ABOUT TERRA MORGAN
True care isn't about fixing. It's about presence. Deep listening. Compassion. The gift of being genuinely seen and heard.
If you've found your way here, something brought you. Maybe you're questioning. Maybe you've been holding something heavy for so long you've forgotten what it feels like to put it down. Whatever it is for you — you're in the right place.
Some people come to caregiving. I was born into it.
Literally. At six weeks old, on the drive home from a family trip where my grandmother Josephine had died, I was passed from relative to relative — held by people who needed somewhere to put their grief. My mother used to say she thought I'd never learn to sleep. Maybe that's because being a calm presence in the middle of someone else's pain wasn't something I learned. It's something I've always been.
My professional caregiving career began in my 30s, after caring for my own mother at the end of her life. What started as a personal act of love became a calling. I spent 15 years as a nurse aide, moved into life enrichment work in my late 40s, and eventually became a hospital and then hospice chaplain — the last 15 years of my career spent sitting with people in the most tender, unguarded moments of their lives.
“Presence is not something I learned. It’s always been part of who I am.”
As Cheryl Richardson wrote:
“People start to heal the moment they feel heard.”
CREDENTIALS
I hold a B.A. in Liberal Arts from The Evergreen State College, a Master of Divinity from Seattle University, a faith group endorsement through Unity Worldwide Churches, and am a Board Certified Chaplain through the Association of Professional Chaplains — a designation that exists to assure you that the person in the room with you has met rigorous national standards for professional competence and is held to a code of ethics. In other words: I'm not just called to this work. I'm fully credentialed in it.
On tarot — and why I almost didn't tell you
I was given my first tarot deck many years ago, and I'll admit: it scared me to let people know how much I love it. There are a lot of opinions about tarot. I get that.
But here's what I want you to know about how I read. I don’t read to tell you about your future. I read to offer you a mirror — a reflection of this present moment, a different angle on where you are right now. Sometimes seeing yourself from a new perspective is all it takes to notice a door you didn't know was there.
The Rest of Me
I dance twice a week — once through expressive movement that unites body, mind and spirit, and once teaching a joyful tap class at a local community center. I garden. I walk my dogs. And I'm most myself when my whole family is gathered in one place.
I coined the word metarchy thirty-five years ago as an undergraduate — meta meaning beyond, arch meaning rule — a world beyond both patriarchy and matriarchy, where everyone has permission to be nurturing and strong, kind and powerful, soft and bold.
I believe you can be soft and powerful at the same time.
Whatever brought you here, there's a place for you.
Whether you're drawn to a tarot reading, spiritual counseling, or simply want to learn the cards yourself — this is a space that meets you where you are. No labels required. No prior experience necessary. Just you, showing up.This is sacred work — and you don't have to know exactly what you're looking for yet. That's what the first conversation is for.
