Exploring symbols, stories & intuitive insight

My journey with tea leaf reading began as a child. My maternal grandparents were readers and very much into the mystic arts, and my sister and I would beg my Nan for readings. I can still recall the scent of fresh tea leaves hitting the teapot, the ritual of watching them steep before pouring and finally drinking the tea, leaving just enough leaves in the bottom of the cup. 

Tea leaf reading is about so much more than the idea of predicting the future. For me, it has always been a tool for reflection, guidance and self-discovery. When I read my own cup, it often reveals patterns I hadn't noticed and offers a different perspective on situations in my life. Like all forms of divination, it acts as a mirror for the subconscious, helping us explore possibilities and navigate life with greater awareness.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, join me as I guide you through a little history, tea types and the symbols that appear within the cup. Together we'll explore your manual and, most importantly, spend plenty of time practising readings and building confidence in your own interpretations.
