Laura E. Kirkendale C.Y.T.500,
Tarot Counselor & Yoga Teacher
Laura, helps people realize their most inspired lives through work with energy healing, several modalities and schools of yoga, and the wisdom of the Tarot.
As the creator of the Healing With The Archetypes and the Chakra Intuition System training courses, she discovered the complementary nature of Yoga and Tarot studies by happening upon them in her own education at the same time.
Laura was born in Wales and raised in the heart of England, on the ley lines of energy that pass through the stone circle of Avebury (this same area is also where the majority of the world’s crop circle formations occur).
After moving to the energy vortex centers of Northern Arizona in the American West, Laura completed coursework in anthropology, folklore, & multi-ethnic studies at Northern Arizona University.
She participated in a number of important archeological excavations in both the Four Corners region of Southwestern America, and the Ancient Near East at Ashkelon, Israel, sponsored by Leon Levy and Harvard University.
As Laura advanced her academic studies, she began to realize that the relics they were excavating were often symbolic. The patterns and images found on pottery, jewelry, murals and mosaics often symbolized the exact same archetypal elements of human experience that she was slowly learning to work with in healing modalities that focused on the energetic body , or “subtle body”. Through pranayama , meditation and yoga, there was a physical manifestation of humankind’s relationship with these archetypal forces. Yoga and Tarot addressed and worked with the same archetypal human experiences. Body and Mind both expressed One Human Experience.
After university plus several yoga courses and certifications, Laura founded the Virtual Tarot School & the Flagstaff Yoga Festival, and directed both until 2014.
During these years , she deepened her evolving knowledge of the archetypes through not only yoga and tarot, but also sacred body language trainings, applied and educational kinesiology, hypnotherapy, conscious language training and flower remedy therapies.
