As a child, Dr. Reble knew she was called to offer spiritual guidance. While helping to raise her two brothers and nine stepsiblings, she experienced strong intuitive capacities that she eventually channeled into her graduate studies and her later career in education, psychology, and spiritual teaching. In 1983, after completing her master’s degree in early childhood development and psychology at Kent State University, Dr. Reble worked as a school psychologist. At the time, fascinated by the influence of developmental, familial, and cultural issues on women and children, she designed a comprehensive therapeutic program for inspecting family of origin issue and offering social support to women with mild to severe emotional difficulties. She then resumed her graduate studies and, in 1993, received her doctorate in psychology at Kent State University.

Married and the mother of two, Dr. Reble lives in Cleveland, Ohio, and travels extensively. In recent years, she has produced Journey of the Heart, an audiocassette of guided imagery and inspirational music that opens the energetic pathways of the heart, and A Mother’s Lullaby, a CD/audiocassette designed to nourish the physical, emotional, and spiritual bonds between mother and baby.This is her first book.
