Welcome!
I'm Dr. Lenore Matthew.

In 2020, my late husband unexpectedly passed away by what I call "warningless suicide" (meaning, there were no clear indications before his passing that he was in distress, let alone suicidal).

 

The night that he crossed, I began receiving visceral communications from him from the afterlife. I could see him. Feel him. Hear him. Interact with him... in real-time. 

 

I spent the better part of early grief skeptical and in denial (I'm a researcher and evidence-based practice specialist, after all!). At many points, I asked myself, family, and friends, “Am I going 'crazy'?!" But deep down, I knew these experiences were real — and were guiding me forward in a positive way.

The communications from my late husband continued. He gave me information explaining his passing, which I was able to verify with objective information. He also led me forward with profound insights and emotional guidance from the Other Side.

 

A month after the communications began, other people in the spirit world began visiting me, relaying messages for their surviving loved ones. Although I'd never met any of these departed people, somehow I knew who they were and who in the physical world they were intending to reach. When I relayed their messages to those surviving loved ones, the messages checked out every time. 

 

With time, I came to realize my experiences had begun several months before my late husband's passing. I had begun to have predictive dreams and visions. But, I didn't understand these experiences at the time. So, I blocked them out. Only after my spouses's passing did I piece together that I had intuitive abilities that had suddenly come online.

I spoke openly about my experiences. I published articles and gave interviews on my mediumship and my late husband's messages, and how they shaped my grief, trauma recovery, and life after loss for the better.

 

I knew I couldn’t be the only one experiencing this. And I wasn’t. Soon people began contacting me with their own stories of communication with loved ones who had passed. What held constant across all of our experiences was that our connections to the other side weren't holding us back. Rather, they were helping us heal and move forward.

To better understand myself and my experiences, I formally trained in evidential mediumship. However, I always knew my intuitive abilities and spiritual awakening would somehow connect back to my left-brained, research-centered self, and to my service in the field of social work.

 

With time, I was indeed guided back to the world of research and, eventually, to direct mental health practice.

 

I established the Brain/Body/Spirit Research Lab for Post-Traumatic Growth and Expansion, through which I conduct original research on the impacts of spiritual and intuitive experiences and practices on trauma survivors' well-being.

​

Through my own healing journey, I found my way to the modality that completely changed my experience with grief and trauma: Brainspotting. This neuroscience-meets-spiritualty trauma healing modality impacted me so profoundly that I became certified in it, folding my intuitive and spiritual approach into the work.

​

My work today blends scientific methods from the fields of neuroscience, social work, and psychology, with the spiritual world and intuitive practices. My goal is to blend science with spirit to help people who are here to impact the world release their pain and trauma, and step full into their soul purpose, light, expansion, and joy. ​
