Hi y’all!! It’s been awhile and things are shifting around here, so let me reintroduce myself. 🗝️🧙‍♀️

My name is Melissa, the owner of Empress of the Night’s Light LLC, and I help people come home to themselves through deep reflection, radical acceptance, and self-healing. I am a tarot reader, astrologer, breathworker, seeker, and alchemist who helps people find new direction along their healing journeys. We all have moments where we feel lost or confused along our life path, and I’m here to help others find their way again. We work together to find answers on next steps depending on what the cards tell us, as well as how to best navigate our stars using our natal chart alongside the current transits happening in the sky. Seeing these things more clearly, we breathe together and work through any stored energy that may be present in our bodies and slowly release it together. All of this helps us reconnect with the spark, the light inside of us, that can be dimmed as we navigate our world. I also create fun merch, including shirts, mugs, totes, and more just for funsies.

While I do mainly do readings for clients, I also serve as a teacher and guide for those who are eager to learn. I have taught tarot off and on online since 2021, and have recently began to teach bits of astrology through the lens of self-healing and inner work via my online retreats. I love to help students connect the dots for themselves and find deeper understanding within themselves. One of my greatest joys is watching the light come on in someone’s eyes throughout this process. I also help create inner work prompts and tarot spreads for those who are seeking a personal deep dive inward. Another option for clients is to join my Living by the Night’s Light program, which includes monthly guidance videos focused on the astrological significance of the new and full moon phases, as well as monthly access to breathwork/meditation sessions and inner work prompts aligned with these topics, too.

I have an academic background in mental health as well as higher education, and I use these learnings to help me help others. Alongside my educational experiences, I have several personal experiences that help me help others as well, including my own experiences with addiction and recovery, CPTSD recovery, living with anxiety and functional depression, and growing up with a mentally ill mother. I’ve been reading tarot off and on for about 25 years, astrology for just over 20 years. Breathwork is a new tool I acquired in 2021, but I love how helpful it is for the healing journey. I’ve been operating my business since January of 2021, and have enjoyed being a helper. I feel as if it is my mission on this earth to help others.

I’d love to connect with you if you have any questions about anything I do. All of my offerings and 🔗 to other spaces can be found at

Thank you all so much for your time and energy. I’ll be here sending so much love, holding space, and shining the light out for anyone who needs a little help finding their way home to themselves. 🫶
