Hearthwise News & Notes: September 2026
Published 22 days agoΒ β’Β 3 min read
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!
Keep reading for highlights from the past few months and what's coming next!
Stop by my table outside the best aromatherapy shop in Philly this Saturday, amidst the autumnal revelry at South Street's Fall Fest! We'll be soaking up the Full Moon in Aries energy, so get reading for the cards to help reveal where you should be π¦ releasing your inner Kracken π¦ !

This coming New Moon is in Libra, we'll be reflecting on how we show up in our relationships... with others *and* ourselves.
β
βοΈ Which relationships let us be our full selves, and which require us to shrink or perform? β βοΈ Where can we be more willing to see other perspectives?

Learn about your body's energetic centers and how to use color and scent to support its flow at this playful, hands-on workshop! We'll explore the seven chakras, their associated colors, and the essential oil blends that uplift and heal us. You'll leave with a unique-to-you color + scent ritual that you can do at home to keep those energetic channels moving!
I love being out and about in the Philly community, but Hearthwise offers so much more, like 1:1 tarot, astrology, & Enneagram readings, energy healing, private party bookings, handmade jewelry & journals, intuitive art bundles, and custom Magickal Life Coaching Packages!
I love to workshops and one-time readings with folks. But where the magick happens is truly in my deeper 1:1 sessions, which are designed to help you become morehearthwise - that is, to develop self-trust, navigate change and uncertainty, make purpose-aligned choices, and stay grounded and growing through creativity and community.
In these sessions, which last 60- to 90-minutes, we will use both 'mystical' tools (such as Enneagram, astrology, and tarot) as well as more 'mundane' ones (like movement, expressive writing and art, and the natural world) to begin to notice 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.
Many of the individuals I work with areβ¦
π₯ craving gentle and empowering care-taking, guidance, or validation;
π₯ seeking help unpacking their patterns, triggers, and stress responses;
π₯ feeling stuck, burnt out, or uninspired by their status quo;
π₯ contemplating or actively navigating a transition, like a new relationship, the birth of a child, a relocation or new job, or an aging parent;
π₯ 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. β

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...
