Annemarie Seidenberg
Annemarie, owner of Mind Body Spiritual Connections, operates a wellness center that focuses on alternative and complementary energy medicine.

She believes life is full of enlightening lessons, a belief she refined through deep introspection and understanding her inherent intuitive abilities. She kept her intuitive gifts hidden for much of her life, out of fear of misunderstanding and the intensity of her abilities. However, a turning point came where she could no longer deny these gifts, leading to the start of her journey. Her journey began with reading one pivotal book: “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz, which greatly influenced her mind, body, and spiritual growth.

Subsequently, Annemarie studied reiki, integrated energy therapy, and other modalities. She became an ordained minister and attained a master’s degree in divinity from the University of Metaphysics Sciences to understand her divine connection. Her journey imparted many life lessons, requiring her to draw on her strength and divine wisdom to stay true to herself and continue on her path.

Currently, Annemarie dedicates herself to deep inner work on enlightenment, spiritual traditions, and soul codes. She offers private sessions, courses, sound healing circles and retreats to assist others on their journeys. As a sacred activist, she aims to guide and support others as they navigate their own paths in life.

Charlotte Dunn

In her role as Operations Director at MBSC and Co-Liaison for Annemarie’s Energy Practitioner Apprenticeship Program (EPA), Charlotte is instrumental in ensuring smooth operations and achieving company goals. Her responsibilities span from negotiating deals to managing budgets and purchases. Collaborating with MBSC team, she helps devise long-term operational strategies to accomplish company objectives.

Charlotte’s formative years were spent in Needham, MA, where she attended Mount Alvernia High School. She later earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech, Hearing, and Communication Science Disorders from Loyola University, Baltimore. After graduation, she engaged with Reiki studies under Annemarie and played a significant role in developing the EPA program with her colleagues.

Charlotte also works at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, managing the Welcome Center and Contact Operations. Whether it’s working with the EPA program or the Cancer Institute, Charlotte’s main goal is to empower individuals to reach their potential and make a positive difference in their communities.

Carole A. Nathanson

Carole is the Director of Education and Co-Liason for the Energy Practitioner Apprenticeship Program’s Mentorship program. She also co-leads the online courses “Ancestral Healing: Working with your Intergenerational Patterns” and “Transformative Approach to a Contemplative Mind.” Additionally, she operates a private practice at MBSC, focusing on energy work and integrated energy therapies.

Carole’s service journey began with helping her family and friends, which later expanded to organized platforms. She’s a veteran volunteer at the American Cancer Society, trained in Psychological First Aid with experience as a Patient Navigator. Her empathic skills steered her towards Reiki, first as a client and later as a student. Her professional experience in food brokerage and commercial real estate management complements her intuitive abilities. As a Reiki Master, Energy Practitioner, and Spiritual Coach, Carole leads individuals towards increased self-awareness, spiritual awakening, healing, peace, and success.

Her foundational knowledge is applied in her volunteer and professional work, integrating Reiki, Spiritual Coaching, and various energy modalities, including mindfulness and meditation. In both individual and group settings, Carole aids individuals in recognizing and valuing their abilities, uncovering their unique talents, and cultivating their intuition to effect life changes, achieve balance, and reach their optimal potential for themselves and others.
