a journey with Tarot

academia & healing - intuition & intellect

In 2009, I completed my PhD thesis: ‘Navigating Cultural Spaces’. On reflection, I can see my life has been, and continues to be, a process of navigating cultural spaces. Born in England, to parents who had emigrated from India, as a family we relocated 18 months later to Aotearoa New Zealand. With the exception of a two year period in Saudi Arabia, I consider myself blessed to have grown up in Aotearoa. Yet I have always been proud of my Indian heritage and in 2014 felt the need to honour the call to ‘return home’. Currently I live in Chennai, South India.

I have been drawn to ‘healing’ work throughout my life, not surprising really – I come from a family of health professionals! My own journey initially took me down the path of occupational therapy where I practiced as a clinician in a variety of mental health service settings in Aotearoa New Zealand. From this base I have extended my practice in the realms of healing work through various training in energy healing, counselling, and working in the Akashic Records.

Following completion of my PhD, I moved from clinical work to academia, and since that time have held various roles in academic institutions in New Zealand, the UK, and India. Currently I am self-employed working with individuals and groups offering services including training and support primarily in the areas of ‘qualitative research’ and ‘personal growth’.

At the start of 2022, I gained my certification as a Tarot Advisor through Biddy Tarot and Diploma in Tarot from Tarot for Women. This was the motivation needed to embark on another chapter in my life. I believe Tarot is a tool that allows me to combine my two worlds of academia and healing. Drawing on my skills of logical thinking, written communication, intuition, and empathy, I offer a unique way to support people in their journey. All I ask is an open heart and mind as you receive the messages from Tarot with my guidance.
