UMS has not only transformed the way I perceive myself and the world, but it’s transformed my being.

"Marvalyn" began her journey out of high school, became a Reiki Master by God/The Friendly Abundant Universe, but "officially" through attunements from Carol Lee MacKay (a beautiful, bright light leading her path). She then took time (years) to obtain the Bachelor of Divinity, B. Div. through this amazing University. She lives near the Great Lakes in New York State (between Buffalo and Rochester); however, Japanese healing arts resonate best. She will continue to grow on this path of education with a focus on Jin Shin Jyutsu. It is an honor and a pleasure to share healing with those that I am blessed to know. A special thanks to my Son/Soul Brother, who has always been the wind beneath my wings! Animals hold a special place in my heart as my beloved dogs are some of my greatest teachers. It is my life's work to H.O.P.E. = Help Our Potential Evolve. Prayers & Blessings for Peace & Love

Hi! My name is Marchelle Nesmith-Bey. I started a self discovery journey a few years ago, and stumbled across a U.M.S. catalog in a Metaphysics gift shop.

University of Metaphysical Sciences has sparked my interest in furthering my studies in many different healing modalities and spiritual practices. I'm honored and very excited to be receiving my Bachelor of Divinity!
