if you're asking this question, you're probably ready. the people who book readings aren't looking for someone to hand them a template — they're looking for permission to trust what they already know. if you've been sensing there's something bigger trying to emerge through your work, that's the readiness.

one thing to know: readings work best when focused on a single project, or — if you're doing a reading on yourself as a person — on the moment you're currently in, with the questions and imaginings you're facing right now. no person is a static archetype. we each contain all archetypes and we all contain multitudes. a reading helps you clarify with precision the energy of your creation or the moment you're in.

both. the reading is a somatic, intuitive process — you're sorting cards with your body, not your head. but what emerges is deeply strategic: your core drive, your natural positioning, who you attract and repel, where your shadow shows up when you dim your light. this isn't personality typing for fun, and unlike tarot or oracle decks, the cards you pull are not random and then interpreted — you actively choose and sort them, which reveals patterns about who you are and which archetypal energies are showing up. i use enneagram, tarot, and plant companions as validators because those are the intuitive languages i speak — they are not additional systems you need to master or embody.

Nothing formal. Come as you are. Some people like to prepare questions about their brand or business, but it's not required. The cards and our conversation will guide us to what needs to be revealed.

Readings are conducted via Zoom or in-person for folks located in the Sebastopol/Santa Rosa area. When you book, you will be given an option to specify your preference.

Yes. You'll receive a recording of your session along with your personalized Archetype cards breakdown, so you can revisit the card you pulled and the insights you discovered whenever you need them.

you'll receive your recording and card breakdown within 48 hours. after the reading, you will be welcomed into an integration email series that helps you metabolize what you discovered in your reading with further journal prompts, meditations, and contemplations — and an invitation into the deeper archetypal strategy development for those who are ready called the fieldwork ⁕

those systems are about understanding yourself. this one is about understanding your function within your creations/business/brand— the specific role your gift plays in the larger ecosystem. your archetype isn't who you are; it's how transformation moves through you. that distinction changes everything about how you build, communicate, and show up in your work.

archetypes are nuanced — most people embody a blend rather than a single pure archetype. if something doesn't land during the reading, we'll explore it together in the session. the goal is clarity that feels true to you, not forcing you into a box. and the integration series that follows your reading gives you space to sit with what emerged — sometimes what surprises you in the moment is the thing that makes the most sense a few days later.

All sales are final. If you need to reschedule your reading, please give at least 48 hours notice and we'll find a new time that works. If you're unsure whether this reading is right for you, feel free to reach out with questions before booking.

Readings are designed for one person at a time—uncovering your individual archetypal blend and how it shows up in your work.

However, I can facilitate readings for partnerships or corporate groups. If you're interested in this, please contact me directly for pricing and details. kate@archetypereadings.com

Traditional brand strategy starts with market research and competitive analysis. This starts with YOU - your actual pattern, your gifts, what's trying to come through naturally. We build your brand FROM your archetype, not from what you think will sell, and then build supportive systems to hold and grow that sustainably.

after your session, you'll receive your recording and card breakdown, and you're welcomed into an integration series — follow-up emails designed to help your reading land and take root. expect guided meditations, journal prompts, case studies from the community, and an initiatory branding exercise to start putting your archetype into practice.

for those who feel ready to go deeper, there are three supported partnership paths forward:

the fieldwork — a guided brand workbook with the exercises i use with my 1:1 clients;

a brand audit where i review your implementation and give detailed feedback;

and intensive 1:1 brand builds for qualifying brands.

these are by application — each step builds on the one before it, and what you need looks different depending on where you are. a pre-launch brand exploring its identity needs different support than one with five years of revenue data ready to refine its positioning. the application helps us figure out together what's actually the right next step for you.

some folks just do the reading, others work with me in a relational capacity to grow their project into archetypal alignment and sustained growth. the right path will reveal itself to you as you go!

Yes — the reading is where every journey begins, but there's a whole ecosystem available depending on where you are and what you need.

For those who want to build it themselves, there's the Fieldwork — a deep dive into your archetype using the same exercises I do with my 1:1 clients, bookended by two calls with me.

For those ready to hand it off entirely, I offer full creative partnership — websites, brand books, copywriting, art direction, email marketing, photoshoots. The whole build, done for you.

Both paths move at your pace. You can explore everything at → the work.
