Tiernan at Omega
Tiernan Ray Devenyns
Tiernan was born May, 2009 and he loves looking like his grandma (though, he doesn't like getting those curls combed). He calls his grandma, Mama and he is a natural at EEM. He has already done many healings for family members and his little friends. One of his first healings was when he was 1 year old, when another little baby had a stomach ache. Tiernan loves trains, planes and playing, "pretend." He has been told that, one day he will be the CEO of Innersource, but right now that is just too much to think about. He would rather run through the grass, jump in puddles and play with his toys.
