Hello and welcome, I’m Jil, and yes that is a knitted boob in the background. My working life in the NHS as a breastfeeding specialist and privately as a doula for many years led me to reflexology, when I saw the amazing results of single treatments on women being pressured into induction. So in 2015 I undertook a year’s diploma, gaining a level 3 qualification with VTCT, which enabled me to go on to specialise in maternity reflexology. From there came the strong perception of the flow of my clients’ energy fields, which lead me on to study Usui Ryoho Reiki to level 3, and Tera Mai Reiki to level 2. I’ve practised Tarot all my adult life and continue to study under some fantastic teachers: Paul Hatter, Laetitia Barbier Marcus Katz and Lindsay Mack to name a few.

I’d be delighted to read for you over email, or offer reiki or reflexology. If you’re close to your time and need an urgent maternity appointment, don’t hesitate to call the number in the description on the service page, if you can’t find a slot in my schedule. I look forward to meeting you!

I think of this quote often as I reach for my Tarot. Even if I haven’t much time, interacting with the cards feels to me like floating into a different plane of existence. Spending time with these archetypes in their world offers to me, at the very least, some respite from the challenges of this world, even if I haven’t approached the Tarot with a question in mind.

Tarot is unique as a system of divination, because it manifests in such a proliferation of different visual expressions of the same 78 keys. There are even more decks where the keys differ in meaning and number, and in addition to this, oracle decks and the like, although I enjoy Tarot the most.

There are no rules. No one person or corporation ‘owns’ the Tarot. The Tarot is yours and mine. Even the little booklet which comes with a deck is only a guide of suggestions which we are free to ignore. For me this explains the reason that Tarot has been either ridiculed or tabooed over the years. No-one owns it, and yet we can all step into our power and freedom through the doors of those little cards, anytime, any place.

I give thanks to my teachers: Paul Hatter, Lindsay Mack ,Jessica Dore, Laetitia Barbier and Hannah Joy Graves

At the moment I’m offering readings by email only, via set slots of time during which I will be working on your reading. You will receive a beautiful printable PDF which includes a photograph of your cards. Just select your reading from the selection here, and let me know what you’d like me to focus on.

There are no set rules for Tarot, but I have a few of my own.

• Complete confidentiality for my clients

• I read Tarot. I’m not a counsellor, doctor, or therapist, and my readings are not intended to replace any professional advice you might need to seek.

• I don’t discuss medical, legal, or financial issues, including health, fertility and pregnancy concerns.

• I don’t tell you what is going to happen. If I could do that, I’d have the lottery numbers and I’d be riding a motorcycle across the Californian desert right now. Tarot is like me holding up a mirror for you to see the hidden resources you have available to you.

• Your free will and your own judgement and decisions are far more important than anything I can tell you.

• No-one under 18

• Tarot is for entertainment purposes only.
