What to expect as a First Time Client
The 78-cards of a Tarot deck are a ‘map of the human experience’, covering the Big Themes (love, power, creativity, change, spirituality, etc) through to everyday events (balancing work and family, taking on too many projects, the joy of hanging out with friends, etc).
Because the experiences represented by the cards are universally human ones, they help us connect with our subconscious and reveal information to us that we have been ignoring or unable to see.
Therefore, they are a powerful tool to utilize in challenges and opportunities in career, relationships, family life, and beyond.
In essence, the Tarot can be used as a tool to coach ourselves through living our best lives.
The ancient world of Tarot is often misunderstood. What Tarot can do is to help you...
One of the wonderful features of my Tarot Consulting sessions is that they allow you to know what your soul really wants you to do. In many ways Tarot works as a spiritual and energetic mirror where you see yourself in multiple possible scenarios—giving you the opportunity of pursuing or avoiding them before they manifest.

The ancient world of Tarot is often misunderstood. What Tarot can do is to help you...
- Get clarity to make better decisions based on probable outcomes indicated in a reading
- Bring certain aspects into your conscious mind that you were either not aware of or were subconsciously suppressing
- Stop feeling lost or vulnerable regarding situations that require choices that you feel incapable of making because you fear you may take the “wrong” step
- Validate or discard certain thoughts and projects based on indications provided by Tarot about the most likely developments for different scenarios

A Letter from Elzi
First of all, welcome!
I know having a reading/consult for the first time, or first reading/consult with a new reader, can be very nervous making. I am going to try to describe what to expect here so that we don't use your appointment time to establish groundwork. However, if this leaves any lingering questions please do not hesitate to reach out before your appointment or to bring them up right at the start. Honestly, you can ask questions whenever you want because honestly, we'll simply be having a conversation.
Ok, before I get too carried away, some background.
The Tarot is set up with 4 suites under the Minor Arcana (just like a deck of playing cards), and a 5th suit called the Major Arcana. Each of these 78 cards holds imagery that tells a story, holds symbolism, and weight to their own merit that, when drawn, and in different combinations can give us different details, clarity, and guidance toward whatever is being asked. The 56 Minor Arcana cards reflect the trials and tribulations that we experience on a daily basis. Even though the Minor Arcana cards are called ‘minor', it doesn't mean that these Tarot cards won't have a significant impact in your life. These Tarot cards relate to what's happening in your daily life, and can offer insight into how your present situation is affecting you and what steps you need to take to manifest your goals.
The 22 Major Arcana cards represent the life lessons, karmic influences and the big archetypal themes that are influencing your life and your soul's journey. The Major Arcana card meanings are deep and complex – in beautiful ways! These Tarot cards truly represent the structure of human consciousness and hold the keys to life lessons.
If you want to think of it with more of a science mind, each card symbolizes an energy that vibrates at a certain frequency. When we are feeling and thinking we too are emitting energies with certain frequencies. The Tarot cards that come forth are essentially matching the energy you are putting out or seeking. Cool, right?!
I have been reading the Tarot for over 20 years. Because I taught myself how to read I was not influenced by a certain style of reading and therefore my personal style developed over time as I got more and more familiar with the Tarot and with my own intuition.
What is my style? I really hold that I am first and foremost a reader. My practice is client driven. The cards could be interpreted in a number of ways, but only one way is right for you in the moment of time in which you are asking and what you are asking about. None of that fortune-telling gimmicky scare-tactics here. We talk about whatever you want to talk about. We ask the cards whatever you want to ask them. What do you want to take a closer look into? A situation? Yourself? A decision? The past? There may be times where I may suggest questions or alternate ways of asking those questions because it really can help to get a clearer response. I want you to feel comfortable, open, and at ease. Honestly, the more closed off or nervous you are it can actually block the energy and the cards will be very confusing.
We'll start with a conversation. I'll ask for you to update me on whatever the focus is for the reading, the more I know about what is being asked about the better I can interpret what the cards are trying to say. Please know that I hold a judgment-free space and whatever you share with me is considered confidential unless there is a very real concern for your safety from yourself or from others, and vice versa. Sharing details with me really helps to get a feel for how to approach the Tarot in regards to things like what questions are being asked. And there's other nuances about how the cards are pulled and laid out in combination of the knowledge of the situation helps me interpret what the cards are trying to say.
There are also some FAQ you may like to read to give you an even deeper understanding.
I look forward to meeting you!
