Hummingbird Tarot strives to help you improve the quality of your life by tapping into your intuition. The role of such a life coach is supportive.
Disclosure of Limitations
A tarot reading should never be used in place of professional counseling. Your reading cannot offer legal, medical, business, or financial advice nor does any portion of your reading from Hummingbird Tarot purport to do so. You should not rely on a tarot reading to make any decision that would affect your legal, financial, or medical condition. If your inquiry involves the law, finance, or medicine, then you should seek the advice of a licensed or qualified legal, financial, or medical professional.
