Hi, I’m Branwen!
It’s wonderful to meet you. Many years ago, my mom’s mom met my dad at a new age book store in Leavenworth, WA. She introduced him to my mom and a few years later I arrived on the scene. My dad named me Branwen after a Welsh goddess and his research into connections between the Tarot and the Celtic Ogham Tree Alphabet.
My childhood had its fair share of trauma and I am a huge advocate of mental health awareness. In fact, this business has risen out of my dad’s passing (read more below). I see my own therapist regularly in addition to working with teachers in my spiritual community. I am not a licensed mental health provider and encourage all clients to work with a professional in addition to myself if they are exploring their shadows in life.
I love learning new things, analyzing them deeply, and then letting all of that brain work melt into pure intuition and creativity. I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics, a 20+ year career in competitive Irish dancing, and more hobbies than I can count.
I’m a Pisces Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Leo Rising!
The best teachers surround themselves with their own mentors and community. I am blessed to have a wealth of people supporting my esoteric journey on multiple fronts (tarot, astrology, somatic movement, yoga, and more!). If you enjoy working with me, you will enjoy these teachers as well. Please visit their websites to see current offerings and events.

Honoring Alan Schaub
True Will Studio began as True Will Astrology under my father, Alan Schaub. Tragically, he chose to leave Earth on February 28th, 2025 under a Pisces New Moon. This timing aligned with his second Saturn return, and my first.
It is an honor to continue my father’s work in my own way, and I am blessed to feel his loving presence guiding me forward on my esoteric journey.
Please enjoy our one and only podcast episode where we talk about our shared placement of Saturn in Pisces.
I love you, Dad.
“It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Alan, a devoted father and husband, a cherished brother, and a dear friend and counselor to so many, including the youth in our community. He was a healer, a mentor, and an empath, always offering a compassionate heart and a wise, inquisitive mind to those in need. A true wizard and sage, he had a beautiful light that shined brightly, touching everyone around him and making the world better with his presence. His gentle-hearted nature, creativity, and unwavering love made him a pillar of strength for his family, friends, and clients. Alan worked in mental health as a counselor and also brought enlightenment to those in his community. He had a heart for those around him, and our community will miss him in his absence. Anyone who had the great honor of having him as their counselor will tell you he helped them get through some of the most difficult times in their lives with grace and healing. Alan held a space of safety—emotionally and physically—giving people the opportunity to be vulnerable and share intimacies and their difficulties like no one else could. Alan had so many gifts that he shared with all who came upon his path.”
