Desmond Raftery MPS, MSW, LCSW, ACCHT

I am Irish by birth, American by citizenship, a spiritual teacher and healer by Divine ordination.  I have spent most of my adult life as a spiritual guide, teacher and psychotherapist.  I have worked in Ireland, England, Wales and Nigeria, West Africa over the past four decades.  I have always been interested in spirituality and have been given many opportunities to learn from great teachers.  My best teachers however are those people that I have been most privileged to companion in their life challenges.  What I am learning from all of my own life experiences is that each moment is filled with the magnificence of the Divine and learning to attune and pay attention to these great unfolding divine moments is my continued life ambition. 

My greatest inner resource is my connection to the Divine.  I am learning each day to appreciate myself and all the circumstances in my life.  What makes me a good teacher, healer and counselor is that I am still in re-creation mode and I am growing in and through the companionship that I have with my wife, my family, my friends,  my work and my relationship to the Divine.  All of these make me the best of who I am even when I am not feeling my best.  I am still evolving into God.  I love my life and I love to serve.
