Hearthwise Happenings: πŸ‘» Candlelit Tarot, 🌈 Color Magick, + 🍻 Pop-Up @ Jerry's NoLibs!


Happy October, Reader!

It's been an exhausting time to be a person lately, and no amount of pumpkin spice will change that. Yet it's still true that change will only ever come when we've got the energy, stability, and self-trust to create that change (even if it's just, for now, within ourselves or our families or our neighborhoods).

Cultivating such inner strength while still centering joy is an act of resistance, and it's the primary goal of Hearthwise Healing.

Hearthwise sessions are grounded in my 20 years of professional experience in the fields of education & mental health. I blend the ✨mystical✨(like tarot & astrology!) and the 🌎 mundane 🌎 (like daily rituals & crafting!) to help you stay grounded, hopeful, and resilient.

Coming Home to Your Hearthwisdom

work with Stacey 1:1 to deepen your relationship with yourself

I’m an award-winning educator who spent 20 years in Philly high school and university classrooms. I taught literature, writing, and education courses, always with a fierce focus on joy, community, intentionality, and student agency. I designed and led innovative coaching and mentoring programs, most recently one centered in bridging the gap between effective practice and educator mental health.

Through Hearthwise Healing, I bring those well-honed skills to a more intimate, soul-centered kind of work, supporting people who are:

  • πŸ”₯ seeking help unpacking their patterns, triggers, and stress responses;
  • πŸ”₯ feeling stuck, burnt out, or uninspired by their status quo;
  • πŸ”₯ contemplating or actively navigating a transition, like a new relationship, the birth of a child, a relocation or new job, or an aging parent;
  • πŸ”₯ or are simply interested in building a healthier relationship with themselves, their ancestors and spirit guides, their creativity and self-belief, their intuition, and/or their communities.
Let me help you begin to notice your life's patterns, name what matters, and experiment with new responses and strategies so you can begin to feel more at home and empowered in your body, your circles, and your spaces.

Hi, Reader! We've had a few blessedly temperate days in Philly this week... the perfect backdrop to the autumn equinox and beginning of Libra season. Since my last dispatch, Hearthwise Healing has rooted, blossomed, and even begun bearing some magickal fruit, like a half years' worth of monthly Free New Moon tarot readings, a revitalized Substack where I share longer-form personal essays on my own healing journey, and tabling at fairs, markets, and private parties across the city!
