M. Suzanne, AKA Mary Barrett, has a Master’s Degree in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. Over her 35 years in health care, she worked as a bedside nurse, a nurse practitioner, a researcher, and administrator. She also held an adjunct faculty professor in a Nursing and Allied Health program at a Philadelphia University/Medical Center.
Mary’s nursing experiences have been vast. She has been blessed to learn from her patients and families and their diverse religious and spiritual beliefs. She has been with many Souls when they made their transition from their earth journey to eternal life. She holds dear the bedside conversation, before a Souls transition, as some of her most heart-warming and memorable experiences. Mary is also an Energy Healer trained in Reiki; She has worked with a wide range of clients, including the dying, non-communicative disabled, children, adults and the Divine creatures we call pets. In, The Extricated Soul, she merges her deep Spiritual beliefs with her love for nursing into a unique and suspenseful novel.
Mary’s energy healing started right out of nursing school as she worked with Children with cancer. One day she felt an impulse to hold her hands over a child’s abdomen who was crying in pain. Within seconds she heard words of the prayer in her mind. The words were faint, and she had never heard before. As the prayer continued, she saw the child calm and quiet. Slowly Mary started to recognize, the healing energy flowing through her was a great gift. It was more than a decade later she heard of Reiki. Mary trusted in these events of being Gods use of her as a channel for healing. She did not pursue training in Reiki until the culture of energy healing pushed for training. She is blessed to say she still never has to think about how to make it happen. She trusts in God’s power to heal and lead her through the session. Throughout her life, she can see, hear, feel, and communicate with energies. She has been gifted to see auras and connect with the Soul within. Hence the name, Voice of Soul Reiki, came about. Mary prays to be a channel for God’s messages for the greater good of God and others. She believes in the Soul’s power living within us. Mary surrenders to the service of the Soul within herself and the divine connections with others.
