Zofia Weaver obtained a doctorate in Slavonic linguistics from Nottingham University in the UK and for many years has worked as a translator of academic, mainly musicological and philosophical-cultural, publications. She has been involved in psychical research for more than forty years; she is a member of the Council of the British Society for Psychical Research, and served as the Editor of the Society’s Journal in the years 1999-2002; currently she is its Associate Editor.

One of her main areas of interest in psychical research is the investigation of famous Polish psychics. Together with the late Mary Rose Barrington and the late Professor Ian Stevenson, she wrote a comprehensive study of the Polish clairvoyant Stefan Ossowiecki, published in 2005, and in 2015 she published a book on the Polish physical medium Franek Kluski. In 2022 she co-authored a book about clairvoyance and psychic detection which received the Parapsychological Associations’s Book Award in 2023, an award that “recognizes books in the field of parapsychology that make significant contributions to science and to the cultural conversation about the implications of parapsychology.”

Combining consciousness research with therapeutic practice, she has trained in Gestalt therapy and meditation-oriented methods. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges psychology, eastern philosophy, and neuroscience, fostering a deeper understanding of the human mind and its transformative potential.

An educator with many years of professional experience, specializing in pedagogical diagnosis, individual and group pedagogical therapy, as well as various forms of prevention and counseling for children, adolescents, and parents. Through her work in Poland and Germany, she has solidified her pedagogical achievements, contributing her own insights to the structures of the educational process. She actively engages in projects aimed at bringing about changes in the field of education and upbringing.

For many years, she has been focusing on the nature of consciousness as a phenomenon that extends beyond material limitations. The scientific exploration of this field requires the synthesis of the latest research conducted in leading academic institutions worldwide. Therefore, collaboration with scientists is a key aspect of analyzing current data and undertaking further studies, including the relationship between brain structure and unconventional consciousness experiences such as NDEs (Near-Death Experiences), mediumship, telepathy, and others.

Drawing from scientific knowledge, diverse cultures, traditions—including those of the Far East—as well as her own experiences, she applies this expertise to therapeutic support for individuals seeking to understand challenges in their relationships and implement positive changes in their lives. The sources of life difficulties often lie in unconscious aspects of personal experiences, and accessing them requires an intuitive approach to the field of consciousness. In her approach to working with people, the principle of open dialogue in an atmosphere of empathy and trust is considered the most effective way to achieve self-awareness and implement meaningful changes.

She continuously develops new research methodologies, striving to deepen the scientific understanding of consciousness from a global and interdisciplinary perspective. Her primary goal is to build a bridge between contemporary science and centuries-old traditions of knowledge, shedding light on the fundamental nature of human existence.

Kristine is a psychologist and hypnotherapist by training. Her journey with psychology began a few years ago, but even as a child, she possessed strong intuition and a sense that humans are more than just their physical bodies—they are also minds. Over time, she progressed through various stages of development, delving into the human psyche through university studies, workshops, alternative medicine gatherings, and individual client work, uncovering the mysteries of the mind.

Her lifelong pursuit of increasingly effective methods to help others eventually led her to the fascinating world of hypnosis and alternative approaches to working with the subconscious. She discovered that the root causes of many problems—and their solutions—lie within the depths of the subconscious mind.

In her practice, she blends her psychological expertise with lesser-known yet highly effective tools that reach deeper levels of consciousness. Her unique gift of intuition allows her to take a holistic and effective approach tailored to each client’s needs.

Born in Armenia and raised in Poland as a teenager, she embodies the richness of two cultures and diverse life experiences. The transition from her native country profoundly shaped her perspective on life, emotions, and interpersonal relationships. She believes in the importance of nutrition, self-care, and the mental and emotional influences that shape one’s existence.

By integrating all these aspects, she guides individuals toward complete healing and harmony. Her approach is rooted in personal experience, having tested many of the tools on herself before using them to help others. Acknowledging that every individual is unique, she builds warm, supportive relationships and adapts her methods to meet each person’s specific needs. With empathy and respect for every client’s journey, she strives to facilitate healing and transformation.
