Tender

Tenderness is a portal - an act of openness to gentleness. Tenderness is a sensitive sensation felt after being poked at —in this case, by tattoo needles. Being tender is a softening, allowing vulnerability to wash in. To tender is a sovereign decision to nurture oneself. Tending is an inclination, a pattern we lean into.

All of these are acts of tending to yourself. These are also acts of me tending to you spiritually, energetically, physically.

  • The Cosmic Blueprint reading is your basic natal chart reading. This is a snapshot of the sky the very moment you were born. In this reading you will know and understand the planets and luminaries and how they are affecting you, your patterns and in which areas in your life. This is not predictive, I will not read your future--because you create your future. If anything, this will help you give yourself more compassion, more space, more understanding. We will highlight your natural tendencies, understand why and how you react to certain things, the things you are supposed to learn in this lifetime. It is important to understand your birth chart to be able to TRANSCEND it.

    We can do in person or online delineations, both come with a pdf of what we discover during the session.

  • This reading is for those who have already experienced the basic Cosmic Blueprint reading. This is a continuation—the unfolding of the story. It entails looking at the astrological energies of the current moment, and how it affects you and your cosmic blueprint. I highly recommend this if there is a feeling of something powerful unfolding in your life..or when you feel the urge to do something big. I can assist in you determining when and where the right thing for that is. 

  • This is your astrological birthday reading. A great gift of knowledge to yourself or to someone dear to you.

    This is a reading that captures the sun returning to its very position when you were born. In this reading we will explore the themes, interests and challenges as you step into a new year of your life. We will discuss the important transits impacting your year, and with the help from tarot and oracle decks, we will be seeking guidance about how to navigate the path ahead.

    This is yet another dense reading, but full of support and guidance. 

  • A safe space for your heart, mind, soul. I'd like to think of my readings as gentle but also honest, accepting and also empowering. I do not predict the future, I help you see the tools you already have within you and what the situation brings, so that you take steps towards creating your own future. As an astrologer, I present these tarot readings in conjunction with astrological transits that could be useful for you and your situation. I want us to gather all the help that we can, from the intuitive downloads to the precise astrology of the situation, so that you are fully informed and hopefully, read to take on what life brings your way.

    We may do this in person or virtually. You may also opt just to have a pdf of the reading emailed to you.

  • Reiki is Japanese for "Universal Life Force Energy". It is an energy healing technique using gentle hand movements that help guide a healthy flow of energy. It is a relaxing and heart-opening treatment. We will begin with breathing exercises until you reach a relaxed state. I will then put my palms above your body in a number of positions and sequences, all while you relax on the bed and take in the healing frequencies and aromas of the studio. Reiki sessions could take 45-60 minutes. This can be done in my private studio (located in the South of Metro Manila) or virtually, which I highly recommend—it is equally as effective and you experience it in the comforts of your home.

  • I have been tattooing since 2009. I specialise in watercolor and illustration-style tattoos. Tattoos are healing as much as they are an act of (beautifully) scarring your skin. Our bodies are vessels of our life’s stories. Tattoos are those stories, engraved onto skin.

    These tattoos I make come in conjunction with my practice of reiki healing. Before the tattoo session we will discuss what your intentions are for the tattoo and we will energetically inscribe those onto the tattoo. I will perform a quick reiki session after tattooing you, to initiate your tattoo’s physical healing process, along with the beginning of your intention’s journey.

The Process

The Process *

Intentionality

Clarity of intention is necessary for any of the offerings. What sparked the need to book a session? How are you? How is your life?

A container for tenderness and trust.

I understand—actually I expect— that these sessions be filled with vulnerability. Trust that our sessions are confidential. For tattoos, however, I may ask your consent for photographs to be posted on this site or social media. Of course without your consent I would never post them. All intentions remain confidential.

Collaboration

We co-create with the energies of the universe.

Let us be Tender.
