About JoAnna Oblander

Inspirational Author, Speaker, and Near-Death Experiencer

JoAnna Oblander is an inspirational author, speaker, and near-death experience survivor whose extraordinary journey from the depths of personal despair to the heights of spiritual awakening has touched thousands. Driven by divine encounters and a mission far greater than herself, JoAnna transforms stories of hardship and healing into guiding lights for those seeking hope, purpose, and connection with the divine. 

At the darkest point in her life—crippled by relentless physical pain and emotional anguish—JoAnna stood on the brink of ending her life. But in that most desperate moment, heaven intervened. She was embraced by a radiant, loving presence that revealed to her the truth of her pre-mortal existence, her soul’s divine mission, and the immeasurable worth of every person. This profound near-death experience not only saved her life but altered its trajectory forever. Heaven showed her that her life had purpose—intentional, powerful, and eternal—and so does yours. 

JoAnna’s path to healing was not only spiritual but deeply personal. For 15 years, she endured debilitating chronic migraines that stole precious moments from her life. It was through this battleground of suffering that she learned to rely on faith, listen to divine guidance, and discover natural methods of healing that brought her lasting relief. That same divine guidance also led JoAnna and her husband, Greg, to adopt two children from Russia—an act of love that would challenge, transform, and instruct their family in profound ways. Through both joy and challenge, JoAnna’s resolve has been cultivated and refined. 

Throughout her life in Montana, JoAnna has been visited by angels, gifted with vivid spiritual visions, and bathed in the presence of divine love. These transcendent encounters continue to fuel her spiritual insights and inspire countless seekers drawn to her authenticity and heavenly-connected message. 

JoAnna captured her incredible story in her book, A Glimpse of Heaven: One Woman’s Life-Altering Visit with God. In its pages, she invites readers into her journey beyond the veil, helping them reclaim their divine identity and embrace the Majesty of God’s plan for their lives. With clarity, compassion, and courage, she walks with the brokenhearted and points them toward wholeness. 

Today, JoAnna remains a tireless advocate for healing and hope. She is a perpetual student of natural health and holistic healing and is preparing a children’s book that nurtures faith and eternal understanding in young hearts. She also actively supports foster and adoptive families navigating the complex realities of Reactive Attachment Disorder, offering insight and encouragement born from lived experience. 

JoAnna lives in the breathtaking mountain beauty of Montana with her husband Greg, where faith and family remain her foundation. Together, they have six beloved children—including their two adopted Russian children—and are joyfully watching their posterity grow with each precious grandchild. Through her life and her message, JoAnna Oblander embodies the truth that shattered lives can mend, rise, and radiate healing to others. Her story is living proof that heaven is closer than we think, and that each of us is here on purpose.
