Committing to our own soul growth
People frequently seek out tarot readers for one-time readings to provide what they hope are answers about the future. I don’t read the tarot to forecast the future, but rather to help you process whatever issues you are confronting in your life. I feel the problems people experience are likely to be symptoms of something that cannot be addressed by a single reading or without the hard work of self-reflection. I try to avoid making predictions. I am here to assist you in your development. My readings are an inquiry in which you co-create and interpret in order to arrive at solutions that work for you.
I provide you the opportunity to tackle the causes of your worries through listening, using the tarot as a guide and offering my years of experience to support you to find solutions that work for you – that are appropriate to you and the place you find yourself at the time.
Using the Tarot for transformation
The tarot, along with other processes I use, can be a powerful tool for transformation.
If you have a group, a circle of friends, a team building event, or are wanting to explore the tarot and your own soul growth and/or stimulate organisational growth, contact me. I will create a process that will suit your needs and your pocket. Let’s have some fun while learning and growing.
Journaling for joy
Journaling is my go-to tool for soul growth and writing, and I’d like to help you discover the incredible value it could add to your life.
Allow me to create short (half-day to two-day) retreats to help you refresh and reflect using journaling as the main tool for your internal deliberations and external transformation, whether you’re a team in an organisation or a group of friends, a circle of like-minded souls, or a company looking for a creative outlet for your team (and yes, it is transformative).

Testimonials
“The Selful Soul has been a constant in my life since Gladys began her YouTube channel and has become part of my regular self-care routine. Every time I watch a reading, I am in awe of how much clarity it brings me. In fact, there have been many occasions when it felt like a reading was specifically made for me. Gladys is always so gentle and loving in her readings that even when harsh truths are revealed, it never feels like a bad thing. One of my favourite quotes of hers is, ‘There is no punishment in spirituality, only lessons.’ Another thing that I find really special about the way that Gladys reads tarot is that she doesn’t take herself too seriously. This has helped me see the readings as something fun and enjoyable. It doesn’t have the chore-like nature that self-care practices can sometimes have. Even when I was very depleted and had little capacity for the other practices that keep me grounded, Selful Soul remained constant. The Selful Soul and Gladys remind me just how much fun I can have with my spirituality and my self-care work. I am always grateful that I have such guidance in my life.” Zoe
“Thank you for the gift of the Selful Soul and your beautiful card readings. I remember you introducing me to the Tarot, way before we had Instagram and YouTube. I appreciate the love and care that you put into your readings; from the candles, flowers, the music and the little totems. It’s all very special. When I watch and listen to your readings, it feels like it’s specially for me (although I know it’s for a wider group). I feel like I can bring my whole self because you always remind us that ‘the spiritual is political.’ Your readings are deeply intuitive and so spot on. Your readings encourage me to look at myself with love and compassion and to find hope! You’re a voice of reason and I actually listen! Recently, I took your advice, not to rush things and to take things at a steady pace, and it paid off! I look to the Selful Soul platform for guidance and I always find the little nudge I need to go within. I am encouraged to look at myself without judgment! Thank you, Gladys and the Selful Soul for your offering of love and guidance!” Michelle
“More than a review, this is peer pressure to get Gladys to organize more writing and vision boarding retreats. Thank you for the one you held with all of us at the beginning of 2021 Glad. The vision board still hangs on my wall. Gladys begins her processes with an invitation for one to go into their own Essence. So right at the beginning of the session, you take a moment to invite anything and anyone you need to journey with you through the upcoming sacred session. A ritual I have since adopted in my coaching and counselling practices. The sessions are then made even richer by Gladys’ grounding presence, meaningful writing prompts and tarot readings. Following that vision boarding retreat, I have since engaged with Gladys through coaching, writing reviews and generally working to bring healing to the world. Wherever Gladys shines her light through her work, I want to be there. You should too. Starting with the Selful Soul diary and personal journal. And also just following Selful Soul on all social media. Thank you for your light Glad.” Rethabile
