Hi, I’m Sarah!

I use the quote above because this has been my personal serenity prayer for many, many years. One of my biggest life lessons has been patience in the process, and knowing that our growth and evolution cannot happen in an instant. I truly believe the internet and social media has made us forget that the natural progression of things always takes longer than we’d like.

With that being said, I believe this same sentiment of patience reflects in the tarot cards, or any metaphysical practice. I have often asked the cards the same question day after day, hoping that maybe the cosmic forces that be will help things speed along. Despite my human desire for a quicker timeline, often the same message will simply appear over and over again, reminding me that lessons need time and space to integrate into our lives. I have started to find comfort in this, as again it is a reminder that there is no rush, I am doing nothing “wrong,” and sometimes your only job is to keep on keepin’ on. Kinda refreshing, huh?

I started reading tarot during the pandemic. I had done a few readings with the person who ended up being my trusted mentor, and every time I went to her for a reading, I left with a deeper understanding and an overall sense of peace that I couldn’t seem to find in other places. I continually felt drawn to tarot as a way to understand ourselves and navigate our life circumstances, and eventually enrolled in a course to learn how to read. I haven’t looked back since.

Tarot has flowed in and out of my life in various intensities since then, but I find comfort in knowing it is always an available tool to me.

That’s the thing about tarot: It’s not meant to tell you your future, or be the thing you go to for every single decision.

No, in fact, I think tarot allows us to trust and understand ourselves on a deeper level so that we can go out into the world and feel more confident in our day-to-day decisions.

To me, the cards now feel like a trusted mentor that I can go to for guidance when I am feeling like I need direction. I am in no way reliant on the cards to live my life, and I say this because I never want any of my clients to give their power away to the cards, me as their reader, or any other metaphysical practice. Tarot is a tool.

Ok, I think I’ve said enough about tarot for now. Here’s a little bit more about me:

• In the past four years I’ve had a major shift in the way that I understand myself and the world (Saturn return, anyone?). I spent many, many years in the hustle culture, wearing my “boss babe” badge proudly, until I found myself completely unfulfilled and having no idea who I was outside of my work. I had a full-on existential crisis, my six-figure business crumbled away and I worked odd jobs and laid on the beach for about 2 years as I attempted to heal from severe burnout. I now see things completely differently, (which I could probably write an entire book about,) but to keep it short, I am realizing the importance of truly just enjoying our time on this planet, without any set goals or expectations. I am constantly practicing the act of just “being.”

• Another thing I found out about myself in my quarter-life crisis was that I love to make jewelry, so you will see that tab above and I open my shop periodically for sales.

• I am over 5 years sober and love my life without alcohol. I’ve never had so much fun.

• I live in Maine—not because I am “from” here, but because I had visited several times and fell in love with the state. My favorite place to be is in the mountains hiking. Whenever I’m feeling anxious, squirrelly or lost, I know that’s where I need to go.

Thanks for being here and getting to know a bit about me. I hope I get to learn more about you if you choose to book a reading.

xoxo

Sarah
