Vice President, Public Relations - Mary Ellen Rayner
Early in 1995, Mary Ellen left a career as a division manager for an international corporation to search the healing arts for a path that would satisfy her concerns about family genetics, including cancer and heart disease. In the course of these explorations, she achieved a Master of Science Degree in Natural Health focusing on the mastery of creating essential oil blends and also studied Adaptive Mechanisms, CranioSacral Therapy, Integrated Awareness and Zero Balancing.
She has held a lifelong interest in sacred geometry and mysticism. Upon participating in the Flower of Life workshops, she immediately recognized the powerful tools they provide that would help others explore their unlimited potential for healing and embrace their inherent gifts celebrating life.
Joining the TEI team in 2005, Mary Ellen manages the everyday activities of the virtual office along with facilitating all of the national and international scheduling for Maureen's classes. She enjoys collaborating with local workshop hosts and each participant to coordinate a successful and rewarding event for all.
In 2006 Mary Ellen received a formula for a specific blend in a dream and realized it was to be given to each of the men and women who were traveling to France and Spain on the Mary Magdalene Sacred Journey. Ultimately, this blend was used in an initiation ceremony in a cave deep in the Pyrenees and became 'Bethany'. This was the beginning of a new line of essential oil blends named AroMandalas™. These unique combinations are specifically developed as companions to Maureen's meditation CDs, sacred journeys, workshops and books to enhance and portray in essence the experience of transformational growth using the tools of TEI. Realizing her passion in these creations, she continues to work closely with her guides and the TEI Team to explore the expansion of AroMandalas Essential Oil Blends.
