My purpose is inspired by PAWS (wings, hooves, scales & fins too)! They are my guides that continue to teach me the importance of PAUSING often, LISTENING deeply, and TRUSTING my intuition in order to live a meaningful life that is in alignment with my true self, nature, and all beings.
Welcome!
My name is Barbara Techel, but you can call me Barb. I’m an Intuitive Oracle Guide for People & Animals, Artist, creator of the Animal Reflections Healing Oracle deck, and author of three nonfiction books and two children’s books about the heart-expanding & life-changing wisdom I’ve gained from the animal world.
As an HSP (highly sensitive person), I believe when we do the inner work and lovingly tend to our gifted sensitivities, while also gently caring and acknowledging our tender emotional wounds not only does it create more peace within ourselves, it causes a ripple effect that leads to more harmony and peace for all beings.
Through my Intuitive Oracle Reading & Mentoring Sessions I hold compassionate space and reflection for:
- People to connect to their Wise Inner Self and align with their True Essence – a space to be seen and heard along with gentle and supportive guidance.
- People & their Animal Companions – a space to deepen in relationship and understanding with their animal friends, an opportunity for each to be seen and heard, with gentle and supportive guidance.
Shining a light on what you are feeling so you can truly see is one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself and your animal friends!
To learn more about my intuitive readings, animal-themed oracle deck, books, animal art, and free gifts, feel free to check out all my offerings here. To stay connected I’d welcome you to join my Substack community below.
XO,
Barb

Receive insightful reflections and updates from Joyful Pause Cottage studio – my 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 offer intuitive readings for people and animals via zoom, create art, write, and ponder all the many facets of life.
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!
