My Name is Adrienne Scannavino and just finished my Bachelors in Metaphysical Sciences. My biggest desire it to just help others heal, bring comfort and encouragement. I have been reading Tarot and Oracles for the last 10 years and still learning as I go. I also had a NDE experience and that is when I knew that something Bigger and Greater than us does exist and it is a Spirit of Love that cannot be explained in mere human terms. That experience eventually led me on this path and here I Am! UMS has helped me to step out of my comfort zone and is helping me build my confidence as I now move foward twords My Masters degree. You are welcome to reach out to me, even if it is just an ear from a stranger you may need, I might not have the answer, but i will listen! I will be more active on The Metaphysical Connection site within the next month. You can reach out me there. Blessings, Love and Light to all!

He feels his impact will be a great one in this new and emerging consciousness.
I was born in France in 1955, where I attended the Ballet School of the Opera de Paris. As a teenager, I moved to Montreal with my parents where the facts of life awakened my compassion for suffering people. Wanting to contribute to progress, I considered a scientific career, and I graduated in biology at McGill University. When I finally became aware that man's well-being needs more than a materialistic understanding of reality, I obtained a doctorate in acupuncture that opened my mind to the metaphysical dimensions of human being.
This holistic paradigm led me to explore mind and diet as sources of diseases. I developed a comprehensive vegetarian cooking course in order to promote health and non-violence. I also practiced Rebirthing Breathwork and, when I felt ready to share this wonderful technique with others, I qualified as a practitioner with Leonard Orr, and later experienced Sudarshan Kriya, a similar technique taught by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Since there can be no permanent health and happiness without a satisfying spiritual life, I became a certified Hatha and Raja yoga teacher at Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville, where I also worked as a graphic designer and translator.
However, I came to realize that classical yoga, despite its commercial success, has questionable results. I now wish to serve the Great Goddess by spreading the more life-affirming Tantric and Taoist traditions. I am particularly fond of Master Osho’s teachings whose breadth and depth can bring both self actualization and Self realization, as well as create beauty and love on the planet.

Communicator, educator, mommy of twins who loves life and everything the world has to offer. Too blessed to be stressed. Amen!!
My name is Amber Schmich; a mother, friend, and soul yearning to break free from matrix style living since childhood. My path, like so many others, to learning of self and focusing on my inner work started exactly when it is always meant to; for me this was in my late thirties. I sought so many various topics of interest for a career. I received a certification in visual design. I had a photography business. Yet there was still something I needed to find to fulfill what my heart felt like I needed to do, needed to be, in my journey.
Looking at a flower of life symbol necklace I bought from Portugal and months before I found UMS; it clicked that my purpose was to help myself so I could help others. I had done a lot of personal work within before finding UMS, but since starting in 2021, I have grown through the coursework and the meditations to truly appreciate and dive more into myself and this journey. I am well on my way to working through into the spiritual life coach and healer I was always meant to be. I knew it as a child and relearning it, that fresh breathe of life, has renewed my spirit in my studies and for my path forward.

I have been married since 1995 and a mother since 2005. I am a very creative person who loves to make jewelry, crochet, and write creatively. I also enjoy reading; mostly series books and anything on The Tudor Dynasty. I hope to be a published author someday.
I am finally back home in Oregon and settled on a 55 acre farm. I am the wife of a retired 25 Army Veteran and am happy that I don't have to move again, unless I want to. I plan to use my studies for personal reasons and to use in writing books in the future.
After a career in the corporate world I wanted to transition to something that would help people and make the world a better place. I studied and practiced metaphysical sciences for many years privately. Working on my degree at UMS has helped me pull it all together. I am now ready to start work as a life coach helping people to bring a higher consciousness to their life endeavors.

