About Michele

Michele Longo O’Donnell is a health care provider, minister and spiritual counselor. In 1965 Michele became a registered nurse and went on to complete two years of undergraduate work at Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio. There she devoted several years to the pediatric intensive care, emergency room and coronary care units.

In 1970 her second daughter was born premature with respiratory and cardiac complications that required frequent resuscitations for several months. Due to oxygen deprivation she incurred, her mental status was compromised, and she was diagnosed with severe mental retardation. That situation led Michele to study the Bible, as well as the healing works of Jesus and to find her place in it all. She began to experience many spontaneous healings during those first years, but of greatest impact was the healing of her daughter, who is today married, a mother of two lovely children, and an assistant Attorney General of Texas.

Subsequently, Michele attended a three year Bible college and was later ordained in a non-denominational, charismatic faith. She continued her quest for spiritual understanding which led to many deep and wonderful truths and experiences.

In 1999, Michele wrote her first book, Of Monkeys & Dragons: freedom from the tyranny of disease, outlining the life principles for healing. She shared her experiences with the hope that readers everywhere might understand the possibility of living without disease.

Due to the public's response to this book and a desire for a more in-depth explanation of these principles, in 2005 Michele wrote a second book, The God That We've Created, the basic cause of all disease. This writing explains her belief that we were never intended by our Creator to live with pain, misery and tears. Further it states that disease and suffering is a learned experience and therefore can be un-learned.

In late 2007, Michele finished her third book, When the Wolf is at the Door, the simplicity of healing. With the release of this work, Michele has finished a trilogy on the subject of healing. When the Wolf is at the Door is a “how-to” book for anyone wanting to regain healing and wholeness and live it on a constant basis. It emphasizes how to heal yourself from dis-ease., whether that dis-ease is physical, emotional, relational, financial or other. It is an instruction manual for living in freedom.

Today, Michele O’Donnell is in demand internationally as an inspirational speaker. She is the host ofa regular radio show called LIVING BEYOND DISEASE, currently heard throughout the USA, Mexico and Eastern Canada, as well as XM Satellite Radio and worldwide on Internet radio. In addition, Michele has an annual retreat in the beautiful Texas Hill Country the last weekend of each February.
