About Me
My Story
I am a mom (of two lovely girls), an artist (who creates with makeup, spaces, fabric, words and anything that inspires me), and RN (I chose nursing school over unemployment during the pandemic and although it was the most challenging endeavor of my life, it was quite rewarding), a Licensed Massage Therapist LMT, CLT (body worker and energy worker using all kinds of modalities and techniques in a therapeutic practice), the owner of Creative Juice Group (a fabulously creative event entertainment company), a "seasoned" (that means I know a lot because I have been around for a really long time) event expert, breast cancer survivor (and survivor of lots of other life events too), author (currently in the process of being published) and motivational speaker (I love my jobs).Â
Thanks for stopping by.

My Experience
Background & Expertise
As a small business owner, I have been privileged to work for myself. However, with every project comes a new boss. So, I learned quickly how to suit up in the uniform of the team I am playing for and to always wear my big girl panties just in case I have to be the coach.

Sandy O Speaks
BEING YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL
Keynote
Delightful presentation using shoe analogies to empower women, help them find what makes them sparkle, how to be true to themselves, be mindful in their lives and to find their superpowers.
GETTING YOUR CREATIVE ON
Interactive Presentation and Brainstorming Session
Presentation in which creative topics are discussed. Where does creativity come from? How can I be more creative? And dispelling the myth of "I don't have a creative bone in my body". Audience participation is encouraged.
LET'S BOUNCE
Interactive Keynote
Those little rubber balls - they're called "SUPER" balls for a reason. Through my personal story of survival, I explain how I "bounced back", learned how to "roll" with the punches, how to aim, target, and how to dissappear. Powerful, thought provoking, tear jerking, inspiring, belly laughing presentation.
MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT
How to Design an Event in ANY Space
Learn how to use your space to enhance your event. Maximize your budget and take full advantage of the environment for which you are designing. For an interactive session, bring your photos and videos of your space and let's brainstorm together (increases the presentation by 30 minutes).

Sandy O Writes
"I Wish, Period..."
Currently in process for publication. This book was written and illustrated by Sandy O'Brien for her daughter who was approaching puberty and menstruation. It is the passing of some female wisdom from a mother to her daughter to calm the fears and welcome Aunt Flo each month for her visits.
Sandy has been writing and drawing for years. "I Wish, Period..." is the first book being published due to the enthusiasm of her daughters. Three other books are waiting patiently for this first one to be born so they too can one day be enjoyed by others.

I hug harder,
I breathe deeper,
I tolerate less!"
