MENTOR, PRACTITIONER, AUTHOR

Tam Dillon helps practitioners bridge the gap between the sacredness of their calling and the practicalities of everyday life.

With more than 25 years in practice, Tam understands this path from the inside. She’s been the practitioner who felt gifted but unsteady, stretched by the emotional and energetic load of the work, unsure how to hold her role while still holding herself.

Her mentoring grew from those years — the initiations without instruction, the lessons learned the long way, the refining of a craft without elders or clear guidance. She now supports practitioners across three pillars — Self, Craft and Practice — helping them find the steadiness, clarity and structure she once had to build alone.

Her focus is grounded self-development and practical support, not performance or persona. Tam is the author of The Art of Tarot (Peacock & Owl Publishing, 2025) and is updating her memoir Walking with the Fool. Her writing and mentoring carry the same intention: to offer honest guidance and steady support so you can stay anchored in the work without losing yourself.

READY TO STOP WALKING THIS PATH ALONE?

I know what it’s like to feel the heavy weight of a calling and to have to figure things out on your own.

FROM READER TO TRUSTED MENTOR

TAM’S FULL STORY

Tam Dillon is a seasoned self-development mentor, yoga teacher, professional reader and author whose path began in her teens through a deep fascination with ancient traditions and divination systems. What started with Tarot evolved into a lifelong calling — one that has carried her through more than two decades of full-time practice.

Her early work focused on intuitive readings and energy-based support, recognised for its grounded, clear approach to spiritual tools. Seeking greater depth, she left South Africa for Vietnam and eventually settled in Hanoi, where she founded a dedicated Tarot café in the Old Quarter — a quiet space for seekers from every background.

In 2019, Tam retired from public readings, completed formal mindfulness training and shifted into teaching. That same year she published The Art of Tarot, later revised in 2021 and again in 2025 through Peacock & Owl Publishing. Her writing reflects her evolved approach to Tarot as a tool for self-awareness, ethical clarity and grounded practice.

Her memoir, Walking with the Fool, first published in 2017 and refined through 2022, traces her development as a practitioner – from receiving her gifts and navigating early initiations, to facing burnout and rebuilding her practice with integrity. It is currently undergoing a full revision.

Tam’s continuing studies include counselling skills, applied psychology, happiness coaching and yoga. After relocating to the United States to join her husband – whom she met in Hanoi – she completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training and began developing The Yogic Tarot, a system that bridges yogic philosophy with the archetypes of Tarot.

Today she works exclusively with healers, intuitives and space-holders, supporting them across the three pillars of an integrated practice: Self, Craft and Practice. This is not surface-level spirituality. It is the real work of walking with integrity – and Tam’s role is to guide those ready to live it.
