Hello, my name is Bernadette O’Donnell. It is my pleasure to welcome you to this webpage which will help you to understand my quest and drive to provide unique variety of services by my company.

Let me tell you about myself.

My first love is psychology. I taught children a program called Project Self Esteem for 5 years. The program was founded by teachers with various issues in the class, like feeling good about yourself, dealing with anger, communicating and memory games.  My favorite lessons were recognizing a bully, which led me to point out how much the bully didn’t like himself. The children also loved the anger management techniques, like writing everything down you are mad about, and ripping it up! 
My second love is health. Life pushed me right into it powerfully when I went code blue in the emergency room due to a reaction to antibiotics. My electrolytes dropped and I reacted with a grand mal seizure. I went into a coma for 3 days.  I couldn’t feel my body, just light and love all around me. I was surrounded by many but couldn’t make out any faces. After 3 days of heaven I was sent back; after all I had 4 children. One which was only 2 months old and her name happened to be Hope. I got out of the hospital and felt debilitated. I had to get stronger

I had broken two lumbars in my back and had trouble breathing. When my accountant did my taxes she asked me to come to a Healing Circle.  I said anything that could help me heal faster. It brought up a lot of healing in my back and other areas of my life. It was helping me to know myself in a deeper level, understand my emotions, create wellness in my body and mind. Now I hold monthly healing circles which include guided imagery, and relaxation techniques.

I was given a book by Louise Hay called, You Can Heal Your Life.  She believes that disease can be healed, if we are willing to change the way we think, believe and act. She gives problems in her book like headache, backache, neck problems,  and points out a probable cause with a new thought pattern. I became intrigued with this and started to look at my own body whenever I had an issue.  Another book called Feelings Buried Alive by Karol Truman seemed to go into a deeper sense of the probable causes. I began to notice frustration and other feelings that made sense to me in listening to my body.

While getting a Massage I would question why some parts of my body would be sensitive, ache or have pain. Memories would come up as I relaxed and healing would happen.
I realized that my body carries extreme intelligence and I could be conscious or unconscious of it.  Being unconscious can be pretty abrupt when you ignore your body.

I explored my emotions. I noticed when I would laugh my body felt good. One time I was conscious of my body releasing a whole bunch of anger coming out from my stomach, up my throat and up to the ceiling.  I had gotten angry in the morning but later started belly laughing. I felt a rush of heavy energy leave my body as I laughed.  I felt totally relieved and free again.

  • When I have fear it seats either in my chest, stomach, or below my belly button. 
    I start having lymph issues, stomach indigestion or intestinal problems.
  • When I have joy I feel free flowing and peaceful in my body. Everyone around me benefits.
  • When I have anger or frustration, my head seems to tighten with my jaw, my blood contracts, my body tenses. How uncomfortable for the body.

So I know the more I strive for peace and joy in my life the more my body responds with happiness of good lymph, easy elimination, relaxed healthy blood flow, good digestion and harmony in my body.

I noticed that my body is an amazing tool that changes chemistry as my thinking changes. 

The more I noticed any grievances, irritation or un comfortableness I would have, I could say, “ Oh here is an opportunity to heal.”

Being gentle and loving to my body pays big dividends.
