Deborah King - author, speaker, healer, shaman 

Master healer and shaman DEBORAH KING was a successful attorney in her 20s when a diagnosis of cancer sent her on a search for truth that radically changed her life. Unwilling to undergo invasive surgery, she turned to alternative medicine and had an amazing remission at the hands of a healer. Along the way, she conquered the alcohol and drug addictions she had used to bury an abusive childhood. Leaving the corporate arena for the mysterious world of healers, sages, and shamans, Deborah mastered ancient and modern healing systems, ultimately developing a powerful healing technique of her own.

Deborah’s New York Times best-seller, Be Your Own Shaman, takes you on a one-of-a-kind journey into the powerful esoteric world of healing. Her first best-seller, Truth Heals: What You Hide Can Hurt You, explores the relationship between the suppression of painful emotions and their impact on health and happiness.

Deborah travels worldwide, helping thousands of people transform their lives through her experiential workshops. Her online training program, LifeForce Energy Healing Program, attracts those who want to become healers for themselves or others. She also hosts a popular weekly Hay House radio show.

Along with Drs. David McIntyre and Douglas Williamson, Dr. Tennant founded the Outpatient Ophthalmic Surgery Society and taught surgeons around the world to do outpatient eye surgery and was instrumental in getting Congress to pay for outpatient surgery, saving Medicare millions of dollars every year.

He redesigned the European lenses to eliminate defects and was awarded patents for his designs.

After suffering from a terminal illness, in 1982 Mellen-Thomas ‘died’ and for an hour and a half he was monitored showing no vital signs. Miraculously he returned to his body with a complete remission of the disease – and one of the most inspirational near-death experiences known to date.

While on the “other side” Mellen journeyed through several realms of consciousness and beyond the “light at the end of the tunnel”. He was shown during his near-death experience, in holographic detail, Earth’s past and a beautiful vision of mankind’s future for the next 400 years. He experienced the cosmology of our soul’s connection to mother earth (Gaia), our role in the Universe, and was gifted with access to Universal Intelligence.

Since his near-death experience, Mellen-Thomas has maintained his direct access to Universal Intelligence, and returns to the light at will, enabling him to be a bridge between science and spirit. He has been involved in research programs on near-death experiences and has developed new technologies for health and wellness. With humility, insight, and depth of feeling he shares his experience and insights.

He brings back from his near-death experience a message of hope and inspiration for humanity, delivered with a joy and clarity that is refreshing. His depth of feeling and passion for life is a gift to be shared.
