About Marty

Tarot was my first passion and I’ve been a professional Reader for over 25 yrs. The images just speak to me in such an amazing way that is clear and so different than other Divination tools. I bring that into my readings along with teaching/mentoring when inspiring and guiding others in learning this tool. 

Astrology has always been in my minds curiosity but came fully into my life and practice in 2010 as a hobby and addition to my Tarot readings. I started my intensive studies in 2015 and added Full Chart readings in 2016. I’m a member of a few clubs and associations where I keep up with my studies as I will always be learning these arts of Divination and adding to my knowledge and experience!

Long version:
I’ve always been on a Spiritual path but it was more Religious growing up. After coming into adulthood I searched for myself in all kinds of “Other Than Religion” ways. The first one to really grab my attention and heart was the Tarot. Through many years of self teaching, some online groups and courses and doing many readings for friends and family for free, I finally came to a place of being comfortable charging for readings. Astrology was always in the background and the side view. After the passing of my mother-in-law, who was a very good amateur astrologer, I inherited a few of her books and notes both on Astrology and Tarot. I started searching for a way to integrate them both but got a ton of conflicting information. In the mean time I started doing psychic and healing fairs and gained a thriving clientele for Tarot readings. I also started my Tarot Course and ran several 8 week sessions assisting 25 souls to find their own was in learning the Tarot. Simultaneously, After a couple years trying to learn Astrology on my own, I again sought out an Astrology group where I could interact with others who had my similar interests. I found Christopher Renstrom’s Astrology slam meet-Up group in 2010 and spent a few years learning with them. I realized that Christopher was a world renowned Astrologer and eventually decided to take his beginner and intermediate workshops which lead to the advanced weekly class that I continue to participate in. A year after finding Christopher, I starting to ADD astrology to my already blooming Tarot Reading clientele. Soon my clients where asking and demanding I do Astrology readings alone. This always spurs me on into learning all I can to feel stronger and more confident in my client work. I joined Astrology Hub online community in 2017, which exposed me to so many different kinds of astrology and their techniques. Astrology Hub created an Inner Circle membership program which I joined. Through them I was able to take an online 101 course in traditional Astrology with Donna Woodwell, which also exposed me to even more info about other forms and techniques in Astrology. I then went on to take that class again and then became a mentor for the 3rd round to assist others growing their knowledge of Astrology. That course is now a certificate course and being a mentor doubled my understanding of all its material.
I continue to take any workshop on specialty techniques and any course I can find to dive deeper into the mysteries of these ancient wisdoms. I will always be a student as I continue my thirst for knowledge of our world and how we grow and develop with the universe!
