Getting Personal: Know Thyself 

​

Dr Lila Moore is a UK certified Life Coach and  occasionally offers self-development including divination advice to women.  As a young woman in her twenties, she was mentored by a wise woman, Gypsy Romani, in London and provided numerous insightful Tarot readings which in turn enabled her to pay for her living expenses and peruse her academic studies and creative work.

She thereby brings a wealth of experience and rich knowledge to her classes, lectures, workshops-masterclass and rites.
