Oriah’s story is no more traumatic or less traumatic than the average North American woman. No matter the education, or the culture, the upbringing...violence is violence. Whether it is behind the doors of your own home, or in the streets with a perpetrator, many women are targets. After years of battling early pregnancy, drugs, alcohol, every form of abuse, her self worth was gone. Diagnosed with PTSD so many times, she
stopped
counting,
medication didn’t work, she felt
herself
slipping….emotionally and mentally. She felt she was going crazy. By the time she was 33 she had 5 children and lived in over 30 cities. She was on her 4th husband...and she knew that her lifestyle was going to kill her, her body was shutting down. At the end of her rope, she had been going to Transformational seminars and workshops for the last 6 years of her marriage, and it helped her realize that she had value and she had a voice. That until now, no one ever listened to anything she ever
had to say because she was considered herself a reject of society.She managed to learn the film business through her and her husband’s work as filmmakers, and they raised five children. It was very difficult to say the least. The children were very upset and anxious, and every day was a challenge, so she continued drinking. By the time she left him at 38 years old, she had suffered serious alcohol poisoning that almost killed her. She was concerned that she was losing her sanity from her difficult life and anger had consumed her. When she finally left her then husband, she lived on her earnings from her entrepreneurial job as a internal marketing company. She moved from house to house, room to room, taking her children wherever she went when they were with her. Through her marketing company, she met husband number five, a psychic medium from New York. She finally began a relationship that was not only healthy but thriving. Healing her wounds from the past she released her beliefs of gender roles and learned how to connect human to human, not only man to woman. Barbara’s family had given up on her years before, so she moved again to start a new life, changed her name to Oriah, and began studying world religions to gain new perspectives. During
her
husband’s
channeling psychic circles, she began listening to the powerful words of wisdom every week
and meeting many people. From her new perspective, her eyes began to open to the deep sadness and anger many people carried. She was now able to see others not from her own hostility, but from compassion and love. She detoxified her body, mind and spirit for 3 years after which, she started a new career in life coaching, it was the natural stage as she wanted to help others who were desperate. Because she had wanted to attempt suicide, and was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder so many times that it became a joke. She tried antianxiety medication, and didn't like it, so she stopped after 6 weeks. Her valuable experiences and history helped form who she is today. Her passion and dedication to helping people not succumb to mental illness and depression was unmeasured. She did not want to see others go through what she went through, and she knew education was key. Not from a university, but from Awareness and knowing that anyone can choose their reality and turn their life around from the inside out. She began a mission to help women, especially, find inner peace, through her own dedication and transformation. She shared her views and insights and began changing lives. Oriah and her husband opened their home to the public and moved to Malibu in 2012. Since then, they have received over 2000 visitors a year, not including many private clients as well. Oriah’s clients blossomed. She herself had experienced domestic violence, as she was violently raped multiple times. She started to realize that everything she had experienced in her life was not in vain, and she was going to show others, especially women in domestic violent
arenas how to overcome and heal their wounds and create their lives anew. Now she knew she could help many, many people in the world because of her story and miraculous personal transformation. She has dreamed big, but her dream isn't stopping there. Now that her children are 22 to 8 years old and surrounded by a loving, caring family committed to their growth and success, she has begun the quest to reach as many women and men as possible through BEEN THERE the documentary. So far there has been an extraordinary outpouring of love and support to make this film happen.
She has a passion for the injustices inner city women face, and for human rights and education for all. She is a powerful speaker and storyteller, and her intensive interventions have changed hundreds and hundreds of people’s lives.
BEEN THERE the documentary will capture the spirit of her story, the success stories of other women and how they overcame their demons, the key moment when they chose to ‘live’ and be free. She will speaking to women in shelters and educating and enlightening these valuable women, they are our sisters, our friends our mothers. They are women like us, with a voice that needs to be heard. One Voice Can Help Others Find Theirs.
