LATINX TAROT VISIONING
CHANCLETAZO FOR YOUR SOUL:
A LATINX MAJOR ARCANA DECK
As part of my Artist Residency at Aster(ix), I developed a Latinx Major Arcana set, which was printed in their Tarot Issue and is now available to purchase via Amazon.com, Bookshop.org, and Blue Sketch Press.) You can see the digital versions here or get a physical deck! Sold separately.
mujer que pregunta es mujer que sabe
What do you need right now in order to do your best work? The saying “Mujer que pregunta es mujer que sabe” reminds us that “a woman who asks is a woman who knows”—the answers are already inside you. Our sessions are an intentional space for you to clarify those answers, to delve into your goals, questions, blocks, and dreams, and bring yourself into deeper alignment. I want to uplift artists, activists, educators, or cultural workers, at any point in their career, especially BIPOC women, femmes, & gender nonconforming folks fighting for justice. I want us, and our fiercest allies, to go out there and thrive.
about me
Since 2003, I’ve worked closely with artists, educators, and cultural workers at the intersection of art and activism. Over that time, I’ve spent countless hours helping folks shape their ideas, clarify their proposals, and make sure their projects align with the goals of their practice. I’ve been called a ‘project doula’ for this generative labor—which I love—and my Tarot practice and Process Doula coaching work grew out of this kind of consulting, as another powerful portal to clarity, purpose, and action.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
Offered in English, Español & Português
TAROT SESSION
A one-hour Tarot session on Zoom to get a baseline for where you are at this moment. You’ll come prepared with a question to ask and we’ll work to get clarity on how to best move forward with your vision. If you’re not interested in Tarot, reach out to me as a Process Doula instead.
PROCESS DOULA
If you’re stuck in your process, we can do either a one-time session or—if you want a longer commitment—a series of 6 to 12 sessions to keep you accountable, grounded, and inspired. We can do this around a specific project, a life transition, or anything you want to work on. My clients are mostly BIPOC artists and academics tackling challenging projects, aware that they need to bring their whole selves to their work. Sessions are on Zoom, so you can be anywhere.
What People Are Saying
“She is a weaver. Her fingers work dexterously as extensions of her heart. Who could count the threads she has drawn together? The souls changed by her voice, her wisdom, her care? The dreams made clearer, the voices made bolder? The words written, the truths heard? It is because of her that we are made, that we make ourselves. She opens the gates and repairs our wings. She shows us the way to the water and blows wind in our sails. She conspires with magic and is guided by mystery. Her belief in me gave me the faith to believe.”

“Are you confused? Are you like wait...what am I doing? and where am I going with my craft? How do I become whole with my art? BING BING BING! Working with Marlène as a doula is what you want to do! She welcomes you in your most vulnerable state and helps you navigate what internal restrictions you have created for yourself that don't allow you to reach your highest, most authentic self. It's not just about the art—it's about who makes the art. I highly recommend Marlène: as I know myself, you will be in a safe, loving space to work on your needs. (Also....Marlène is super funny.)”
