My Story

During a time of grief, health challenges, and heartbreak, I turned to pulling daily tarot, analyzing astrological transits, and journaling to better understand my experience. After my mom passed of cancer early 2022, tarot became not only a way I could connect to her, but also my spirit team, higher self, and other guiding energies. Over time, I started to hone this intuitive craft through practice, noticing, and constant inquiry. In the summer of 2024, I knew I needed a long break from work and decided to fly to Bali for a 23-day retreat. Here, I pulled tarot for others, trusted my intuitive channeling more, and was introduced to Leela, an ancient Indian self-discovery game – the game that solidified my decision to resign from my Chemical Engineering job of 11 years. Turning inward and using these tools have also led me to my vision of converting my childhood farm and barn into a permaculture farm, wellness venue, and retreat center. Since resigning, I have been providing card readings, hosting moon circles, and creating the Banyan Leela game to help others explore their own inner wisdom.
