ABOUT
Esther Tishman
Esty knows burnout, inspiration, life transitions. She's walked the walk, and is ready to walk alongside you.
My work as a therapist and spiritual counselor grows out of twenty-five years as a university educator, where I designed programs to support the holistic development of my students.
Over more than two decades I've deepened my own practice in mindfulness and spiritual care. As an interfaith hospital chaplain I helped patients, families, and staff navigate unthinkable stress — working the COVID and intensive care units at the height of the pandemic. Along with my University credentials and my spiritual care background, I hold a Masters in clinical mental health counseling and am a certified mindfulness instructor. I've been reading Tarot since 1989 and coaching practitioners in the archetypes since 2016. My 200-hour Mindful Tarot Certificate Program is now training its third cohort of practitioners - and I'm working on my second Tarot book for Llewellyn Worldwide Publishing, Tarot Bones, Tarot Flesh.
I hold retreats, classes and see clients in my Orange Door Studio in Eugene, Oregon - and am senior teacher at Buddha Eye Zen Community Temple, also in Eugene. Otherwise, you'll likely find me on the Oregon Coast or in the Willamette Valley with my husband and our two dogs.
