A circle can conjure thoughts of casting a safe and protective boundary, a womb space, a holding environment. A supportive container to wade through feelings, safely explore issues, step into your personal power, and ultimately encourage deep healing.
The medicine of tarot and her archetypes can serve as a grounding linchpin in a healing exploration, providing deep nourishment to help us feel safer in navigating thoughts and feelings.
Tarot is a reflection of humanity’s collective psyche, so readings can reveal a spectrum of universal experiences, such as trauma, fear, sorrow, love, and joy. It is a visual medium that engages our imagination, a catalyzing instrument that can serve to illuminate our patterns and reaffirm our intuition.
Therapeutic tarot sessions offer you the chance to embark on a compassionate exploration of ego, to lift the veil, get messy, release blocks, and align yourself with what best serves you.
My offerings draw from the clarity of the tarot to assist you in nurturing your own self-knowledge and expand in your power - a power that can sometimes arise from lovingly moving through our shadow parts. My approach is collaborative and centered in having a dialogue with you about the themes of the cards so as to encourage new perspectives and evoke questions. Here, tarot is applied as a projective therapeutic tool to promote your self-awareness, to connect you to your personal magic, and to help you discover meaning in your story.
Hi there! My name is Brittney von Erck and I am the owner and tarot reader behind Sacred Circle Healing.
I am a clinical social worker, a mother, and a professional tarot reader. My path with the tarot and ritual began during my adolescence - experimenting with a gifted deck, frequently exploring the metaphysical and occult sections of my local bookstore, and casting tenderhearted spells from my childhood bedroom. My tarot journey gradually evolved during my first postpartum period, which culminated with my first Saturn Return, giving way to a self-care practice that entailed a deeper study of the themes, symbols, and interpretations of the tarot. Developing that ritual practice with the tarot has ultimately served as an anchor for accessing my intuition and affirming my experiences of being human.
I hold that the tarot is a therapeutic tool that can inspire the unconscious spaces of our minds, bringing forth content for our conscious awareness to explore, process, understand, and integrate.
It is my intention to empower you to feel into your magic, explore your inner waters, and to connect to your personal narrative, so that transformative insight can transpire.
My readings are grounded in an intersectional feminist perspective and centered in the innate wisdom you hold. I consider individual and collective healing to be political, and that when you heal, you move the world to heal.
I value empathy, emotional attunement, and compassion. My foundation as a social worker has deepened my belief in the importance of each person's right to experience their own power, and through the magic of tarot, I will help to guide you in connecting with that healing power.

Therapeutic tarot offerings can be received through an emailed audio recording or by booking an event. Individual offerings are available on a sliding fee scale, as I believe that tarot should be accessible and affordable to all.
I also encourage you to explore my Code of Ethics prior to booking a session or event.
Your session will occur in the format of receiving an image of your spread and an audio file, both of which are sent directly to your email. When the time feels right for you to heed this invitation, find a quiet space, light a candle, and immerse yourself in the imagery of the cards and the sound of my voice. Dive deep with me as I guide you through a gentle body scan meditation, and walk you through your therapeutic tarot offering in this held space. We will travel through the potent energies of each card, unearthing their themes and the stories that they tell. I will also offer up corresponding self-care rituals and therapeutic journal prompts or reflections that I feel could perhaps resonate or be supportive to you.
Therapeutic tarot sessions received through this mode are $50-$70 and are sent to your email via a download link within 5 business days.
