Meet Nicky
For more than 30 years, Nicky Osborne has been doing something simple but powerful: Listening.
Intelligently, compassionately without judgement.
Not as a fortune-teller. Not as a guru. But as a teacher, writer, and guide who understands how real people navigate real lives.
Her work is grounded, intuitive, practical, and rooted in a lifelong fascination with the human experience — how we grow, how we make meaning, and how we find our way back to ourselves when life becomes overwhelming.
A Path Shaped by Experience
As a teacher, Nicky has realised the importance of being a sensitive ‘ear’ to the student voice.
As a writer, she discovered the power of story, symbol, and metaphor — and how they can reveal what the conscious mind struggles to articulate.
As a tarot practitioner since her twenties, she has witnessed countless moments when something drops into place for someone — not through prediction, but through clarity.
This blend of intelligence, intuition, and grounded presence forms the heart of everything she does.
Why Nicky is Different
No fortune-telling — she won’t promise your future, but she will help you understand your present
30+ years of practice — insight shaped by decades, not trends
Teacher & guide — trained to help people discover their own inner answers
Mindfulness-grounded — anchored in presence, not escapism
Cornwall-rooted — inspired by landscape, pilgrimage, and ancient wisdom
Psychologically attuned — she understands stress, burnout, and the modern mind
Why Did I Create Mindful Tarot?
Modern life and its pressures create a growing need for us to be able to spend time searching through our complicated lives to bring about some order from the chaos. Many of us do not want ‘counselling’ but we do want empathy, that other person to sit with as we share a precious non-judgemental space to communicate.
This is where Mindful Tarot comes in!
‘Mindful Tarot’ based upon the ‘Seven Pillars’ offers the seeker opportunities to embrace Tarot on a spiritual or psychological level, allowing for personal choice and freedom. This removes any ‘fear’ of thinking that Tarot can only be accessed by those with spiritual beliefs or a love of the occult.
Tarot, like life, is multi-layered like the skin of an onion – it is for the seeker on their own personal journey to delve as deeply, or as lightly, as they wish.
Mood and setting for my readings are atmospheric and magical, immersed in my own beliefs and grounded in a profound love of the sacred landscape of Cornwall, the inspiration for my writings and divinatory methods.
So, what are you waiting for?
The Cornwall Connection
Cornwall has called to Nicky since her teenage years. It is a land shaped by pilgrims, seekers, storytellers, and those drawn to places of quiet knowing.
Now living within this ancient landscape, Nicky works in a way that reflects its character: still spacious, reflective, and deeply rooted.
She understands what it means to feel burnt out, overwhelmed, or disconnected — because she has seen it in her students, her clients, and at times, in herself. This is why her guidance feels different. It’s not mystical performance. It’s not entertainment. It’s not surface spirituality.
It’s grounded clarity, held with compassion.
Drawn to Cornwall since her teenage years, Nicky now lives within the county's ancient, spiritual landscape — a place where seekers have journeyed for millennia.
She gets you. And she knows exactly how to guide you home to yourself…
What People Feel When They Work With Her
A sense of calm. A sense of being truly seen. A sense of returning to themselves.
Because Nicky doesn’t tell you who you are. She helps you remember who you’ve been all along.
