WHAT DOES "CORBIE" MEAN
AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THAT NAME?
I chose the name “Corbie” to honor ravens, my guides and avatars. Raven is the guardian of “in absentia” healing, a courier on the Spirit Road, and is first cousin to Coyote the Trickster as a major deity for Northwest Native tribes such as the Haida and Tlingit.

HOW DID YOU LEARN TO DO WHAT YOU DO?
I’ve investigated different ways of teaching, counseling and healing since 1973. In 1994, working on some past life investigations proved to be a catalyst for my own abilities. Without formal instruction of any kind, I found myself able to do hands-on healing work, distance energy work over the phone, and act as a liaison between discarnate entities and those of us currently in body. I proved to be a doorway Home for souls caught in the Grey Space—those who have died, but for one reason or another cannot get to the Light on their own, and therefore haunt the living. And I found I had a talent for channeling souls and Higher Selves for those who need to know the “hows and whys” of their life challenges.

What I do now is a combination of those unexpected gifts and the more accessible tools I’ve found useful over the years. I continue to hone my skills; my certifications are testimony to the ongoing work. My goal is to continue living the “examined life,” not only learning more technique, but also going within myself to eradicate fears, bias, judgment, ego—anything which can get in the way of unconditional love and compassion.

YOU DO A LOT OF PSYCHIC FAIRS AND PUBLIC
EVENTS. IS A READING WITH YOU APPROPRIATE
FOR A PUBLIC PLACE? WHAT ABOUT SCARY
INFORMATION, BAD NEWS, ETC.
Despite the elegant clothes and table trappings, most folks say sitting with me is a comfortable, safe experience that feels like they're with a long-time friend, not a stranger spouting a bunch of mystical hoodoo and pretence. And I don't believe in "bad news" -- we have opportunities we can go after, and challenges to get past. My job is to give you the tools and courage to deal with both situations. Everything else is free will, and up to you. Never forget that!

YOU TALK ABOUT "LAUGHTER ON THE PATH"
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Like Swami Beyondananda, I've discovered that if you get people laughing, their everyday conditioning is set aside and they are more apt to listen to what you have to say. Laughter won't compromise the truth—just make it more palatable.

YOU SAY THAT EVERYONE IS THEIR OWN BEST
HEALER. WHY IS THAT, AND WHAT DOES THAT HAVE
TO DO WITH MY READING?
No one's experiences or challenges are quite like yours. It follows that any healing journey you take will also be uniquely your own. One of the ways you can find your healing is through self knowledge, understanding why you do what you do, and how that brings certain events into your life. Though I may walk with you as guide or mentor, you'll discover your own wellspring of healing abilities, and that you can turn even the toughest road that Spirit sends you into a journey of fulfillment.
