Scarlett L. Heinbuch, PhD, MPH

Exploring the transformative power of consciousness, connection, and love.

Author and inspirational speaker Dr. Scarlett Heinbuch has spent a lifetime walking between worlds. A near-death experience from drowning at the age of four left Scarlett with an intense intuitive connection to the “Other Side,” giving her the ability to feel and see spirits, receive precognitive information, and channel healing to others hovering on the border between death and life. At the same time, Scarlett’s practical, analytical mind led her to pursue a master’s degree in public health, a PhD in public policy, and ultimately a career in financial services.

But it was while Scarlett was finishing her doctorate that the Other Side suddenly intervened again in an enormous way. At the time, Scarlett was struggling: juggling teaching, research, being a single parent to two young boys with special needs. She was also holding onto her newfound sobriety—using a 12-step program to become free from the alcohol that for a long time was her only way to keep unwanted intrusions from the spirit world at bay. Now, after following an intuitive push she’d felt at a recent recovery meeting, Scarlett found herself in a local hospital ICU, offering energy healing to a man named David whom she’d never met. David was on the brink of death—in a weeks-long coma, dependent on a ventilator, with his organs shutting down one after another.

As Scarlett began to work on David, she was transported out of her body to another realm. David’s spirit was waiting for her there in the light, ready to pass on. In the midst of this shared near-death experience (SNDE), Scarlett felt an overwhelming knowledge that she and David had always known each other in this “forever time.” A miraculous recovery followed, with healing assistance from Blue Beings from another dimension who regenerated David’s kidneys. David, against all odds, woke up from his coma, and he knew everything about Scarlett, although she was a stranger to him in this life. He knew her life story, sorrows, and her spiritual essence, and he also knew he was going to marry her.

Thirteen years later, Scarlett wrote a book about their remarkable meeting and how they learned to take a love that began in the world beyond this one and bring it back to earth, integrating their lives and hearts and healing many old wounds. Five years later, in 2023, Scarlett updated the book with information about her childhood NDE. She included some of the healing prayers she used with David, resources for readers, a doctor’s verification of David’s medical records, and she gave it a new title: We Met on the Other Side.

Scarlett now travels worldwide teaching about shared near-death experiences, exploring the Blue Beings in healing, and inspiring audiences with her true-life love story, giving hope to others who find themselves in hopeless circumstances, whether those are fueled by issues related to money, health, love, addiction, or all of the above.

Whether Scarlett is working with Reiki or relationships, spreadsheets or spirits, or interdimensional beings, she’s aware that “it’s all just energy.” And Scarlett’s mission is to help as many people as possible understand the vast resources—material and immaterial—that are available to them as they move toward a life of greater freedom, and healing and love.

Remember, wherever you are on your journey, may love be your guiding light. Love is the healing key. Love is the greatest force in the universe. Love transforms and heals. When you have a choice, choose love.  In the end, it’s all about love.
