Before Tarot, I Was a TeacherÂ
I combine my Buddhist background, 15 years as an educator, and four years as an NLP and Mindfulness Coach with Tarot. ​ It's hard to get "unstuck," even when we know what to do. Sometimes, we need guidance, validation, and whispers of confidence from our ancestors and spirit guides that we are on the right path. ​ If you want non-judgemental guidance, make an appointment with me today. ​ Your ancestors see you. Your spirit guides hear you. ​ Let's tap into your intuition.​​ ​ ​ ​

My Back Story
I was born in Vietnam. My father was in the Army and met my mother. When he returned home, he and my grandmother worked hard to bring us to America. Mom and I came to America in 1974 when I was a baby. I became a naturalized citizen a few years after that.
​
I grew up in Austin, Texas. My mother and father did not stay together, and she faced many hardships. Throughout her hardships, she sought out fortune tellers to guide her. 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. Using a regular deck of playing cards to divine is called Cartomancy.
​​​I became a teacher and loved my time in the classroom. Teaching gave me a real sense of purpose. And then the pandemic happened.
​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 (NLP). Simply put, NLP helps people reframe limiting beliefs, which have become their default thinking, into thoughts more aligned with who they are rather than who 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 still have my practice, but I found that combining my love of tarot and mental health was what I loved most. ​Austin Tarot Therapy offers experienced counseling with divination.
