Ishti
Tarot and Oracle Readings • Being conscious of creating our lives is a co-creative process, when we tap into our Divine energies. We all want to see our lives in Love and Harmony. Bringing loving kindness and compassion to our environment and all who share that bubble. It can be so very important to remember who we are and what we are doing here. Sometimes a way into this powerful growing can come from understanding ourselves through a reading. My readings are an expression of you. No matter what you might think you need to know, your Guides, Teachers, and Soul have a direct message to tell you. My orientation is just that. Let’s discover together. I have been reading Tarot Cards for most of my life. There was a time when I owned a New Age store and yoga studio. My background has deep roots in Buddhism, Hinduism and just plain waking up to the Christ Consciousness we are all a part of.

Arielle Popa
Specialized in Holistic Art of Massage, I started my massage career (2007) in Paris, France (after over 15 years spend in Hospitality). Later in 2014, I graduated from The Academy of Holistic Health Arts in southern California. I'm looking forward to practicing the Art of Holistic Massage that provides a scientific foundation approach for bringing together the "spirit-mind-body" connection to wellbeing. In my personal and clinical experience, a holistic approach promises much deeper and more consistent results. In contrast to traditional forms of bodywork, a holistic approach allows the client to develop a relationship with one's body and a sense of empowerment with its processes. Body massage is Art! Each holistic massage session is a painting I create et sign it for You. When people are happy around me, it makes me feel happy too. Looking forward meeting you!"
