We had the good fortune of connecting with Shraddha Bhandari and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shraddha, let’s talk legacy – what do you want yours to be?
Being a tarot reader and numerologist at a young age has been a transformative journey, one where I’ve felt wisdom flowing through me with every step. From the first time I held a tarot deck, I realized it wasn’t just about reading cards—it was about channeling energies, connecting with people’s deepest emotions, and offering healing and clarity. My purpose has always been deeply tied to helping others uncover their paths and navigate life’s complexities. Having faced my own challenges, I know the power of guidance in moments of chaos, and my greatest fulfillment comes from bringing light and hope to others when they need it most.

I want my legacy to inspire people to trust their own intuition and find strength even in the darkest moments. I hope to be remembered as someone who lived authentically, listened deeply, and empowered others to embrace their journeys with courage and self-awareness. Whether helping someone gain clarity in love, purpose, or direction, my work is about planting seeds of spiritual growth and awakening. My story isn’t just about tarot—it’s about creating a ripple of hope and guiding others to recognize the magic within themselves and the beauty of the universe at work in their lives.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My journey as a tarot reader and numerologist began humbly, reading for my close friends and family. What started as an intuitive practice quickly gained momentum as one event led to another. The word spread organically, and through word of mouth, I began building a loyal clientele who trusted and valued my insights. Encouraged by their support, I took a leap and established an online page to share my services. Soon, Instagram became a significant platform for reaching a global audience, and clients began finding me through my posts and content.

This growth eventually opened doors to new opportunities, including invitations from metaphysical shops in Los Angeles to collaborate and offer my readings. My unique style and deep understanding of energies helped me stand out in this competitive market, and I was fortunate to be recognized and hired for my authenticity and accuracy. However, the journey hasn’t been easy. Marketing myself was particularly challenging, as my focus was always on offering genuine, impactful services rather than heavily promoting my work. But with grace from the universe, fame and recognition began to flow naturally. A significant milestone was being interviewed by the renowned news channel Enepalese, where I shared my story and insights to help people around the world.

Coming from Nepal, the land of the Himalayas and Buddha’s birthplace, my mission is to represent my spiritual roots and share the wisdom of ancient sciences like astrology and energy work. I aspire to connect with people who resonate with my style of readings and my energy while clearing the taboos surrounding psychics and mediums. Psychics are often dismissed as irrelevant or not seen as “professionals,” but I aim to change that perception. I want people to realize that tarot and occult practices can be alternative tools for counseling and mental health therapy if approached with the right intention and by the right mediums. My brand is about empowering people, bridging spiritual and mental well-being, and sharing the timeless wisdom of my homeland with the world.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting the area, I’d plan a week filled with spiritual rejuvenation, mindful exploration, and delicious food in both Los Angeles and around LA. We’d start in LA with a grounding yoga session at YogaWorks or Liberation Yoga, followed by breakfast at Café Gratitude, known for its nourishing plant-based dishes. We’’d enjoy vegan Mexican food at Gracias Madre before heading to Griffith Observatory for a stunning sunset view of the city and a celestial connection.

Midweek, we’d take a scenic drive to Ojai, known for its spiritual energy and peaceful vibes. After lunch at The Farmer and the Cook, we’d check into Ojai Valley Inn or a cozy Airbnb and visit Meditation Mount for breathtaking views and introspection. The next day would include a sunrise yoga session, a visit to the Ojai Farmers’ Market for local treasures, and a Reiki or sound healing session at Soul Centered. The evening would be spent hiking Rose Valley Falls Trail or Shelf Road Trail at sunset, soaking in the tranquility of nature.

Back in LA, we’d explore Venice Beach for ocean-side refreshment and visit Mystic Journey Bookstore for spiritual tools and crystals. Lunch at Rose Café would be the perfect stop before a calming hike at Topanga State Park. To wrap up the trip, dinner at Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga Canyon or Crossroads Kitchen in West Hollywood would be a fitting way to celebrate the week—a perfect blend of spiritual connection, natural beauty, and incredible food. This trip would highlight the best of the area’s soulful experiences, leaving them feeling refreshed and inspired.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and recognition to my incredible friends and family, who have been my unwavering pillars of support throughout my journey. Their encouragement, love, and belief in my abilities have given me the strength to pursue this path with confidence and passion. My family’s faith in the power of energies and the universe has profoundly influenced me, inspiring me to embrace spiritual practices and energy work. They have, in many ways, guided me toward exploring unconventional paths, which have been instrumental in shaping the person I am today.

I also want to give special recognition to a remarkable psychic reader from India, who played a pivotal role in transforming my life. Through her wisdom, guidance, and deep understanding of energies, she helped me realize my true calling as a tarot reader and numerologist. During a time when I was on the verge of giving up everything, her words gave me hope and reignited my spirit. Collectively, these influences helped me uncover my purpose and inspired me to embrace this path with dedication and a sense of responsibility. Their impact will always hold a special place in my heart as the foundation of my spiritual journey.
