About Us
Hello My name is Jo Anne...................
I would like to have you
get to know me a little better and tell you how I arrived at the Center
for Divine Intuition. This website has been a dream of mine for many years.
I have always been impressed to reach out to the world . The Center for
Divine Intuition is my way of reaching out to you to support you in your
spiritual developmental quest. I would like to support your progress. Instead
of seeing struggles and suffering as permanent fixtures in your life, I
support you in changing the old patterns that are limiting to you and open
the door to your unlimited creative potential. The old patterns can become
challenges that can be overcome. You can have peace and serenity and success.
It is a choice you have this moment in this lifetime.
May each one who visits this
website be blessed with the spirit of aloha ,courage to follow your heart
and create your dreams .
Through my own process using
many of the tools and skills that I offer on this website, I have been
able to make dreams into reality. I am living my life dream of being a
universal world citizen with my home base in the beautiful, healing Hawaiian
Islands. My journey has been filled with doubt, triumph challenges, blessings,
wonderful people, animals and scared places of the world. Each of which
have been my teachers delivering gifts of spirit and sacred reflection.
On my pathway, I sometimes
felt alone without answers. I had to trust my faith in the Divine, learn
self reliance and know within my heart that the darkness I was experiencing
would have a turning point that would allow the Light to break through
once again.
Included is my picture and
the pictures of my animal friends that made my
life a joy through their love, patience. loyalty and courage.
My animal spirit friends
were a cat named Yoda and a dog named Baxter. Yoda was a wonderful being,
just like Master Yoda, wise, patient, loving and could use the Force to
communicate when he didn't like something or to teach. He was my dear,
friend and soul connected companion. He was twenty three when he passed
over. I have missed him so much and he is still with me in Spirit.
Baxter was so beautiful and
I believe was born to bring healing to all those he encountered. Everyone
who saw him wanted to pet him and say hello. He seemed to know his mission
in this life time. He would prance and actually smile much of the time.
He taught me about courage, loyalty, patience and humor. Also, how to get
your way with pleading eyes, especially when Begging Bacon. He brought
out the child in me . Both of these beings instructed me in the art of
loving acceptance. I am honored to have them choose me in this lifetime.
Here then is my story:
I have a Ph.D. in Counseling
Psychology and Master's Degree in Public Policy. I am a nationally recognized
Certified Professional Coach, Registered/Certified Clinical hypnotherapist,
college professor, therapist, ordained minister and author.
My childhood was richly endowed
with Celtic influences. I was born into a long line of mystical, intuitive
and psychic women of Irish decent. My grandmother was from County Clare,
Ireland and she was my first spiritual teacher.
Following the heritage of
my genetic predisposition of intuitive/psychic Celtic women, I was born
with what the Irish call Second Sight. At the age of three, I began demonstrating
these talents with my ability to see auras, communicate with the unseen
and those that have passed over to the other side. This was an acceptable
talent in my family and honored.
My grandmother and mother
were gifted intuitives with psychic abilities, as was my father and his
father. Both men were adept in the use of healing herbs. Healing potions
were used in my family in times of illness along with traditional medical
practices. The family's given Celtic name for me was Siobhan which means
"the Lord is gracious" in Gallic .
From an early age, I learned
to hide my intuitive gifts from adults outside the family and other children
for fear of being ostracized. I knew I was different. I had a deep desire
to be "normal" like my playmates. To that end, my life on the outside began
to parallel the normal American lifestyle along with the paranormal life
I lived at home.
My grandmother was a medium,
card, coffee and tea reader. She was also my first spiritual teacher. The
encouragement I received, to seek out a traditional education while
cultivating my initiative senses was directly due to my grandmother's love
and guidance. As I grew older, I knew I had to find a pathway that would
incorporate the two worlds I lived within. The mystical world of spirit
and the academic world of education .
There were many teachers
along the way who were mediums, psychics and spiritual guides. My last
teacher was also my longest teacher. 197l began a fourteen year shamanic
training journey into Native American mysticism led by my Navajo teacher
who told me the day of our meeting that he had been sent by the Ancients
to be my teacher. He had a profound influence on my life. Through his teachings,
I found the balance and self reliance to bring forth my gifts to
the world. In his loving way, he taught me that I was born to be a Shaman.
I began giving readings to
people and groups. By 1978 this drew people from Europe, Israel and America.
My pathway has always been
twofold. The bridge between the two worlds was found in the science of
psychology which led me into private clinical practice, as well as hypnotherapy,
coaching and teaching at colleges. This field allowed me to incorporate
the skills gained from the Celtic family of my ancestry, the Shaman I became,
the gifts from my many teachers and traditional education with the healing
modality of psychotherapy.
The intuitive training seminars
I have developed has supported hundreds of people in developing their psychic
and creative abilities.

voyage and adventure in creating your own center of divine intuition. |
