Adopted into a deeply religious family, Lori felt constrained by rigid rules and expectations from a young age.

In 1999, Kathy became critically ill with a deadly flu that left her hospitalized, placed on a ventilator, and in an induced coma for three weeks while she fought for her life. The doctors told her that the coma-inducing medications would put her into a deep sleep with no memories of the experience. However, her experience was anything but forgettable. After everything went black, Kathy found herself in a hellish realm filled with deep anguish, before the heavens opened and she was lovingly greeted by her former partner, who welcomed her "home." Since her NDE, Kathy has worked to integrate this profound experience on the other side. Her involvement with IANDS (the International Association of Near-Death Studies) and the people she met there helped her understand what happened and why. Today, Kathy lives with the mission to bring joy to others through her daily interactions, always striving to embody the heavenly instructions she received: to be loving, kind, merciful, forgiving, encouraging, grateful, non-judgmental, and useful.

Upon arriving, they immediately boarded a bus toward Base Camp. However, as they journeyed on, Morgan and several friends began to experience severe altitude sickness. Despite this, they pressed on and arrived at Base Camp that night. Morgan, however, continued to show worsening signs of illness. The following morning, when Morgan’s friends tried to wake him, he did not respond. They quickly loaded him onto a bus in an attempt to descend to a lower altitude, but it soon became clear that Morgan was slipping away. One of his friends called Elizabeth, informing her of Morgan’s grave condition. She asked them to hold the phone close to his ear. As she gently spoke to him, expressing her love, Elizabeth suddenly felt his presence, even from thousands of miles away. In that moment, she felt Morgan’s love and his embrace, and she knew that he had transitioned. A deep sense of peace and love filled her heart. In the days that followed, Elizabeth began attending grief support groups. When she shared her profound spiritual experience that was bringing her so much comfort and peace regarding Morgan’s passing, she was met with resistance and even asked not to speak of it. Undeterred, Elizabeth went on to create a new support group where spiritual experiences were not only welcomed but encouraged. This led to the founding of Helping Parents Heal, a worldwide organization that supports thousands of parents who have children transitioned. Through this foundation, these shining light parents find healing by connecting with each other and their children on the other side.

A trained scientist, Melinda’s beliefs about life and death were deeply grounded in scientific traditions. But everything changed in the final weeks of her pregnancy with her first child when she began to sense that something was wrong. Despite scheduling a doctor’s appointment, the day before her visit, she became gravely ill and was rushed to the hospital. Once there, everything went black, and Melinda had a sudden awareness that she might have just died. In this moment, she was greeted by a spirit guide surrounded by a glowing purple light, enveloping her in immense love and a sense of pure safety. From the spirit realm, Melinda could hear the prayers of her loved ones, and she saw those prayers as beams of orange light. During her near-death experience, she received important messages to bring back including her unique perspective of the spirit body connection. She also shared a profound, soul-deep connection in heaven with her unborn son, Oak, who passed during this medical crisis.  About Melinda: Melinda Peterson is a Health Intuitive, Registered Nurse (RN), Near-Death Experiencer, Speaker, and Yoga Guide. A near-death experience (NDE) from a fatal pregnancy complication sent her into a coma with odds of less than one percent, and a baby named Oak with whom she parted lovingly on the other side. During her NDE it was revealed that she was to return to the human experience to share deep guidance infused into the wisdom of the body - so she became a nurse and a healer. In Tune with Melinda, her business, helps you to re-connect to your unique body’s wisdom - melding science, organ consciousness, and seasonal intuition to access health in the present moment. Her upcoming oracle deck, The Anatomy Way, is a tool for organic self-awareness. She and her family live in Fort Collins, Colorado. In the summer you might see her with iced tea and a paddleboard.

Since then, Minda has traveled through 24 countries from Arizona to Greece to Nepal to India and more, exploring her spiritual development and embracing the journey of transformation. About Minda: Minda Pacheco is a life coach, intuitive healer, and global adventurer devoted to inspiring transformation and embodying love.
