About 8 months ago while visiting Sydney, I happened across this shop and the lovely Jo. I asked for a mini card reading having no idea on the impact it would have! I pulled out the Creativity card. Having absolutely no idea of the turmoil in my life at that time, she said (in short) that I would stand strong and I would use my creative talents to do something that would fulfill me in…

Thanks for doing reading today , i feel more secure and growing up better because of your guidance . Pretty proud of achievement that i got a better result after a year. Thanks a lot joe

We picked out the perfect affirmation that suited us both to a tee and then had a meaningful conversation with us and i left feeling happy and excited. I felt really bad that this lovely lady have us her time for free and i couldn’t really afford to buy anything big. Can’t wait to visit her stall again…

“Just joined a friend of mine who wanted to ask few question, felt like trying aura reading + card myself. Get a card, with personal message which answered the question I had but didn’t wanted to ask. Aura reading told me something I’ve already knew, and clarified few things in my life. After my friend asked her questions. I felt like having “divine healing”. Even so it was already out of working hours Jo agreed…

“This was my first ever reading and the information on me that you predicted is spot on and you had no prior knowledge. Why I saw your store and how I got there I have no idea, it was a totally random event, and I enjoyed the experience. I am not a person who frequents stores like yours, and to be honest I have not been in one like this since the early seventies, but…

“I can never thank Jo enough for the immeasurable help she’s given me over the last few years to help me heal and become more of myself.   When I first happened upon Jo and Awakening Lotus, I was feeling really alone, unsupported, unsafe and definitely felt without a soft place to fall.   I will always remember how immediately I felt in the best possible hands with Jo;  I felt that she saw me,…
