About the author
Raechel Bratnick
3 books2 followersRaechel Bratnick is an experienced spiritual teacher, healer, and dream master whose work is an integration of many spiritual disciplines.
I live in a medieval hill town in the south of Italy and have been living abroad for the past six years, ever since my husband’s death in 2008 catapulted me out of a traditional American life. Besides writing, my passion is creating theme-based workshops and retreats, drawing on poetry, dreams and creativity. I was born in Moscow, Idaho, but fulfilled my childhood dream of living in New York City. For 45 years before moving to Mexico, I lived in NYC and New Jersey.
My spiritual search began in NYC in 1976 as a student of the Pathwork of Eva Pierrakos and Dr. John Pierrakos. After five years of deep process work and helpership training, plus the birth of two daughters, I changed my career from public relations to spiritual psychotherapy and imaginal dream work. I studied with the Center for Intentional Living and in 2000 I became a nondual Kabbalistic healer and then a teacher for five years with The School for Nondual Healing and Awakening. My original career was teaching English in high school and university. Then I became a book publicist for Ballantine Books and Pinnacle Books in New York City before creating a public relations department at Barnum Communications, working in the field of medicine.When I was 38 years old, I retired from vice president to become a full time mother. Motherhood deeply opened my heart and led to my third and current career, helping individuals heal and awaken to their true essence. For the past 38 years I have had a private healing and counseling practice.
I ams the author of two books, The Likelihood of Dawn: An Intimate Journey Within and Beyond Grief, and Awakening the Dreamer, which is also available in Spanish as Despertar al Soñador.
Barbara Brennan called Awakening the Dreamer, the best primer on dream work she had seen. Kenneth Porter, MD said, "it reads like a poem from the heart."
Dani Antman calls The Likelihood of Dawn "a searing memoir...where "poignant poems, prophetic dreams and illogical synchronicities elevate the reader into a transcendent realm, where separation is an illusion."
Donna Bair-Stein says The Likelihood of Dawn is "a remarkable book, one that traverses the rocky terrain of grief with unusually keen awareness and compassion."
