The clarity you have been searching for already exists within you
Tarot, Reiki, and the work of rediscovering who you are beneath who life has taught you to be.
Sometimes survival changes us.
Our experiences in life mould and teach us. We adapt and become whoever feels the most safe at the time.
Maybe you learned to avoid conflict, to don a mask, to put others first, or to walk down a path you knew was not right for you.
More often than not, the person we became to survive sticks with us long after we need them and can keep us stuck in old patterns.
There is no shame in it. There is only responsibility and choice.
Who do you want to be now?
What do you want to do?
Beneath the surface
My work is centered around reflection. I help you see yourself honestly and without judgement. That may look like making sense of a situation you continually find yourself in, understanding why there is a gap between where you are now and where you want to be, and or creating a space for you to reconnect with yourself.
I will not sugarcoat what I do. It can be confronting to look at who you are, especially if you needed to bury your true self to feel safe. There is no shame or force in healing. You do not need to figure everything out on your own or right away. It takes time.
How you learned to survive is not your fault. Through understanding your survival patterns, there comes the opportunity to choose what comes next.
There are a few ways I can help you.
Tarot
Tarot allows us to bring whatever is under the surface into the light through symbolic imagery and intuition. The cards reveal what you are currently moving through, what might be influencing you, and possibilities you may not have considered.
Whether you are feeling stuck, navigating a season of life, want to understand yourself more deeply, or are simply curious about the perspective the cards can offer, a reading with me creates space for you to explore. So bring whatever is most on your heart and we will unearth the answers that are already within you together.
Reiki
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for yourself is rest. If you need a moment to just breathe and be restored, this is for you.
Reiki allows you to receive energetic support and discover the energetic balance in your body. It can help you clear blockages, replenish exhausted energies, and bring healing where it is needed. Reiki creates a deep sense of relaxation that signals your body’s natural repair process. You don’t have to be anywhere other than exactly where you are right now.
The nature of healing.
You can be grateful for what you have and still desire more. The same way you can be spiritual and angry or self-aware and lost.
I am not here to tell you what to do, tell you everything is predestined, or if you raise your vibration all will be well. Such platitudes can feel like a balm in the moment but are unhelpful when it comes to living real life.
I want to help you reconnect to yourself and find the clarity you need to move forward.
Hi! I’m Sylvia.
I do this work because I have been there. I have been on the other side of the table asking for clarity and healing. I know exactly what it feels like to be intelligent, self-aware, and still completely lost. Wanting to be fully seen without judgement is something that I am very familiar with as well.
I believe that you already have everything you need to know yourself more deeply. Sometimes you just need the right mirror, a little support, and a space to see things from a different perspective.

My Tarot reading style is centered around aiding you to be able to see yourself and your life more clearly. Clarity, however, is not always what we think it will be and may even be confrontational. That’s okay. Transformation emerges from truth. Tarot is far from “love and light only” and other such surface level platitudes. It meets us in the subconscious and communicates from that depth. I see Tarot not as a chisel that writes the future in stone, for we all have volition, but as a map of potential pathways based upon our current energies (our thoughts, feelings, and actions). That is the beauty of Tarot to me. To not only gain insight, but also to serve as a reminder that we have the power to change our circumstances. The most important thing I want you to know is that the insight was always within you. The cards just help lay it all out in front of you.
My Tarot interpretation style is very focused on the imagery of the cards and how they are interacting with each other. I have an art background and it is what I notice first. I also pull from some astrological correspondences as well. While I use my intuition to guide me on which interpretation of the card best suits my client’s situation, I do not offer psychic or mediumship readings. So, if what brings you to Tarot are questions about a past loved one, a past life, or similar questions of that nature, another practitioner would be more suited for you.
My approach to Reiki is heavily influenced by the way in which I was taught it. I am certified through Komyo ReikiDo, which was founded by Inamoto Hyakuten, a Japanese Buddhist Monk. I was taught a “less is more” style of Reiki. I have come to only incorporate a very short guided meditation to the beginning of my sessions to aid in transitioning my clients into a restful and relaxed state. I do not really use crystals nor do I go deep into discussing the Chakras (energy centers in the body). At the end of my Reiki sessions, I will reflect with my clients about the energetic balance I encountered in their body, their experience receiving the energy, and if anything came up for either of us intuitively during the session.
Additionally, my Reiki sessions are offered at a distance and that isn’t something to worry over. The best analogy I can think of for this is WiFi. You don’t have to be directly wired in to receive the signal. It reaches you wherever you may be. Reiki is not bound by time or physical space.
