Meet Gina
Gina Lawrence, PhD
Hi, I’m Gina—writer, professor, yoga practitioner, intuitive cook, and founder of RISE.
My work is rooted in healing, transformation, and radical self-trust.
I blend movement, magic, and mindfulness to help others reconnect with their bodies and their path—through yoga, reiki, tarot, coaching, and more.
I started Rise in 2017 as a sourdough bakery and tarot studio, and like me, it’s evolved. Now, it’s a reflection of everything I’ve learned along the way—from the deserts of New Mexico to the yoga shalas of Mysore.
I’m a Pisces stellium with a PhD in English and a deep love for structure that still allows freedom. My work is gentle but honest, mystical but grounded, rooted in ritual and realness.
I believe healing doesn’t have to be flashy to be profound—it just has to feel true.
Whether I’m guiding someone through breathwork, pulling cards, or holding space for deep clarity, my goal is always the same: to help you come home to yourself.
Testimonials
Voices of Trust and Transformation
Gina is a true mystic, not only does she tune into your energy and help you find answers - she educates you along the way encouraging you to tap into your intuition and trust yourself. I've learned so much about tarot from our readings together 10/10.
Gina truly has a gift. I've had several tarot readings with her, all at major turning points in my life. Gina has provided me with gentle, yet profound, insight into the bigger picture as well as guidance on how to navigate the nuances of the moment. Whenever life throws me a curveball, I book a reading with Gina
As a curious skeptic, I was a little nervous to book my first Tarot reading. I wasn't really sure what to expect or how it would play out. Gina assured me that Tarot only tells us the things we need to hear. My first reading was such a positive experience and I gained so much clarity that I came back for more. When faced with uncertainty, Tarot has really helped me tune into my intuition and take action on what l already know to be good for me.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Tarot work?
Tarot isn’t about telling the future or making choices for you. It’s a tool for insight—a way to understand the energies at play in your life right now. With that clarity, you can choose your path with more awareness and trust in yourself.
When I read for you, I tune into your energy and the situation you’re moving through. I work with the cards as archetypes of the human experience—78 symbols that reflect the patterns, emotions, and possibilities we all encounter. Through these, I help you see what’s unfolding, what’s asking for your attention, and how you can shift or move forward in alignment with what feels true for you.
What can my reading be about?
Tarot can be about almost anything you're moving through. Big decisions, tough moments, setting intentions, understanding your past, closing chapters, calling in love, preparing for new beginnings like pregnancy, looking ahead to the year, or just seeing what’s ready to come through. Whatever’s on your heart, tarot can help bring it into focus.
I create custom spreads for each reading, based on what you’re needing most. When you book, feel free to share anything you’d like me to know—it helps me tune in more clearly and offer something that feels personal and supportive. Everything you share stays just between us, and I’m always grateful for the trust you place in me.
I want to get a reading, but I am scared of hearing something I don't want to hear. Is tarot as scary as it seems?
Tarot isn’t scary—it’s actually a really supportive and enlightening tool. The cards won’t tell you something you’re powerless to change. Instead, they reflect what’s already present and offer clarity on how to move forward. A reading often ends with grounded insights, reminders of your strengths, and gentle heads-ups about what might need your attention. Rather than creating fear, tarot helps light the way so you can walk your path with more confidence, understanding, and trust in yourself. It’s a powerful way to gain clarity and reconnect with your own wisdom.
Does Tarot conflict with my religion?
Tarot is a form of energy work and an intuitive practice, but it’s not a religion. It doesn’t ask you to believe in anything specific—it’s simply a tool to help you explore what’s possible in your life. If you’re wondering whether tarot might conflict with your personal beliefs, know that my approach is about supporting you, wherever you are on your journey. I’m here to help you see beyond your current situation, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and grow into your fullest self—whatever that looks like for you. Tarot can complement any spiritual path, or simply be a way to find clarity, no matter what you believe.
What is reiki?
Reiki can help people achieve a balanced state of well-being and relaxation. Reiki is a form of energy healing that works with the body's natural healing processes to access the universal flow of energy in order to treat physical, emotional, and mental ailments, restore balance to the energy points known as chakras, and to promote magical growth and healing.
Who can give reiki?
Only practitioners with the proper attunements are able to access reiki energy. If you are interested in receiving attunements and learning how to use reiki, I offer mentorship in this healing practice. Minimum 2 month commitment.
What is a session like?
A reiki session is a gentle, hands-on healing experience where you simply rest while I channel energy to support your body and mind in finding balance. You’ll lie down fully clothed, and I’ll place my hands lightly on or just above different areas of your body, focusing on where energy might feel stuck or in need of flow.
Many people feel warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of calm during the session. It’s a quiet, restorative space for you to release tension, reconnect with yourself, and allow your natural healing processes to take over. Each session is different, and I always follow what your energy needs in the moment.
