Deborah Sandella has been helping others find themselves for over 25 years as a psychotherapist.  It wasn't until she journeyed half way around the world on a personal sabbatical to Australia that she realized she had become more aware of her client's feelings than her own. Her life-changing Walkabout spawned a personal transformation that inspired her to write her award-winning book and guided-intuitive meditation CD, Releasing the Inner Magician, Volume One .   She has been called a "master healer" by well-known author, Joan Borysenko Ph.D., and visionary physician Larry Dossey writes, "Dr. Sandella offers a practical, down-to-earth method of realizing the immense potential that lives within everyone." Currently, she assists Jack Canfield, Chicken Soup co-author, at his annual 7-day seminars.

Deborah began her career in the early 70's by creating and managing two innovative programs which successfully treated acutely ill psychiatric clients in their local community rather than sending them off to a psychiatric hospital. She was recognized for developing extremely creative programs that effectively cut length of stays from 2-3 weeks down to 3-4 days and allowed families to become intimately involved in the treatment of their loved ones.

Dr. Sandella has been acknowledged with numerous professional awards, and honored by her peers as "Outstanding Clinical Specialist," and received the "Research Excellence" Award for her doctoral dissertation funded by the Colorado Hospital Association. She recently received an EVVY "Best Personal Growth Book" Award, and her prosperity curriculums were employed successfully by thousands of people.

Deborah has a Masters degree in Psychiatric Nursing and a Doctorate degree in Human Communication. She also has been an assistant professor at the University of Colorado. Her greatest gift is the ability to combine her adept professional skills with her own keen intuitive abilities. Using her own lessons as a mother, wife, and seeker, she teaches how to use one's intuition to live a balanced and happy life amidst the chaos of everyday activity.

In 1993, Deborah began giving personal growth workshops and seminars in New Mexico and Colorado. Since that time, her retreats have expanded to Australia, Costa Rica, and Chile. She is a master weaver of gentle, yet profoundly transformative learning experiences, and highly values the Chinese proverb, "Tell me and I may listen, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I will do it."

Synthesizing Ericksonian Hypnosis, Interactive Guided-Imagery, and Somatic Therapy, Deborah is a pioneer in using methods that break the mind body barrier.   Her Inner Magician books, CDs, workshops, and individual sessions harness our innate intuitive powers for healing emotional pain and physical illness. In fact, recent research found that her book and CD when used regularly over 8 weeks can significantly reduce hallmark symptoms of stress-related illness, especially Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
