Hello, I'm Laura Emerald: Spirit Medium, Teacher, and Speaker and I've been helping people for over 10 years connect with their loved ones, family, friends, and guides in spirit. I am also an expert in Sustainable Living (Founder and President of Sustainable Life Solutions and co-Founder of www.BoltonLocal.org) and helping those on a spiritual path live a more sustainable life. While a Quality Assurance Director for large international software companies, at the age of 35, loved ones in spirit started talking to me. Although initially I was very skeptical, I soon learned that it was real when messages had details I did not know. Being "awakened to my ability" wasn't enough, I wanted to develop these new found "skills" by taking classes and workshops with Spirit Mediums Rita Berkowitz, John Holland, and James Van Praagh, and learned how to harness my new found "abilities" and to "shut it off" when appropriate. I believe that we all have this ability if we are open to "re-awakening" to it and I've been teaching others to develop their connection to the higher realm as I myself did later in life.
