Compassion & wisdom
“Melanie is the brightest light and exudes compassion and wisdom.” The strongest reactions often have less to do with prediction and more to do with feeling emotionally safe and genuinely seen.

Community reflections
What guests and community members tend to notice most.
These themes come up again and again around Laughing Llama tarot experiences.
Insight that stays with people
“Her tarot reading before was spot on.” Guests often remember the resonance and clarity of the conversation long after the reading ends.
A supportive experience
“It put my shine back.” Many people describe the reading as encouraging, grounding, or perspective-shifting in a way that feels gentle rather than dramatic.
Approachable guidance
“She makes astrology and tarot easily understandable.” The tone stays welcoming, conversational, and clear, especially for guests who are new to tarot.
Why that trust exists
Long-term practice and real community presence matter.
Public recommendation history for Mel’s tarot work reaches back for years and reflects recurring trust across creative venues, festivals, cafes, gatherings, and private clients. She has read for hundreds of people, built long-term returning client relationships, and offered readings for clients well beyond Wisconsin while still keeping the experience local, human, and grounded.
First deck at age twelve
Tarot has been part of Mel’s life for decades, and every deck she has owned since that first one has been gifted over time.
Years of public reading
Mel offered free readings at parties and gatherings long before charging professionally and later read weekly for years at a local Kenosha creative venue.
Creative and community-rooted
The reading style is shaped as much by community connection and artistic atmosphere as by the cards themselves.
