Dr. Brannen describes herself as a seeker of the goddess within and the mysteries of the deeper world. She is deeply connected to the Witch Mother, Hekate. Her quest to understand both have led her through studies in comparative religion, mythology, gender analysis, and feminist scholarship. Along the way, she has gained expertise in many areas of spirituality and witchcraft, including meditation, herbalism, energetic healing, shamanic techniques, tarot reading, and mediumship. She is a healer, medical intuitive and practicing witch. 

Dr. Brannen holds an earned doctorate in applied social psychology and years of study of depth psychology.

Her training in Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (including Mindfulness Based CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches is woven throughout the courses she teaches.
