Welcome!

My name is Barb Techel. Creator of the Animal Reflections Healing Oracle deck and author of three memoirs and two children’s books about the life-changing wisdom I’ve gained from the animal world.

I believe we all deserve to be seen, heard, and held in compassion. And when we do the inner work to heal it creates a ripple effect that leads to more harmony and peace for all beings and the planet.

Through my Intuitive Oracle Readings for People & Pets I offer supportive and compassionate guidance to deepen your connection to animals, yourself, and the planet.

My Animal Reflections Healing Oracle deck!

Animals, whether they’re in the wild or sharing our home, often serve as loving and compassionate reflections of what we need to acknowledge, change, expand, or heal within ourselves.

Animal Reflections Healing Oracle will guide you to honor all aspects of yourself and step fully into your inner sage. The timeless wisdom of the animals depicted in this 52-card deck invites you to go within and gently observe past patterns, trust in your intuitive self, and emerge to live in alignment with your truth.

Use in oracle spreads, in daily meditations, or when seeking guidance and insight into life’s deeper questions.

Available in Print and Digital Format.

Lovely Praise for the deck:

Barbara Techel is a wonderful, heart-centered human, and you can feel her loving energy throughout every card in this deck and guidebook. Each time I’ve pulled a card, it has been exactly the animal and guidance my soul needed to pivot into a higher frequency.

These beautiful oracle cards are primed and ready to expedite your healing, and are certain to get you back in your heart to reach a new level of awareness. They are an exemplary tool to be utilized time and time again to embrace and reveal the best version of ourselves.

Great for Retreats!

I had several decks at a recent art and writing retreat I co-led in Vermont. My angel cards, a fun art oracle deck, my Motherpeace tarot deck, and a deck of Animal Reflection Healing Oracle cards recently released by my friend Barb Techel.
 
I introduced the decks and how to use them, and everyone gravitated to the Animal Reflections Healing Oracle deck. Right away the cards seemed to speak to something everyone needed. Every day, the animal deck delivered new insights that gave us goosebumps and a sense of being connected to something greater.
 
I’m so glad I followed my instinct to bring Barb’s deck to the retreat. I shared Barb’s website, and participants ordered the Animal Reflections Healing Oracle right away. Now I know to include these decks in the goody bag for future retreats. It was like having Barb and her wisdom, kindness, compassion and creativity there with us.

  MY BOOKS

It was seeing myself through the reflection of my dog, Gidget, that allowed me to open to parts of myself I had never allowed myself to look at before. When I look back, I believe deep in my heart, and with what I’ve come to understand about energy, that she had taken on the energy of my childhood wounding I’d kept buried all these years.

I realized how we often project our emotional needs onto our pets and cause them needless suffering. The fact that this is often done subconsciously only makes it more deserving of serious thought and consideration. We are here to learn the lessons that will help our souls evolve, and many animals agree to facilitate this journey. Helping us to see our deeper selves is the true essence of their teachings.

CHILDREN’S BOOKS

  

My mission is inspired by PAWS (wings, hooves, scales & fins too!) who taught me the importance to PAUSE often, tune into my intuition, and listen to my heart in order to heal past wounds and live an authentic life and one in alignment with nature and all beings.

LET’S STAY IN TOUCH!

Receive inspiration and updates from my little corner of the world and what I call my Joyful Pause Cottage – a 10 x 12 olive green studio a labor of love built by my husband that sits off the southeast corner of my deck where I write, create, and offer oracle card readings via Zoom.

One of my favorite things to share in my updates is insights into the wisdom of animals and how they profoundly impact our lives in a positive way — this is what really lights me up!

I also share perspectives from my life as someone who strives to live a simple, yet meaningful life, and one connected with Mother Nature and the Animal Kingdom. I also share updates about my latest books, newest works of art, and upcoming classes. 

It is always my hope to be an inspiration and a beacon of light so that we can all live inspired lives and shine brightly!
