Do you need guidance around an issue in your life right now?

Divination is a time-tested tool for reframing situations and finding answers to pressing questions. You may be familiar with Tarot cards or something similar. These tools combine symbolic language and synchronicity to tap a different, deeper type of discernment.

The Story Oracle emerged from my years consulting and sharing stories with individuals and groups. I’ve combined a simple divination process with my knowledge of stories to create the Story Oracle, as a means of circumventing the habitual thought patterns and tapping into a different form of wisdom. 

This process has helped people with a wide range of questions and dilemmas, including relationships, lifestyle choices, self-acceptance, creativity,  vocation, and life purpose.

You don’t need to know anything special about mythology or stories or how these things work, to have a useful experience.

Like other divination tools, a Story Oracle reading begins with a question or an area of concern. Your 60-minute reading will take place on zoom and will be recorded for you. We’ll use this unique card deck to find the story that’s meant for you and explore it together to find the insight, guidance, and inspiration that you need. 

Additional hourly sessions are available if you want my assistance in implementing what you learn from your reading.

People tell me that reflection on the story they heard continued to yield fresh insights for weeks, months, or even longer, and helped them make desired changes in their lives.

Please note: A Story Oracle reading is not psychotherapy or counseling and is not a replacement for professional, individualized medical care or attention by a qualified psychiatrist or psychotherapist. 

“The turnarounds produced by this process are really remarkable. I don’t know how you do it. The insights have become permanent touchstones of meaning in my life.” 

Diana G, San Diego, CA

“The process clarified a fresh context in which to see my current personal struggles, provided valuable imagery to use in my soul-work, and a new way forward. Whatever your stage of life, struggles and questions, I highly recommend that you book an hour of time with Catherine without delay.”  

Phillip R, Carmel-by-the Sea, CA

“I went to Dr. Catherine Svehla looking for answers on how to shift my mindset to uplevel my counselling business. I was feeling stuck and overburdened by where to start. Meeting with Catherine was both calming and inspiring. She shared a captivating story that took me on an inward journey, and helped me to learn about my blocks and how to shift my mindset, all without ‘telling me what to do.’

The very next day I was able to set clear and solid boundaries in my business – guilt free!! Each time I listen to the recording that Catherine sent me, I get more support and clearer in the changes I am making. Thank you Dr. Svehla.”

Tammy Skomorowki, Canadian Certified Counsellor, Prince George, BC
