Curious about Transformative Tarot Counseling™ and
About Katrina
What's different about Tarot as a soulful tool?



Tarot Experience
Tarot and I have been walking, hand-in-hand, through life’s ups and downs, around and within, since 1971…55 years!
What started out as a personal relationship, my deep interest and study in all things metaphysical, grew into what is now a fully blossomed love connection.
Through my life experiences, as well as reading with thousands of Souls who have honored me with their vulnerable hearts and lives, I’ve developed a rich understanding of the way Tarot and other oracles guide us.
I love working with clients and students from all over the world. Reading and teaching online is my specialty, as well as something I teach, bringing sessions to life for all.
Here’s a little about my Tarot and counseling background as well as my passion for teaching transformative skills.
What is Transformative Tarot Counseling & Consulting?
Education & Credentials
What can I say? I'm an absolute professional with over 35 years' experience and training in counseling and psychotherapy. And, of course, I bring these therapeutic skills into every session or class to reveal the greatest depth possible for each client or student, delivered in the most respectful way.
