Hello
I’ve spent the last 20 years helping people find their passion and balance. But I’ve also learned it takes more than a positive attitude to get what you want in life. I gain so much personal satisfaction by teaching strategies I’ve used to help everyday people find peace of mind.
It Wasn't Always Tarot
I was born in Vietnam but grew up in Austin, Texas. I mention my birthplace because, in my community, fortune telling is big, but they don't read tarot cards; they read playing cards.
My mother and I loved getting our fortunes read. I thought it was unusual that all the Vietnamese readers used playing cards while westerners used tarot. I later learned that using a card deck called cartomancy was the original tarot.
​
I joined the Great Resignation of 2020 and left the classroom after 15 years of teaching.
​
I took classes at the INLP Center and received my license in Neuro-linguistic Programming. Simply put, NLP helps people reframe limiting beliefs, which have become their default thinking, into thoughts more aligned with who they are rather than whom they've become.
​
But while I was getting my license, I needed income. I became a cartomancy reader for the app Purple Ocean. Most people do not know much about cartomancy, so I dove back into tarot to get more customers.
​
I opened a successful practice called Good Thoughts NLP. I combined my love of tarot and helping people with tarot therapy.
​
Austin Tarot Therapy offers experienced tarot therapy from an intuitive, certified tarot reader. Led by me, Linda O'Neal, I bring a combination of compassion, trust and education to each of my clients so that they can get the most from their tarot therapy session.
