About Me

Who I Am

I am Iva Aiesh, a Czech spiritual guide, tarot reader and energy practitioner based in the Czech Republic. For more than 15 years, I have been helping people gain a deeper understanding of their relationships, life situations, personal challenges and inner patterns. I work primarily online with clients throughout Europe and worldwide, so you can use my services regardless of where you live. Depending on the service, we can connect by e-mail, online chat or phone, while my energy work is carried out remotely.

My work combines tarot readings, intuitive guidance, pendulum work, channeling, spiritual mentoring and my own approach to energy work. I believe that every person and every situation is different, which is why I do not work according to one rigid system. My aim is to look beneath the surface of an issue, explore the connections behind it and help you gain a broader perspective on what you are experiencing.

Spirituality has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, although it took me many years to understand how important it would eventually become. I grew up in a family where alternative approaches, energy work and an interest in the deeper aspects of life were naturally present. My father worked with bioenergy, a dowsing rod and a pendulum and was deeply interested in traditional healing and helping other people. My mother was interested in natural approaches, herbs and the properties traditionally associated with minerals and stones. Both of my parents have since passed away, but their influence remains an important part of my personal and professional journey.

My father's path into energy work began unexpectedly when someone he knew was facing surgery because of digestive problems. My father had already been studying bioenergy and believed he could perceive energy through his hands, so he offered his support. I was very young at the time, but the experience remained in my memory and became one of my first encounters with a world I would later explore much more deeply. As a child, I sometimes accompanied him to lectures and events connected with healing and alternative approaches. At one of these events, a lecturer told me that I appeared to have a natural ability and that I should learn to work with a pendulum because I might one day use it to help other people. At the time, I did not take the idea very seriously.

Nevertheless, I quietly explored books from my father's library, became interested in meditation and different ways of working with the mind, and observed the way he communicated with people who came to see him. Looking back, I realise how strongly this influenced me. He created an atmosphere in which people felt relaxed enough to speak openly, even about difficult subjects. I try to bring the same quality into my own consultations today. I believe that serious situations can be approached with sensitivity, humanity and, when appropriate, a little humour. Above all, people should feel heard, respected and free to be themselves.

 

How Tarot Became Part of My Life

My interest in cards began when I was around fourteen. Before that, I had already been reading about astrology, palmistry and different traditional divination systems, and my brother and I sometimes experimented with ordinary playing cards simply out of curiosity. At that age, I did not attach much importance to what I saw. Later, however, I experienced a profound personal loss when my brother died while I was still at secondary school. Before his death, I had experienced certain impressions through cards, dreams and intuition, but I had not believed that they might have any deeper significance.

His death affected me deeply and led me to search for answers about life, death, consciousness and what may exist beyond what we can physically perceive. For some time, I stopped working with cards completely. Gradually, however, my search brought me back to meditation, intuitive perception, ritual work and what is commonly described as channeling. For me, channeling is a focused intuitive process through which impressions, ideas or information may arise beyond ordinary analytical thought. Around the same time, I also began working more seriously with a pendulum. What had originally started as youthful curiosity gradually became a meaningful part of my spiritual practice.

During my first year at university, a family acquaintance encouraged me to read cards for him. He knew that I owned a Lenormand deck and wanted another perspective on several family matters. I hesitated but eventually agreed. Over time, some of the situations we had discussed developed in ways that closely resembled what had appeared during the reading, and he began returning whenever he wanted guidance. Around the time I was finishing university, television programmes featuring tarot readers and spiritual advisers were becoming increasingly popular in the Czech Republic. This inspired me to create my own website where people could send questions free of charge and later return with feedback. I was repeatedly surprised by how often people told me that the readings reflected their situations accurately.

For several years, I continued offering readings as a side activity alongside regular employment. Eventually, I reached a point where I had to decide whether this work would remain a hobby or become my profession. I chose the path that felt most meaningful to me. Today, tarot reading, intuitive guidance, pendulum work, spiritual consultations and energy work are an established part of my professional life.

 

From Established Methods to My Own In-Depth Approach

Over the years, my interests expanded far beyond tarot. I became increasingly interested in consciousness, subconscious patterns, emotional burdens, family and ancestral influences, karmic themes and the ways in which past experiences may continue to affect our present choices. I kept returning to questions such as why certain situations repeat, why we are drawn to particular people, why some emotional patterns are so difficult to change and why certain experiences continue to influence us long after the original event has passed.

This search led me to explore different systems of spiritual and energetic work, including Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT) and later the VIDA System®, which has certain foundations related to SRT. These approaches gave me important foundations and new perspectives, but over time I felt that I needed to go further. I wanted to examine individual issues in greater depth and to work more flexibly than a single established system allowed.

For that reason, I gradually began adapting, expanding and combining what I had learned with additional spiritual, intuitive and energy-based approaches. Through many years of practical experience, I developed my own individual way of working that allows me to explore a client's situation on several interconnected levels rather than focusing on only one area. My current approach is therefore not a mechanical application of SRT, VIDA or any other single method. It is a unique, personalised and more in-depth approach developed through years of practice, drawing from different techniques according to the needs of the individual client.

Depending on the situation, my work may explore themes connected with the conscious and subconscious mind, emotions, personal and relationship patterns, family and ancestral influences, energetic burdens and attachments, karmic themes and other areas that may be relevant to the client's experience. I may also work with different levels of a person's inner experience and explore where a recurring pattern may have originated. The purpose is not to apply as many techniques as possible, but to look for meaningful connections and work with the areas that appear relevant to the individual situation.

