Hello. My name is Fiona Tankard and my passion is helping people fulfil their potential. I hope I can help you fulfil yours too.
I live in Tuscany, Italy and I'm a trainer, writer and businesswoman. I’ve read Tarot cards for over 25 years, first for myself, then for friends. I started reading professionally at the start of 2010. I get many repeat clients from all over the world and a lot of pretty nice testimonials too! I'm an endorsed reader for TABI- the Tarot Association of the British Isles.
There is nothing to be afraid of about Tarot, cards, they are a very valuable and insightful tool for self development. I don't use them for 'fortune telling'.
To give you a bit of background about me: I left the UK with my husband and pets in 1994 after a career as head of a teacher training organisation. We moved to Italy having fallen in love with a ruined farmhouse, and this was before the days of 'A Place in the Sun' and all those other reality shows about moving abroad!
Our farmhouse was in Umbria and we quickly had to master many skills that I must admit are dormant now - like plumbing, plastering, bricklaying and carpentry! In 2001, following a series of frankly mind-blowing events (we are so guided you know!) I gave up teaching to become the creator and editor of the UK's first glossy magazine about Italy, a job I did for five years.
By 2005 our house had been fully and professionally restored, so of course I wanted to sell it and move on to a new challenge, although my poor husband was a bit baffled by this. I found a property on the Internet and in a flash thought: 'I have to have that house'. It was in a little-known region of Tuscany and one of the things I did to get my 'dream' house, which didn't really seem possible at the time, was to create a vision board and focus on pictures of it every morning as soon as I got up. We moved there in April 2006.
I left the magazine and began work as a freelance writer, ghostwriter and internet marketer, all of which I still do today. I am also passionate about animals and have three dogs (you can see Gassie my Internet rescue dog with me in the photo on the left), several cats and a two handicapped pigeons. I have a website www.petsinitaly.com dedicated to helping find homes for some of Italy's many abandoned animals.
I love combining my love of Tarot with all the skills I learned over 20 years as a professional trainer working with thousands of people from every walk of life. My Tarot reading method is designed for anyone who wants to get unblocked and get their mojo back.
