About me
Scarlett L. Heinbuch, PhD, MPH is an internationally known speaker in the area of near-death experiences, spiritual awareness, and energy healing. Her story was featured on the History Channel’s show, The UnXplained, hosted by William Shatner. Scarlett popularized the term, “Shared Near-Death Experience (SNDE)” after an unusual encounter where she met a dying stranger who had an unexplained healing which resulted in an unusual love story, captured in her memoir, We Met on the Other Side. Others are now experiencing similar encounters and having a new term to express these experiences is opening the door for greater conversations.
Scarlett had a childhood Near-Death Experience (NDE) at the age of four, in which she was out of her body and felt the love and awareness of the universe. She has used this awareness in her life in all areas, working in financial services, including several Fortune 500 companies in banking and brokerage, focused on women’s financial health and social norms theory. She is retired from the Federal Reserve Bank as an expert in the US payments system.
Scarlett holds a PhD in public policy and administration from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and a master’s degree in public health (MPH) from VCU’s School of Medicine. In addition, Scarlett is certified in two forms of Reiki (Usui and Holy Fire), Hypnotherapy, and NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP). She and David Schwartz live in Midlothian, VA.
