Hi, I’m Axis. For 30 years I helped upper management, CEOs, innovators and disrupters with the digital strategy of their apps and sites. In each of those 30 years, I became more and more aware that the actual help they would have needed to achieve the success they wanted, was to be shown how to be more authentic, aware and present as a person in their own life. In my role as Strategic UX/UI consultant, I couldn’t just tell them that. I created Atelier Carousel so that now I can consult the person, not the brand.

Another thing I noticed in those 30 years is that not everything that happened in those projects can be explained with scientific material reductionism of what is perceivable with the senses and intellect alone. When I stumbled across Tarot cards, I first thought “What kind of BS is that?” And then I somehow ended up trying it anyway, and I realized “Holy slack, this must be a glitch” . I still think it is a glitch. We were not supposed to notice that you can read out a “larger reality system” through paper cards. But here we are.

If something sticks for more than 3000 years, maybe there is something to it, even if science can’t prove yet what it is. I don’t care what goals other Tarot Readers have. I don’t predict the future, I wake people up. I bring back knowhow through the cards, and use it as part of “clarity consulting” to make people “wake up” to their true, authentic self, and then they can change their future and their business to whatever they want. Instead of it unrolling as if it was “destiny” and then “predicting” what happens if I continue to stay stuck.

One day someone will write the first of a thousand papers on this stuff. In the meantime, professional Tarot Consultants take a more pragmatic approach. They use this “whateverthatis” to help people tackle tricky issues right now, instead of waiting for scientific approval. Radiation didn’t just “appear” because we discovered the geiger counter. Those energy systems are there, if we want to or not, and intuitive readers use them to help people. To save a career or a marriage, to quit a habit, to make sense of a disturbing family system, to cope with a major life event, or to discover a life purpose. People use my Tarot Consultation as a daily helper, a supplement to a therapeutic practice, or a life “sanity check”.

We don’t know why it works, but it seems irrational to not simply use all resources we have available to make life in this reality more bearable. The alternative is pursuing the wrong goals, sticking with the wrong people, making the wrong choices, and with this, missing our life purpose and never achieving that business success you were thinking you should be having. Actually, the “woo-woo” thing is “not” to get a Tarot Consultation. Often, a Consultation that cost less than a massage ends up being so powerful, it will accompany a client for years and literally change their lives. (see my client reviews for some examples)

My studio is called “Atelier Carousel”, because life is a carousel.
