My journey has taken me on a deeply spiritual path and I might add, not one I had envisioned but, isn't that always the way. There is always a higher plan afoot.

I have worked in the media having my own columns as an expert in my field.

My book, 'An Angel Walked Beside Me' was published by Harper Collins and contains stories about my own personal psychic experiences and those of the individuals I met, but mainly this is about experiences and stories about and from children.

Gran and the Pirate Adventure was one I wrote many years ago for my Grand children where i engage my imagination to incorporate them into an adventure they go on with their Gran.

And, I am the author of my the Joan Charles Tarot Deck. A dream I had for a very long time.

My work has allowed me to work with groups and individuals all over the globe as well as the corporate world where I delivered Intuitive Coaching and Leadership.

One of my greatest passions lies in the Mysteries of the Tarot and the many deep secrets it has to offer.

I have worked for over three decades with the Tarot, exploring, expanding and developing this amazing divination tool which is endless in its possibilities.

Having taught the tarot to many groups and individuals I felt it was time to extend my courses to a wider audience for you to share with me the depth of symbolism and knowledge that it holds.
