BIO:
Hello! My name is Barbara Techel. Whether you are seeking to transform the relationship with yourself or with a dear animal friend, this is what brings me joy in helping others. Embarking on a solo inward expedition to enhance your life or if you are wanting to positively shift an aspect of your connection with a pet, I help you tap into your intuitive nature, encourage you to gently listen to your heart, help you expand your perspective, and empower you to evolve into living in alignment with what matters most to your soul and live in harmony with yourself and/or with your animal friends.
I’ve been committed to my own personal growth for over twenty years now sharing much of my heart here online through my writing on my blog and the three memoirs and two children’s books I’ve published.
It was when I fully immersed myself and explored the details of a painful childhood wound I’d carried with me for over two decades that I was able to acknowledge it, integrate it, and release it. I now live with more inner freedom, clarity, grace, and most importantly, peace. And how blessed I was to have animal companions along the way as true healers and teachers to guide me.
I was able to see how my wounds, while painful, were actually a guide and a gift to my finally realizing that I’m worthy just as I AM.
I now serve as a gentle, compassionate, and empathetic intuitive mentor and certified oracle guide (kind of like a life coach who uses oracle cards!). I hold space for you as we explore past patterns that keep you stuck, where you currently are, and how you can honor your full potential moving forward with my Wisdom in the Pause Oracle Reading and Guidance Sessions. While change isn’t always easy, I know from experience that it is worth it. I listen intently and gently empower you to understand where you can make changes and then move forward with grace, clarity, and joy.
Because some of my most profound and potent shifts have come from the teachings I’ve received from the many dogs I’ve been blessed to share my life with, I also help others to deepen and expand their relationship with their animal friends through my Wisdom in the Paws Oracle Reading and Guidance Sessions.
Animal or human we each have our own thoughts, emotions, and feelings. I hold space for both you and your pet to be heard. When we pause, tune in, and listen to each other we are given the beautiful opportunity to blossom and deepen in our relationship not only to each other but with ourselves too. When our pets feel better, we feel better (and vice versa)!
I’ve written and published three memoirs:
I’m Fine Just the Way I Am – Healing Emotional Pain through the Wisdom of Animals and Oracles
Wisdom Found in the Pause – Joie’s Gift
Through Frankie’s Eyes: One woman’s journey to her authentic self, and the dog on wheels who led the way.
In them, I share my journey of first embracing my authentic self and began building my confidence, to then moving through and embracing a transitional time as an opportunity to expand and evolve into the next phase of my becoming, and then releasing and integrating the pain of a childhood wound I carried with me for over two decades which was the catalyst to have me finally realizing that I am worthy just as I am.