The person I am today is the result of a journey shaped by life’s challenges and hard lessons, each one building a character that has gained not only wisdom but also the ability to endure trials, cultivate patience, and offer myself grace. As a child, I learned early on how influential religion could be, and I was always the one with questions—curious enough to investigate further. Many around me would say I had an old soul or that I’d been here before. Deep down, I knew I was seeking knowledge I had yet to discover.
As I have progressed through life, my inner character has been subject to profound examination. The study of metaphysics demands a deep introspective journey, encouraging one to explore and integrate the many facets that compose the greater work of the self. Through my travels to countries such as those in Asia, I have come to appreciate the nuanced differences among cultures, while also recognizing our shared aspirations for peace, love, and the universal experience of fear. My enduring fascination with different cultures and the inherent strength of the human spirit continues to inspire me. Over time, I have felt a calling to work with children and, eventually, to connect with individuals on a more meaningful level. What began as mere curiosity has evolved into a guiding philosophy, prompting me to pursue deeper understanding, self-reflection, and the acknowledgment that our existence transcends what is immediately perceptible.
Studying at the University of Metaphysical Sciences has been a vital part of this journey, empowering me to understand our true spiritual potential and the sacred importance of self-discovery. I am grateful for this transformative experience and excited to continue sharing what I have learned, serving others on their own paths toward enlightenment, healing, and self-awareness. As I pursue my Doctorate in Spiritual Counseling, I am guided by a deep sense of purpose—committed to facilitating spiritual growth, compassion, and holistic well-being in all those I encounter. My educational journey continues, fueled by a devotion to spiritual wisdom and lifelong learning.
My support comes from my family and friends, for whom I am forever grateful—they are an essential part of who I have become. Each person I have been blessed to meet has left an imprint on me, just as I hope I have left an imprint on them. Thank you to all who have been a part of my educational journey, and to every author and scholar who has come before me and shared their wisdom, reminding us that we are all connected. The encouraging words and insights from the UMS staff have been invaluable. This has been a deeply transformative journey, and it is inspiring to witness how we uplift and improve ourselves and one another along the way.
Blessings to you all—I wish you well on your path.

April is a Spiritual Artisan and Metaphysical Counselor. One of the ways she presently shines and shares her love and light with the world is through her spiritually inspired metaphysical jewelry.
Party for one! She has always lived according to her own design. To some, she is mysterious. To others, free-spirited, bewildering, even dismissive. Yet those labels reveal more about the observer than the woman herself. She has never sought validation through conformity, choosing instead to honor an inner compass that has guided her since childhood.
The innocence of her early years was interrupted around her first Saturn return, marking a profound shift in consciousness. What emerged was not simply resilience, but an acute awareness of herself, the people around her, and the unseen forces that shape human experience. Deprived of the comfort and guidance she needed from the adults in her life, she turned inward. There, she cultivated an understanding of herself that became more trustworthy than the noise of the outside world.
Over time, with quiet discipline and unwavering curiosity, she refined her intuition and deepened her perception of realities beyond the visible. An ancient knowing seemed to awaken within her, transforming the pursuit of wisdom into a lifelong calling. Rather than searching for certainty, she learned to move with mystery, allowing experience to become her greatest teacher.
Those who spend time in conversation with her often notice an unmistakable joy that exists beneath the surface—a joy that is neither performative nor dependent on circumstance. Those who walk alongside her witness an uncommon ability to align with opportunity, as though life itself responds to the clarity of her intention. And for the few welcomed into her inner circle, there is an undeniable sense of being deeply supported, protected, and touched by grace.
She has never needed a crowd to affirm her path. Her life has always been a celebration of authenticity, purpose, and divine companionship. Party for One. Not because she is alone, but because she has learned that the greatest company she will ever keep is her own.
Metaphysical studies has always held an interest for me. Recently I had a vision of me and everything else in this world being made up of essence. We are the rainbow. We are the essence that rainbow makes.
Love this coursework. On my journey I have found a new perspective on myself and those around me. I found this school to try and go back to school and do something I love. It has led me to manifest some amazing new opportunities for myself.
