About Teacher & Author Deborah Flanagan

Activate Spiritual Strategies for Career Confidence

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you could only break past those things that were holding you back?

Hi, I’m Deborah Flanagan, and I believe that women are more successful when they lean into their innate gifts and abilities.

While so many other people are telling you what you “should” do to release stress or achieve success, I firmly believe you already possess the inner wisdom to know what’s best for you.

I established the Center for True Health in New York City in 2008 to help you tap into this.

As a quantum healer and hypnotist with a unique intuitive approach, I’ve guided thousands of women like you from around the world over the past 15+ years.

I offer spiritual strategies to help you access your Inner Goddess Mindset for career success, so that you can break free and live confidently.

I created my Soul-Powered Method because I believe that by connecting with your spiritual or best self, whatever that means to you, you’ll be able to magnify your presence and confidently step into your power, which ultimately allows you to make a greater impact in your career and the rest of your life.

The fact that you’re still reading this means you’re ready to say goodbye to overwhelm and self-doubt, so you can navigate your career and personal life with clarity, ease, and grounded confidence.

I look forward to connecting with you!

A Few Extra Fun Facts About Me:

Before I became your go-to Soul Healing Guide, I spent 15+ years in the nonprofit world, leading the charge as the Director of Development for some pretty amazing arts organizations and raising more than $50 million: Places like SummerStage in Central Park, Paul Taylor Dance Company, and the Academy of American Poets.
Yep, I know a thing or two about creativity and passion!
I’m an award-winning poet! My book, Or, Gone (Tupelo Press, 2015) won a poetry prize, and my work has been in literary journals such as AGNI, The Gettysburg Review, and Ploughshares.
So, if you need a little lyrical magic, I’ve got you covered!
Once upon a time, I was a ballet dancer, leaping across the stage in all manner of tutus and tights with Southern Ballet Theatre.
I even got to teach ballet to under-resourced elementary school kids and perform in the “Nutcracker” approximately 7,000 times (maybe a slight overstatement to explain why I still can’t listen to the ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy!’“).
My background gives me a special lens through which I view well-being—one that understands both the language and silence of the body. I truly believe my work is a dance between matter and spirit.
I’ve dedicated thousands of hours (just ask my husband!) to various healing arts—from Reiki to polarity therapy, astrology to aromatherapy, homeopathy to herbal medicine because I LOVE learning—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
As a long-time student of Dr. & Master Sha, for me, soul healing isn’t just a practice; I truly believe that it’s the secret sauce for aligning with my center and embodying true health. And guess what? I’m here to empower you to do the same!

Discover How My Soul-Powered Method Changed the Lives of These High-Achieving Women

I had my first session and I already feel a world of difference. If you work with Deborah, be prepared for change. I saw her for help with relationship issues I’ve dealt with my entire life. She was thorough and compassionate, and helped me realize how out of sync those traits are with who I am today. That they were learned behaviors that I no longer needed. A total game changer.

Deborah is just amazing. She helped me by targeting the issue and having me try different methods to shift things as they are happening as well as methods to chip away at the false beliefs when I’m out of the situation and not feeling so vulnerable. Basically, Deborah has helped me “learn to catch my own fish” which helps me feel empowered and hopeful. She is absolutely wonderful at what she does and I will definitely continue to work with her to tweak whatever else comes up. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

One of the most incredible experiences – Deborah has had such a profound impact on my well being – I’d recommend her to anyone. I worked with her on a specific phobia that was embarrassingly prohibiting me from certain things in life. With her help, not only am I over my phobia, but she also helped me with a much smaller fear of flying.

The other wonderful side effect from our work together is that I feel generally relaxed and calm – I haven’t experienced the feelings of anxiety or stress in the same way since seeing her. I cannot recommend her enough!

Life changing are the two words that come to mind when I think of Deborah Flanagan and the Center for True Health. I was a smoker for 30 years. What struck me most about Deborah was her calm and positive energy. After 90 minutes of life-affirming, confidence-building, and soul-healing experiences, I felt rested and light as air. I am proud to say that I haven’t smoked since that session.

My first three days were difficult as the nicotine left my body but Deborah gives you self-hypnosis techniques that help get through the cravings. Interestingly, I no longer think of myself as a smoker. It doesn’t even occur to me to have a cigarette. Even during stress, I rely upon my self-hypnosis tool kit to get pass those moments. I have returned for my second session and about to schedule my third. I’ve happily recommended Deborah to many family, friends and co-workers. I knew I had to spread the word so others can benefit from her incredible skill, energy and influence. if I can do it, anyone can!

The breakthrough sessions completely opened me up to feelings I had never experienced before, and helped me have incredible realizations. I have never felt more in touch with myself. Deborah is an exceptional healer.

I was new to this work and was immediately put at ease by Deborah’s disarming and beautiful persona. I was amazed at how much I could feel throughout, and how much I felt my energy coursing through me and radiating out of me afterwards. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

My 13-year-old son was having testing and competition performance anxiety and I can’t recommend Deborah highly enough. He incorporated the EFT and visualization into his life, and a couple of weeks after his Hypnotherapy sessions he placed 2nd in an international tournament, which was his best competition placing to date.

I will even admit my son was not totally onboard with the process prior to his appointments. However, Deborah has such an amazing calm presence and she talked through all of the Self-Hypnosis exercises in such a clear way that he walked away feeling very positive and excited. I know that we will return for more sessions!
