About Me
I come from 2 little beautiful islands in the Southern Hemisphere “Aotearoa” mostly known as New Zealand. I have 3 children, I am of Maori descent, with a dash of English and Norwegian ancestry.
I have been studying the lenormand for nearly 3 years now, and it is a daily part of my life. I was introduced to the lenormand when Sylvie came opened a virtual workshop on Aeclectic tarot forum. I was instantly taken with her method, and I knew that I wanted to persue it more. So I invited Sylvie to New Zealand in November 2008 the first Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle workshop in my home town of Hamilton. Sylvie then decided to come back again in 2010 to teach the new series of workshops. Beginners and Advanced.
Learning the lenormand and meeting Sylvie has opened up doors for me in many ways. I am now a professional lenormand reader, in which I read at a local metaphysical shop on a weekly basis, monthly fairs, email and a registered reader for Magenta.
I will eventually be Sylvie Steinbach’s first certified teacher in the Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle.
My other interests are healing, mediumship and color therapies of various kinds. I have had some interesting experiences in these fields.
My web name I use is Phoenix Rising, as eventually it symbolises to me, the resurgence of the feminine energy and all truth to be known.

Hello Phoenix,
I just read that there are workshops in Australia! I was wondering if you could send me some details. I live in Adelaide.
Ive just started reading all about Lenormand on the internet. I love tarot but this deck really fascinates me and id like to continue learning about it.
Kia Kaha,

Hi Joanna,
The next series will be next year in Australia, at this stage we are not quite sure where, the last series was hosted in Melbourne at the end of March this year. It depends on who coordinates and hosts these events, that will determine where.
