Patricia O’Reilly has dedicated her entire career to assisting in self-empowerment and enabling others to become aware of their maximum potential. She has a talent for helping people achieve satisfaction and accomplishments on their own terms whether in their careers, family lives or personal endeavours.

As a mother of 4 prosperous adult children, a grandmother, former reporter for Skyline Community Programming Television, NLP Trainer, former school teacher, educator, executive board member, school board trustee, entrepreneur, consultant, mentor, pastoral agent, Identity Alignment A.C.E., Officer, Founder and President of H.O.P. 6.36 It. and Metamorph Us, hypnosis practitioner and published author of: Baby Just Wants to Rock Bounce and Sway, DIAMOND o.p.a.q.u.e, Talk About Travel: English for Airlines Hotel and Tours and Kairos: The Time is Now!, Patricia uses all her skills, experiences, resources and talents, to ensure each client meets any number of their objectives; from ridding themselves unwanted habits to achieving personal and/or business success.

It was Patricia’s desire to empower children, by helping them to build up their self-esteem, realize their own potential and encourage them to develop the kind of skill sets that could help them actualize their dreams that had kicked-off her career as a public educator and an elementary school teacher for the Ottawa Roman Catholic School Board from 1966 to 1970.  Later on, as a stay-at-home mom, Patricia’s desire to be further stimulated and challenged, led her to complete her D.Th. from the University of Ottawa, followed by the Pastoral Training Program at Saint Paul University, in Ottawa; during which time she volunteered at her local parish.  Part of her Pastoral training, was a placement on the Pastoral Team, at the Ottawa Riverside Hospital. She assumed the role as Chaplin in the first Ottawa Palliative Care Unit at the Riverside Hospital. Once she completed the Pastoral Ministry Program in 1978, she continued her work at the Riverside Hospital which included  supervising students from the Catholic Health Association Program and also undertook several projects for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.

During this period she started another big challenge: courses in NLP.  She travelled throughout Canada and the USA from the late 70s through the 80s and 90s to take training from recognized NLP experts. By 1982, she became an NLP Trainer herself. Patricia’s new skill sets allowed her to better facilitate the process of personal development for those who sought her assistance.

Patricia got to apply her new learnings as she served on committees such as the organizing committee for the first Christian Festival in May, 1982,  “The Role of Women in the Church” through the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops from 1982 to 1985; when she acted as Director, Trainer and Counsellor in Ottawa’s NLP Centre, from 1978 to 1987; and while she was Director of Pastoral Care at Ottawa's Saint Patrick’s Home for the Aged from 1982 to 1985. She became a founding member for the original CANLP- Canadian Association of NLP in 1986.

She then went on to found Metamorph Us, Inc. in 1987, for the purpose of business and life coaching, teaching her clients trans-formative training and for educational consultation.   And once more, she challenged herself in1991. At the request of numerous stake holders in the education community she put forward her name as a trustee for the Ottawa Roman Catholic Separate School Board elections and topped the polls.  She served as an elected trustee from 1991 to 1997. Her success was in part due to her experience as a former teacher, a parent of children within the community (some of them in special programs), an active member of the community, a business woman, a pastoral minister and an NLP Trainer. Patricia’s work as a trustee included extensive involvement in the negotiation process, Chairing the Education and Management Committees, special workshops for 'at risk students', and serving on the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) of the Ottawa Roman Catholic School Board.

In the Fall pf 1997, on the shore of Georgian Bay, Patricia made a commitment to unravel the theory of Noology and move this body of knowledge out into the world.  Fulfilling that promise took many turns. One in 2000 when Patricia agreed to edit a book on it.  To accomplish this she accepted a contract to teach English in Korea which would allow time to do the editing. Once she received her TESOL certification, she moved to South Korea for 16 months and taught English as a second language; while ghost writing a university text on tourism and had poems and haikus published in 'Dis 'n Dat Daejeon'. When Patricia moved back to Ottawa, she upgraded her hypnosis certification from the International Hypnosis Federation in 2006 and currently applies it for smoking cessation and the removal of other unwanted habits.

Through the years Patricia had observed her own children, students in her classrooms, adults in training contexts, clients of all ages, colleagues, family and friends as they dealt with their business lives, families and their personal endeavors. Her curiosity with identifying and understanding how to uncover the jewels within eachof them lead her to develop the H.O.P. Model. As a practising Identity Alignment A.C.E., and business and life coach, Patricia posits that when people are aware of and properly use their own and other people’s inherited human operating process (H.O.P.), their business, personal lives and family connections will undergo a positive and dramatic transformation.
