About Dr. DeeAnna Merz Nagel

Welcome! I’m DeeAnna, and I’m honored you’re here.

My path as a soul-centered professional has taken many forms over the years—psychotherapist, coach, intuitive guide, energy healer. Today, I’m called to focus on mentoring and professional consultation for fellow practitioners—those who serve others through therapy, coaching, energy work, and spiritual care.

While I’m no longer seeing new personal clients for one-on-one sessions, my work remains deeply rooted in guiding others to integrate depth, meaning, and soul into their own healing practices. Whether through supervision, training, or collaborative exploration, I support therapists, coaches, and healers in expanding their interior landscape and showing up fully for the people they serve.

My passion for transformation is personal. It grew from my own lived experience—navigating childhood trauma, managing primary lymphedema, and living with sarcoidosis. These chapters in my story became the compost for my purpose: to walk alongside others on their path to embodiment, grace, and soul-aligned service.

I draw inspiration from psychospiritual and metaphysical traditions. My toolkit includes oracle cards, essential oils, subtle energy work, moon rituals, and contemplative writing. I believe in the healing power of symbol, synchronicity, and sacred story.

Outside of work, I’m a cat-loving, crystal-collecting admirer of beautiful things—bone china teacups, doilies, flamingos, Byzantine icons, and Victorian lamps. My life is a mosaic of sacred and whimsical, grounded and mystical. I’m often referred to as the “Practical Pixie.”

If you’re a practitioner seeking depth, guidance, or simply a kindred spirit on this wild and holy journey, I’d love to connect.
