see clients in person again. A few told me they had been hesitant to book on line. They did not know if distance would have affected the quality of the reading. Let me assure you that it does not. Your voice carries your energy and that is all I need.
So, to sum it up, I remain available for Tarot readings on Messenger, Face Time, What’s App and on the phone, plus you can now come to see me in person.
I hope you get to make the most of your Summer, it will be gone before we know it.
Hello again.
Hello again.
I have kept a very low profile for the past several months.
2020 was stressful for everyone and I was no exception. Some personal health issues drained my energy and I had to focus on me. I am now doing fine and I am eager to reconnect with my readers, students and clients.
Due to the pandemic we are all forced to do things differently and remotely.
I am old school and and low tech.
I am familiar with face book Messenger, WhatsApp and face time. We can do Tarot readings on those platforms and of course by phone.
I have used Zoom, but I need to do more research before feeling confident enough to offer classes and Tarot Meet Ups on that platform, but I am working on it.
Please tell me what you would like to learn.
Reversals?
Elements?
How to pose a good Tarot question?
Would you like to learn specific Tarot spreads?
Would you like to learn how to build your own?
Are you interested in taking Tarot 1, 2 and 3 ?
Would you like to focus on the images in the cards and let them speak to you?
I am all ears! Talk to me and I will know which courses I should prepare and when I am ready I will announce them.
I have read so many books in 2020, I have learnt so much that I am eager to share
Good news.
Tarot readings on the porch.
Hello everyone!
It has been a while! During this crazy times I have kept a low profile and I stopped my in person readings and Reiki sessions.
Months have passed, we have a better idea of what we are dealing with and the situation in Guelph is fairly good, therefore I have good news.
I am offering Tarot readings in person once again. In order to comply with safety guidelines I am not working from my office. The room is too small to keep the two metres distance.
Tarot readings on the deck.
According to the weather and where the sun is at the time of the appointment, I will be reading from my deck in the back, my porch in the front or in my dining room.
Also for safety reasons I will be the only person touching the cards.
Of course I remain available for readings on Messenger, Face time and by phone. You can book me for a 30 or 60 minute Tarot reading.
In person readings are one hour.
I hope to see you soon, be safe, enjoy the Summer and contact me if you have any questions.

Nine of Swords
Nine of Swords from Everyday Witch Tarot.
The Nine of Swords guides us through the week of April 6 to 12, 2020.
The image clearly reflects how many of us feel, and perhaps look right now.
During times of uncertainty it is harder to find the strength and motivation to begin another day.
It is easy to give up, let fears and sadness take over.
This week will most likely give us ample reasons to despair, especially if we keep the news on as background noise.
Let’s remember that the darkest time comes just before dawn.
So concentrate on the sunrise and if you can, soak up some sun in the back yard or on your deck.
Get up, take a shower, get dressed, and tidy up your environment. You will be surprised by how such little steps can lift your spirit.
This too shall pass.
Let’s be grateful for our health, our loved ones and even the time we now have to be present and talk to each other.
Something else we can be grateful for is the advance of technology, which is helping us in so many ways.
Many are able to work from home.
We can order what we need and have it delivered.
Thanks to Cable, WiFi, Netflix and so on hours can fly by.
Imagine how much harder the situation would have been with the technology we had in the 60’s.
So get going!
If you are one of those who can work from home, consider yourself very lucky.
To those who still go out to work everyday I say thank you!
You have good reasons to feel tired, scared and discouraged, but your actions help everyone.
So please be strong. Do everything you can to protect yourself and know that you are appreciated.
You are making a difference and don’t let a few idiots here and there make you think otherwise.
To those who have let fear overcome good judgement and compassion, I say “Wake Up!”
Fear is no excuse to stock pile and leave empty shelves to others.
There is no excuse to be rude to those still working with the public. None.
So let us be kind to ourselves and to others.
We are all a bit scared and confused, but if you are reading this it means you are alive, so let’s be grateful for that.
Call your loved ones, forgive and forget.
Express your affection.
Revisit your priorities.
May love prevail over fear and selfishness.
May the lucky ones find the strength to support and comfort the others.
Rise, get dressed and find reasons to smile throughout the day.
I will try to do the same.

The Fool
The Fool from Spell Caster’s Tarot.
It is fitting for the Fool to represent the energy of the week of December 30 2019 to January 5 2020.
The Fool is a beautiful card full of possibilities.
It expresses the open heart and mind and the willingness to go where we have not been before.
This card is the first one of of the Major Arcana, also known as big secrets. These twenty two Arcana tell the journey of the new soul on earth. Card zero is the white canvass that will get painted by the experiences represented by the following twenty one cards.
As I look at the image, I see someone full of hope and travelling light. Somebody without preconceived ideas, opinions or expectations. Someone open to experience what comes along and make the best of it.
Let the Fool inspire you to give life a chance and seek joy and adventure.
If you are bored or dissatisfied with the way things are going, embrace change.
Would you like more joy and excitement in your life?
Go out more. Try new things. Be spontaneous. Follow your heart and your dreams.
Be in the moment, without expectations.
Meet people where they are, not where you would like them to be.
Give people and life a chance.
Free yourself from the desire to control everything and everyone and surprise! You may find yourself walking a bit lighter and breathing a little easier.
At the beginning of a new year most of us feel inspired to make changes to improve our lives.
The Fool encourages that, but instead of writing strict resolutions, give yourself permission to do the unexpected and stay open to opportunities and different ways of doing things.
The Emperor, Major Arcanum 4
The Emperor, Major Arcanum 4 from Spell Caster’s Tarot
The Emperor, Major Arcanum 4, guides us through the week of December 16 to 22 2019.
When you see him think :
a father figure,
power,
passion,
building,
solid plans,
stability,
clear expectations.
Let me give you some examples of how the energy of the card may express for you this week.
Some of you may become fathers.
Some may spend more time than usual with their children.
Others will interact or have important conversations with their dad.
If you are dealing with chaos, now is the time to restore order.
Assess the situation honestly and figure out what needs to change.
Once that is done, show courage and true intention . Stick to the plan and get things done.
If you lack the back bone that is needed, find someone who does and that you trust.
The person cannot be a softy.
He, or she is a good thinker and will come out with a good plan , a list of actions to take and rules to abide to.
The Emperor will have things running smoothly as quick as possible, but everyone will need to follow his instructions, including you.
Last, but not least, building.
With this card, work will start on time and will be done well. The finished product will be beautiful and will last for a very long time.
I am glad to see this, because renovations of my kitchen started today.
Should you want to understand the Emperor, Major Arcanum 4 even deeper, follow the link https://wisdomandhealing.ca/the-emperor/ to another post I have written about him.
