Kitty Edwards’s childhood near-death experiences introduced her to the world beyond death. She has studied with wisdom keepers on three continents, learning various methods to cross the threshold of death in service to herself and others. In her private practice as an Ayni Energy practitioner, Kitty helps those confronted by death find the courage to release their fears.
