Why the Octopus?
The octopus doesn’t force — it feels. It moves with intelligence, protection, fluidity, and intuition. Each arm in this deck is a symbolic gesture toward the parts of you (or your clients) that need tending. With every card, you reach toward regulation, clarity, compassion, or rest.
Use the Deck to:
Begin or end therapy/coaching sessions
Support emotional resourcing or unburdening work
Create mini-rituals for grounding or transition
Guide meditation, movement, or reflection
Spark journal prompts, group shares, or visual focus
Anchor parts in Self-energy and sensory safety
Behind the Deck: The Birth of the Octopus Setup Spot™
This deck didn’t start as a product — it began as a sensation, a wish, and a moment of deep trust in the body’s wisdom.
In one of the most powerful sessions of my healing journey, Joseph Chan held space with such reverence that my system offered me a symbol I couldn’t ignore:
An octopus, vast, fluid, and tender, appeared in my mind’s eye as I whispered,
“I wish I had 8 arms… so I could reach all the places that hurt and soothe them at the same time.”
Joseph didn’t dismiss it. He trusted it. He invited me to follow it — to let the octopus guide my process.
And from that moment, this deck began to take shape.
Each card is a whisper from that inner wisdom. Each arm is an invitation to reach toward yourself with presence, compassion, and power.
This video shares the story behind the deck, the healing that shaped it, and the sacred honor I feel in bringing it to you now.
With deep gratitude to Joseph Chan, to the octopus energy, and to every part of me that reached out that day… may this deck reach toward you in return.
