Ellen Tadd

Ellen Tadd has taught, lectured, and counseled on actualizing spiritual potential in everyday life for more than thirty years. Shortly after completing her freshman year of college, she had the remarkable experience of being able to contact her deceased mother. That event healed her childhood trauma of denying her clairvoyant and clairaudient gifts and transformed her worldview. She soon began to have contact with guides from spiritual realms and discovered that she could serve as an intermediary between the material and spiritual worlds. Ellen has two grown children and lives in Massachusetts with her companion. Her website is: ellentadd.com
