"What I love most about the runes, astrology, numerology, etc. is that they are living systems that connect purely to Source, are completely interconnected, accessible and inclusive to everyone." -Bess Strzelecki

What others say about working with Bess
"I find myself quoting things she has said in the past that have come true or ring true."
It is hard to capture in words the magnitude of the gift that Bess has. I have a high-powered career and a quantitative mindset. I was open to astrology but had very little experience with it. Bess completely blew my mind with the accuracy of her understanding of my personality, my life experiences, and my path. Thru multiple sessions over time, she has helped me navigate very challenging times in my life both personally and professionally, and has given me the faith and courage to make choices that were aligned with my values instead of out of fear. A year into our relationship, I find myself quoting things she has said in the past that have come true or ring true. Her website mentions helping you let you get to know yourself better and I can completely underwrite that is true. She is spiritual and kind and that guides all interactions. What distinguishes her is the combination of these traits with a strong intuition and intellectual rigor. Even just looking at her website you can see the depth of effort and diversity of training she has sought out to pursue this deep calling in the most thoughtful way. She is truly one of a kind and I am blessed to have crossed paths with her. You will not regret letting her get to know you.

Our astrological work together instantly opened up my awareness to realities that I was blind to."
Bess is an incredible spiritual leader who has had a profound impact on my life. She's unlike anyone I've ever met- dwelling in our physical world yet maintaining an uncompromising connection to source energy and the Spirit. Our astrological work together instantly opened up my awareness to realities that I was blind to. It was a moving experience that changed my life and gave me tools to achieve my goals, trust myself and create a path to inner peace. Bess is an expert at working with all of the energy around us, and I encourage anyone hoping to shift their state of being to work with her many talents.

"I left the reading feeling ebullient. I can't wait for my next appointment!"
After reviewing the Wholehearted Livings' sessions and offerings, I scheduled the Initial Astrological Reading appointment hoping to understand more about my current life’s history -- integrate that into my present day -- and then perhaps prepare myself better for my future. I had no idea how insightful and powerful my reading would be. Bess seemed to know me and my personality right away and I felt as if we already knew each other. She explained and made sense of the most challenging periods in my life, decoded the personal relationship dynamics I had been repeating, and validated much of what I had experienced as part of my astrological chart. She then offered a clear vision of what information would be the most meaningful to my future decisions. It was absolutely transformative. As helpful as psychological therapy is to work through difficult times, perplexing decisions, and challenging relationships, Bess’s reading put me at complete peace – knowing that all I had experienced up until the present was necessary for my growth in this life (and through past ones, as well) - and the information she shared would be vital for my future decisions. I left the reading feeling ebullient. I can’t wait to book my next appointment!

"Her gift is providing clarity and reassurance..."
Bess consistently amazes me with the depth and interpretation of her readings. As somewhat of a skeptic myself, I find it comforting she never imposes and always lets the readings speak for themselves. Her gift is providing clarity and reassurance to the situations in question, and this always helped me see things in a clearer light. I find her readings invaluable.

"This was by far the most in-depth and helpful reading I've ever had!"
Having a natal reading with Bess was so informative and validating to many things I've felt deeply within. There were many questions I didn't even know I had until she brought things to light. Bess is so passionate and dedicated to providing detailed descriptions of the aspects of the astrology chart. This was by far the most in-depth and helpful reading I've ever had! I've happily referred several friends her way.

Bess couples her astrological readings with insights from other practices, including tarot, runes and meditation to give clients a deeper understanding..."
A deep spiritualism sets Bess apart from any astrologer I have worked with, making her readings unique and unlike others I have had in the past. She doesn't try to predict the future or speak in sweeping terms that could apply to anyone. Rather, she taps into your soul's personal journey and gives insights into the path the universe has put you on. Everything she said not only resonated with me, but clarified and articulated thoughts or intuitions I have had recently. Bess couples her astrological readings with insights from other practices, including tarot, runes and meditation to give her clients a deeper understanding of what is unfolding around them. She is both technical and articulate, grounding her practice in reason and heart. I recommend Bess for anyone looking to dig deeper and move forward in life.

"...her confident advice allowed us to process through on my obstacles.."
Bess helped me through one of the biggest decisions of my life: relocating my entire family. Bess read the runes on my behalf and her confident advice allowed us to press on through many obstacles in the purchase and move with conviction. And here we are, living in our dream home, and everything happened as it should have - just like Bess said it would!

"...Bess helped me to clearly see my path and release hidden anxieties..."
After just one reading with Bess, I have been able to find the deep alignment and clarity that I have been craving for my body, mind, and soul. Throughout the entire session, I felt supported by her intuitive readings as her words flowed with honest compassion. Within one session; she did multiple readings, answered specific questions, offered mantras, and suggested useful tools to help integrate the insight in my future self. The session felt like the greatest opportunity to process my past and feel inspired for my future.
Each time she spoke; I was either tearing up, covered in goosebumps, or getting shivers as she blew me away with the accuracy of her reading. As the session concluded, Bess helped me to clearly see my path and release hidden anxieties that I was previously too fearful to acknowledge. Bess will always be my “Go to” as the space that she creates for her clients is safe, comfortable, and therapeutic.
It is apparent that this is not only her passion, but also her true gift that she is sharing with her clients. I would highly recommend Bess to everyone, as we all deserve to gain a greater understanding of our being and find security within our intuition as we move forward through life.

"I was unfamiliar with natal charts, and she made the information more accessible..."
Bess is super knowledgeable and thoughtful and cares about her clients beyond just a work/business basis. I was unfamiliar with natal charts, and she made the information more accessible and helped me through a tough moment with some really helpful advice, astrological and otherwise. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a deeper understanding of themselves or their purpose.

"You will be grateful for having the experience of a reading with her."
Bess is fantastic. I've known her for years. We first met in England at the Chalice Well, a truly magical place on earth. Bess' astrological studies and chart work are as magical as the Chalice Well (she is too humble to tell you this - so I am). You will be grateful for having the experience of a reading with her. I most certainly appreciate all she has shared with me for myself, my work and my relationships. Thank you dear heart.

Bess is absolutely terrific, and I would highly recommend that everyone take the time to meet with her. Whether you have specific questions or are just curious what your current and future path may look like. She will help guide you and give you incredible information to help you along your journey. I have come to truly value and cherish the time and advice Bess gives me and am so grateful to have a resource like her.

"My star chart reading with Bess was a powerful experience."
My star chart reading with Bess was a powerful experience. Bess' energy and accuracy, combined with her innate way of simplifying the complicated language of the planets and stars made the experience even better. Bess is so comfortable in her intuitive talents and has an ease and lightness about her that made me feel comfortable right away. I am already looking forward to my next reading.

"What distinguishes Bess is her genuine care for her craft."
I recently had an initial reading with Bess and am so happy with my experience. What distinguishes Bess is her genuine care for her craft and the quality and rigor with which she shows up. She brought infectious energy, deep empathy and a natural intuition to our session. While she's incredibly knowledgeable, she's also very accessible and created a comfortable, highly personalized environment for our time together. I've found myself carrying her words and guidance with me every day. Whether you're newer to the astrology space or bring your own experience, I believe Bess has a strong handle on how to meet you where you're at. I'm grateful for my time with Bess, look forward to meeting with her again and am recommending her to friends and family!
