social-emotional tarot
Connect to your sacred intuition.
Many of my tarot clients consider themselves skeptics... and some days, I do, too. But after years of personal practice, the cards have reliably provided insight and guidance on topics both energetic and mundane, and my perspective is that it doesn't really matter if it's real, so long as it's true. My reading style, based firmly in the intuition and personal power of the seeker, demystifies the Tarot and is especially well-suited for first-timers and novice readers.
Unlike some professional readers, I work less as a medium, psychic, or spiritual channel, and more as a "trauma-informed Tarot doula". My practice checks and challenges the dogmatic, racist, gender essentialist, and hierarchical barriers to entry that have historically made the craft intimidating or unappealing to potential practitioners. I aim to offer my clients clarity about the path ahead and insight into the technology of Tarot.
Please note that I am not a psychic, telepath, or medium. The readings I offer are not meant to give you specific predictable outcomes, but to help you connect to your own intuitive wisdom.

testimonials
“After my tarot reading with Haylin, I told my therapist about my spread and she said LISTEN TO YOUR CARDS. It goes to show just how tarot reading can help you externalize the things you are struggling with and allow you to pick out whatever patterns resonate in order to lead you towards healing. It’s an exercise in mindfulness and recognition, and Haylin acts as a kind and perceptive guide throughout the process. 10/10 would recommend, and don’t forget to take notes!” — J.C.
“Never having had a tarot reading before, but having heard good things generally about tarot and about Haylin in particular, I was excited but a little nervous for meeting Haylin and the reading. She immediately put me at ease and was so warm and friendly that I quickly felt a lot less nervous. I really appreciated her explaining not just my own cards, but the more general philosophy behind tarot itself and putting everything in context. I came away from the experience with a lot to think about in terms of my reading that definitely put some things I’d been thinking about in new perspective, but also just really impressed with the way tarot works and how it can be helpful more broadly. Haylin was so lovely and I’m very glad that I got the opportunity to have a reading with her!” — S.M.
“Haylin was the first person I’ve had a tarot card reading with, so I was both nervous and excited to see how it would go. Once I arrived, Haylin immediately made me feel more comfortable and less nervous. She explained how it would work and made it clear this was a very open environment. Her confidence and positive energy drove the entire experience. I also felt like I learned a lot - not just about myself and tarot reading, but also about the thinking process and how to interpret the readings. I would 100% recommend Haylin to any friend and I will absolutely return - no regrets.” — C.B.
“I am relatively new to Tarot. I have a basic understanding of how it works but have never had a reading until I met Haylin. She was extremely personable yet professional, which is a fantastic balance when having a reading of any kind done. She gave me her insight through the cards with authority and I never once felt as though she was prying to find out information or feedback to help guide her process; everything felt very authentic and honest. Would highly recommend Haylin!” — A.B.
“Haylin is a fantastic reader—she uses the cards to create a sort of loose path to guide you to a deeper understanding of your questions. Working with her helped me feel prepared for some pretty major life transitions, and was an incredibly soothing and creative experience.” — A.O.
“The traits that make Haylin a lovely person - being incredibly insightful and intelligent, with a warm humor and sincere desire to connect with others - are the same traits that make her a gifted tarot reader. She brings those traits to the cards and the results are somehow both silly and profound, fun and utilitarian. Her generous ability to find your narrative while practicing patience, enthusiasm, and, of course, a little bit of magic(k), make her Tarot readings a seriously worthwhile experience.” — E. W.
“I had never met Haylin before the moment of the reading and I had never had a tarot reading before, but Haylin was welcoming right from the beginning, encouraged questions (even if I thought they might be dumb), and we covered a lot of ground in the allotted time. She also asked how various aspects of the reading might be resonant in my life, but she didn’t require that I tell her exactly how at the points where I didn’t want to. The reading illuminated some hard things that I’ve been avoiding and it gave me a lot to think about.” — A.B.
“I’d never done a tarot reading done before so I didn’t go in with any preconceived notions - or even a specific question. In spite of my lack of familiarity, the tarot reading was personal, intimate, and (for a slightly skeptical soul) surprisingly accurate. Though I had mostly gone in with a casual “Why not try it once?” attitude, I ended up finding the experience quite enlightening and reassuring, courtesy of Haylin’s thoughtful, specific reading of the cards. Her comments were perceptive, and I came away with a sense of clarity about issues I hadn’t realized I’d been avoiding so fiercely. All of which is to say— Haylin is a great person for first-time tarot folks. She’s friendly, approachable and her readings are genuinely insightful. Have recommended and would recommend again.” — N.R.
