Josie Aprahamian

Josie has practiced Reiki since 1992 and studied healing and spirituality for decades. She has trained from the deserts to the mountains to the sea, weaving the wisdom of the natural world with profound regard for divine law and grace.

Josie is a passionate advocate of prayer and faith and believes that the path of healing always leads to the sacred. She is a faithful follower of best-selling author Caroline Myss, most inspired by her teaching that “All of life is God in disguise.” Through Caroline, she has worked with Julie Flaherty studying the Sacred Contracts course and other mystical teachings. In St. Teresa of Avila’s work, “The Interior Castle,” Josie has been guided by James Finley and Mirabai Starr. She is a devout disciple of Mirabai and Jim and Thomas Merton, Richard Rohr, Cynthia Bourgeault, and other contemporary mystics.

She is trained and experienced in holy listening, deep reflection, and discernment and versed in the wisdom teachings of many traditions. She worked for a decade in Texas and Colorado in the mental health field, including emergency crisis counseling for domestic violence victims and addiction and recovery. In addition to her spiritual direction work, Josie is a Certified Archetypal Consultant through Caroline Myss’ CMED program and the Sacred Contracts Online Course administrator. She is an Advanced Reiki Practitioner, a Licensed Massage Therapist, an Astrologer, and a Certified End-of-Life Doula. She has participated in and facilitated women’s healing circles for 20 years and has a daily practice of contemplation, prayer, spiritual reading, and gratitude. Josie is a runner and a writer and lives a mostly quiet life of devotion in a lakeside cottage in Pennsylvania with two dogs, a pony, and an assortment of tree, crow, and spirit friends.
