  • Clarity of Communication– Throughout the working relationship, Sam Starr will engage in direct and personal conversations. The individual can count on Sam Starr to be honest and straightforward in asking questions and making requests. The individual understands that the power of the coaching relationship can only be granted by them, and that they will do this. As such, online coaching and tarot consultations should take place from a private space and with good sound quality. If the individual believes that the coaching is not working as desired, the individual shall communicate this to Sam Starr so that together they can identify an action plan to move forward on this.

  • Honesty and Transparency– Tarot cards contain imagery that need interpretation. Sam Starr has undergone the necessary training to be able to interpret the tarot cards. While doing a tarot consultation she will be completely honest about the interpretation that she sees in the imagery of the cards. While tarot reading is not negative, evil, or bad luck, Sam Starr will not give false hopes in tarot consultation sessions.

 

  • No judgment– Regardless of the journey you are on, when you come to us for coaching, tarot consultations and/or tarot training, we will provide our services to you with compassion, by being respectful of your feelings and emotions and without judgment. Sam Starr always strives to create a safe space for her clients to share their concerns and ask questions freely.
