Testimonials from Clients & Students

“I thought I loved myself pretty well, but my Tarot reading with Katrina guided me and inspired me to love myself even better. I gathered new clues about how to treat myself with the practical compassion I need to fully bloom. Her open-hearted curiosity stimulated my own open-hearted curiosity to operate at peak levels. I loved that! Her smart kindness catalyzed our ability to explore a frontier of my self-understanding.”  (2019)   — Rob Brezsny, Free Will Astrology

“A special thanks to Katrina Wynne for the soul journeying. I went to another dimension and back. Learned something that tied together the entire year for me. Now it all makes sense. ((Thank you)) Katrina.”
— Donnaleigh, New York, USA

“Yesterday’s experience was amazing…your intuitive words offered direct guidance to me and really hit home. Thank you!”  — Barbara, Oregon, USA 

“What I enjoy so much about Katrina’s readings is that they are done in a very personal way. I simply experienced this process while Katrina witnessed and facilitated it for me. It was a discovery of self, where I recognized my power in relation to universal sources of energy."
— Melissa, Brazil

“I remember with gratitude the nuanced and profound reading I got from you at the (Oregon Country) Fair a few years ago.” (2006) — Rob Brezsny, Free Will Astrology

"The 'ritual' brings one into spaces within that connect each layer of ones being, explanatory of both the light and shadow of ourselves with an impact hard to ignore. It was almost an epiphany… I feel gratitude for the intuitive teaching guided by Katrina, it was validating and reinforced my spiritual journey. Now, it is up to me to put the amazing, “aha” experience into practice.  Thank you!”  — Barbara, Oregon, USA     

“Katrina thank you so much for taking me on a deep dive through the Awakening Universal Purpose. I was blown away by how much i felt and experienced and the insights that emerged. I still feel its effects 6 weeks later in that i’m experiencing a lot of shifts on all levels. I feel i’m being fast tracked into being Purposeful and Source led. As i re-read my notes, i am again reminded of the Power within, that i am unfolding and becoming That which is speaking to me in every moment, That which was revealed to me during this beautiful soul opening experience” — Manisha, Hawaii, USA

“I hope sharing my story (posted on the weblog) helps people to open Love to Divine Source. Good luck to you on your career and bless everyone who comes to you for help.”  — Nhan, Oregon, USA

 “Experiencing the Universal Life Purpose activation with Katrina Wynne was truly profound. It was a once in a lifetime reading where I was able to integrate deep parts of myself and experience them in a unique way. We did this reading through Skype and found the process was in no way altered by communicating through this medium."  — Melissa, Brazil

“The reading itself allowed me to tap into core dimensions which I have felt over the course of my life, but never had the opportunity to explore in great depth. I appreciated the opportunity to match a figure in tarot to each level and personalize the dimension for myself. The division between the dimensions allowed me to characterize the different energies that I often tap into through meditation, prayer, art, and other forms of conscious expression and exploration.      What I enjoy so much about Katrina’s readings is that they are done in a very personal way. I simply experienced this process while Katrina witnessed and facilitated it for me. It was a discovery of self, where I recognized my power in relation to universal sources of energy. What I really found pleasurable about this reading was Katrina’s ability to help me access the dimensions through meditation, music, a hand mudra, and spoken word. A diagram of the dimensions was in front of me along with colored depictions of where each dimension sits in relation to my point of reference. Plus, a meditative posture was used to capture the energy and awareness of the dimension at hand. After Katrina eased me into this space, I was able to draw a card that captivated and reflected this energy back to me. This allowed for more understanding and further exploration of the dimension at hand. Each card mirrored my experience of that dimension as we would build and explore higher and higher dimensions until we reached completion at the 10th, the universal source.” — Melissa, Brazil

"Thank you so much, Katrina, for a truly inspiring class today. You really opened my eyes to new perspectives that I can practically apply to my business, as well as personal life. How to be a more mindful, compassionate human being. And it was so fun co-creating with everyone. It warmed my soul. Excited for the next session!" — Morrah, Professional Supervision

"Thank you, Katrina, for your wonderful insights, feedback, and guidance. It was amazing to meet fellow tarot practitioners. So happy to meet you and looking forward to working with you all again!" — Eliza, Professional Supervision

"I love the idea of working with the Tarot on re-programming our cells, clearing from inherent negative beliefs and forgiveness – lots of lovely inspiration and stimulation!" — Steve, Ancestral Trauma & Healing with Tarot

"Thanks for sending the handouts so quickly." — Arlene, Ancestral Trauma & Healing with Tarot

"By definition, a retreat is an event in which one backs off from stressful situations to recharge the physical/mental batteries. I can definitely say that the recent Tarot event that Katrina offered last weekend not only allowed me a chance to regroup, it also helped me to realize how important it is to have the opportunity to retreat to a safe place of contemplation.

To grab our attention, the main speaker, James Wanless, performed his initial interpretation of the Emperor card. What did it mean to be in the position of a masculine role model or leader? Realizing that a few of the group members were also interested in this question, I was immediately intrigued to know more.

