Hey! I’m Mariah Herself…

​

The way our inner and outer worlds connect fascinates me.  I explore this idea in my work, intrigued by how we think about, express, and find meaning in both the mysterious and the ordinary. I think symbolism can be surprisingly illuminating, innovative and practical. 

​

    Here you will find me offering services for feng shui, astrology, and a couple other niche topics. I created this business to honor this esoteric knowledge I so love and enjoy; to share it with others in a way that is personal and, hopefully, meaningful. I don’t consider myself an expert or a master, rather I’d say something like lifelong student, artist, compassionate traveler and mystery seeker. 

​

Credentials and Influences…

​

As for credentials, I have two black cats and a lot of books, so that might be the only credentials I need? Haha, just kidding, I have other credentials. 

​

For Feng Shui, my knowledge is rooted namely in a certificate from Mindful Design Feng Shui School, an accredited IFSG (International Feng Shui Guild) program. The teachings I learned are from the lineage of Black Sect Feng Shui, communicated to a western audience by Professor Lin Yun, and date back to the indigenous Tibetan Bon Tradition. I have been self learning the Compass style of feng shui independently. As a western practitioner, it is my aim to respectfully appreciate, communicate, and honor this practice as I translate it from my unique viewpoint for my community. 

​

For Numerology, Astrology, and Ki-ology, I am largely self taught. My Numerology knowledge is primarily rooted in the teachings of Faith Javane and Dusty Bunker. My primary influences for Ki-ology are from my feng shui training, the writing of Takashi Yoshikawa, and reading the I Ching.  My Western Astrology knowledge consists of a passionate collection of ongoing study, influenced by modern and traditional astrology practices and the work of Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, Diana Sabau, Benebell Wen, Jan Spiller, Demetra George, and others. 

​

Regarding Western Astrology, I can offer natal and transit insight, thoughtfully taking you into the symbolism and structure of your natal chart and illuminating the stories of planets and points of interest. We can use the symbolism of astrology to have a conversation about career, life purpose, identity, relationships, self growth, or a new perspective of wherever you are at or wherever you've been. We can take a look at the year ahead or years past, identifying possible themes and connecting the dots to encourage self reflection, growth, and a sense of purpose. I can’t read the future and it’s impossible to know everything about you. When I interpret an astrology chart I am interpreting placements of symbols and patterns, following threads and making connections. We can only take part in the mysterious, poetic exchange of astrological conversation. 

​

Should you need specific and focused timing techniques or chart rectification (when exact birth time is unknown), I advise you to seek out another astrologer at this time. Electional requests are on a case by case basis. 

​

Not a credential, but an unexpected and notable influence is my personal art practice, namely painting with watercolor and acrylic. I had a wonderful and skillful art mentor, now passed, Skip Lawrence.  He was deeply informative in the evolution of my art practice, and his influence in my life is something I’d like to credit. At our first session, he told me he had no interest in teaching me how he paints - he was much more interested in helping me uncover how I paint.  This sentiment is something I carry with me into my approach, as well as the transformative experience of the creative process. 

​

What I’m Doing Here…

​

    I am most interested in encouraging you to observe, uncover, and connect deeply with yourself - finding alternative perspectives and reflections that expand and develop how you see yourself and the world. That is something these practices have offered me, and my hope is to foster an environment of exchange for you to encounter your own inspiration and magic. I share my advice, knowledge, and observations, which you are free to take or leave. While all gets filtered through my creative and intuitive instinct, I strive to abide by a high standard of professionalism and ethics.

And for those curious about my natal astrology…
