About Miriam

Miriam Jacobs, RPE, IPE, CMT, BFA, is a passionate energy-based bodyworker, Tarot card reader, and devoted dance enthusiast based in the SF Bay Area. Miriam earned her Fine Arts Degree (BFA) from SUNY at Buffalo, NY in '76 and initially ran and taught art programs in NYC. In '94, her journey into the healing arts began.

Miriam achieved certification as a Registered Polarity Educator (RPE) in '96 from the American Polarity Therapy Association (APTA). Shortly after, she ventured to the San Francisco Bay Area, where she received certification in massage (CMT) from the esteemed McKinnon Institute.

With a diverse range of continued training in Cranial Sacral Therapy, Chi-Nei-Tsang, Therapeutic Touch, Reflexology, Astrology, Ayurveda, and Western herbs, Miriam's expertise spans various holistic modalities. She brings over 30 years of experience to her Tarot card readings, offering profound insights and guidance.

Miriam has delved into Body-Mind Centering techniques by studying under Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, as well as exploring somatic dance practices including those of Anna Halprin, Continuum Movement, and 5-Rhythms. Her extensive background in these modalities enriches her work, allowing her to offer holistic healing and transformative experiences to her clients.

The innovative mind behind the first somatic Tarot deck, Polarity Wellness Tarot, Miriam is also the award-winning author of "Tarot and the Chakras: Opening New Dimensions to Healers.”

Driven by a desire to integrate Tarot with the body, Miriam started using the cards to support others in creating cathartic movement pieces, a practice she calls Tarot in Motion, or Dancing the Tarot. This transformative approach paved the way for her latest book, "Tarot in Motion: A Handbook to Embody Wisdom through the Cards."

Miriam Jacobs embodies a unique blend of artistic insight, healing expertise, and a profound connection to movement and Tarot. Join her on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment through her workshops and explore the wisdom that Tarot and movement can bring to your life.

After creating the “Polarity Wellness Tarot”, the first somatic Tarot deck, and writing the COVR award-winning “Tarot and the Chakras: Opening New Dimensions to Healers”, Miriam began to use the cards for supporting others to create cathartic movement pieces called Tarot in Motion. This evolved into the book, “Tarot in Motion: A Handbook to Embody Wisdom through the Cards” .

Miriam holds regular in-person and virtual Tarot in Motion classes. She offers Tarot consultations and Polarity based bodywork sessions.
