Tarot & Spiritual Mentor
Unifying Mind Heart & Spirit
I have been a student with the Auckland School of Philosophy since 2019, initiated in the Vedic way of meditation in 2023. I have been a student of Woman's spirituality since 2008, at the time of learning Rider Waite Tarot from my teacher Vjerushka Anne-Marie Kaminski.
In addition to philosophical and spiritual studies, I have trained as a Contemporary Ceremonialist in 2021 with The Auckland Celebrant School, which simply highlights dedication to spiritual development and a devotion to the pursuit of life's truth and wisdom.
The quote from Hermes Trismegistus “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul” is way of seeing that I hold key to our whole and resourced humanness.
I am of Sāmoan and Tokelau Peoples lineage (Villages of Falealili, Togafu'afu'a and Vaisiagno) on my Mother’s side carrying into my people contexts cultural understanding, values and the modality of healing. My preference for life is to operate in an innate way of respectful knowing with a deep comprehension of virtues and expression of indigenous values at the heart. I am an activator of this within all personal and professional contexts.
Tarot
My teacher Vjerushka Anne-Marie Kaminski taught me in the early 2000's, the Rider Waite method. Today, as a reader, teacher and mentor, I am well read and versed in Tarot discourse working more recently with mythological intelligence, archetypes and human behaviour patterns. My style for reading Tarot is to activate your own spiritual gifts and co-create together the conversation and enquiry. This is where your own wisdom and all-of-Self can appear and lead you to the answers of your own enquiry.
The Tarot is a 'philosophical machine' that includes modalities of alchemy, astrology, the sister system to the Kabbalah and has magic. It is a method originally acting as a guide to creative thinking, for the direction of thoughts & feelings to be channeled and as an approach to the accessing the ultimate mystery of unifying the unknowable, the unmanifested Spirit.
"The Tarot, based on the Tetragammaton is the notion of the universal principle which manifests itself in every sphere of life"
Spiritual Companioning
& Ceremony
This is another strategy from The Virtues Project - Spiritual companioning. This modality of human connection I weave with a ceremonial eye, creating circles of respectful, trustful, safe, trauma informed & integrated being.
My intention is to always bring presence, compassion, care perspective, respect, deep listening and reflection.
In these spaces trauma informed care and integration are key, along with a ‘do not attempt fix, solve, give advice or tell you what to do’ knowing. If there is a place where people need additional resources and professional support, I will follow ethical guidelines and refer for this.
The art of spiritual companioning whether in conversation and/or in ceremony is to provide you with the opportunity to empty your cup, get to the heart of the matter, be reflective in a safe held trusting interaction, integrate with awareness virtues & strengths, and always invite the next most courageous step.

"Lisa has such a powerful presence and her mentoring is no exception. I felt very held, seen and heard and always came away with grounded and productive steps to implement, on top of motivation for deeper self enquiry.
What I appreciated the most is Lisa's ability to ask the questions that helped my mind come around to see my own cognitive dissonance.
This helped me see patterns that I still keep an eye out for now.
Lisa has a gift for holding space, creating deep enquiry, initiating change and being soulful throughout. I highly recommend Lisa.”