Over time, energy cleansing became one of the central parts of my practice. I often work with people who feel stuck, repeatedly encounter similar situations, carry long-standing emotional burdens or simply sense that they need to understand what is happening in their lives on a deeper level. Depending on the service, my work may also include energetic cleansing of a person, their relationships or their living space. In recent years, I have incorporated Light Language and Light Codes into selected parts of my spiritual practice as well. I regard all of these approaches as spiritual and symbolic practices rather than medical treatment.

My Education and Professional Background

My spiritual work is only one part of my background. I have always had a strong interest in food, biology, nature, health and the functioning of the human body. I studied Food Analysis and Microbiology at a secondary school of chemistry in Brno, Czech Republic, and later continued my studies at Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic. I hold a university degree in Plant Pathology from Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic. My scientific education taught me to analyse information systematically, consider different possible causes and look at a situation from more than one perspective—skills that have also influenced the way I approach my work with clients.

Several years later, I decided to expand my knowledge of nutrition and completed professional education through NutriAcademy, becoming a Certified Nutrition Advisor. I have also continued my education through specialist courses, seminars and webinars covering subjects such as emotional eating and body weight, meal planning, common nutrition myths, sports nutrition, nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding, children's nutrition and modern approaches to healthy eating. Nutrition and lifestyle topics frequently arise during consultations, which is why I continue to develop my knowledge in this area. My nutritional guidance is educational and supportive and does not replace medical diagnosis, treatment or advice from a physician or another regulated healthcare professional.

Relationships and Personal Development

Relationships are among the most common topics people bring to me. For this reason, I have also continued studying relationship dynamics, communication, emotional patterns, attachment and personal development through specialist webinars, professional literature and many years of practical experience with clients. When someone comes to me with a relationship problem, I do not want to simply tell them what a reading appears to indicate. I want to help them understand why a particular dynamic may be happening, which patterns may be involved, what belongs to the other person and what they themselves can realistically influence.

This is an important part of my approach. I do not believe that the future should be presented as something completely fixed. A reading can show tendencies, possibilities, risks or potential developments, but people still have their own decisions, choices and responsibility. Even when a difficult possibility appears, I believe it should be communicated sensitively and constructively rather than in a way that creates fear.

My Professional Experience

At one stage of my professional journey, I was approached by Ezo.TV, during a period when television tarot and spiritual guidance programmes were becoming increasingly popular. Although the experience was interesting, I eventually realised that this particular format did not suit the way I wanted to work and decided to end the collaboration. Later, I was invited to contribute to the Czech magazine Ve hvězdách & Lidový léčitel and to special editions of TV Pohoda – Křížovky, where I wrote forecasts and articles for several years. I have also contributed to the Czech women's online magazine gleid.cz.

Writing has always been another way for me to share my knowledge and experience beyond individual consultations. It gives me an opportunity to explain spiritual and personal-development topics more broadly and to connect intuitive perspectives with practical ideas that people can apply in their everyday lives.

How I Work

There is no single method that is suitable for every person. During consultations and energy work, I choose and combine approaches according to the individual situation rather than following one standardised formula. My aim is to help you see connections that may previously have remained hidden, understand recurring patterns and gain a wider perspective on the situation you are dealing with.

The areas I most frequently work with include relationships and partnerships, work and career, finances, important life decisions, personal development, emotional and recurring patterns, spiritual questions, health and lifestyle topics, as well as fertility and pregnancy-related concerns from a spiritual or lifestyle perspective. Where health, fertility or pregnancy are concerned, my services are complementary only and never replace medical examination, diagnosis or treatment.

Empathy is an essential part of the way I work. Many people come to a consultation because they need more than a simple answer. They need a place where they can explain what they are experiencing without feeling judged, organise thoughts that have become confusing and look at their situation from another perspective. For me, empathy means listening not only to what a person says but also recognising what may be difficult for them to put into words. Combined with healthy boundaries and practical insight, empathy can become an important tool for understanding ourselves, our relationships and the choices available to us.

Working With Me From Abroad

Although I am based in the Czech Republic, in Central Europe, my work is international and primarily online. You do not need to travel to the Czech Republic to use my services. Depending on the type of consultation or service, we can work together by e-mail, online chat, phone or remote energy work. This allows me to support clients from Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavian countries and elsewhere in Europe, as well as clients living in other parts of the world.

For international clients, the online format offers privacy, flexibility and the possibility of receiving support from the comfort of their own home. Written services can be delivered entirely by e-mail, while live consultations can take place remotely. International clients are warmly welcome.

If You Are Looking for a New Perspective

If you are trying to understand a difficult situation, want to explore possible paths forward or feel that certain patterns keep repeating in your life, I can help you look at the situation from a wider perspective. My role is not to make decisions for you or tell you how you must live your life. My role is to offer insight, identify possible connections and help you better understand what may be influencing your current experience so that you can make your own informed choices.

Sometimes, seeing one situation from a different perspective is enough to begin changing the way we relate to it. If you have questions or would like to arrange a consultation, you are welcome to contact me wherever you live.

I am based in the Czech Republic and work online with clients across Europe and worldwide.

With love,
Iva Aiesh
