"Go for it! Do it!’ I believe that each of us has a message and that that message will resonate with others. Even though we all feel like we’re the only ones going through hell…. When we hear about how others overcame their struggles it strengthens our own determination and motivation. Reading their stories, helps each of us overcome our hurdles." I am Maureen Pisani, a Motivational Speaker, an Author and a Hypnotherapist. Originally from the Island of Malta, I came to this glorious country for a better future. I’ve had many ups and downs and have survived and transformed those experiences from ‘disasters’ to lessons learned. I’m at a point that between those experiences, the wisdom accrued, the education I have and the care I share result in my unique ability to help others go from existing to thriving. Originally from the Island of Malta, Maureen has been through several chapters of life. As an Author and Motivational Speaker, she utilizes her experiences to highlight how each of us has hidden strengths within us. As a Hypnotherapist, Maureen is at the Mastery level in all 4 modalities - Hypnotherapy, Therapeutic Guided Imagery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Reiki Energy work; and teaches the first three. In addition, she is the ONLY Hypnotherapist who has been a Director and Instructor in two Nationally Accredited Colleges. Because of her medical and scientific training and background, she is also the ONLY Hypnotherapist who has co-authored a research paper issued by the Neuroscience Department at UCLA. She is the Resident Therapist at the renowned Chopra Center in La Costa, San Diego, California. Maureen has authored 8 Hypnotherapy books and produced over 25 Hypnotic CDs. She is the Founder of Pro-Thrive Science-Based Hypnotherapy where she works with groups and individuals, to help them go from just surviving to truly thriving. What inspired you to write your book? I knew I connected with clients while in session, but I wanted to reach larger audiences, and build a following. A friend mentioned to me “Maureen for people to trust they need to get to know you.” I have had quite a unique life, and as you’ll see as you read the book, I’ve experienced situations regular people can’t even imagine. The book has many aspects that will connect with a variety of audiences. Yes, it’s all true. Yes, I’ve lived it all. The reason I shared so much and became so vulnerable is because when I was
going through my disasters… all I felt was ‘alone’. As a therapist that’s exactly the feeling I never want anyone else to feel. As a therapist I go above and beyond what’s expected of me to ensure that each of my clients knows I’m there for them. I take the reader through the experiences that formed me; have them go through the dark experiences to experience first-hand how deep my emotions were. Then there’s a turning point when I start sharing the lessons, the insights, the optimism. At the end of the book, I want each reader to acknowledge – if Maureen went through all that and she’s ok; then I can overcome too! Who is your audience? My audience, I expect, is primarily women, probably from their 30s and older. Ladies, who have been facing the harshness of life and by this point have a couple of dings and scratches and are wondering when it’ll get better, easier. Are you planning another book? Yes, I am planning to write another book. Technically, this is my 10th book. I have also authored 8 hypnotherapy books, and a fictional romance. My next book is going to be the benefits of hypnotherapy. It’ll be a collection of descriptions of clients’ presenting complaints, how they presented, what we did in their session, and the results they received. Each of the clients chosen, is going to include their own testimonial. Yes, it’s all legit and the clients have already given me permission to utilize their session publicly. They get to maintain anonymity in the book.

Coming 2019
Spotlight Nancy Tarr Hart, PhD Live your life knowing that you are enough— there is no one else like you and no one else who is here to do what you are here to do!
Nancy Tarr Hart, PhD has a wide and varied history of personal and professional experience with a career that encompasses working 40+ years in the worlds of business, education, and theatre. Also, an intuitive and mystic, the understanding of her spiritual gifts fully ignited in 1995 and, in 1999 she was guided by Spirit/Sophia to begin an academic journey that began with working to attain an undergraduate degree. The journey culminated in a PhD in Religious Studies with a concentration in systematic theology, feminist theory, the Divine Feminine, and Marian Studies from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in Lampeter, Wales. The author of the two-volume series entitled, Beyond the Veil Volumes 1 and 2: Unmasking the Feminine and Unraveling the Mystery of Mary, Dr. Tarr Hart is also one of the contributors to the collection of daily inspirations entitled, Empowering YOU, Transforming Lives (compiled by Rebecca Hall Gruyter). Currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the Notre Dame of Maryland University, she is an ardent fiber artist who enjoys traveling, reading, writing, gardening, and sharing her home with her cats, Kali and Bastet. My book—Volume 2 (of a two-volume series) entitled, Beyond the Veil: Unmasking the Mystery of Mary. The book series (and the doctoral thesis from which it materialized) is the outcome of a Spirit-driven chapter of my own spiritual journey. Through the sharing of findings of my doctoral research study, the reader is taken on a journey that explores the ways in which the feminine voice has been suppressed and carefully disguised in Western religious tradition in favor of the masculine. This volume (Volume 2 of the series) concentrates on Mary of Nazareth, a figure who has never been absent or eliminated from Christian teachings, as it explores her life and contributions to the world based on her own merits (as opposed to solely through the lens of her role as the mother of Jesus). It offers new insights into the mystery of Mary that unveil the image of a young Israelite woman who was chosen by God to carry out Divine will in human history and, of her own accord, was the key and essential player without whom the Christian story would not exist.
In 1999, at the age of 46, while working full time, I went to college. I earned a BA in the double majors of Religious Studies and Philosophy, summa cum laude, and then went on to earn my PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David in Lampeter, Wales. The degree was awarded in 2013—I was 60 years old when I walked across the ceremonial stage. In 2016, having taken early retirement from an administrative position at a local regional theatre, I got a call from my undergraduate alma mater asking if I was available to teach a course. I have been there ever since—am now an Assistant Professor of Philosophy. Coming full circle like this was certainly never anticipated, but is something of which I am immensely proud. Of course, publishing this book series is another success I have achieved (and of which I am also very proud!).
I look forward to creating more opportunities to share and discuss the information contained in the books.

I am growing increasingly more concerned with ONLY doing the will of the Father to holistically address the needs of His people and His creation. When I look at the things that were done in Biblical days and relate it to the history of my ancestors and others, I confirm that I am called to assist others in attaining complete wellness! I am called to continue advocating for those caring for loved ones living with Mental Health issues. Additionally, the next project I am working on will focus on late primary to middle school aged Coloured males who are at risk in communities across the U.S., its territories and the Caribbean.
