Helping you find meaning, inner guidance, and a way forward during life’s challenging chapters.

Ways to Work With Me
My work brings together personalized mythic storytelling, intuitive vocal sound healing, tarot and oracle exploration, creative reflection, and grounding support to help you move through life’s challenging chapters and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
There are two ways to experience this work:
One-on-One Song Story Sessions
Private, personalized sessions for reflection, guidance, creative exploration, and meaningful change through story, tarot, and sound.
You come with an intention, life challenge, transition, or inner question. I create a mythic story specifically for you and the area of focus you bring to the session.
After the story, we reflect together on what stood out, what moved you, and what meaning arose. We may then explore a tarot or oracle card, beginning with the images and symbols that speak to you. I may also offer intuitive insights or archetypal perspectives as additional threads for reflection.
Sessions may include intuitive vocal sound healing, grounding practices, creative cardmaking, journaling, or an invitation to continue the story in your own way.
Each experience is held with deep listening, grounded presence, and compassionate support.
Available by phone.
Song Story Bundles
Recorded mythic stories and vocal sound journeys you can return to whenever you need support, perspective, or a deeper connection with yourself.
These self-guided downloadable bundles may include original storytelling audio, intuitive vocal sound, reflective prompts, grounding practices, creative exercises, and optional crystal suggestions to help you explore and integrate the story’s wisdom.
Themes may include anxiety, self-worth, emotional healing, belonging, empowerment, life transitions, inner renewal, and finding hope during difficult times.
Created for you to experience at your own pace, in your own space.
About Vlatka Herzberg
Mythic Storyteller • Tarot and Oracle Guide • Vocal Sound Healer
I help people find meaning, inner guidance, and a way forward during life’s challenging chapters through personalized mythic story, tarot and oracle exploration, creative cardmaking, and vocal sound.
My work is rooted in the belief that the stories, images, and archetypes that arise within us can reveal wisdom that ordinary conversation may not always reach. In a session, we may explore a tarot or oracle card together, listen for the personal meaning within its symbols, work with vocal sound and grounding, or begin shaping a mythic story around what you are experiencing.
You are not simply given an interpretation or told what your story means. You are invited to participate in the process—to notice what speaks to you, create your own imagery or card, respond to a story, write a new version or sequel, and discover what wants to unfold next.
My approach has grown from many years of study and experience in storytelling, visual narrative, spiritual practice, sound, and collaborative creativity.
The Experience Behind This Work:
Therapeutic and mythic storytelling
I have studied therapeutic storytelling with Susan Perrow, Waldorf-inspired storytelling, traditional storytelling, mythic structure, and the use of story to support children, adults, and families through change, challenge, and emotional experience.
Film and visual storytelling
My background includes television training, screenwriting, script development, and work with film-industry professionals, who reviewed and guided my writing. This experience deepened my understanding of character, imagery, conflict, transformation, and the emotional power of visual story.
Teaching and collaborative creation
I have taught children how to create short stories, reader’s theatre scripts, comic panels, and visual narratives. This taught me how to guide another person into a creative process without taking the process away from them—an approach that now shapes the way I work with clients.
Tarot, archetype, and personal imagery
My work draws upon the Major Arcana, the Hero’s and Heroine’s Journeys, SoulCollage, original cardmaking especially through personal illness and trauma, feminine archetypal energies, faces of self, and spiritual Guardians from my own metaphysical tradition. These images can become doorways into parts of ourselves that are waiting to be seen, understood, or reclaimed.
Vocal sound and contemplative practice
My vocal sound healing grew from many years of spiritual and metaphysical practice. It is an essential part of my own medicine—a way I process, move through emotions and patterns, and transform energy—and it has become a foundational element of the sessions I offer others.
I use intuitive vocal sound to help clients ground, center, and move gently through what they are experiencing. I also weave in Reiki-informed practice, grounding techniques, deep listening, and optional crystal support.
Sound is not an added feature in my work. It is one of the central ways I create a safe, attuned space for reflection, release, and reconnection with inner wisdom.
Together, these strands allow me to offer an approach that is imaginative, compassionate, intuitive, and deeply personal. I begin by inviting you to notice what the images, symbols, and stories mean to you, because your own associations and inner knowing are central to the process. I may also offer intuitive insights, archetypal perspectives, or possibilities for you to consider—not as fixed interpretations, but as additional threads that may deepen the exploration.
My role is not to tell you who you are or what your symbols must mean. It is to listen alongside you, help you recognize your own wisdom, and support you in shaping a more hopeful story for what comes next.
Clients often describe these experiences as calming, illuminating, emotionally meaningful, and unexpectedly transformative.
This work may be used on its own or alongside licensed therapy, medical care, and other forms of personal growth support. It does not replace psychotherapy, diagnosis, or medical treatment.
What to Expect
Each experience is shaped by your intention and guided by intuitive sound, story, symbolic imagery, and grounded presence.
Sessions often begin with wordless vocal tones—a gentle, intuitive soundscape to help you settle, soften, and create space for deeper listening.
I then share a personalized mythic story created around the area of focus you have brought to the session. Afterward, we reflect on the story together, exploring what stood out, what moved you, and what meaning or insight arose for you.
We then pull a tarot or oracle card together to deepen the exploration. You are invited to notice the images, symbols, and personal meanings that speak to you. I may also offer intuitive insights or archetypal perspectives as additional threads for reflection.
Reflection and integration may include grounding practices, crystals, creative cardmaking, journaling, or an invitation to respond to the story by creating your own version, continuation, or sequel.
Each session concludes with intuitive vocal sound to help anchor what has emerged, support integration, and accompany you as you move forward.

“I felt a quiet, intuitive nudge to attend Vlatka’s Sound Reiki session after meeting her and sensing the calm wisdom she carries. From the moment the experience began, she created a space that felt sacred, intentional, and deeply nurturing. She opened with a mythic story that gently guided us inward, inviting stillness. When she began singing while offering Reiki, I felt the vibration of her voice move through me in a grounding and expansive way. I felt profoundly held. I experienced a deep sense of alignment, nourishment, and peace. Several personal insights came through later, and in the days that followed I noticed meaningful synchronicities. Vlatka carries a beautiful presence and a true gift for weaving sound, energy and story into a powerful healing experience.” — (Darcy, Breath-work Facilitator, Hesperia, CA)
There is something powerful that happens when healing is witnessed.
What one pair shared after their session:
“Attending Vlatka’s Sound Reiki event was a truly profound experience. My soul sister and I were deeply moved by the mythic story Vlatka shared, which gently opened the space for vocal sound healing, Reiki, and journaling.
One of the most meaningful parts was how bonding it was for both of us. We were able to truly hold space for one another, witnessing each other’s journeys while being supported by Vlatka’s steady, wise presence. It was beautiful to be part of and to witness.
I felt completely supported and safe throughout the experience, and the time Vlatka took afterward to help us integrate what surfaced made it feel grounded and complete.
Thank you, Vlatka. I deeply appreciate the sacred space you create.”
