TRACY POFF, MBA, Phd
Director

Tracy Poff, MBA, PhD, is a researcher in the field of transpersonal psychology focusing on the phenomenon of extrasensory perception, including intuition and mediumship. After earning an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and nearly 15 years as a CPA, corporate finance consultant, and business executive, Tracy’s worldview shifted dramatically while tending to health issues in her family. She became aware of the notion of subtle energy and the human biofield, and experienced phenomena that revealed the spiritual nature of human beings. Tracy’s first encounter with a medical intuitive sparked a deep dive into metaphysics, leading to formal education in holistic health and then a master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. Post-graduate certifications include advanced study of Consciousness, Health, and Healing and extensive training as a Soul-Centered Professional Coach. She is also a certified Reiki Master. Tracy earned a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology from Sofia University and conducted the first ever in-depth academic investigation into the lived experience of professional medical intuitives.

JIM PATTERSON
Director

Jim Patterson’s work has focused on laboratory medicine for the past forty-five years. After receiving his Master's degree in biochemistry from Michigan State University, he worked in research, development and medical sales, with an additional thirty years in medical recruiting and consulting with both large and small diagnostic companies. Jim's interest in medical intuition flourished when he attended a course in medical intuition led by C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., and Carolyn Myss in the 1990s. His attendance was an attempt to identify the cause of chronic gastrointestinal pain and anemia that had plagued him for over three decades. Years of visits to various qualified and compassionate clinicians had not revealed a diagnosis; thus, there was no helpful treatment plan. A referral from this course led him to a skilled medical intuitive who correctly identified his malady as Crohn's disease, which was later verified by pathology. The net result was effective traditional medical treatment and more effective managing inflammatory psychological habits of anger, fear, self-doubt, etc. This led to the remission of his lifelong ailment of Crohn's. Today, Jim continues his work by helping healthcare professionals in their careers while also writing about managing mental trauma and dysfunctional thinking that aggravates the physical body and leads to psychological distress.
