You Already Know. I Just Help You Hear It.
Mel Morris is an Intuitive Coach and Tarot Reader who listens for what’s underneath what you’re saying and helps you find your way to what you actually came to figure out.

What happens when you're in the room with Mel
Something comes through her in conversation that most people don’t expect. She listens for what you’re saying and for what you’re not saying yet. She asks the question that connects the dots. She names the thing you’ve been carrying that you couldn’t quite put into words.
People tend to get emotional. Not because it’s heavy, but because it’s a relief. To finally be heard without an agenda. To have someone reflect back what’s actually true for you instead of what you think you should be feeling.
That’s the gift. And it shows up the same way whether she’s reading tarot one on one, facilitating a group coaching session, or standing in front of a room of a thousand people. The tool changes. The presence doesn’t.
How I Came to This Work
My path was not a straight line, pretty, or painless. As a mixed-race, gay, late-diagnosed ADHD woman who has survived trauma, burnout, identity rupture, and systems that were never designed for me, I know what it is to continuously reinvent yourself just to survive. I know the quiet ache of becoming someone you’ve never seen modeled. Every turning point taught me the same lesson:
Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is choosing yourself while afraid.
Even in the middle of all of it, there was a voice I kept ignoring. A quieter direction underneath the noise that didn’t always make rational sense. Ignoring it always led me somewhere that didn’t quite fit. Once I stopped trying to do it right according to everyone else and slowed down enough to listen, everything changed.
That’s where tools like tarot and meditation came in, not as mystical objects but as ways to tune in beyond the noise. Listening to Spirit has never led me astray, even when it didn’t make sense to my brain.
And all of this is what I bring to the people I work with. Lived experience, real understanding, and a space where you don’t have to explain yourself before you’re heard.
30 Years in Rooms Where It Mattered
Mel brings more than three decades of experience as a facilitator, coach, and advocate.
She has served as a Department Director for Diversity in higher education, a Statewide Public Education Campaign Manager for the ACLU of Pennsylvania’s marriage equality victory, and a leadership developer across LGBTQ+ organizations, corporate programs, and statewide advocacy campaigns. She has stood in rooms where courage wasn’t optional and helped people find it anyway.
She is a Biddy Tarot certified reader, ordained and legally able to officiate weddings and ceremonial rites, and the founder of This Is What’s Next, a coaching and community practice built around one belief: that the answers you’re looking for are already inside you. You just need someone who can hear them.
