In 1997, Jennifer Halls set aside a 10-year museum curatorial career for her part-time passion, intuition.  Since then, she has done thousands of sessions, helping hundreds of clients find and trust their internal guidance. It is something she's had glimpses of her whole life.

As a little girl, Jennifer knew things - where pets had gone hiding, what family members wanted, even when someone far away was sick or had died. She was born in Ohio, but lived in five states by the time she was 15 because of her father's job. Her traveling life still resembles that of a gypsy -- a playful theme that seems to weave through her life. She had a childhood desire to be a gypsy, which made for many magical Halloweens. (As an adult, she learned she was born on Gypsy Lane.) And she knew she wanted cards.

"at 5 I asked for a real fortune-telling deck.  I found out later that it mystified my family how I even knew about such things, but my grandmother bought one. I vividly remember sitting on the floor with it thinking "why can't I remember how this works. "I knew that I used to know how and it felt so frustrating. It's interesting what we know by 5."

Jennifer thought it was normal to "know things." It wasn't something she was taught or that was encouraged; she just thought that's how it was for everyone. However, when she grew older and discovered it wasn't that way, she began to doubt herself. Oddly enough, it was cards that helped her trust intuition again.

"I was 21 and had received a full scholarship to study art in Europe when a woman in Italy asked to read my cards. I said "sure". I didn't really believe in anything like that anymore, but I didn't want to be rude. She told me many things that she couldn't have known and predicted a few things that I had no control over; all came to pass. But it was the last thing she said that struck a chord: "I don't know why I felt I should read these for you. I am hearing that you know how to read the cards." I couldn't believe it."

Over the next six months two other people asked to read her cards and both ended by saying the same thing. That's when she finally got her own tarot deck and found she did know how to "read" the cards. Yes, at first she told fortunes, but not for long. She was fortunate to have many skilled teachers and mentors who guided her to embrace her abilities. One of her gifts now is teaching how to use the tarot as a tool to open intuition. 
 

Today, Jennifer lives in South Carolina with her husband Michael Gordon, a journalist, and their big dog, Louise. They share a love of movies, books, and the sound of a Blues guitar. Their small house is highlighted by two porches, bright wall colors and an unfortunate front lawn.
