Better known as The Word Queen, I have been a professional writer since the age of seventeen, initially for local newspapers, before progressing to corporate publications and magazines. I have even written for OK magazine!

I now spend my time writing and publishing books which empower people and spread Loving and Light to the world.

I grew up on the edge of a council estate in south east London in a quiet street called Thorn Close which I never liked the name of much.

I lived in that four bedroom semi for the first eighteen years of my life before I moved out and bought my first flat in Dartford. I rented out my spare room to a varied collection of tenants before I sold it in order to move to Spain at the age of 23.

My favourite pastime as a child was reading and I would go to the library with my mum and take out the maximum number of books allowed, then go home and read them all within a couple of hours. I was a true bookworm!

I also loved to write and when I wasn’t reading, I could often be found sitting on the kitchen floor penning a cute little story while my mum worked through a pile of ironing.

Growing up, I collected furry toys and the two that never left my side were my pink frog, Pinkie, and my hand-knitted gollywog, Jolly. I still have Pinkie today but unfortunately, little by little, Jolly fell to pieces and couldn’t be salvaged.

As an adult I have an over-active imagination, a positive outlook on life, and I adore rainbows, stars, hearts, flowers, butterflies, and anything else which involves Love, Light, and beauty.

Thomas Brewer, Ph.D., Senior Research Chemist and Darkfield Microscopist

Dr. Brewer obtained his Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from Michigan State University in 1992. He worked in both industry and the national laboratory system as a senior research scientist for over a decade before starting his own consulting business. Dr. Brewer's research expertise in the disciplines of heterogeneous catalysis, waste remediation, and metal oxides resulted in the granting of one U.S. Patent, sixteen invention disclosures, and numerous papers and journal articles. His main strength is the ability to explain both complex and fundamental scientific phenomena in a simple and straightforward manner.

To those who know Dr. Brewer best, his evolution from research scientist to entrepreneur did not come as a surprise. Although he very much fit the scientist profile in terms of his intellect and analytical skills, there was a “people” side of him that was never given the opportunity to blossom inside the laboratory.

Even at the height of his career in research science, Dr. Brewer’s communication and leadership skills were underutilized. His new career as a darkfield microscopist, speaker, and consultant with Enriching Gifts International gives him the opportunity to use those talents. Utilizing his agile mind and deductive gifts, he is helping people from all walks of life understand their body’s health and nutritional needs using down-to-earth principles everyone can understand.

I live in Oregon with my three dogs, and am blessed with three children and six grandchildren. I have been a favorite of radio listeners for over ten years. I was first heard on San Francisco's Seeing Beyond. Then for one and a half years I co-hosted Insights Talk Radio with Cindy Evans which aired from Seattle Wa. In 2007 I made my first of many appearances on television as a guest on Soul Awareness.

I am a spiritual counselor, channel, intuitive, clairvoyant, ordained minister and Reiki practitioner. Many have referred to me as the "psychics psychic". I awakened to the energy of my Ancient Self in 2000. I am a vessel of communication for a Collective Consciouness of love who's purpose is to guide you on your life path through messages of support and information.

The purpose in each session is to be more than a psychic reading. Going beyond answering your day to day questions the session may include such things as seeing into your past lives, how they are affecting you now, what it is that you have charted into your future or how to create the future you want. When one plans their lives/futures, it is not set in stone, as we set choices for ourselves. I will help you to see the choices that you have along your life's journey. Gently helping you apply to the physical world the information that comes in through the session helping you create the life you deserve.

I also work with the energy within your physical body, facilitating health for the mind, body and soul. Guiding you into the remembering the knowledge you carry within your cellular structure.

I may also have messages from loved ones that have passed helping you through your grief and issues that may feel unresolved. Helping you to work through your loss so that you may continue your process of healing.

As a Spiritual messenger, I bring you messages that are specifically for you. I look past conscious level of the mind, instead going deep into your cellular memory helping you see what has been hidden from you and bringing forward blocked emotional issues. Helping you to release the old belief systems that have held you in place.

Latricia is the owner and founder of Olive Seed, LLC with a passion for promoting health and healing in the community. Latricia’s interest in issues of health began as a young teen with the passing of her father from a brain aneurism and grandmother from diabetes. Almost 10 years later Latricia was terrified when her husband was plagued with symptoms similar to her father’s. Latricia was only seeking to improve her health and save her husband’s life when she began studying Reams Biological Theory to Ionization, achieving the distinction of a Body Chemistry Analyst. To date Latricia is an Herbalist, Certified Sports Nutrition Consultant and Kids Fitness Instructor with studies in Holistic Nutrition and Agriculture. Latricia hosts "Healthy Living Discussions" devoted to spotlighting what she says is a “disconnect about health” within our community. She supports participants who have committed their lives to some spectrum of the health continuum, about which she states, “Nutrition is only part of the story.” She believes the human body was built to innately heal itself given the right therapy. Latricia services include both child and adult nutrition, fitness and cooking seminars with the goal of ensuring the health of not only kids, but also families and communities. She understands good nutrition starts in the home. Latricia's newly adopted name, “Mama NuTrish” was purposely created to facilitate the Healthy STAR Program. An initiative designed to help kids and teens understand wise food choices and daily physical activity are building blocks to promoting health and reduces the risk of diseases like diabetes, obesity and cancer.

Carole J. Obley has been the bridge between heaven and earth in over 7000 group and individual readings.

Names, descriptions of loved ones’ personalities and uncanny, validating details as well as grief support and teachings about the Afterlife are typically delivered in her readings. Heartfelt and compassionate in her approach, Carole is also well known for her practical, down-to -earth guidance and insight into life issues, such as relationships, career and finance.

Through her inspiring books, CD’s, media work, seminars and workshops, Carole has touched thousands, helping them to move through the grieving process more easily and importantly, to open their hearts and minds to the Divine within. After experiencing a session, many people comment on how much lighter and more connected they feel, renewed by the power of love and comforted by the confirmation that death does not separate us from those we love. Carole’s passionate intent is to use her talents to mirror the divine essence of others, thereby empowering them to reach for the stars in all avenues of their lives.

Because she ardently believes that each person has the ability to connect with the voice of God within by accessing intuition, Carole has created three levels of intuition development, which she teaches in fun-filled, affordable weekend intensives. She loves to teach and share many of the easy- to-apply techniques she personally utilized to develop her own abilities as a medium.

Heather Clarke answered the call to become a midwife over 30 years ago. After graduating from Columbia University with a masters degree in midwifery, she attended over 1,000 babies and cared for countless more women from adolescence to post menopause. Her career has been driven by the obsession to find “the most holistic” way to care for women –mind, body and spirit, and a search for the key to overcome her own health challenges. These forces led her to study various forms of alternative healing practices including herbology, homeopathy, yoga, acupressure and harmonic medicine, and prenatal/perinatal psychology. In 2004 after completing a 2 year doctoral program in Integrative Medicine Heather expanded her midwifery practice to incorporate more alternative modalities.
