INTRODUCTION

Nan O'Brien has had the ability to receive spiritual messages since she was a child. As a medium and intuitive counselor, she helps her clients achieve clarity, peace, and healing. Nan uses several spiritual “tools” to aid in her work – she is clairvoyant, meaning she “sees” images or scenes; she is clairaudient, meaning she “hears” information; she is clairsentient and empathic, meaning she senses and feels things; and, as a live medium, she channels. These gifts enable Nan to help others gain an understanding of life purpose and lessons, communicate with loved ones who have passed into Spirit, and understand direction for the future.

POLICE WORK & EVENTS

Using her gift as a medium, Nan works with families and police departments nationwide on murder and missing persons cases. Two of her latest cases involve the missing Middlebury College student, Nick Garza, as well as the ongoing investigation of missing news anchorwoman Jodi Huisentruit.


It is important to understand that Nan is not a “psychic.” Besides her work as a highly-regarded intuitive counselor and medium with thousands of clients throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and other countries, Nan speaks at public and private events, as well as appearing as a guest lecturer at universities, support groups, charities, and business organizations throughout the country.

PRIVATE LIFE

When not on tour, Nan lives with her youngest daughter, Emily, and her husband and manager, Tom, in Vermont. In her spare time, Nan appreciates a good book with a glass of red wine and long walks along the shores of Lake Champlain.

Nan lost her beloved mother in 2002 to breast cancer and maintains close contact with her eighty-two year old father, who lives in Atlanta . Her two grown sons are college students in landscape architecture in Georgia and film production in California, and her two older daughters are college students in Germany and England.
