Beyond the cards
My journey with the Tarot began through study and spiritual experience, and for about 8 years I have devoted myself to the cards and to serving people at different moments of their lives. Along the way I deepened my knowledge of different decks and traditions and developed a way of reading of my own, based on listening, welcome, intuition and self-knowledge.
I believe a Tarot reading should neither offer ready-made answers nor decide anyone’s destiny. The cards can bring to awareness feelings, patterns, possibilities and aspects of a situation that may not be clear yet, helping a person look at their questions from a new perspective and better understand the paths in front of them.
My purpose is to offer a safe, respectful space free of judgement, where each person can bring their doubts and explore what really matters at that moment. I do not choose the path for you; I use the cards and my experience to help light your way, so that your own choices can be made with more clarity and awareness.
How I read
A reading begins with an opening conversation, so that we understand what you want to look at right now. You can bring a specific question, a situation you are living through or simply a subject you feel you need more clarity about. From there we decide together the format of the reading, the deck and the depth best suited to your question.
During the reading, the cards are used as a tool for reflection and guidance. A reading can reveal different aspects of a situation, such as feelings, behaviours, patterns, possibilities and paths that may not yet be clear to you. I interpret the cards from your question and the context you present, and can go deeper into the points that come up along the way.
You do not need to know anything about the Tarot to take part, and you do not need to arrive with everything sorted out. My work is to guide the process with listening, welcome, confidentiality and respect, without judgement and without imposing decisions. At the end you will have room to talk about the reading, clear up doubts and reflect on what came up, always keeping your freedom to choose the next steps.
That is why a reading goes beyond the Tarot: it becomes a space of listening, reflection and self-knowledge, in which the cards are only one of the tools used to better understand what you are living through.
Training and decks
My practice is the result of years of study, research and lived experience with different Tarot systems, oracles and esoteric traditions. Along the way I came to know different ways of reading and developed an approach of my own, in which knowledge, experience and intuition walk together.
I do not follow a single method or a fixed spread for every reading. Each question has its own dynamic, so I choose the deck, the structure and the way of conducting the reading according to the theme, the person’s needs and what I perceive during the session. Some readings follow traditional structures; others are built more freely and intuitively.
Among the systems and decks in my repertoire are the Tarot de Marseille, the Osho Zen Tarot, the Baralho Cigano (the Brazilian Lenormand deck) and the Crystal Tarot, as well as other oracles. I also work with specific structures for certain themes. In the Love Reading, for example, I use the Temple of Aphrodite, a spread designed to look at different aspects of an emotional bond.
A few examples of how I work
Free, intuitive reading
It does not necessarily start from a predetermined spread. The cards are laid out and explored according to the question presented and the paths that emerge during the reading.
Love Reading — Temple of Aphrodite
A specific structure for matters of the heart, which can help observe aspects such as feelings, desires, the dynamic between the people, challenges and possibilities within a relationship.
Mandala
A broader reading, suited to when the intention is to look at different areas of life and understand how they relate to one another.
Baralho Cigano
Used when I sense that its symbolic, objective language can serve the question better, allowing us to explore events, relationships, behaviours and tendencies.
Crystal Tarot
An approach that joins the symbolism of the cards with the world of crystals, working on aspects related to balance, emotions, blockages and processes of self-knowledge.
Osho Zen Tarot
A system I use especially when the question calls for a look more focused on awareness, emotional patterns, inner experiences and self-knowledge.
These are only a few examples. The choice of deck and structure is not automatic: it is part of the reading itself. Depending on the question, I may use a single system or combine different tools to go deeper into certain aspects.
For me, technique provides a structure, but intuition helps perceive what needs to be seen, deepened or placed in a new perspective. It is precisely in that meeting of knowledge, experience and sensitivity that I build each reading.
Where and how to find me
I am currently in Japan, but my readings are held online and are available to people in different cities, states and countries.
Readings can take place in different formats, according to your preference and the type of service: in this site’s exclusive virtual room, by WhatsApp, LINE, e-mail, audio, phone, Zoom or other means that are comfortable for you. What matters most is that the experience is private, welcoming and suited to your needs.
I am available to people in Brazil and abroad, with pre-booked times and flexibility for different time zones. If the virtual room is open and I am available, you can also come straight in and ask for an immediate reading. Otherwise, just choose the service you want and book the best time for you.
Important notice
The Tarot readings and the self-knowledge practices offered here are complementary and reflective in nature and do not replace the care, diagnosis, treatment or guidance of qualified professionals in their respective fields.
No information, interpretation or guidance given during a reading should be used to start, change, interrupt or replace medical, psychological or psychiatric treatment, or any other professional care. Likewise, matters that call for specific technical advice should be taken to duly qualified professionals, such as doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, lawyers, accountants or engineers.
The Tarot does not determine the future and offers no absolute answers. Readings are conducted as a tool for reflection, self-knowledge and guidance, respecting each person’s autonomy, choices and free will.
Readings in situations of crisis: this space does not offer emergency care or immediate counselling to people in suicidal crisis or at risk of self-harm. In an emergency, contact a local emergency service or a health professional right away. In Brazil, the CVV — Centro de Valorização da Vida, on 188, offers free, confidential emotional support 24 hours a day.
If you are outside Brazil and need immediate help, look for an emergency service, hospital, mental health professional or emotional support service available in your country or region. In a situation of immediate risk, call the local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency service.
My purpose is to offer a space of listening, respect and welcome, in which the cards can serve as an instrument of reflection and awareness, without replacing what belongs to medicine, psychology or other professional fields.
May each meeting be a chance to look at yourself with more clarity, awareness and freedom.
Gratitude, Love, Peace, Health and Light.
