Lara Houston, lives in the North of England and is the founder of the International Tarot Foundation and the Tarot Readers Development and Study group on Facebook.
She describes herself as a self taught, intuitive Tarot reader who was keen to develop her art by giving hundreds of free readings in exchange for feedback and journaling.
Lara applied this knowledge along with her previous teaching experience to write Tarot courses that teach the student how to learn with confidence and find their own Tarot voice within a truly supporting environment.
Throughout her own Tarot studies, Lara has developed a deep appreciation for the historical and spiritual aspect of the Tarot which she readily admits is hugely due to the influence of Robert Place.