In her first group session, Katrina Wynne added coals to the fire of this question when she invited each of us to consider all aspects of the Divine Masculine. For some of us, including me, I thought about my own nature as displaying some of the traditionally masculine traits of toughness for survival.

As is always the case, Katrina Wynne presents a professional and comprehensive approach that invites her students to open up their hearts and minds to the topic at hand; in this case, she was offering us a fresh take on what it means to be human in these complicated times.

Using a "Circle Game" to offer a tangible approach to this topic, Katrina challenged each of us to dive deep into our understanding of the Divine Masculine.

In the third session, chaired by James Wanless, we drew cards for a reading to consider the matter from another angle. Not surprisingly, the choices for several of the participants were in line with their own mind and soul concerns. I was surprised to draw aces for all four of my cards. It was suggested at a subsequent reading that this might have to do with opening up to new beginnings in all aspects of my life.

At any rate, I cherished the energy and insights this retreat helped me to discover. Thank you, Katrina, for a meaningful experience. It goes without saying that we are offered many opportunities throughout the year to awaken our senses and to work toward transformation and growth. It helps me to think we are all part of the same human family, in search of the same chances for a meaningful life. I look forward to next year’s retreat. Thanks again, Debra M."

"Katrina Wynne's An Introduction to Transformative Tarot Counseling is a powerful work in a small package. Finally, a book that demonstrates what tarot counseling is all about. Wynne shows how alchemy and the 'magic of change' in a tarot reading results from a reader who supports and follows the querent's own experience of the cards. Find out if a tarot counseling approach is right for you. Explore the skills and ethics involved. Highly recommended." — Mary K. Greer, author of 21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card and Tarot for Your Self.  

"I encourage anyone that wants to bring more depth to their readings (including readings for themselves) to include this book in their library!" — Bonnie Cehovet, from her weblog Perspectives On Tarot - Bonnie's Tarot World

I came across your book on Amazon, and I am impressed with how you have integrated Tarot with counseling. I am a holistic clinical counselor and use energy therapies and spiritual counseling in my practice. I really believe in integrating what in the past has been seen as mystical, with contemporary approaches to healing. I love that you're doing this and believe our world needs more of it.  Thanks again for your contribution of bringing together the best of the old with the best of the new!  — Diana J Bowen, PhD, LCPC

Overall, Transformative Tarot Counselling is a very well written book that presents its ideas and processes in a very clear and smart way. I would recommend this book to experienced Tarot readers who are open to exploring new ways of reading Tarot and engaging with clients. I personally appreciated the opportunity to learn more about Katrina's style and evaluate how I might integrate some of her techniques into my own reading style. And you don't have to subscribe to every one of Katrina's philosophies or approaches to get value from this book.  I would especially recommend this book if you are a Tarot reader who is interested in how you can conduct interactive dialogues with your clients in ways that will engage them in the reading and that will open them up to their own, personal insights. And I would recommend it for those readers who are more naturally inclined to a counselling style of Tarot reading.  — Brigit Esselmont, Biddy Tarot

"I think Katrina is a brilliant teacher. Very friendly, personable and approachable. Clearly very knowledgabe and dedicated to her work. I also find her very humble, and like that, she is not prescriptivist in her approach, but simply teaches us what she knows, and leaves us to decide whether or not we follow this in our own personal journeys. I think all good spiritual teachers are like this—encouraging students to follow their own journeys rather than forcing their own experiences and views onto others." — Coral, PTC-1, graduate

"The Professional Tarot Consulting program was the perfect way for me to dig deeper into Tarot – to learn and experience so much more than just a basic overview of the craft. Katrina is beyond knowledgeable in all things Tarot – you can tell she is just scratching the surface of all she wants to share – and yet each class was overloaded with history and connections and new awareness.

"The email notification of the PTC-1 was serendipitous, as I had recently left another group where I had a very negative experience with the group leader. Knowing that you had a professional counseling background and therefore the skills to be an effective group leader, I felt safe to study with you. On day one you stated 'Please read posts with compassionate eyes and share with a caring tone." My trust in you was immediately validated!'" — Linda, PTC-1 graduate

"This fully encompassing and intensive course, the Professional Tarot Consulting Program,  teaches skills that are highly beneficial, and expands the inner work with clients by bringing science-based knowledge and the metaphysical art facets together, and which enhances professional tarot reading and intuitive skills. It teaches everything from ethics and taking practical steps in business to gaining an in depth understanding of Dreamwork, Alchemy, the Kabbalah, Astrology and Symbolism and how it relates to tarot etc. You will notice the tarot readings will be more multi-layered that allows an non-authoritative line of questing and actively support clients gain a purpose and self-empowerment within life." — S K, PTC-1 graduate

I stumbled into this course thinking it would assist in developing my counselling skills, ie how do you frame questions, what would you do if this situation arose ? etc etc.(nuts and bolts issues) What I got was so much more.
