Vera Porter was born in rural Saskatchewan, Canada. As a young adult, moved to Toronto where she followed a twenty-year career path in business including London, England and New York City. A second career began after completing a Master’s Degree in Education, teaching in the Public School System and Waldorf Schools for the next twelve years. Vera developed a passion for Energy Medicine and in 2001 trained to the level of Reiki Master and Integrated Energy Therapy, Master-Instructor. This period included conducting workshops, providing treatments and training in both modalities including at a federal penitentiary for women. In 2004, she embarked on a Doctorate in Theology at Holos University Graduate Seminary, with a specialty area of Energy Medicine, completing this work in 2008. Her dissertation entitled, “Reiki: Effects on Anxiety and Depression” was peer-reviewed and published in 2012.

After writing a series of articles for Sarah Westall’s site, Business Game Changers, she compiled them into this book format. The subjects draw on personal experiences, studies, observations and opinions centered on spiritual growth and our greater potential even in current challenging times.
