Mary Ellen’s Story

A life dedicated to spiritual awakening

As a spiritual teacher, healer, author, and clairvoyant reader, Mary Ellen Flora has helped thousands get in touch with their spiritual awareness and abilities. She has dedicated her life to teaching others that they are spirit and a part of God, and teaching techniques to assist in spiritual awakening.

Throughout her life, Mary Ellen has used her clairvoyant abilities to see auras; to see and communicate with spirit; to heal and to teach. Since 1976, she has been teaching classes in meditation, healing, the use of clairvoyance and many other spiritual abilities.

Training spiritual teachers

Mary Ellen makes learning techniques to meditate a fun and life-long journey. She has trained spiritual teachers and readers, many of whom continue to read and to teach others what they have learned.

Her teachings lead the student within, to discover their personal ability to create consciously as spirit. As she reflects the light that is uniquely her own, she encourages everyone else to do the same.

She received a BA in Sociology from Queens University in Charlotte, NC, and continued on to do graduate work in Education and Counseling at Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR.

Mary Ellen spent many years working with youth which included teaching pre-kindergarten in Oakland, CA, and serving as a Youth Program Director of the YMCA in San Francisco’s Mission District. Mary Ellen also lived abroad, teaching junior high and high school at the Singapore American School where her adventures in South East Asia continued to broaden her world view.
