The story of her near death experience has been featured on I Survived:  Beyond and Back, Season 1, Episode 5, National Geographic’s April 2016 article “The Crossing,” the cover story for Simple Grace Magazine, an article in Women’s World MagazineCoast to Coast AM, and featured on The Doctor Oz Show.

Tricia’s memoir, “Angels in the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation” tells the story of her near-death experience, teaching mission, and eventual triumph over childhood trauma and sexual assault. The book also focuses on the importance being of service to the world. She believes that joy, humor, and healing are available to everyone through a deeper connection to divinity. Her book can be ordered HERE, and is also available through Audible.

Tricia is a graduate of The University of Texas. She also received her MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College. Currently, she teaches English and Creative Writing at a beautiful community college in Fort Worth, Texas. She interviews other near-death experiencers, researchers, healers, spiritual teachers, and mediums on her YouTube Channel.

Tricia’s capacity for love and joy is clearly evident in this captivating podcast episode, in which she describes her NDE in vivid detail and explains how she found her life purpose and changed the way she views the world as a result of her visit to the other side.



That was the best moment of my life; the closer I got to God the more peace I felt, the more loved I felt, the more I felt okay as myself.
— Tricia Barker
Love should be our legacy... everything we take with us is made of love.
— Tricia Barker
