Carol Richardson

Carol E. Richardson was born on the equator in what was then the Belgian Congo (Dem. Rep. of Congo) and grew up going back-and-forth between Africa and the US from 1958 to 1977. Her parents both had Ivy League graduate degrees, yet chose to be missionaries to the Congo. Raised in this intellectual, multi-cultural, and religious milieu, Richardson developed both an inquiring mind, and a deeply spiritual approach to life.

Widowed at the age of 28 when her 34-year-old husband died of a cerebral aneurysm, leaving her with a 7-month-old son and a 22-month-old daughter, she completed a Master of Public Health degree in Houston, Texas, and then headed to Vanderbilt Divinity School to obtain a Master of Divinity degree. Ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), she served traditional churches for over 15 years. She then began an Eastern course of spiritual studies, with most of her training coming from a spiritual centre in England. She has practiced Raja Yoga meditation and Kriya Yoga for almost 20 years.

In 2010, she experienced what she calls "an Enlightenment Vision," and was blessed by masters of many faiths, including Buddha, Jesus Christ, Paramahansa Yogananda, Mother Mary, Lady Kwan Yin, and others.

She is an intuitive life coach and expert healer in the Washington, DC area. A former skeptic, and still a science lover, nonetheless, she now loves to share the miracles and mystical experiences she has experienced. She offers workshops on stress reduction, meditation, and a special program for children, teens, and young adults called "Mastermind Stars: Master Yourself & Your Life." She is available as an inspirational speaker, and has a motivational speech entitled "Why Are there Ants in My Salad?" for teens and preteens based on her international education during childhood.

Her mission is to empower people to discover how amazing they are as part of the universe, to experience how incredible the universe is, and to enjoy the bliss of fulfilling their pure potential.
