About Me

I’m Kayla Elizabeth, a tarot reader, educator, and yoga teacher based in Brooklyn, NY. Through my platform, Kayla and the Cards, I offer personal tarot readings, create educational content, and teach workshops throughout New York City. My approach to reading blends modern intuition with a deep appreciation for esoteric symbolism, astrology, and traditional occult practices. I believe the beauty of tarot lies in finding a balance between honoring its rich history and trusting our own personal interpretations.

I’ve been reading tarot for over eight years, and throughout that time, I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my practice at events and gatherings including Sasha Graham’s Spirited Away, New York Solar Faire, Lunar Faire New Jersey, and Moon, Serpent and Bone, among others. I previously served as a resident reader in the Witch Winds Healing Room at Quimby’s Bookstore in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and currently read as part of the talented team at Aum Shanti NYC, a metaphysical shop in Manhattan’s East Village.

Beyond offering readings, I’m passionate about teaching others the art of tarot and exploring its potential as a tool for personal growth, introspection, and self-discovery. I regularly teach Tarot 101 workshops at various events and spaces throughout the city, and host a monthly Tarot Study Group where readers of all experience levels can come together to learn, exchange ideas, and share their insights.

My love for tarot is matched by my love for yoga, which has been a part of my life for the past fifteen years. In 2024, I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training at Daya Yoga Studio in Brooklyn. The following year, I became Daya’s Resident Tarot Reader, where I offer in-person readings, host Tarot & Yoga workshops, and share weekly “Tarot Tuesday” forecasts with the Daya community on Instagram.

Whether you’re coming to tarot for guidance, curiosity, or a deeper understanding of yourself, my hope is that you leave a reading with me feeling empowered, inspired, and with a clear path forward. And who knows? You might even discover a little more magick along the way!

✨ I’m a Cancer sun, Virgo moon, and Gemini rising 

🌙 My favorite tarot card is The World

✨ My favorite crystal is carnelian, with green aventurine being a close second 

🌙 My headphones are typically blasting either doom metal, nu metal, 80s goth, or 60s/70s classic rock

✨ I have a very adorable but rather aloof Russian Blue rescue cat named Riley

🌙 I’m a big horror buff. You can usually find me reading Stephen King or Shirley Jackson in my spare time, or watching a slow-burn gothic horror flick

✨ My favorite color is purple but it’s rare you will see me wearing any color other than black 

🌙 Reality TV is my guilty pleasure. I once visited all of the bars and restaurants on Vanderpump Rules and have subjected myself to watching every season of Love is Blind

✨I’m originally from a very small town in upstate New York, but I’ve lived in NYC for over ten years and consider it home
