Deborah Berry is a spiritual coach whose approach integrates consciousness and healing, offering a seasoned understanding of inner trust and expanded awareness through creativity, nature, and intuitive insight.
I was born in Brighton, England, in 1962 and raised in Australia. I now live in the United States. My life has unfolded across many landscapes — outer and inner — each decade shaping how I listen, perceive, and meet the world.
From an early age, I experienced life through heightened sensitivity. By my teenage years, meditation, energy awareness, and direct perception felt natural to me, long before these ideas had language or structure. They weren’t practices I adopted — they were ways of being.
As a teenager, I worked closely with neglected and abused horses, intuitively supporting their rehabilitation. In my late twenties, a dream revealed how deeply my own past had been shaped by trauma — and helped me understand why empathy and attunement came so naturally. That early sensitivity to trust, nonverbal communication, and energy continues to shape how I listen to people, to spaces, and to what remains unspoken.
In 1986, my life changed forever when my son drowned. Eleven years later — on the same day, date, and time — I survived a serious car accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. That convergence reshaped my relationship with time, grief, and consciousness, and became a turning point in how I understand resilience and presence.
Following my son Lee’s death, I experienced direct communication with him that altered my understanding of love and continuity beyond the physical body. These moments weren’t sought or imagined — they arrived, and over time became woven into how I perceive reality and support others through profound life transitions.
My inner life has included vivid dreams, intuitive knowing, and experiences that expanded my sense of awareness. Rather than separating these from everyday life, I learned to ground them — allowing perception to inform presence rather than overwhelm it.
My professional path has been varied and unconventional. I’ve worked in the creative industries, taught art and therapeutic programs in correctional facilities and women’s refuges, studied psychology, grief, and trauma, and trained as a Feng Shui practitioner and healer. For more than thirty years, I’ve supported individuals navigating major life transitions through private sessions, creative workshops, and immersive retreats.
I’m an artist, poet, and former singer, with a background in broadcasting and audio production. My work is grounded in lived experience, presence, and perception — not formulas or fixes.
At Retreat of Dreams, I create spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with embodied awareness, and return to what is honest and essential — in their own time, and in their own way.
In all that I have endured and survived, one thing continues to remain with me —
nothing, and no one, is ever quite as they appear.
Life has a way of shaping our personal stories, often masking the truth of who we are.
It is here that I discovered the brightest light in the darkest dark.
This light dances in the shadows, gently illuminating a path beyond this reality — a path that is tangible and real. It reveals beauty and wonder where we least expect them, and reminds us that love and grace are never far away.
If these words speak to something within you, I invite you to join me at Retreat of Dreams. Come sit with me. Slow down. Listen deeply. Together, we will step into that quiet space where truth softens and what matters most begins to reveal itself.
I have seen some of the best life coaches in the business. Deborah is by far the best and most versatile.
Deborah mentally prepared me to open my new medical practice. She was also dedicated to helping me reach my personal goals to overcome a troublesome childhood. She has helped me be more balanced and address anxiety from a unique perspective. I highly recommend her.

One Session of Hypnosis, Anxiety, and Panic Attacks Never Returned!
I told Deborah about my panic attacks and the horrible 24-hour anxiety before having to hold my eyes closed during an eyelash treatment. After a 5-minute Hypnosis Instruction (over the phone) minutes before my treatment, the panic attacks and anxiety disappeared. They never returned!
